大学英语6级阅读技巧

“取阅读者,取天下”对于大学英语6级来说,同样也是适用的,想要提高阅读靠的不仅是做题量,还应该有方法和技巧。

(四级词汇是基础,然后扩大大学英语6级词汇。通过词缀记单词,通过做真题,扩充词汇量)四六级是相通的,难度比四级大一些,要求掌握的词汇量多一些)

阅读理解:题型跟四级一样,只是难度加大了,篇章长了一点,里面用词、结构、语句稍微难了一点。阅读只要掌握了最最核心的方法,那么从初级-中级-高级-考研-考博,所有的阅读方法基本上都是一样的,所以方法是第一位的)

那么,我现在教大家两个目的

How to read effectively and efficiently(有效的、高效率的,也就是说又准又快)在考试中,阅读40分要在35分钟内完成,怎么样又准又快,这是决定大家胜败的关键板块

(大学英语6级不可怕,只要你细心扎实的掌握一些方法和技巧)

战略(strategy):global reading(全局阅读,非逐字逐句,整体大意掌握)(方法:skimming 快速的略读,读什么呢,读开头的一两句话,每一段的首尾句,全文每段的首尾句,开头首尾段不长的话,把首尾段读一读/不是每句话都读,就是跳着读/skimming: get the general idea of the passage 就是要去获得全文的大意,抓出这篇文章的topic,也就是看话题是什么,在之后做出选择的时候,主题会给你很大的方向)+context(上下文、语篇,在此基础上理解一个单词、一个句子的意思,那么这样的容易考语义题,所以要注意上下文)+ details(scanning)(在global reading 的基础上,注意了context/details,就能把五道题全部做好)

Details 大家都知道是细节,要做好后面两个,大家要注意scanning,就叫扫读或查读,那么查找什么呢,查找题目当中考查的信息点,那么这两个方法结合起来,你就成功了。通过skimming掌握全文大意/scanning找到某个题的信息源,两个方法结合起来就是你的战略。

大学英语6级那么采取的具体手段是什么呢?

战术(tactic):---3 steps 很多板块的题目都是分三步尤其是篇章题

1、快速浏览阶段topic sentences抓出来(1st/last)尤其是第一句话一般文章第一段第一句有可能是全文的topic 每一段的第一句话可能是段落主题句

+key words抓出来关键词都有哪些呢?就是主题句当中的主谓宾,尤其是谓语动词和表语形容词,给你提供信息的实义词是最最重要的;

另外就是这篇文章频频出现的实义词,肯定是这篇文章的话题

+structure还要注意文章的篇章结构,快速做完一篇阅读以后,最后summarize一下,这篇文章到底讲了一个什么事,是怎么展开的。有可能一篇文章开始就提出了一个现象,然后是对这个现象的一个评论,最后可能是提出自己的建议和观点等等,那么这就是一个篇章的结构;也有可能是开始提出问题,然后分析问题,最后总结,提出自己的观点。这一部分花两分钟来看,不要觉得是多余的。

2、clue(key words, special words/signs)审题阶段,这一阶段最重要的一个词就是clue,就是线索,什么是线索呢?就是一些key words…..。

另外就是一些特殊的单词,比如说有的首字母大写,专有名词:人名、地名、机构等等。还有就是全是大写字母的缩略语。像这样一些东西是一些特殊的字眼,便于大家去寻找这道题

的所在,就能很快定位一道题的来源。

或者有一些特殊的符号,比如引号、括号、扩折号等等,他们的作用基本上是用来

补充或解释前文的,这也便于定位题目的来源。这是第二步clue,其实多数题目可以在题干之中就可以查找到线索,比如数字、时间等等,

那有些题目,比如会问:what’s the main idea of this passage?/what can we infer from this passage 这种题呢,要么根据对主旨大意的把握,要么根据四个不同的选项来判断,这种题是在题干中找不到线索的,我们在后面会仔细给大家讲应该怎么做。

3、matching(synonyms, summary, relevance—key words, explanation)进行匹配,匹配什么呢?就是要每个选项跟原文的意思匹配起来,能匹配的就是正确答案,有几大原则进行匹配:近义词,同义原则,同义替换;对跟主题有关的词进行一个概括,尤其在主旨题和推断题里面,用summary出的题比较多。相关性,跟什么相关呢,跟主题相关,话题相关,至少跟段落主题相关,这就是relevance。关键词、解释说明,换一个说法

