Skimming and Scanning 阅读：略读与扫读
基础Skim 是快速看大要；scan 是快速找一个指定资料（时间、人名、价钱）。
- Skim = 看标题＋首尾句捉大要；Scan = 找单一资料（时间、长度、人名）
- Scan 三步：圈问题 keyword → 扫数字／专名 → 找到即停
- 课文数字资料：8.5 km · three to four hours · October to March
文体小知识：Read fast, find fast.
§课文原文 Passage
1The Dragon's Back is one of the most popular hiking trails in Hong Kong, and many tourists say it is the best urban hike in Asia. It is located on Hong Kong Island, between Chai Wan and Big Wave Bay. The trail is about 8.5 kilometres long, and it takes three to four hours to complete. You can start from Shek O Road and follow the signs along the ridge. Thousands of hikers walk the trail every month, especially on Sunday mornings.
2Along the way, you can see the South China Sea, Shek O Beach and the green islands below. The path goes up and down like the back of a dragon, which gives the trail its name. On a clear day, photographers stand at the top for an hour, waiting for the perfect shot. The best time to visit is from October to March when the weather is cool and dry. Summer hikes are dangerous because the sun is strong.
3Before you go, remember to bring enough water, a sun hat and some snacks. Wear comfortable shoes, and check the weather report the night before. The nearest bus stop is at the start of the trail, and the last bus leaves before ten at night. Bring your phone, but keep your eyes on the path. Happy hiking!

3逐步讲解 Steps
- 略读看标题＋每段首句，30 秒捉大要：Dragon's Back 是香港最受欢迎行山径、沿途风景漂亮、出发前要有准备。略读三件套：标题 → 首尾段 → 每段首句——三十秒已经有张地图在脑，之后先决定哪段要细读。
- 寻读先圈问题关键字，再用眼扫数字和专名：How long is the trail? → 扫到 8.5 kilometres、three to four hours，找到即停。寻读有手势：手指沿行快速滑，眼睛只捉数字同大楷——动作带住眼球，速度先会真的快得起。
- 分别Skim 求大意（不逐字读）；Scan 求单一资料（不用看懂整篇）。见 'How long…' 就 scan；见 'What is the passage about' 就 skim.一句记死：skim 读『讲什么』，scan 找『数字地名』——两种速度、两种目的，做练习前先认清题目要求什么。
- 扫读技巧数字、大楷专名最易认：8.5 km、October to March、Shek O Road——眼一扫就跳出来，其他句子跳过。引号、括号、斜体都是扫读磁石：编辑特意突出来的东西，多半与题目有关，扫到就停下来看埋前后那句。
- 跳过不相干Scan 时风景描写不用理：The path goes up and down like the back of a dragon 是解名由来；但 the last bus leaves before ten 可能正是答案。
- 题型对策时间题（When is the best time?）扫月份；数量题（How long?）扫数字；地点题（Where do you start?）扫地名 Shek O Road.题目字眼会转化：问题用 begin，文章用 start——同义转换是 scan 最大的坑。
- 细节陷阱答案可能藏在原因句：Summer hikes are dangerous because the sun is strong——问 why 就要读埋 because 后面。扫到答案句要读埋前后一句：答案句有时只答一半，另一半在邻句——断章取义最易错。

5例题示范 Example
用 scanning 找资料：根据龙脊课文，条路径有多长？要行多久？最对哪几个月去？
- 第一步：先看问题，圈 keyword——length（多长）、how long（多久）、best time（几月去）。
- 第二步：不要逐字读，眼睛向下扫数字和月份。
- 第三步：扫到 8.5 kilometres——即是长度答案。
- 第四步：扫到 three to four hours——即是所需时间答案。
- 第五步：扫到 from October to March——最佳季节答案，核对单位就作答。
- 答案：The Dragon's Back 有 8.5 kilometres 长，要行 three to four hours，最对十月到三月去，因为那时 the weather is cool and dry。Scanning 的重点是不逐字读：先圈问题 keyword，再扫数字和日期，找到答案即刻停，其余风景描写全部跳过。
