雅思阅读课外训练材料应怎么读

雅思阅读训练材料除了一些针对雅思索试的阅读题外，还有一些课外的练习资料，比如英文原著。读原著对于雅思阅读力量提升是有很大的关心的，但是肯定要能坚持下去。

雅思阅读课外训练材料 英文原著应当怎么读?

英文原著对雅思阅读提升有关心吗?一些浅尝辄止的同学可能觉得原著对于阅读力量提升的关心不大，但若是一些度过三五十本英文原著的同学肯定会大力提倡读原著提升阅读力量的方法。所以，显而易见，英文原著是特别不错的雅思阅读训练材料，只是一些同学并没有做深化了解。

雅思阅读课外训练材料之 英文原著概览

雅思课外训练材料有许多，比如英文的报刊，英文原版的杂志，以及一些英文类的其他读物。为什么要给大家推举英文原著呢?一方面是英文原著含有丰富的文化背景学问，可以让大家透过书籍了解西方文化，另一方面是由于英文原著一般会有很强的故事性，相对于报刊杂志之类的读物更好玩味性，也更简单坚持下去。英文原著的种类有许多，大家可以找自己感爱好的类型去读，比如喜爱侦探类的，可以去看福尔摩斯，喜爱爱情类的，可以去看《简爱》，《高傲与偏见》等等，读完原著以后不仅能学到新词汇，学到地道表达，还能了解西方的风土人情，社会习俗等等。

雅思阅读课外训练材料之 原著怎么读

既然原著好处这么多，为什么许多同学坚持不下去呢?其实这主要与大家读原著的方式有关系，有的同学在一开头就选择了很难懂的原著，结果没几天就放弃了，有的同学在读的时候遇到一个生词就查一次词典，结果读的很累也就放弃了……那么，毕竟如何才能坚持读下去呢?

1. 一知半解也要通读

英文原著刚入手开头读的时候可能会觉得一知半解，没有关系，肯定要坚持读下去，读的多了以后理解力自然就上去了。万事开头难，迈出第一步很重要，读原著最难的是完成第一本读物，当你读完了第一本，以后再读起来就会轻松许多，速度也会变快。刚开头的时候要保证阅读的速度，遇到生词不要急着去查，标注一下即可，假如实在影响阅读再去查阅，建议读完一整章内容统一查生词。

2. 精彩篇幅细细研读

假如原著中有一些吸引你的精彩段落可以标注出来认真研读，弄通弄透，甚至可以背登记来。原著的篇幅一般都很长，我们无法精读每一章每一页，但是不做精读对阅读力量提升关心有限，所以可以挑出一些内容特地做精读练习。

3. 词汇和表达如何学习

读原著的过程中，大家会分章节查阅生词，对于常用词，比如动词形容词等等要积累下来，一些地点类的专出名词不必做特别背记，只要做到熟悉即可。上文中提到的精读材料，要学习其中的一些地道表达。词汇和表达是读原著时的附带工作，不要占用太多时间，在确保阅读进度的前提下适当做一些即可。

以上是关于雅思阅读课外训练材料的内容，主要为大家介绍了英文原著作为课外阅读训练材料的用法，假如大家想要提升阅读力量，可以参照文中方法多读英文原著。

Doomed drug highlights complications of meddling with cholesterol.

failure of a high-profile cholesterol drug has thrown a

spotlight on the complicated machinery that regulates cholesterol levels.

But many rearchers remain confident that drugs to boost levels of good

cholesterol are still one of the most promising means to combat spiralling

heart dia.

company Pfizer announced on 2 December that it was

cancelling all clinical trials of torcetrapib, a drug designed to rai

heart-protective high-density lipoproteins (HDLs). In a trial of 15000

patients, a safety board found that more people died or suffered

cardiovascular problems after taking the drug plus a cholesterol-lowering

statin than tho in a control group who took the statin alone.

news came as a kick in the teeth to many cardiologists

becau earlier tests in animals and people suggested it would lower rates

of cardiovascular dia. There have been no red flags to my knowledge,

says John Chapman, a specialist in lipoproteins and atherosclerosis at the

National Institute for Health and Medical Rearch (INSERM) in Paris

who has also studied torcetrapib. This cancellation came as a complete

shock.

rapib is one of the most advanced of a new breed of drugs

designed to rai levels of HDLs, which ferry cholesterol out of

artery-clogging plaques to the liver for removal from the body.

Specifically, torcetrapib blocks a protein called cholesterol ester transfer

protein (CETP), which normally transfers the cholesterol from

high-density lipoproteins to low density, plaque-promoting ones. Statins,

in contrast, mainly work by lowering the bad low-density lipoproteins.

