1. Read only the first sentence of a paragraph.
If your author is a good author, he or she will begin each paragraph with a key statement that tells you what that paragraph is about. By reading only the first sentence, you can determine if the paragraph has information you need to know.
如果作者够水准的话，他/她在每段的开头都会交代一下该段所的大概内容。只要读每段的第一句话，你就能够判断出该段有没有你想了解的信息了。
If you're reading literature, this still applies, but know that you may miss details that enrichthe story. When the language in literature is artful, I would choose to read every word.
如果你读的是文学作品的话，这个方法依然适用。不过要知道，这样的话你可能会错过很多用于丰富故事的细节。如果所读的文学作品妙语连珠的话，我会选择逐字逐句地拜读。
2. Skip to the last sentence of the paragraph.
The last sentence in a paragraph should also contain clues for you about the importance of the material covered. A last sentence often serves two functions -- it wraps up the thought expressed and provides a connection to the next paragraph.
一段的最后一句话也应该会包含有关这段材料的重要性的线索。段末一句话一般来说有2个功能-总结一下所表达的思想；为下一段作过渡。
3. Read phrases.
When you've skimmedfirst and last sentences and determined the paragraph is worth reading, you still don't need to read every word. Move your eyes quickly over each line and look for phrases and key words. Your mind will automaticallyfill in the words between.
当浏览过段首及段末的两句话后，如果你觉得这段内容值得你去读，你也不必逐字通读。眼睛快速扫描每行文字，寻找词组和关键词。你的大脑会自动帮你补全那些跳过的文字的。
4. Ignore the little words.
Ignore the little words like it, to, a, an, and, be -- you know the ones. You don't need them. Your brain will see these little words without acknowledgment.
忽略诸如it,to,a,an,and,be等“小词”-这些词你太熟悉了。（在阅读过程中，）你并不需要他们。你的大脑会自动识别这些小词的。
5. Look for key points.
Look for key points while you're reading for phrases. You're probably already aware of the key words in the subject you're studying. They'll pop out at you. Spend a little more time with the material around those key points.
在以词组为单位进行阅读时，注意寻找要点。有关于文章中研究对象的关键词，可能你在事先已做到心中有数了。在阅读过程中，这些关键词会在你眼前跳出来。多花点时间在那些要点附近的材料上。
6. Mark key thoughts in the margins.
I know you were taught not to write in your books, and some books should be kept pristine, but a textbook is for studying. Mark key thoughts in the margins. If it makes you feel better, use a pencil. Even better, buy a packet of those little stickie tabs and slap one on the page with a short note.When it's time to review, simply read through your tabs.
我知道，大家从小就被教导不要往书上乱写。对于有些书应该是这样的，但教科书是用来学习的，可以在空白的地方记下一些重要的想法和心得。如果能让 你感觉更舒服的话，你可以用铅笔来记，更可以买些可粘贴的小便签，在上面记些短小的笔记，然后贴到书页上。到复习的时候，只要浏览一遍你的便签便可。
If you're renting your textbooks, make sure you understand the rules.
如果你的教科书是借来的，一定要懂规矩哦。
7. Use all the tools provided -- lists, bullets, sidebars.
Use all the tools the author provides -- lists, bullets, sidebars, anything extra in the margins. Authors usually pull out key points for special treatment. They're clues to important information. Use them all. Besides, lists are usually easier to remember.
对于作者使用的写作表现形式（如列表，文字前面作为强调的圆形符号，栏框等所有在空白处额外体现的东西），要加以充分利用。作者通常会把关键点拎出来加以特别处理。这些表现形式都是寻找重要信息的线索，一定要充分利用。此外，列表也通常更容易记。
8. Take notes for practice tests.
When you read something you know will show up on a test, write it down in the form of a question. Note the page number beside it so you can check your answers if necessary.
当读到一些你认为会在考试中出现的知识点时，把它以问题的形式记下来。在问题边上写下答案所在的页码，以便在必要时查看答案。
Keep a list of these key questions and you'll have written your own practice test.
把这些重要问题列在一起，你就可以进行自我模考了。
9. Read with good posture.
Reading with good posture helps you read longer and stay awake longer. Give your body a break. Sit in a healthy way and you'll last a lot longer.
阅读时保持一个良好的姿势能够让你更长时间地，清醒地进行阅读。让你的身体放松，保持健康的坐姿，你便能更长时间地看书了。
Much as I love to read in bed, it puts me to sleep. If reading puts you to sleep, too, don't read lying down.
我虽然喜欢躺在床上看书，但这也总是令我很快陷入昏昏欲睡的境地。如果你也是这样的话，那就不要躺着看书了。
10. Practice, practice, practice.
Reading fast takes practice, practice, practice. Practice makes all the difference.
要实现阅读速读的提高，你必须进行一而再，再而三的反复实践练习。熟能生巧，实践出真知。
Pretty soon you'll be reading faster without even realizing it.
相信很快，你就能在不知不觉中提高阅读速读啦！
