速食时代阅读也疯狂

原以为自己阅读文章的速度应该不算慢，一本杂志或一叠报纸可以马上翻完。上次的LSAT模拟考却给我一个不小的打击。4篇文章全部是学术专题，艰涩难懂，看完它们已经花掉大部分时间，之后每篇文章还要回答7-8个刁钻无比的问题，根本是不可能完成的任务。赶紧去图书馆借了一本《RAPID READING》花了一个下午啃完。里面主要讲述的几个小技巧有：

* 把手掌放书页中间，左右横扫并逐渐下移，强迫自己的视线跟着迅速移动
* 边看边绘制鱼骨图，掌握文章的脉络结构
* 只看关键字，忽略没有实际意义的词。例如下面这段文字，应只专注于红色部分：

"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way - in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only."

真的有用吗？这个礼拜正好放假，每天做几个阅读练习，看看效果如何。
