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，大家從小就被教導不要往書上亂寫。對于有些書應該是這樣的，但教科書是用來學習的，可以在空白的地方記下一些重要的想法和心得。如果能讓 你感覺更舒服的話，你可以用鉛筆來記，更可以買些可粘貼的小便簽，在上面記些短小的筆記，然后貼到書頁上。到復習的時候，只要瀏覽一遍你的便簽便可。

    If you're renting your textbooks， make sure you understand the rules.

    如果你的教科書是借來的，一定要懂規矩哦。

    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.

    對于作者使用的寫作表現形式（如列表，文字前面作為強調的圓形符號，欄框等所有在空白處額外體現的東西），要加以充分利用。作者通常會把關鍵點拎出來加以特別處理。這些表現形式都是尋找重要信息的線索，一定要充分利用。此外，列表也通常更容易記。

    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.

    當讀到一些你認為會在考試中出現的知識點時，把它以問題的形式記下來。在問題邊上寫下答案所在的頁碼，以便在必要時查看答案。

    Keep a list of these key questions and you'll have written your own practice test.

    把這些重要問題列在一起，你就可以進行自我模考了。

    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.

    閱讀時保持一個良好的姿勢能夠讓你更長時間地，清醒地進行閱讀。讓你的身體放松，保持健康的坐姿，你便能更長時間地看書了。

    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.

    我雖然喜歡躺在床上看書，但這也總是令我很快陷入昏昏欲睡的境地。如果你也是這樣的話，那就不要躺著看書了。

    10. Practice， practice， practice. Reading fast takes practice， practice， practice. Practice makes all the difference.

    要實現閱讀速讀的提高，你必須進行一而再，再而三的反復實踐練習。熟能生巧，實踐出真知。

    Pretty soon you'll be reading faster without even realizing it.

    相信很快，你就能在不知不覺中提高閱讀速讀啦！