下面是为了大家更方便的掌握,给了大家一个顺口溜,因为记汉语比记英语容易一些。就是下面这几句话就可以让大家把解题的步骤和原则记住了

口诀

浏览标记抓大意(首先我们浏览,然后标记号,比如刚说的special words/signs,那么我们标记的目的是什么呢,是抓大意)

定位题干信息词(clue)时间、地点, 人物(信号词),利用信息词定位信息源

题型结构查原句如果一道题问原因很可能在开头、问结论,很可能在结尾/题型:一看就可以知道主旨、大意、观点、态度、词义、细节,

同义核心括主题

避免“极端犯错无”

极端字眼、宽泛陈述、

错误匹配、无关信息

大学英语6级解题步骤

第一步快速浏览文章,把握文章的结构和主题

除了找主题这一主要任务,还可以顺便找一些有用的信号词,如人名、地名、国家、机构等专有名词、时间、数字、关键词、特殊印刷体等,以提高解题的速度。

注意:1、列举结构(事实)

2、比较结构(语法)

3、转折关系(观点)

4、因果关系(结论)

5、特殊句型:倒装、强调、虚拟等。

第二步仔细审题

确定题目中的信息(实义词)/信号词(专有名词、时间、数字等不可变之词),结合文章结构,快速查找到原文中每题的信息源。

第三步仔细阅读上下文

根据主题句、核心词(高频词)、同义替换、一定高度的概括性等原则确定正确答案。

希望通过以上的方法,可以让同学们提高大学英语6级的阅读,掌握决胜技巧。

强人总结的英语六级技巧(免费)

作文 作文的的原则是无错,一篇文章,如果你出现了3处严重语法错误,那么你就不能得到一个高于8分的分数。 另外,从句不会给你加分,你要做的是写出有变化的句子。 行文有两种格式,一种是缩进式,另一种是齐头式。吴泽阳老师建议大家使用齐头式,段与段之间空一行,好让老师看清楚你有几段。特别注意,作文一定不能少于等于两端。 对于以前只能考400分以下的同学,背万能句是必须的。有一句句子非常之牛逼:to be or not to be? that's a question.(by W. William Shakespeare 1564~1616)。要知道,作文中数字和人名最能引起人的注意,你甚至可以把人名写的大一点。 作文种类分为以下几种,图表,名人名言,正反观点,现象。相应的例文网上有很多,把相关的万能句背一下。 一般作文的顺序是:审题,确定每段写什么——决定套用模板——列换词表——行文——复查。比如说一篇说难找工作的文章,换词表就是students,young man,graduate之类意思略微不同但能作互相指代的词。复查主要是复查时态和单复数,80%的语病都是这类问题。 行文的技巧主要是句式的变换。一共有五种方法:加法句,减法句,副词法,被动法,换而言之。加法句就是逗号和and,减法句就是but,使用被动法是因为更符合傻老外的习惯,换而言之就是in other words,然后再把刚才的话说一遍,当然,要稍作变化。副词法就是Obviously之类。 最后特别注意,当你论述的时候,一定要使用逻辑词。firstly,secondly……英语文章,没有逻辑词就没有逻辑。 阅读 阅读肯定不用看文章。 快速阅读的顺序是:看题干,划出名词,回原文定位找答案。深度阅读也是一样。划名词是因为,动词和副词的同义词很多,完全可以替换,但是名词相对而言比较单一,不会有太多的变化。如果名词被替换,放心,没多少人能找到。回原文定位的时候要注意,最高级和极端词对应,时间地点状语对应。我就不一一举例了,自己联系几篇阅读就会抓准这个规律。当时我也只是用了一节课的时间久掌握了阅读。我阅读是215分,得分率86%。 相对而言,深度阅读还有另一个潜规则,就是深度阅读的题目,除了“作者想什么”“文章标题是啥”这类的题目以外,其它的题目串起来,就是一篇文章的主旨,由此推之,如果文章超过4段,那么在一段中出两个题目的可能性很小,这样我们就可以以此为依据做题。如果你选择了一个和主旨不相干的答案,那么你肯定错了。 奉劝各位一定要牢牢抓住阅读的分数,因为每个题都有近2%的分值。最主要的是,你

