章节摘录

　　7. Understanding main ideas　　You will practice recognizing the main ideas contained within a text. In the process of skimming you will alreadyhave identified some of these main ideas. During a second and third reading you can recognize and understand themmore fully. Each paragraph will usually contain one main idea, sometimes referred to as the paragraph topic.　　The reading materials provide several exercises which help you identify and understand the main ideas in a text.Knowing the key points in a reading text is vital in assessing its importance and relevance for your needs. Understandingthe main ideas will also lead you to an understanding of a writers organization.　　Example 3: One hundred years ago, school teachers were expected to provide a variety of services inaddition to their teaching duties and to behave themselves in an exemplary （serving as an example） manner. They cared for the oil lamps, tended the fire, and supplied their students with sharp pencils. After a long day in the classroom, they were expected to spend some time every evening reading the Bible. Women teachers could not marry, and barber shops were off limits to men teachers. Of course, alcohol and tobacco were forbidden.　　Which statement best expresses the main idea？　　A. Teachers performed domestic tasks.　　B. The teaching profession demanded total dedication.　　C. Teachers needed the guidance of religion.　　D. Teachers set good examples by not using tobacco and alcohol.　　8. Recognizing important facts and details　　To understand the main idea thoroughly, however, you must recognize the important facts or details which helpdevelop or support it. These facts and details give you a deeper understanding of the main idea. They may prove a point,show a relationship between ideas, or serve as examples to help you understand the main idea more fully. Here aresome ways to help you recognize important facts or details:　　1 ） Read for the main idea. If you have identified the main idea, you can more easily recognize the important facts that support it.　　2） Keep it in mind that not all facts or details are equally important. Look only for the facts that related to the main idea.　　3） To check on your understanding of the material you have read, review the facts or details which you have identified as the main idea. If adding up the facts or details does not lead logically to the main idea, you have failed either to identify the main idea or to recognize the important supporting details.
