Reading: Reading Skills

II.如何阅读记叙文

1.夹叙夹议

阅读此类文体时一定要在通读全文的基础上弄清文章的结构。要把叙述和议论相结合，叙述是基础，议论是关键，叙述是为议论服务的，议论是叙述的升华。阅读时重点放在议论部分，因为该部分表达了作者的观点和看法，是文章的精髓。理解了作者的观点和看法，也就把握了全文的主要内容。

Once when I was facing a decision that involved high risk,I went to a friend.He looked at me for a moment,and then wrote a sentence containing the best advice I have ever had:Be bold and brave--and mighty（强大的）forces will come to your aid.

These words made me see clearly that when I had fallen short in the past,it was seldom because I had tried and failed.It was usually because I had let fear of failure stop me from trying at all.On the other hand,whenever I had plunged into deep water,forced by courage or circumstance,I had always been able to swim until I got my feet on the ground again.

Boldness means a decision to bite off more than you can eat.And there is nothing mysterious about the mighty forces.They are potential powers we possess:energy,skill,sound judgment,creative ideas--even physical strength greater than most of us realize.

Admittedly,those mighty forces are spiritual ones.But they are more important than physical ones.A college classmate of mine,Tim,was an excellent football player,even though he weighed much less than average player. “In one game I suddenly found myself confronting a huge player,who had nothing but me between him and our goal line,"said Tim. “I was so frightened that I closed my eyes and desperately threw myself at that guy like a bullet--and stopped him cold.”

Boldness--a willingness to extend yourself to the extreme--is not one that can be acquired overnight,But it can be taught to children and developed in adults.Confidence builds up.Surely,there will be setbacks（挫折）and disappointments in life.boldness in itself is no guarantee of success.But the person who tries to do something and fails is a lot better off than the person who tries to do nothing and succeeds.

So,always try to live a little bit beyond your abilities--and you will find your abilities are greater than you ever dreamed.

3.What was especially important for Tim's successful defense in the football game

A.His physical strength

B.His basic skill

C.His real fear

D.His spiritual force

4.What can be learned from Paragraph 5?

A.Confidence grows more rapidly in adults

B.trying without success is meaningless

C.Repeated failure creates a better life

D.Boldness can be gained little by little

5.What is the author's purpose in writing his passage