大学英语六级选词填空应试技巧

大学英语四级阅读:选词填空技巧汇总 选词填空的考察形式 一篇280词左右的文章,文章中挖出10个空,并统一给出A-O 15个备选答案。选词填空区别于完形填空,有更大的解题难度,原因在于: 1. 完形填空每题都是四选一,选词填空第一题要十五选一,就算用到排除法,最后一题也要六选一,而且在十五个选项中还有五个根本不会用到,难度加大; 2. 完形填空每题的四个选项都是统一的词性,只需要辨析词义、搭配就基本可以作答,而选词填空的十五个选项有多个词性,解题时需要同时判断词性和词义,难度加大; 3. 完形填空每题的四个选项往往都是统一时态,统一形式,而在选词填空中会涉及选项的动词时态、第三人称单数形式、被动主动语态,名词的单复数等的辨析,难度加大。 针对选词填空的解题方法分为三步 1. 预览选项,了解词义并把选项分为四大类词性:名词n,动词v,形容词a,副词ad,在每个选项后作词性的简要标记; 2. 精读全文开头,把握文章主题,并以三个空或一个段落为一个单位,利用前后文判 断每空的词性; 3. 把对应词性的选项逐一带回原文,含义通顺,时态、主谓搭配一致的为正确选项。 四级考试的常用后缀在判断选项词性时可以有一定帮助作用。在根据前后文判断每空的词性时,一些经常考察的形式如下: 名词:通常来说,冠词(如a,an,the)、形容词、介词后面搭配名词,即"a/an/the/adj./prep. + n。", 举例说明:Education soon became a _____. 冠词a后面加可数名词的单数形式,正确答案是nightmare,这句话的意思是"教育很快成了一种噩梦。" As the trade winds lessen in _____, the ocean temperatures rise causing the Peru current flowing in from the east to warm up by as much as 5 degrees. (06-6) 介词in后面加名词,正确答案是strength,这句话的意思是"当信风强度减弱的时候,海洋温度上升,导致从东部流入的秘鲁洋流上升了5摄氏度之多。"较难的一个例子:Husbands and children now do some of these jobs, a ____ that has changed the target market for many products. (06-12) 这里可以用两种判断方法来判断横线处所填词的词性。第一种方法,用句子结构来判断,前面一句话,husbands and children now do some of these jobs,这是一个完整的句子,主语husbands and children,谓语动词do,宾语some of these jobs;后面的that 引导的是一个同位语从句,它所修饰的中心词就是a后面需要填的词,而定语从句的中心词是名词,所以横线处应填一个名词。第二种方法,根据刚才所说的"a + 名词"的语法规则来判断,横线处应该填一个名词,而且是一个可数名词的单数形式。正确答案是situation。这句话的意思是"丈夫和孩子现在也做一些这样的工作了,这种情况就改变了许多产品的目标市场。" 动词:动词的考点很多,我们来看其中三种: 1. 主语后缺谓语动词。举例说明:He ____ from his teachers, came home in tears and thought about dropping out. 在这句话里,主语是he,本来后面应该有一个动词作谓语,但是这里没有动词,而是在横线后面出现了一个介词短语from his teachers,这样这句话就缺少谓语动词,所以横线上应该填一个动词。正确答案是hid,这句话的意思是"他不愿见老师,

We say we want only the best, but we strangely enjoy junk food. We’re 2 with health and weight loss but face an unprecedented epidemic of obesity(肥胖). Perhaps the 3 to this ambivalence(矛盾情结) lies in our history. The first Europeans came to this continent searching for new spices but went in vain. The first cash crop(经济作物) wasn’t eaten but smoked. Then there was Prohibition, intended to prohibit drinking but actually encouraging more 4 ways of doing it. The immigrant experience, too, has been one of inharmony. Do as Romans do means eating what “real Americans” eat, but our nation’s food has come to be 5 by imports—pizza, say, or hot dogs. And some of the country’s most treasured cooking comes from people who arrived here in shackles. Perhaps it should come as no surprise then that food has been a medium for the nation’s defining struggles, whether at the Boston Tea Party or the sit ins at southern lunch counters. It is integral to our concepts of health and even morality whether one refrains from alcohol for religious reasons or evades meat for political 6 . But strong opinions have not brought 7 . Americans are ambivalent about what they put in their mouths. We have become 8 of our foods, especially as we learn more about what they contain.

