序言
To the Instructor
We all know that many students entering college today do not have the reading skills needed to do effective work in their courses. A related problem, apparent even in class discussions, is that students often lack the skills required to think in a clear and logical way.
The purpose of Ten Steps to Improving College Reading Skills, Fourth Edition, is to develop effective reading and clear thinking. To do so, Part I presents a sequence of ten reading skills that are widely recognized as essential for basic and advanced comprehension. The first six skills concern the more literal levels of comprehension:
Understanding vocabulary in context
Recognizing main ideas
Identifying supporting details
Recognizing implied main ideas and the central point
Understanding relationships that involve addition and time
Understanding relationships that involve examples, comparison and/or contrast, and cause and effect
The remaining skills cover the more advanced, critical levels of comprehension:
Distinguishing between facts and opinions
Making inferences
Identifying an author's purpose and tone
Evaluating arguments
In every chapter in Part I, the key aspects of a skill are explained and illustrated clearly and simply. Explanations are accompanied by a series of practices, and each chapter ends with four review tests. The last review test consists of a reading selection so that students can apply the skill just learned to real-world reading materials, including newspaper and magazine articles and textbook selections. Together, the ten chapters provide students with the skills needed for both basic and more advanced reading comprehension.
Following each chapter in Part I are at least six mastery tests for the skill in question. The tests progress in difficulty, giving students the additional practice and challenge they may need for the solid learning of each skill. While designed for quick grading, the tests also require students to think carefully before answering each questioin.
文摘
Check Your Understanding
Now read the following paragraph and see if you can underline its main idea:
1Tailgating——following too closely behind another vehicle is a common cause of accidents. 2yet tailgating accidents could be avoided if drivers followed some clear-cut guidelines. 3Any car that is less than two seconds behind the one ahead is definitely too close. 4Two car lengths is a safe following distance to maintain in local driving. 5Two-car accidents often become chain-reaction pileups when a number of drivers are all tailgating in a line. 6At freeway speeds, or in snowy, icy or foggy conditions, people should increase following distance well beyond what is normally safe. 7Finally, drivers who are impatient or aggressive need to develop the self-control not to express those feelings through dangerous behaviors like tailgating.
Explanation:
In the preceding paragraph, the main idea is stated in the second sentence. The fists sentence introduces the topic, but it is the idea in the second sentence——tailgating can be avoided by following clear-cut guidelines——that is supported in the rest of the paragraph. So keep in mind that the first sentence may simply introduce or lead into the main idea of a paragraph. Very often, a contrast word like yet, but, or however signals the main idea, as in the paragraph you have just read:
Tailgating——following too closely behind another vehicle——is a common cause of accidents. Yet tailgating accidents could be avoided if drivers followed some clear-cut guidelines.
