Unit 6 Higher Education
Main contents:
本課主要介紹了有關高等教育的情況，并重點介紹了如何提高自己的閱讀技巧，如何能夠更快，更好，更容易的進行閱讀。學完本課后，我們應該理解課文所講的一天可以讀四本書的閱讀方法，并把這一方法應用到日常的學習中去。另外還應該能用英語就學校，課程及考試方面的信息和看法進行交流，熟練地以與外國人交流對教育的看法。
本課的課文介紹了一場學習革命。作者認為只要學會了正確的讀書方法，每個人每天都可以讀完四本書，并掌握其中的要點，這是一種全新的讀書理念。它的核心方法就是找到讀書的竅門，用略讀的方法找到需要找到的信息，然后再做上標記進行精讀。
