The doctor talked to the little boy about what they planned to do, and asked him if he would be willing(愿意的)to give his blood to his sister. I saw him hesitate(迟疑)for a moment. He took a deep breath and said, “Yes, I’ll do it if it can save Lisa.”

Reading is a good habit, but the problem is, there’s too much to read these days, and too little time to read every word of it. There are hundreds of skills (技巧) to help you read more in less time. Here are two skills that I think are very good.
Preview — if it’s long and hard. Previewing is very useful for getting a general idea of heavy reading like long magazine articles and science reports.
Here is how to preview.
●Read the first two paragraphs and the last two paragraphs (段落) carefully.
●Then read only the first sentence of the other paragraphs.
Previewing doesn’t give you all the details. It tells you not to spend time on things you don’t really want or need to read.
Skim — if it’s short and simple. Skimming is a good way to get a general idea of light reading, like popular magazines or the sports of your daily paper.
Here’s how to skim.
●Get your eyes to move fast. Sweep them across each line.
●Pick up only a few key words in each line.
Everybody skims differently. You and I may not pick up the same words when we skim the same piece, but perhaps we’ll get the same idea of what it’s all about.
6．How many skills are talked about in this passage?
A．One. B．Two. C．Three. D．Four.
7．What does the underlined word “preview” mean in Chinese?
A．精读 B．默读 C．朗读 D．略读
8. What should we do when we read a science report?
A. Read the first two paragraphs and the last two paragraphs carefully.
B. Spend a lot of time reading the details.
C. Read the first and the last sentences of each paragraph.
D. Pick up only a few key words in each line.
9．What should we NOT do when we read the news about sports events in a daily paper according to the passage?
A．Get our eyes to move fast. B．Read the last two paragraphs carefully.
C．Sweep our eyes across each line. D．Pick up only a few key words in each line.
10．What is the best title (标题) for this passage?
A．Why we should read B．What to read
C．When to read D．How to read faster

can choose one thing that could get your friend back.
