Part Ⅱ Reading Comprehension
1 College is a place to explore many possibilities; you really can't do it all—unless you manage your time wisely. Here are some tips I have found very helpful for managing my time and maximizing my study efforts: 1. Determine your goals. What do you want to get out of a college education? Academic (学术的) knowledge? Leadership experience within a club? Decide what is most important to you. Then devote proportionate (相称的) amounts of time to those efforts. 2. Plan ahead. You may think you can keep everything in your head, but as the activities on your schedule start piling up, making a schedule can really help organize even little tasks. 3. Study at strategic (关键的) times. Don't wait until you're falling asleep to study. Study first. Save those emails to check later, because tasks that don't require much energy and attention can still be done when you're tired. 4. Motivate (激励) yourself! You know that TV show you've been dying to see, or that game of chess you've been waiting all week to challenge your friend to. These and many other special activities can be used for motivation. Promise yourself that you'll force yourself to work efficiently. (Don't rush through the assignment, though.) 5. Take a nap. Sometimes even a 20-minute nap in the afternoon will give you the extra energy you need to get through the day.

5 Reading for information is the kind of reading you do in your own language. You do not stop to analyze tenses and clauses when you pick up a book written in your native language. You understand structure without thinking about it. It is second nature to you. Now you must develop this skill in English. You must be able to read beyond the clause markers (标志语) and prepositions and other structure clues. You must learn to read for meaning. A reading comprehension test measures how well you understand the meaning of a passage. It measures your ability to understand the author's main idea and the facts used to support the main idea. It measures your ability to read "between the lines" and use contextual clues to infer what the author implied. It measures your ability to do this as quickly as a native speaker of English. To improve your reading comprehension, you have to develop certain skills. These skills include skimming or scanning a reading passage, identifying the main idea and supporting statements; making inferences, and using context (上下文) clues to help you guess. Scanning means looking over a passage very quickly to find specific information such as a date, a name, or a particular word. Skimming means getting a quick, general overview of the passage. Both are techniques you will begin to use today and continue to use each time you read something in English or your own language. Every time you read, you should use a technique called SQ3R: Survey, Question, Read, Review and Recall.
