四、注重文章首、末段
對文章首、末段應該認真細讀。因為首段常常開宗明義,通過它可預測文章大意,在心理上做好準備;而末段常起歸納總結的作用。中間部分則可快速掃視。
Example:
Social workers are often the first people met by a person in need of human services.Social workers spend part of their day in an office setting or group residence and the rest of it going to people’S homes.
Children welfare workers help children and teens in abusive situations.They investigate and report instances of neglect or abuse and take action if necessary to place children in foster homes.
Medical social workers help patients and their families when diseases such as AIDS or Alzheimer’S cause suffering.They help a patient and his family adjust to the new situation.
School social workers work within school systems to help children who have emotional problems.These students are often put into special education classrooms simply because they can’t control their behaviors.A school social worker works with the family of such a student to try to integrate him or her back into the general school population.
Industrial Ot occupational social workers work within a personnel department of a business to help employees cope with job pressures Ot personal problems that affect the quality of their work.
Gerontology social workers run support groups for the elderly.They also advise the elderly and their family members on the subjects of long-term housing and health care.
A bachelor’S degree,and often a master’S degree,is the minimum requirement for a professional position in social work.However,small agencies may accept some community college courses in psychological or sociology.In such places,you may find a position available as a record keeper or an aide to one of the social workers on the staff.Salaries usually start at$1 8,000.
這是一篇介紹社會工作者的文章。首段對社會工作者下一個簡單定義,大致介紹了社工的工作特點和性質。末段提到要想成為一名社工所需的條件。而中間的五個段落則分別介紹不同種類的社工的工作特點。通過首末段可知文章大意,做題前不必在闡述細節的中間部分上浪費太多時間。
五、抓住段落主題句
文章中概括段落中心思想的句子叫段落主題句。快速尋找出各段落主題句有助于在最短的時間內掌握了解文章大意以及各段落的中心思想。
l 段落主題句在段首
段落主題句大多是段落首句。在閱讀過程中仔細閱讀段落首句常常可推測出段落的中心大意。
