章节摘录

　　Eificient reading requires the use of various problem-solving skills. For example，it is impossible for you to know the exact meaning of every word you read. but bv developing your guessing ability following context clues，you will often be able to understand enough to arrive at the total meaning of a sentence，paragraph，or essay.　　Context refers to the sentence and paragraph in which a word occurs. To use context clues to get an approximate estimate of the meaning of unfamiliar words is one of the most important reading skills language learners are about to develop.　　Context clues Can be used to guess the meaning of unfamiliar words owing to the fact that a text is not a mere cluster of words or sentences that are not interrelated. Quite to the contrary，it must have certain features，including unity and cohesion to qualified as a text.
