例：閱讀下面的段落：
Smell and Memory
Scientists are producing an increasing number of findings on the links between smell and memory. The most prominent scientist in this field is Dr. Alan Hirsch, a US neurologist who specializes in the treatment of patients who have lost their sense of smell or taste. He believes that the memories that certain smells bring back to people are not actually as important as the emotions that are associated with the smells. He also argues that our minds filter these emotions in a positive way, making past times seem better than they perhaps were.
我們注意到這個(gè)段落的題目是“Smell and Memory”，我們還知道題目是中心思想的反映。據(jù)此，我們可以得知本段主要論述的應(yīng)是smell and memory之間的聯(lián)系，由此找到了關(guān)鍵詞語(yǔ)“the links between smell and memory”（在段首），而能說(shuō)明它們之間關(guān)系的句子又是最后一句。所以，這個(gè)段落的核心信息是：“Some smells remind us of a previous thing in a way that is better than the real experience.”由此判定，本段的首尾都需細(xì)心地、稍慢地閱讀，而對(duì)“最的；專門治療何種病人的”這樣相對(duì)次要的句子就可以加快閱讀速度。
