3、own every word that I say.Id like you to take active notes rather than passive notes.Write down what can make you feel or learn something.Unit 1 ReadingFESTIVALS AND CELEBRATIONS汉语是我们的母语，我们从学英语开始，就是用汉语来解释和记忆英语的。变“用汉语解释和记忆英语”为“用英语解释和记忆英语”。避免了将英语转换为另一种语言汉语所带来的不便和时间耗费。不但提高了效率，而且久而久之，有可能在头脑中建立起两种思维系统，即在

4、汉语思维之外，还可以逐步建立起独立的英语思维系统。用英语解释和记忆英语，本身就是在学习和运用英语，对提高英语语感和英语的阅读理解能力以及综合运用能力很有好处，是一举多得的好方法。真正做到了用英语品味英语，越品越有味；用英语理解英语，理解更准确。鉴于本环节初次尝试此种设置，可能有些学生对英语解释不能完全理解，为降低难度，英文解释后还配有中文解释，以方便学生回顾早读课中已预习过的单词，进一步加深记忆。Read the explanation and speak out the word it explains.a person related to you who lived a long tim

14、ding 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 scanningSkimming 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 youll find you can get through a substantial amou

15、nt of reading in quite a short time.These reading methods make it easier for you to grasp large amounts of material,especially when youre previewing.They are also useful when you dont need to know every word.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(top

16、ic sentence)，而第二句往往是对前句的延伸(extension)或进一步的解释(explanation)。通过略读把握文章大意运用扫读(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。通过扫
