③记叙文，或者讲故事，文章的中心思想通常在最后一段的最后一句。当然，文章的格式不是千篇一律的，有些记叙文的中心会放在第一段的第二句，第一句是引子；有些文章的中心放在第二段的第一句，第一段是引子。所以记叙文或者讲故事的文章要注意看三个地方，第一段第二句，第二段第一句，最后一段最后一句。

如何读文章与选答案？---当你拿到一篇文章的时候，应该按以下顺序进行操作：

①区分文章题材（读第一句，第二句）

②抓中心句和结论句

③如果中心句不明确，可以先不用考虑中心句。这时只需要看文章后面的5个问题的题干，也可以抓中心词。（中心句和结论句重复最多的单词或者5个问题的

题干重复最多的单词）

④不读文章，直接读问题，对问题进行分类，看问题考的是什么。

⑤解题的四大原则

1，先读有中心词的选项（一般就是答案，但要注意否定与绝对）。考生要特别注意隐性否定词，除了not以外，还有false, ignore, neglect, few, little, less, hardly, scarely,seldomly, fail, error, mistake, reluntant, refuse, reject, difficulty, doubtful,suspect, lie.要注意双重否定是为肯定。

2，再读相对词的选项（一般是答案，但要主要否定）（相对词may, might, can, could, often,usually, sometimes,some, probable, possible, probably, actually, certain, should，many,almost, nearly, seems, likely (like to)，one, another,other, remain ，tend to, every day）。绝对词一般不是答案（除非原文也重复出现）（only, all, always,never,must, have to ，completely, absolutely，entirely, utterly），但是要特别注意肯定与否定。

3，关键词回归定位（要注意句子的结构和重心）

4，段落中but, however, yet, finally, so,as a result, turn out, latest, moreover, what more, most important, 等表达转折与总结的地方做一做标志，因为这些通常有答案，尤其是前4个单词出现的句子基本上就是答案所在，要特别注意。

ABCD出现以下单词的一般为正确答案。谨慎使用，在你无法确定答案的时候使用。

1、表达保留的概念一般是解：still , remain, leave, rest, daily（every day）, means, title,

2、表达趋势的概念一般是解：new, aware, look, move, shift, likely(like to) ,seems, threat(hazard), potentian, development,advacne, improve,

3、表达影响的概念一般是解：influnce, strong, between, vary , efficient, cause,attract, no less than,base, fundamentally

I knew a man who was asked to be the new dean (院长) of the college of business of a large university. When he first arrived, he studied the situation the college faced and felt that what it needed most was money. He recognized that he had a unique capacity to raise money, and he developed a real sense of vision about fund-raising as his primary function.

This created a problem in the college because past deans had focused

mainly on meeting day-to-day faculty needs. this new dean was never there . He was running around the country trying to raise money for research .But he was not attending to the day-to-day things as the previous dean had. The faculty, who were used to working with the person at the top , had to work through his administrative assistant.

The faculty became so upset with his absence that they sent a delegation to the president of the univerisity to demand a new dean or a fundamental change in his leadership style . the president , who knew what the dean was doing, said. “relax, he has a good administrative assistant. Give him some more time”

Within a short time. The money started pouring in and the faculty began to recognize the vision . it wasn’t long until every time they saw the dean, they would say “get out of here!we don’t want to see you. Go out and bring in more funds. Y our administative assistant runs this office better than anyone else”

This man admitted to me later that the mistake he made was not doing enough team building.enough explaining , enough educating about what he was trying to accomplish. From him , I learn a powerful lesson. We need to constantly be asking ourselves, “what is neede out there, and what is my unique strengt h?”

There is a measurable relation between how much a person learns and his attitude toward the subject to be learned. When faced with a difficult learning task, one path to success is to concentrate on the positive aspects of the subject matter. If a student has a boring teacher, one solution is to look for the positive aspects of completing the course, regardless of how boring the teacher happens to he. T o accomplish this might require a private tutor or some independent reading, but with the right attitude, success is possible.

Over-achievers- students who do better than their test scores show -- usually have apo sitive interest toward learning. They may learn some things more slowly, and they may make their efforts, but, to compensate, they are often better at applying what they have learned. As long as they do not have emotional problems, they are successful.

Under-achievers -- those who function below their ability shown by test scores -- often tend to allow a few negative factors to affect them. Because of their negative attitudes, they sometimes become mffairly critical of teachers. They allow themselves to get bored when it is not necessary.In short, their attitudes often cause them to learn less than over-achievers.

If you learn to replace a negative attitude toward learning with something

more positive, you are on the road to achieving almost any goal you desire. For example, if you realize a personal computer with a word processor would improve your pefformmme, but have an attitude that keeps telling you that a computer is difficult to operate, you tend to make all kinds of excuses. In short,you resist making full use of a terrific tool, simply because your negative attitude prevent you from learning.
