例：
    After a hectic day of work and play, the body needs to rest. Sleep is necessary for good health. During this time, the body recovers from the activities of the previous day .The rest that you get while sleeping enables your body to prepare itself for the next day.

    There are four levels of sleep, each being a little deeper than the one before. As you sleep, your muscles relax little by little. Your heart beats more slowly, and your brain slows down. After you reach the fourth level, your body shifts back and forth from one level of sleep to the other.

    Although your mind slows down, from time to time you will dream, Scientists who study sleep state say that when dreaming occurs, your eyeballs begin to move more quickly (although your eyelids are closed). This stage of sleep is called REM, which stands rapid eye movement.

    If you have trouble falling asleep, some people recommend breathing very slowly and very deeply. Other people believe that drinking warm milk will help make you drowsy. There is also an old suggestion that counting sheep will put you to sleep!
Question: A good title for this passage is____.

    A. sleep
    B. good health
    C. dreams
    D. work and rest

    说明：本题属于主旨型试题，答案为A项。全文共分为四段。第一段说明睡眠的重要性；第二段解释睡眠的四个阶段用睡眠中肌肉、心跳各大脑的活动；第三段指出做梦时伴有眼球活动这一现象；第四段告诉我们治疗失眠的办法。这四段一环扣一环，始终没有离开睡眠这一主题，所以A项是正确答案。回答本题时，考生无需逐句地读，只读首句或末句就行了。

    3． 迅读

    无论是在我们平时的阅读，还是考生在考试时的阅读，常常需要了解段落的主题或文章的中心思想，还需要掌握一定的细节。这时，我们就得运用另一种阅读技巧，它就是我们这里将讲的迅读。迅读是一种比一般速度高一倍以上的阅读方法，目的是迅速从文中找到所需信息，解决问题。
    迅读要领一：首先确定你需要什么事实和细节，并对其形式进行估计。

    迅读要领二：在略读中由于对各段落和句子已进行过分析，已大致了解主题和细节，并进行过勾勒，这时就可以考虑确定在什么地方去找自己需要的有关细节或说明。

    迅读要领三：尽快用眼睛扫过文章，找到自己需要的细节描述部分，并在有关句子下做出各种记忆符号。文章浏览完毕，再将划线部分（或做其他符号）重新详读一次，并进行适当推理。
通常，迅读法适用于事实、细节型阅读理解试题。

    例：

    Languages are marvelously complex and wonderfully complicated organs of culture: they embody the quickest and the most efficient means of communicating within their respective culture; in the words of a poet and philosopher,” As many languages as one speaks, so many lives one lives”. A culture and its languages are as inseparable as brain and body; while one is a part of the other, neither can function without the other. In learning a foreign language, the best beginning is with the non-verbal linguistic elements of the language, its gestures, its body language. Eye contact is extremely important in English. Direct eye contact leads to understanding, or, as the English maxim has it, seeing eye-to-eye. We can never see eye-to-eye with a native speaker of English until we have learned to look directly into his eyes.
