Reading is a good habit, but the problem is, there's too much to read these days, and too little time to read every word of it. There are hundreds of skills to help you read more in less time. Here are two skills that I think are especially good.
Preview—if it's long and hard. Previewing is especially useful for getting a general idea of heavy reading like long magazine articles and business reports.
Here's how to preview.
Read the first two paragraphs and the last two paragraphs carefully.
Then read only the first sentence of the other paragraphs.
Previewing doesn't give you all the details. It keeps you from spending time on things you don't really want--or need--to read.
Skim—if it's short and simple. Skimming is a good way to get a general idea of light reading like popular magazines or the sports and entertainment of your daily paper.
Here's how to skim.
Get your eyes to move fast. Sweep them across each line.
Pick up only a few key words in each line.
Everybody skims differently. You and I may not pick up the same words when we skim the same piece, but we'll get a similar idea of what it's all about.

Here is some cool information about the world's population.
| It took 12 years for the world's population to grow from 7 billion to 2022's 8 billion. But it will take about 15 years for the population to reach 9 billion. That's because fewer babies are born now. In 50 years, this can slow the growth of the world's population. |
The day on which the world's population grows by one billion is important. The United Nations chooses a baby born on that day as the symbolic (象征的) baby. For example, the world's population reached 8 billion on November 15, 2022. Vinice Mabansag was born on that day and she became the symbolic 8 billionth baby. | |
More boys than girls are born around the world. There are 106 baby boys born for every 100 baby girls. There are 1.8 billion people between the ages of 10 and 24. That's the largest number ever. |

Since humans started sending spaceships to space, we've left space junk(太空垃圾) behind. Space junk is the name for any machine or pieces of spaceship left in space by humans.

This {#blank#}6{#/blank#} very terrible. To solve this problem, some companies have thought of new {#blank#}7{#/blank#} for many years. One idea is to take away space junk from space and bring it back to the earth. And then, the junk will burn up(燃烧) in the air. {#blank#}8{#/blank#} this way, we can make sure there is less junk in space in the future.
However, it is very hard {#blank#}9{#/blank#} the secrets to make it come true. At first, it needs high technology(科技). Also, many countries can't afford it. Someone thinks it is {#blank#}10{#/blank#} for scientists to solve the problem because it is really difficult. But we believe in them and look forward to the day when this problem is solved.