六级英语阅读理解提高技巧分享

六级英语阅读理解提高技巧分享六级英语阅读理解提高技巧分享 (一)SectionA选词填空题 1、阅读过程中讯速浏览全文,了解文章主题; 2、阅读15个选项,将单词分为名词、动词、形容词、副词四种类型(按最原始的意思分,一般形容词和副词较多); 3、根据语法特征确定所填词性; 4、根据上下文逻辑确定所填词义。 (二)SectionB信息匹配题 1、阅读文后十道题,标记关键词; 2、含最优关键词(数词、时间、专有名词)的题先行匹配; 3、剩余题进行匹配,注意有时两题会对应同一段。 最理想的情况是:我们依靠所划的关键词迅速定位到信息所在的段落,从而得到答案。这就要求我们所划的关键词是独一无二的,它只出现在原文的某一个段落。那么什么样的词才有这个特点呢? 关键词通常分为两类:第一类是表时间、数字及首字母大写的人名地名等专有名词;第二类是比较长,比较复杂的名词;这里切记,不能用表达中心思想的主题词去定位,因为文章通篇讲的都是它。 由于问题顺序和文章行文顺序一致,所以先做第一小题,然后做第二小题,看一道,做一道。千万不要把文章全部看完后再做题,或者全部题目看完后再读文章。

在将题目和文章比对的同时,要善于学会精读重点信息。比如,文中举例处,引语及多个名词并列而不是完整句子的内容,均可略读。 此外,要多关注文中的逻辑关系词,对于这些词的把握,有助于我们精确把握重要信息。通常要注意下面三种逻辑关系: (1)并列、递进关系:and,or,besides,furthermore, what’smore,then,inaddition,moreover,inotherwords; (2)因果关系:asaresultof,onaccountof,asaresult,thanksto,therefore,hence,consequently,because,for,dueto,owingto; (3)转折关系:whereas,however,but,nevertheless,yet,infact; 最后,要学会运用特殊的标点符号,比如冒号,破折号,小括号。这些标点符号的出现就是对前面的内容作进一步的说明。所以,在 阅读文章时,可以跳读这些标点符号后面的信息,从而帮助我们节 省更多宝贵的时间并且更加快速地把握文章的主旨。 (二)SectionC仔细阅读题 1、利用文章主题或全文核心词提示答案; 2、利用定位句上下文重复描述的内容确定答案; 因为在仔细阅读题中主旨题与态度题经常会涉及到而且占了很大比重,所以现在重点介绍一下主旨题和态度题。 主旨题:阅读首末段以及各段首句,尤其注意首末段的转折句; 综合全文的核心名词词组,这种词也常在各段首句出现;第三种:阅 读五道题的题干,综合共同的名词词组。错误答案一般设计为文中 的细节,若仅仅是某一段的主题。正确答案一般具有模糊化、概括 化的特点,往往是最短的或者第二短的那个选项。 态度题:题中含有opinion,view,attitude或 consider,deem,thinkof等词;

2015大学英语六级阅读模拟试题及答案

大学英语六级阅读模拟试题及答案 第一篇 A scientific panel convened by the World Health Organization recommended guidelines on Friday for doctors conducting clinical studies of SARS patients. The panel urged doctors to apply the guidelines in analyzing the masses of potentially useful information about various therapies that were collected in this year’s epidemic. Much of that information has not been published or analyzed. “It is a matter of urgency to get better analysis and review,” said Dr. Simon Mardel, a WHO official who led the two-day meeting that ended on Friday. He said thousands of potential therapies and compounds had been tested so far as researchers try to determine treatments for SARS, or severe acute respiratory syndrome. “We recognize that having no treatment for SARS is hindering our ability to control an epidemic in so many ways.” He said. In the epidemic earlier this year, various treatments, like drugs to fight the virus or strengthen the immune system, as well as traditional Chinese medicine, were delivered under emergency conditions, in widely different settings and countries to patients suffering from varying stages of the illness. Those conditions—generally without standardized measurements or controlled situations—have made it hard to interpret results. Standard supportive therapy like nursing, and in severe cases the use of mechanical respirators(呼吸器)to help patients breathe, is the mainstay(主要支持)of SARS care, and helped many patients survive. But doctors still do not know how best to treat SARS patients who have breathing difficulties. Dr. Mardel said. One method is invasive ventilation. A second method involves blowing oxygen into the lungs through a mask. Both carry the risk of transmitting the virus to hospital employees. Without proper analysis, the panel was unable to say definitively which treatment worked best, or which caused the most harm. “There is a lack of shared information,” Dr. Mardel said, noting that a lot of data have not been published. The panel also agreed on guidelines that would allow doctors to conduct quick and safe clinical trials, a process that generally takes years to complete. The world Health Organization, a United Nations agency did not release the guidelines. Dr. Mardel said they were flexible because no one knew where, when and in what setting SARS would return. Experts in many countries have already listed the treatments they want to test, and the health agency is leaving these decisions to individual nations. 1. Guidelines recommended by the scientific panel can be used for _____. A. gathering potentially useful information about various therapies collected B. conducting clinical studies of SARS patients C. determining treatment for SARS D. publishing all the information about SARS

