Now, how are you going to use this time? The thing that I want you to practice eventually... I will show you on another video how to do it, but spend five to seven minutes getting the gist of the reading.
那么，你們要怎么利用這段時間呢？我想讓你們慢慢練習的一件事就是......我之后會在另一個視頻里告訴你們具體要怎么做，不過現在請花5到7分鐘的時間找到閱讀材料的主旨。
The gist? The overall idea. Get a sense of what the article is about.
什么是主旨呢？就是文章大意，弄清楚整篇文章大概講了什么。
Find the thesis statement for each paragraph, and find the key words.
找到每一段的中心句，找到關鍵詞。
Now, why are we doing this? By doing this, you will be able to write a heading, a one sentence, a very short sentence saying: what is this paragraph about? You write that down next to the paragraph.
我們為什么要這么做呢？通過這種方法，你們就可以寫出一個標題，一個很簡短的句子，用來說明這一段是關于什么內容的。你們要把這句話寫在段落旁邊。
You do that for every paragraph, if you can do this quickly... And believe me, it takes a lot of practice.
接下來每一段都是如此，如果你們能夠快速完成這個......相信我，要做到這一點需要多加練習。
If you can do this quickly, then everything else is very easy, once you have the heading, you can answer the heading type questions.
如果你們能快速做到這一點，那么剩下的事情就很簡單了，一旦寫出了標題，你們就能回答出與標題相關的問題。
The summaries you can answer because you know where to begin the summary, and then you just follow along and complete it.
總結類問題也能回答得出來，因為你們知道該從哪里開始總結了，然后只要順著步驟完成它就可以了。
The most important, though, is everybody's favourite question: true, false, not given; yes, no, not given.
不過最重要的還是大家最喜歡的問題類型：正確，錯誤，文章沒有提到；是，否，文章沒有提到。
Everybody thinks "not given", that's the hardest question. It doesn't have to be. Okay?
大家都覺得“文章沒有提到”是最難的問題。但是也不一定。
The not given question wastes a lot, a lot of time. Why? Because people try to read the entire article to find an answer that is not there.
“文章沒有提到”類問題會浪費大把大把的時間。為什么？因為人們會試著把整篇文章從頭到尾看一遍，企圖找到并不存在的答案。
If it is not given, you will not find it. So why spend so much time looking for something that is not there?
如果文章中沒有提到的話，你們是找不到它的。那么為什么要花那么多時間去找根本不存在的東西呢？
What you should do, if you can do this properly, then whatever the question is, you should understand where it ought to be.
你們應該做的是，如果你們能正確做到這一點，那么無論問題是什么，你們都應該知道它在哪里。
This is the question, the answer should be in paragraph three because that's the structure of this article, that's what... this paragraph is talking about this information in the question.
比如說你們要回答的是這個問題，答案應該在第三段，因為這就是這篇文章的結構，這就是......這一段討論的就是問題中的信息。
So you go to paragraph three, you don't find the answer, you look a little bit at paragraph two, not there, you look a little bit at paragraph four, also not there, guess what? It's not given. Circle it, move on.
所以你們要去第三段找，如果在第三段沒有找到答案，就看一眼第二段，第二段也沒有，就看看第四段，還是沒有的話，不用想了，這就是文章中沒有提到。勾上答案，繼續做題。
