1、Unit 6 Good manners扩大视幅扩大视幅是高效阅读的一种技巧，它是指在阅读过程中，我们要扩大眼睛在阅读材料上每停留一次所能感知的文字的广度。阅读的过程，实际上是一个积极思维、迅速将文字符号转换为词义的过程。一般说来，我们的视幅总长度可达到4-5厘米。所以我们在阅读过程中，要尽可能扩大视线在文章每一行的覆盖范围，将尽可能多的单词收入视线范围之内。眼睛所注视的范围越大，输入大脑的文字内容也就越多，我们的阅读速度自然也就越快。我们平时在阅读时，不能逐词阅读，要不断训练自己从“点读”过渡到“句读”、“段读”，让我们的识别幅度覆盖一个完整的思维单位，学会整体认读、整体理解句子意思，并要熟悉
2、句子的结构和词语的搭配习惯，切忌读破句。Passage A阅读理解Different countries and different people have different manners. We must find out their customs, so that they will not think us illmannered.
