1、readingstrategiesreadingstrategies解读解读Most of us think of reading as a simple, passive process that involves reading words in a linear fashion and internalizing their meaning one at a time. But reading is actually a very complex process that requires a great deal of active participation on the part
2、of the reader. To get a better sense of the complexity of reading, read what some experts in the field have said about the reading process:What is reading?What do we read? The message is not something given in advance-or given at all- but something created by interaction between writers and readers
3、as participants in a particular communicative situation. - Roy Harris in Rethinking Writing (2000) Reading is asking questions of printed text.

Efficient reading does not result from precise perception and identification of all elements, but from skill in selecting the fewest, most productive cues necessary to produce guesses which are right the first time. The a
5、bility to anticipate that which has not been seen, of course, is vital in reading, just as the ability to anticipate what has not yet been heard is vital in listening. - Kenneth Goodman (1967) Literacy practices are almost always fully integrated with, interwoven into, constituted as part of, the ve

10、aters, flashy things. 书有可浅尝者，有可吞食者，少数则须咀嚼消化。换言之，有只须读其部分者，有只须大体涉猎者，少数则须全读，读时须全神贯注，孜孜不倦。书亦可请人代读，取其所作摘要，但只限题材较次或价值不高者，否则书经提炼犹如水经蒸馏、淡而无味矣。Of StudiesReading make a full man; conference a ready man; and writing an exact man.