Under pressure

chers are now trying to work out why and how the drug

backfired, something that will not become clear until the clinical details

are relead by Pfizer. One hint lies in evidence from earlier trials that it

slightly rais blood pressure in some patients. It was thought that this

mild problem would be offt by the heart benefits of the drug. But it is

possible that it actually proved fatal in some patients who already

suffered high blood pressure. If blood pressure is the explanation, it

would actually be good news for drug developers becau it suggests that

the problems are specific to this compound. Other prototype drugs that

are being developed to block CETP work in a slightly different way and

might not suffer the same downfall.

it is also possible that the whole idea of blocking CETP is

flawed, says Moti Kashyap, who directs atherosclerosis rearch at the

VA Medical Center in Long Beach, California. When HDLs excrete

cholesterol in the liver, they actually rely on LDLs for part of this process.

So inhibiting CETP, which prevents the transfer of cholesterol from HDL

to LDL, might actually cau an abnormal and irreversible accumulation

of cholesterol in the body. Youre blocking a physiologic mechanism to

eliminate cholesterol and effectively constipating the pathway, says

Kashyap.

Going up

rearchers remain confident that elevating high density

lipoproteins levels by one means or another is one of the best routes for

helping heart dia patients. But HDLs are complex and not entirely

understood. One approved drug, called niacin, is known to both rai

HDL and reduce cardiovascular risk but also caus an unpleasant

nsation of heat and tingling. Rearchers are exploring whether they

can bypass this side effect and whether niacin can lower dia risk more

than statins alone. Scientists are also working on veral other means to

bump up high-density lipoproteins by, for example, introducing synthetic

HDLs. The only thing we know is dead in the water is torcetrapib, not the

whole idea of raising HDL, says Michael Miller, director of preventive

cardiology at the University of Maryland Medical Center, Baltimore.

From The Economist print edition

How shops can exploit people’s herd mentality to increa sales

1. A TRIP to the supermarket may not em like an exerci in

psychological warfare—but it is. Shopkeepers know that filling a store

with the aroma of freshly baked bread makes people feel hungry and

persuades them to buy more food than they had intended. Stocking the

most expensive products at eye level makes them ll faster than cheaper

but less visible competitors. Now rearchers are investigating how

“swarm intelligence” (that is， how ants， bees or any social animal，

including humans， behave in a crowd) can be ud to influence what

people buy.

2. At a recent conference on the simulation of adaptive behaviour in

Rome， Zeeshan-ul-hassan Usmani， a computer scientist from the

Florida Institute of Technology， described a new way to increa

impul buying using this phenomenon. Supermarkets already encourage

shoppers to buy things they did not reali they wanted： for instance，

by placing everyday items such as milk and eggs at the back of the store，

forcing shoppers to walk past other tempting goods to reach them. Mr

Usmani and Ronaldo Menezes， also of the Florida Institute of

Technology， t out to enhance this tendency to buy more by playing on

the herd instinct. The idea is that， if a certain product is en to be

popular， shoppers are likely to choo it too. The challenge is to keep

customers informed about what others are buying.

3. Enter smart-cart technology. In Mr Usmani’s supermarket every

product has a radio frequency identification tag， a sort of barcode that

us radio waves to transmit information， and every trolley has a scanner

that reads this information and relays it to a central computer. As a

customer walks past a shelf of goods， a screen on the shelf tells him how

many people currently in the shop have chon that particular product. If

第 5 页/共 8

the number is high， he is more likely to lect it too.

4. Mr Usmani’s “swarm-moves” model appeals to supermarkets

becau it increas sales without the need to give people discounts. And

it gives shoppers the satisfaction of knowing that they bought the “right”

product—that is， the one everyone el bought. The model has not yet

been tested widely in the real world， mainly becau radio frequency

identification technology is new and has only been installed

experimentally in some supermarkets. But Mr Usmani says that both

Wal-Mart in America and Tesco in Britain are interested in his work， and

testing will get under way in the spring.

5. Another recent study on the power of social influence indicates

that sales could， indeed， be boosted in this way. Matthew Salganik of

Columbia University in New York and his colleagues have described

creating an artificial music market in which some 14，000 people

downloaded previously unknown songs. The rearchers found that when

people could e the songs ranked by how many times they had been

downloaded， they followed the crowd. When the songs were not ordered

by rank， but the number of times they had been downloaded was

displayed， the effect of social influence was still there but was less

pronounced. People thus follow the herd when it is easy for them to do so.

6. In Japan a chain of convenience shops called RanKing RanQueen

has been ordering its products according to sales data from department

stores and rearch companies. The shops ll only the most popular

items in each product category， and the rankings are updated weekly.

Icosystem， a company in Cambridge， Massachutts， also aims to

exploit knowledge of social networking to improve sales.

7. And the psychology that works in physical stores is just as potent

on the internet. Online retailers such as Amazon are adept at telling

shoppers which products are popular with like-minded consumers. Even

in the privacy of your home， you can still be part of the swarm.
