讀不懂別急！手把手教你攻克高難度閱讀材料
Reading difficult material can be a matter of concentration or of simply organizing the challenge into steps:
閱讀難以理解的文字材料往往需要人們高度集中注意力，其實還有一種簡單的方法，即細分步驟、逐步解決這一難題：
Choose a moderate amount of material or a chapter to begin.
首先，選擇長度適中的文章或文章中的某一段開始閱讀。
Get a grasp of how the material is organized:
大致看一下文章的結構：
Scan the section for titles, headings, sub-headings, and topic sentences to get its general idea; pay attention to graphs, charts, and diagrams. If there is a summary at the end of a chapter, read it.
瀏覽文章的篇名、標題、副標題，段落主題句，瞭解文章的主旨大意；注意文章的圖標，表格，數據表，如果每章末尾有總結語，也要注意閱讀。
Check the beginning and the end for leading questions and exercises. Read first for what you do understand, and to determine what you do not understand to review later.
閱讀開頭和結尾，注意導入的問題和相關練習題。先讀你懂的部分，判斷文章的難度。將不懂的部分作上標記，以便等會回顧。
As you read, practice the look-away method:
閱讀的時候運用“視線轉移”的方法:
Periodically look away from the text and ask yourself a stimulus question relating to the text.
讀一段之後就將視線從文本上移開，就文本向自己提一個問題，激發自己的閱讀興趣。
Phrase the question positively!
提問題的時候要用積極的詞彙鼓勵自己往下閱讀！
Respond, or restate, in your own words.
用自己的話複述或重述
Make connections and associations,but don't use this exercise to memorize--but rather understand.
梳理文章的邏輯關聯，興發聯想，在這個過程中不要試圖背下文章——而是要試圖理解文章。
Look up words
查閱生詞
Look up words whose meanings are important to your understanding of the material, but you cannot discern from the context.
有些詞對你理解文章至關重要，而你又不能從上下文理解，用詞典查閱這些詞的意思。
Read to the end
閱讀至文章結尾
Do not get discouraged and stop reading.
一氣呵成，不要中途放棄。
Ideas can become clearer the more you read. When you finish reading, review to see what you have learned, and reread those ideas that are not clear.
隨着你閱讀的進度推進，你的理解程度也會加深。閱度完之後，回憶你從文中獲取的信息，然後就你不理解的部分重讀文段。
Organize your notes by connecting ideas you choose into an outline or concept map.
整理一下你標註過的筆記，將標註過的文段組織成一條綱領或概念關係圖。
Pay attention to relationships between ideas.
注意各個文段意義之間的關聯性。
Do not confine yourself to words!
不要拘泥於各個單獨詞語的意思!
Use representations, graphics, pictures, colors, even movement to visualize and connect ideas. Use whatever techniques work to help you understand.
運用複述文段，列圖標、畫圖畫、塗顏色、甚至做動作等各種方法，讓文意在你頭腦中呈現出來，並彼此聯通。用一切可行的方法理解文意。
At this point, if you do not understand your reading, do not panic!
到了這一步，如果你還是不能理解這篇材料，也別慌張。
Set it aside, and read it again the next day.
把文章放到一邊，明天再來讀。
If necessary, repeat. This allows your brain to process the material, even while you sleep. This is referred to as distributed reading.
如有必要，重複上述步驟。這種做法能爲你的大腦處理文章信息提供所需的時間，即使在你睡覺的時候，大腦也仍在處理信息。這種方法被稱爲分時段閱讀法。
Re-read the section you have chosen with the framework (outline or concept map) you have constructed in mind.
重讀你擇出的尚未理解的文段時，將它放入你已經在腦中建構出的文章脈絡之中（即你列出的文章大綱或概念關係圖）。
Separate out what you do understand from what you do not.
將你讀懂了的部分從你還不懂的文段中摘出來。
If the reading is still a challenge,consult with either your teacher, academic counselors, or reading specialists.
如果你感到閱讀文章仍有障礙，你可以諮詢你的老師，助教或相關專家。