2014年12月大学英语四级考试备考资料《阅读理解》答题技巧

2014年12月大学英语六级考试备考资料《阅读理解》答题技巧 需要指出的是,在一篇文章的阅读过程中,我们要根据不同的要求采用不同的阅读方法。总的来说,在正式考试中,阅读理解部分可参照下列步骤进行。首先用“快读”的方法浏览全文,以了解中心思想及大意。在此基础上,可根据要回答的问题,用“查读”的方法,或(查到文章中与答题内容有关的范围后)用“细读”的方法,来确定答案。回答问题时,可在文章中划出关键词句,以此作为答题的依据。全部问题答完之后,如时间允许,可再快读一遍全文,核实一下所确定的答题的答案是否符合全文的精神。 1. 快读(Skimming) 快读的目的是用浏览全文的方法了解文章的大意和主题思想,并对文章的结构有个总的概念。顾名思义,快读时,速度要快。一般地说,250字左右的短文要求在二、三分钟内看完。快读时精力必须十分集中,不必去记忆细节;遇到个别生词及难懂的词句,均应略过,以求对全文总体意思的了解。为了更好地抓住全文的中心思想,在快读时要留心文章中某些反复出现的词语,这些往往与文章的主题有关。快读时,还应特别注意文章的开始段和结束段以及文章中每一段的段首句和结尾句,因为它们往往是对文章内容最好的概括。 2. 查读(Scanning) 查读的目的主要是为了寻找文章中某些特定的信息。在查读时,目光要自上而下、一目数行地寻视与答题内容相关的词句,与此无关的内容要很快掠过。当回答有关who, when, where等文章细节问题的时候,用此方法我们一般都可很快找到答案,可以说“一查即得”。但是有些与文章细节有关的问题如:why, how等难以找到现成的回答,这时首先需要通过查读,找到文中与答题内容相关的范围,然后再用下面要讨论的“细读”方法,方可得出准确的答案。 3. 细读(Reading for full understanding) 找到文章中的有关范围以后,即在此范围内逐句阅读,特别对关键词、句要仔细琢磨,以便对其有较深刻、较准确的理解和掌握。不仅要理解其字面意思而且要通过推理和判断,弄清文章中“字里行间”所隐含的意思。在细读中,对没有学过的生词,可根

大学英语六级阅读理解及答案

Reading Comprehension for CET 6 Passage 1 In the 1962 movie Lawrence of Arabia,one scene shows an American newspaper reporter eagerly snapping photos of men looting a sabotaged train.One of the looters,Chief Auda abu Tayi of the Howeitat clan,suddenly notices the camera and snatches it.Am I in this?he asks,before smashing it open.To the dismayed reporter,Lawrence explains,He thinks these things will steal his virtue.He thinks you're a kind of thief. As soon as colonizers and explorers began taking cameras into distant lands,stories began circulating about how indigenous peoples saw them as tools for black magic.The ignorant natives may have had a point.When photography first became available,scientists welcomed it as a more objective way of recording faraway societies than early travelers' exaggerated accounts.But in some ways,anthropological photographs reveal more about the culture that holds the camera than the one that stares back.Up into the 1950s and 1960s,many ethnographers sought pure pictures of primitive cultures,routinely deleting modern accoutrements such as clocks and Western dress.They paid men and women to re-enact rituals or to pose as members of war or hunting parties,often with little regard for veracity.Edward Curtis,the legendary photographer of North American Indians,for example,got one Makah man to pose as a whaler with a spear in 1915--even though the Makah had not hunted whales in a generation. These photographs reinforced widely accepted stereotypes that indigenous cultures were isolated,primitive,and unchanging.For instance,National Geographic magazine's photographs have taught millions of Americans about other cultures.As Catherine Lutz and Jane Collins point out in their 1993 book Reading National Geographic,the magazine since its founding in 1888 has kept a tradition of presenting beautiful photos that don't challenge white,middle-class American conventions.While dark-skinned women can be shown without tops,for example,white women's breasts are taboo.Photos that could unsettle or disturb,such as areas of the world torn asunder by war or famine,are discarded in favor of those that reassure,to conform with the society's stated pledge to present only kindly visions of foreign societies.The result,Lutz and Collins say,is the depiction of an idealized and exotic world relatively free of pain or class conflict. Lutz actually likes National Geographic a lot.She read the magazine as a child,and its lush imagery influenced her eventual choice of anthropology as a career.She just thinks that as people look at the photographs of other cultures,they should be alert to the choice of composition and images. 1.The main idea of the passage is______________. [A]Photographs taken by Western explorers reflect more Westerners’ perception of the indigenous cultures and the Western values. [B]There is a complicated relationship between the Western explorers and the primitive peoples. [C]Popular magazines such as National Geographic should show pictures of the exotic and idealized worlds to maintain high sales. [D]Anthropologists ask the natives to pose for their pictures,compromising the truthfulness of their pictures. 2.We can infer from the passage that early travelers to the native lands often_________. [A]took pictures with the natives [B]gave exaggerated accounts of the native lands

