Unit 2 English around the world 略 读 　　略读(skimming)是利用较短的时间粗略地阅读全文的阅读策略，其主要目的是迅速抓住文章的主旨大意或作者的写作意图。这是一种高效的、有选择性的、有针对性的阅读技巧。掌握略读这一技巧的关键就在于学会在阅读过程中区别文章的重要部分和非重要部分，全局部分和枝节部分。一些次要信息要大胆略去不读，迅速找出topic sentence，即找出概括全段大意的句子。 　　在运用这一方法阅读文章时，要特别注意：①文章的标题；②文章的首句或引导性段落；③文章尾部的结论性词语；④反映段落中心思想的主题句。如果我们找到了每段的主题句，再将这些主题句集中在一起，就差不多能够把握住全文的中心内容了。 一、阅读理解 A 　　What do you think of British people and American people? You might think that there are no differences between the people in the two countries. After all they speak the same language, dont they? But if you ask a British or an American person, the differences are quite great. 　　What do British people think Americans are like? The British think Americans are very strange. They make a lot of noise and they laugh too loudly. They are rich, and they only think about money. But the British do say that Americans are kind, friendly people.（但是英国人的确认为美国人是可亲的、友善的。do 在句中是为了表示强调。） They are happy to help you if you are in trouble. 　　What do Americans think of the British? Well, they think the British are cold and very unfriendly. They are not interested in success or in making lots of money. They think Britain is the best country in the world. They look down upon other countries. But Americans say that the British are quite good workers. They are brave and honest. And in time of trouble they face difficulties happily. 　　You can see that these ideas can cause misunderstanding between the British and Americans.（你会发现这些想法可能会在英国人和美国人之间引起误解。）But when American and British people become friends, they usually find things are not as bad as they expected. 　　析：本文讲述了英美两国人对彼此的看法。 1.
