Reading Comprehension (Passage A) (Work sheet) Dec.2, 2014 1. Choose the best answer.（根据短文内容，选择最恰当的答案。) In classes, your teachers will talk about topics that you are studying. The information they provide will be important in your tests. You must take good written notes from what your teachers say. Here are the three stages of notetaking and what you should do during each stage. Get Ready to Take Notes (Before Class) Review your notes from the previous(前) class before you come to class. This will help you remember what you have learned before and get you ready to understand new information. Complete the assigned (布置的) material before class. Your teacher will expect you to have done this for further understanding. Bring your pens and pencils as well as your notebook. Take Notes (During Class) Focus on what your teacher is saying. Listen for signal statements such as The most important point... and Remember that.... Be sure to write down what your teacher repeats or writes on the blackboard. Write quickly so that you can include all the important information in your notes. Do this by writing abbreviated words such as med for medicine, using symbols such as % for percent, and writing short sentences. Place a ? next to information you write in your notes but about whose meaning you are not sure. Rewrite Your Notes (After Class) Rewrite your notes to make them more complete by changing abbreviated words into whole words, symbols into words, and shortened sentences into longer sentences. Make your notes more accurate by using your textbook and reference sources. If necessary, ask your teacher or other students for help. Check with other students to be sure you did not leave out important information. 1. Review your notes from the previous class so that you can .
