序言阅读既是理解和吸收语言文化信息的重要手段之一，又是语言文化信息的最便捷的输入源。我国教育部新制定的全日制义务教育和普通高级中学《英语课程标准》对学生的阅读技能从三级到九级提出了明确的要求。在目前国内外的各种英语测试中，阅读理解所占的比重越来越大。为此，我们特向你推荐“中学英语拓展阅读丛书”（Timed Readings Plus）。本丛书含有以下3个子系列：社会科学（Social．Studies）、自然科学（．Science）及数学（Mathematics），由上海外语教育出版社从美国McGraw Hill Glencoe公司引进出版。社会科学和自然科学各有10个分册，社会科学每册有24课，自然科学每册有25课，每课两篇阅读材料；数学有5个分册，每册有15课，每课两篇阅读材料。本丛书语言地道，知识面广，信息量大，能有效训练学生的阅读理解能力，提高他们的阅读速度。每课的第一篇阅读材料篇幅长400单词左右，侧重训练学生的快速阅读能力；阅读理解题则主要检查学生是否能在快速阅读后掌握阅读材料中的事实和材料所传达的思想。每课中的第二篇阅读材料较短，着重训练学生的阅读技巧，如：从上下文中猜测生词的含义，找出作者的观点，得出中心思想，排列事件顺序，推断作者的论点等。因此，我们认为它是一套训练学生阅读速度及阅读理解能力并能同时开拓他们视野的拓展型丛书，适合外国语学校初二及以上年级学生和非外国语学校高中学生课内、外使用。
怎样使用本系列丛书呢？我们有以下的一些阅读策略供大家参考。
1．阅读时，要集中注意力。
2．用一分钟阅读标题，并思考以下问题：我是否了解这一话题？我从这个话题中能学到什么？这个话题引起了我怎样的思考？
3．重点阅读文章第一句和最后一句，因为第一句和最后一句往往是作者提出自己观点和总结全文观点的关键句子。
4．快速阅读全文以获得材料所传达给你的信息。如遇到含有姓名、日期或数字等的内容，你应该放慢速度，以便记住这些内容。
怎样才是一个快速阅读者？
文摘The Militarr anders in
Aviation is much more than flying an airplane; it is a whole field of careers in computer and mechanical sciences, communications, education, law, medicine, and management. Avia- tion in the U.S. Armed Services takes place on land and at sea as well as in the air. In the Army, for example, 26 of 212 jobs touch on aviation in some way. These jobs exist in the areas of field artillery, dectronic maintenance and certification, aircraft maintenance, and aviation operations.
Av/on/cs is a key specialty; it focuses on flight-control systems. The word is derived from the old phrase "aviation electronics. " In avionics one might design, build, or maintain the electronic instruments used in flight. These instruments permit communications between air- craft and with the ground, and they control steering, speed, altitude, and even the deploy- ment of an aircraft's weapons. Air traffic-control systems also depend on avionics. These sys- tems track and coordinate the movements of aircraft as they take off and land.
Some aviation jobs in the Armed Services require skills such as medical training. The U.S. Goast Guard, for instance, is dedicated to the patrol and safety of American waters. Rescue crews may have to fly through storms and around obstacles, jump into raging seas, transfer victims to helicopters or ships, and administer first aid. Such work is both physically demanding and extremely dangerous.
Pilots in today's military service operate every kind of aircraft there is, including small helicopters, gigantic transport planes, fighter jets, and the space shuttle. Military pilots hold the rank of officer and are both well educated and highly trained. In the Navy, future pilots must have earned a bachelor's degree before they may attend Aviation Officer Candidate School. Their basic flight and navigation training includes academic study and physical-fitness training as well as flying lessons. The next phases of training are designed to imp