大学英语六级阅读理解练习及答案 导读:我根据大家的需要整理了一份关于《大学英语六级阅读理解练习及答案》的内容,具体内容:下面是我给大家整理的,希望对大家有帮助。Laziness is a sin(罪), everyone knows that. We have probably all had ... 下面是我给大家整理的,希望对大家有帮助。 Laziness is a sin(罪), everyone knows that. We have probably all had lectures pointing out that laziness is immoral, that it is wasteful, and that lazy people will never amount to anything in life. But laziness can be more harmful than that, and it is often caused by more complex reasons rather than simple wish to avoid work. Some people who appear to be lazy are suffering from much more serious problems. They may be so distrustful of their fellow workers that they are unable to join in any group task for fear of ridicule or of having their idea stolen. These people who seem lazy may be ruined by a fear of failure that prevents fruitful work. Or other sorts of fantasies (幻想) may prevent work; some people are so busy planning, sometimes planning great deals of fantastic achievements that they are unable to deal with whatever "lesser" work is on hand. Still other people are not avoiding work; strictly speaking, they are merely procrastinating rescheduling their day.

2011年6月大学英语六级真题及答案 Part IV Reading Comprehension (Reading in Depth) (25 minutes) Section A Directions: In this section, there is a short passage with 5 questions or incomplete statements. Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words. Please write your answers on Answer Sheet 2. Questions 47 to 51 are based on the following passage. How good are you at saying "no"? For many, it's surprisingly difficult. This is especially true of editors, who by nature tend to be eager and engaged participants in everything they do. Consider these scenarios: It's late in the day. That front-page package you've been working on is nearly complete; one last edit and it's finished. Enter the executive editor, who makes a suggestion requiring a more-than-modest rearrangement of the design and the addition of an information box. You want to scream: "No! It's done!" What do you do? The first rule of saying no to the boss is don't say no. She probably has something in mind when she makes suggestions, and it's up to you to find out what. The second rule is don't raise the stakes by challenging her authority. That issue is already decided. The third rule is to be ready to cite options and consequences. The boss's suggestions might be appropriate, but there are always consequences. She might not know about the pages backing up that need attention, or about the designer who had to go home sick. Tell her she can have what she wants, but explain the consequences. Understand what she's trying to accomplish and propose a Plan B that will make it happen without destroying what you've done so far. Here's another case. Your least-favorite reporter suggests a dumb story idea. This one should be easy, but it's not. If you say no, even politely, you risk inhibiting further ideas, not just from that reporter, but from others who heard that you turned down the idea. This scenario is common in newsrooms that lack a systematic way to filter story suggestions. Two steps are necessary. First, you need a system for how stories are proposed and reviewed. Reporters can tolerate rejection of their ideas if they believe they were given a fair hearing. Your gut reaction (本能反应) and dismissive rejection, even of a worthless idea, might not qualify as systematic or fair. Second, the people you work with need to negotiate a "What if ...?" agreement covering "What if my idea is turned down?" How are people expected to react? Is there an appeal process? Can they refine the idea and resubmit it? By anticipating "What if...?" situations before they happen, you can reach understanding that will help ease you out of confrontations. 47. Instead of directly saying no to your boss, you should find out __________. 48. The author's second warning is that we should avoid running a greater risk by __________. 49. One way of responding to your boss's suggestion is to explain the __________ to her and offer an alternative solution. 50. To ensure fairness to reporters, it is important to set up a system for stories to __________. 51. People who learn to anticipate "What if...?" situations will be able to reach understanding and avoid __________. Section B Directions:There are 2 passages in this section.
