摘要

Introduction Some books are to be read only in parts; others to be read, but not curiously; and some few to be read wholly, and with diligence and attention’ (Bacon). What Bacon said is quite true; we use different reading skills for different books, but how can we read most efficiently and get information in the shortest possible time? Some people argue that a large vocabulary is the most important element, it is ’everything’. By vocabulary they mean those words which can be recognized or decoded instantly and for which they have an appropriate concept. To some extent, I agree with this opinion-but I do think reading is a very complicated process-it is not as easy as all that. Reading concerns many aspects of the language. What’s more, we need certain skills in reading to get the best result from different kinds of reading materials.
