語篇導讀很多同學非?？释嗫袋c書來拓寬自己的知識面，但是拿起書本后卻發(fā)現(xiàn)，不知怎么回事，無論怎么看都看不進去，而且就算逼著自己去看，也是看一點忘一點，基本就是在那認字而已。那么，我們應該如何提高自己的閱讀效率呢？

1.Define your purpose for reading

Before you start reading， ask yourself why you are reading this book. Most of people read for two main reasons—pleasure or knowledge.

Being specific and clear about your reading purpose not only helps you to eliminate books that you don？蒺t need to read， but also reminds you why reading the book is important to you as you are reading it. This motivates you to keep reading and completing the book faster.

2.Read only what you are attracted to

Whether you are reading fictions or nonfictions， it？蒺s important to enjoy what you read. Your friends may recommend books that they love， but those books might not be the ones you enjoy.

3.Give up books that you don？蒺t enjoy

You may have selected books that are aligned with your purpose. You may have selected books that you are attracted to. But as you are reading them， there may still be some books that you won？蒺t enjoy reading.

Whenever you realize that you aren？蒺t enjoying the book you are reading， give it up. Remember reading shouldn？蒺t be a chore.

4.Set a reading goal

Having a reading goal helps you figure out how much reading you need to do in a week or even a day.

5.Give yourself a deadline to complete each book

Before you read each book， ask yourself when you need to complete this book by.

When you don？蒺t set a deadline to complete your book， there isn？蒺t a sense of urgency. And when something isn？蒺t urgent， you tend to procrastinate.

典句賞析

1.Being specific and clear about your reading purpose not only helps you to eliminate books that you don？蒺t need to read， but also reminds you why reading the book is important to you as you are reading it.確定并清楚自己的閱讀目標不僅能幫你排除不需要讀的書，也能在你閱讀的時候提醒你閱讀這本書的重要性。

not only...but also...是一個并列連詞，意為“不僅……而且……”。它是英語中比較常見的一個關聯(lián)詞組，用于連接兩個表示并列關系的句子成分，著重強調(diào)后者，其中的also有時可以省略。not only...but also...在連接主語時，利用“就近原則”來判斷謂語的單復數(shù)，即根據(jù)but also后所跟的主語的單復數(shù)來決定謂語的單復數(shù)。

2.Whenever you realize that you aren？蒺t enjoying the book you are reading， give it up.不管什么時候你發(fā)現(xiàn)不喜歡讀的那本書，那就不讀了。

“that you aren？蒺t enjoying the book you are reading”是that引導的賓語從句，作動詞realize的賓語。you are reading是the book的限制性定語從句，關系代詞that或者which被省略了。give up是“動詞+副詞”構成的固定詞組，意為“放棄”或“停止”。當give up后接代詞作賓語時，該代詞放在這兩個單詞的中間。例如：

I？蒺m afraid we can？蒺t give them up， poor dogs.恐怕我們不能放棄他們，可憐的狗狗們。

【即時嘗試】這是我到這里后看的第一場電影。

1.明確你的閱讀目標

在閱讀之前問問自己為何要讀這本書。大部分的人讀書有兩個原因——興趣或者知識。

確定并清楚自己的閱讀目標不僅能幫你排除不需要讀的書，也能在你閱讀的時候提醒你閱讀這本書的重要性。這能促使你一直閱讀，并且能更快地讀完。

2.只讀你感興趣的書

不管是小說類還是非小說類，重要的是你喜歡你所讀的書。你朋友可能推薦他們喜歡讀的書，但是那些書可能并不是你所喜歡讀的。

3.不讀你不喜歡讀的書

也許選書的時候你是帶著一定的目的性，也許你是因為被這些書吸引了才選的。但是當你閱讀的時候，有些書可能并不是你喜歡讀的。

不管什么時候你發(fā)現(xiàn)不喜歡讀的那本書，那就不讀了。記住，閱讀不應該是一件討厭的工作。

4.設定一個閱讀目標

有閱讀目標能幫你弄清楚一周或一天需要閱讀多少。

5.給每一本書設定一個截止日期

在你閱讀每一本書之前，問問自己你需要什么時候讀完這本書。

當你沒有設定一個讀完書的截止日期的時候，就會沒有緊迫感。當事情不緊迫了，你就會拖延。
