Reading Tips
阅读时，可根据阅读任务的不同，综合运用略读(skimming)与扫读(scanning) 。提高快速阅读水平。
Skimming and scanning are two fast reading skills to help to browse text and extract the key points.
The skills require practice, but once you have got the hang of them you’ll find you can get through a substantial amount of reading in quite a short time.
These reading methods make it easier for you to grasp large amounts of materials, especially when you're previewing. They are also useful when you don't need to know every word.
通过略读把握文章大意
略读(skimming)只看文章标题、下标题以及每个部分或者段落第一行，关注文章中反复出现的关键词。
略读时，要用充足的时间读懂段落的第一句和第二句，因为第一句往往是该段的主题句(topic sentence)，而第二句往往是对前句的延伸(extension)或进一步的解释(explanation)。
通过扫读寻找特定信息或特定词组
运用扫读(scanning)迅速浏览从第三句开始的后面部分，搜寻作者对开头两句的支持句(supporting sentences)，并同时注意文章中间是否有转折词(transition)，因为这些词常常会把文章的思路逆转或加入其它重要的信息。当读到段落的最后一句时，我们又要使用略读，这时必须再次放慢速度(slow down your pace)直到完全消化作者对段落的小结(conclusion)，因为该小结有可能与主题句截然相反或引导读者进入下一个段落。

Language points
1. At 9:00 a.m., they find that most of the babies are already awake and hungry.
英语中，awake常用于be, stay, keep, lie之后，作表语；但也可与shake等动词搭配，表“某人摇醒他人”等：
你得把她给摇醒。
You would have to shake her awake.
注意：awake不用于名词之前，因此用作定语时要后置。
她是最后一个醒着的人。
She was the last person awake.
他是当时唯一醒着的男孩。
He was the only one boy awake at that time.
另外，awake不与very搭配使用，表示“完全醒来；十分清醒”用fully awake，wide awake。如：
等我们到达我的住所时，他已经完全清醒过来了。
He was wide awake by the time we reached my flat.
她站起身，但还没有完全清醒。
She rose, still not quite fully awake.
2. Adult pandas spend more than 12 hours a day eating about 10 kilos of bamboo.
1) 10 kilos of bamboo意为“10公斤竹子”，该结构是不可数名词量的表达法，其结构为“数词+单位名词+of+名词”。单位名词可以是单数，也可以是复数。
2) spend … (in) doing sth.意为“花费……做某事”。
They spent two years (in) building this bridge.
造这座桥花了他们两年时间。
Summary

awake作定语时要后置。
