前言

　　To the Instructor　　We all know that many students entering college today do not have the reading skills needed to do effective work in their courses. A related problem， apparent even in class discussions， is that students often lack the skills required to think in a clear and logical way.　　The purpose of Ten Steps to Improving College Reading Skills， Fourth Edition， is to develop effective reading and clear thinking. To do so， Part I presents a sequence of ten reading skills that are widely recognized as essential for basic and advanced comprehension. The first six skills concern the more literal levels of comprehension：　　Understanding vocabulary in context　　Recognizing main ideas　　Identifying supporting details　　Recognizing implied main ideas and the central point　　Understanding relationships that involve addition and time　　Understanding relationships that involve examples， comparison and/or contrast， and cause and effect　　The remaining skills cover the more advanced， critical levels of comprehension：　　Distinguishing between facts and opinions　　Making inferences　　Identifying an authors purpose and tone　　Evaluating arguments　　In every chapter in Part I， the key aspects of a skill are explained and illustrated clearly and simply. Explanations are accompanied by a series of practices， and each chapter ends with four review tests. The last review test consists of a reading selection so that students can apply the skill just learned to real-world reading materials， including newspaper and magazine articles and textbook selections. Together， the ten chapters provide students with the skills needed for both basic and more advanced reading comprehension.　　Following each chapter in Part I are at least six mastery tests for the skill in question. The tests progress in difficulty， giving students the additional practice and challenge they may need for the solid learning of each skill. While designed for quick grading， the tests also require students to think carefully before answering each questioin.

内容概要

John Langan has taught reading and writing at Atlantic Cape Community College near Atlantic City, New Jersey, for over twenty years. The author of a popular series of college textbooks on both subjects, he enjoys the challenge of developing materials that teach skills in an especially clear and lively way. Before teaching, he earned advanced degrees in writing at Rutgers University and in Reading at Rowan University. He also spent a year writing fiction that, he says, “is now at the back of a drawer waiting to be discovered and acclaimed posthumously.” While in school, he supported himself by working as a truck drive, a machinist, a battery assembler, a hospital attendant, and an apple packer.

章节摘录

　　Check Your Understanding　　Now read the following paragraph and see if you can underline its main idea:　　1Tailgating--following too closely behind another vehicle is a common cause of accidents. 2yet tailgating accidents could be avoided if drivers followed some clear-cut guidelines. 3Any car that is less than two seconds behind the one ahead is definitely too close. 4Two car lengths is a safe following distance to maintain in local driving. 5Two-car accidents often become chain-reaction pileups when a number of drivers are all tailgating in a line. 6At freeway speeds, or in snowy, icy or foggy conditions, people should increase following distance well beyond what is normally safe. 7Finally, drivers who are impatient or aggressive need to develop the self-control not to express those feelings through dangerous behaviors like tailgating.　　Explanation:　　In the preceding paragraph, the main idea is stated in the second sentence. The fists sentence introduces the topic, but it is the idea in the second sentence--tailgating can be avoided by following clear-cut guidelines--that is supported in the rest of the paragraph. So keep in mind that the first sentence may simply introduce or lead into the main idea of a paragraph. Very often, a contrast word like yet, but, or however signals the main idea, as in the paragraph you have just read:　　Tailgating--following too closely behind another vehicle--is a common cause of accidents. Yet tailgating accidents could be avoided if drivers followed some clear-cut guidelines.
