Helen has always been interested in helping her community (社區(qū)). Her first volunteer experience was for the American Red Cross when she was in high school. When she was a school teacher, she also found time to volunteer.

After she retired (退休), she started volunteering to help the old. When her father was older, he was not able to see as well as he used to, which made her sad because he had always enjoyed reading. She decided it would be fun to read to elderly people in her community.

She also helped one woman write her stories. Ann was almost 100 years old, and Helen wrote down information about her life when she visited her. She put the information in a book and got it published (出版), Ann was very excited to share her life story with her children and grandchildren.

After a strong storm hit some southern cities, Helen volunteered again for the American Red Cross. She prepared food and answered phones in a care centre.

One day Helen read an article in the newspaper about refugees (難民) who needed to learn English. She met once a week with Sahra, a 38-year-old woman from Somalia. Helen gave Sahra a camera and asked her to take pictures of her daily life. In the end, they wrote a book together and used the photos in the book.

1.明確閱讀任務(wù)

同學(xué)們在做題的時(shí)候，首先要先閱讀所給的任務(wù)，明確任務(wù)是什么，再帶著任務(wù)去閱讀，這樣就能做到心中有數(shù)，有針對(duì)性地去讀，才能提高閱讀效率。

2.讀全文，了解大意

明確任務(wù)后，要迅速閱讀全文來了解文章主要內(nèi)容，以及文章的感情基調(diào)、作者的意圖等。因?yàn)榇蠹抑�道在材料后的問題設(shè)置中，經(jīng)常有對(duì)文章大意的考查。對(duì)于概括大意的題目，需要全篇考慮，這類題目有時(shí)可以從文中直接找到答案，但有時(shí)需要用自己的話來概括。這類題難度較大，對(duì)文章還得再讀一讀，才能總結(jié)出來。

除此之外，還經(jīng)�？疾榻o文章擬標(biāo)題。這類題目可以通過尋找主題句和高頻詞來完成。主題句往往是首句或尾句，但如果沒有主題句，就可以從短文中去提煉、概括。確定標(biāo)題同學(xué)們必須遵循兩個(gè)原則，第一個(gè)是標(biāo)題要有概括性，就是說標(biāo)題應(yīng)在最大程度上覆蓋全文，體現(xiàn)文章的中心大意；第二個(gè)是標(biāo)題要醒目，即標(biāo)題要吸引讀者的注意力。
