四、注重文章首、末段
对文章首、末段应该认真细读。因为首段常常开宗明义，通过它可预测文章大意，在心理上做好准备；而末段常起归纳总结的作用。中间部分则可快速扫视。
Example：
Social workers are often the first people met by a person in need of human services．Social workers spend part of their day in an office setting or group residence and the rest of it going to people’S homes．
Children welfare workers help children and teens in abusive situations．They investigate and report instances of neglect or abuse and take action if necessary to place children in foster homes．
Medical social workers help patients and their families when diseases such as AIDS or Alzheimer’S cause suffering．They help a patient and his family adjust to the new situation．
School social workers work within school systems to help children who have emotional problems．These students are often put into special education classrooms simply because they can’t control their behaviors．A school social worker works with the family of such a student to try to integrate him or her back into the general school population．
Industrial Ot occupational social workers work within a personnel department of a business to help employees cope with job pressures Ot personal problems that affect the quality of their work．
Gerontology social workers run support groups for the elderly．They also advise the elderly and their family members on the subjects of long-term housing and health care．
A bachelor’S degree，and often a master’S degree，is the minimum requirement for a professional position in social work．However,small agencies may accept some community college courses in psychological or sociology．In such places，you may find a position available as a record keeper or an aide to one of the social workers on the staff．Salaries usually start at$1 8，000．
这是一篇介绍社会工作者的文章。首段对社会工作者下一个简单定义，大致介绍了社工的工作特点和性质。末段提到要想成为一名社工所需的条件。而中间的五个段落则分别介绍不同种类的社工的工作特点。通过首末段可知文章大意，做题前不必在阐述细节的中间部分上浪费太多时间。
五、抓住段落主题句
文章中概括段落中心思想的句子叫段落主题句。快速寻找出各段落主题句有助于在最短的时间内掌握了解文章大意以及各段落的中心思想。
l 段落主题句在段首
段落主题句大多是段落首句。在阅读过程中仔细阅读段落首句常常可推测出段落的中心大意。
