前言

　　我們在教學中發(fā)現(xiàn)，很多學生由于語言水平的局限，習慣于逐字逐句地閱讀，注意力通常集中在字和句上，尤其是那些自己不認識的詞上。這也就是為什么多數(shù)外語學習者總覺得詞匯量太小，讀不懂，不知作者（文章）所云。那么如何才能成為一個熟練的外語閱讀者呢？首先要克服一些不良的閱讀習慣，養(yǎng)成良好的閱讀習慣，如：　　1.用手、尺子、鉛筆等指著單詞，一個字一個字地讀，這樣無形中降低了閱讀速度。要養(yǎng)成按照“意群”閱讀的習慣，放寬眼睛“掃描”的范圍，以提高閱讀速度。這可以通過摘抄“好詞佳句”來練習。本書每篇文章后的Useful Expressions部分就是一個示范。記憶也要從單純的單詞記憶轉(zhuǎn)為短語、句子記憶。　　2.必須讀出聲才能理解。也就是說，首先要把字符變成聲音，然后由聲音轉(zhuǎn)化成意義，這實際上多了一個閱讀程序，速度自然也就慢了下來。出聲閱讀是閱讀的初級階段，要成為一個熟練的閱讀者，必須有意識地多進行“默讀”練習，學會將字符直接轉(zhuǎn)化成意義的技能。　　3.只動眼睛不動手，這是許多學習者總覺得記不住文章內(nèi)容的原因之一。閱讀時一定要手眼并用，學會做批注，即邊閱讀，邊把標志文章脈絡(luò)的重點信息或重點詞語畫出來，這一方面幫助記憶，另一方面也幫助理解?！　?.遇到生詞就畫下來，這是為什么許多英語學習者總覺得生詞太多讀不懂的原因之一。通常在閱讀時用筆畫下的應(yīng)該是文章的重點，這一點我們回憶一下閱讀漢語文章的過程就能發(fā)現(xiàn)。而遇到生詞就畫下來實際上對理解文章毫無幫助，而且會給閱讀者本人造成一種心理壓力（這么多生詞肯定讀不懂?。绕湓诳荚嚂r就更是如此。那么試著把注意力集中到那些已經(jīng)認識的詞或短語上來，你會發(fā)現(xiàn)根據(jù)這些即使你不能理解所有的細節(jié)，也能夠理解文章的基本思想。

章節(jié)摘錄

　　25　increasingly vibrant pop scene. Korean singer BoA outsold all Japanese artists in March. Instead of touring Europe, Japanese women these days are just as likely to visit Seoul to have a massage and shop.[4] Meanwhile, Koreas youth, for whom the trendy present is more relevant than the remote past, sop up Japanese exports such as comic books, animated movies 30　and video games. "The Japanese did us wrong in the past," says 20-year-old Lee Ho Yun as she sips a coffee at a Seoul cacatering to Japanese manga and anita6 fans. "That doesnt mean we still have to hate Japan." During the occupation, Japan forced Koreans to take Japanese names, part of an attempt to stamp out Korean identity. Today Lee and her friends adopt Japanese nicknames for fun. She calls 35 herself Izumi, because "it sounds pretty."[5] The increased exchange can in part be ascribed to the easing of government barriers designed to prevent cultural "pollution." Korea banned imports of Japanese movies, music and other material until 1998. That year, Japans then-Prime Minister Keizo Obuchi signed a written apology for subjugating Koreans, and Koreas40　President Kim Dae Jung agreed to a gradual lifting of the restrictions. Today most Japanese video games and movies can be imported legally. Game console software and songs with Japanese lyrics are still officially banned but are widely available.[6] A stronger reason for cultural drtente is Koreas newfound socioeconomic parity. Even Koreans will admit their lingering resentment is tinged with envy of a45　neighbor that seemed to be so impossibly rich and successful. But in the past several years, the peninsula has come up in the world. Koreas economy is soaring while Japans stagnates. Korean companies that once copied Japanese electronic gadgets are growing fast and developing global brands. Samsung Electronics earned $2.1 billion last year, more than Sony and the other top five Japanese electronics makers50　combined. Korea had the best-performing stock market in the world in 2001. The country is a leader in its adoption of digital technology. At the end of 2001, more than half of Koreas households were using broadband, compared with less than 5 of Japans, and the formers prowess at wireless communications rivals the latters. "Korea is becoming more mature and confident as a nation and Japan is beginning to55　appreciate Korea for its achievements" says Lee Jung Hoon, who teaches Japan-Korean relations at Yonsei University in Seoul. "The momentum is there for a much-improved relationship."
