雅思閱讀考試一定要花時間看題目
不少同學拿到卷子或者翻開書本的時候，就會產生一種分秒必爭的心理，想要馬上投入到閱讀和做題之中去。想要爭取時間、利用時間這是好事，但是有一種更好的方法能夠更佳利用時間，那就是分析題幹。下面是小編給大家帶來的雅思閱讀考試一定要花時間看題目，希望能幫到大家!
我在我的課堂上經常會告訴同學們，一定要多看題幹，在題幹上花的一分鐘，能夠節省5分鐘盲目閱讀的時間。我們來看幾個題目，題幹中隱含了什麼樣的暗示。
劍4-95頁，24-27題的Summary題，其中第25，26題在同一句話中：
The writer describes archeology as both a ___25__ and a ___26___。
從這兩個空的前後，其他的詞語都不用看，單單看到了兩個空白處的前面都有一個冠詞a，就知道這兩個空白處要填的是單數名詞。其中，另一個更好的暗示是，both…and…這樣的句型，這麼一個並列結構必定有相應的並列結構詞出現在原文中，要麼也是both…and…，要麼是and，要麼是as well as，必定如此。
於是去題幹中指定的段落中尋找，就只能找到一處擁有並列結構，並且擁有兩個單數名詞：
Since the aim of archeology is the understanding of humankind, it is a humanistic study, and since it deals with the human past, it is a historical discipline。
所以，要填進去的答案便是這兩個名詞：humanistic study, historical discipline
再來看一下接下來的第27題：
The writer compares their style of working to that of a ___27__。
很多同學分析出這個空白處要填的是一個單數名詞，便停止了繼續分析。但是，其實裏面還有進一步可以挖掘的潛在暗示。請看：
The writer COMPARES their style of working TO that of a XXX. 請留意我用大寫強調的compare … to …，這是一個作比喻的句型，所以比較的雙方應該是完全對等的。這樣一來，句子中可以看到比喻的前者叫做their style of working，“他們的工作方式”，比喻的後者叫做that of a XXX，“XXX的工作方式”(that of 代指的就是style of working)，這麼一來，XXX這個詞就應該和their一樣，是指的一類人。所以直接在題幹所指定的段落中尋找一類人的詞語，能找到的就是句子“the practice of the archeologist is rather like that of a scientist”中的scientist。所以scientist就是這個題的答案。
從上面兩個很小的例子可以看出，如果我們多花1分鐘的時間來分析題幹，得到的暗示會比我們用5分鐘在書頁上掃描要有用很多。所以千萬不要認爲讀題是浪費時間，希望大家都能培養出一個仔細分析題乾的好習慣，達到更高更好的做題速率和精確率。

Family meals 'boost child fruit and vegetable intake'
Eating meals as a family improves children's eating habits - even if it only happens once or twice a week, UK researchers suggest.
Children learn eating habits from family meals, say researchers
It is recommended children eat five portions of fruit and vegetables per day - about 400g.
The Journal of Epidemiology & Community Health study found those who always ate together achieved this - but those who only did sometimes came close.
Watching parents and siblings eat teaches good habits, experts said.
Parental example
This study looked at just under 2,400 children at 52 primary schools in south London.
Parents and fieldworkers compiled food diaries at school and at home, ticking off all the foods and drinks a child had in one 24-hour period.
Parents were also asked questions about their attitudes to fruit and vegetables, such as "On average, how many nights a week does your family eat at a table?" and "Do you cut up fruit and vegetables for your child to eat?"
The study found 656 families said they always ate meals together at a table, 768 sometimes did, while 92 families never did so.
Children in the "always" group ate five portions of fruit and vegetables, compared with 4.6 in the "sometimes" group and 3.3 in the "never".
That equates to the always group eating 125g more fruit and veg, and the sometimes group eating 95g more a day than the never group.
Seeing parents eat fruit and vegetables - and cutting up portions for children both boosted their intake.
'Future habits'
The researchers say that, while this study gives a picture of eating habits on one day, it was able to investigate the diets of a large, diverse population.
Meaghan Christian, who conducted the study as part of her PhD, said: "Modern life often prevents the whole family from sitting round the dinner table, but this research shows that even just Sunday lunch round the table can help improve the diets of our families."
She added: "We spend a lot of time looking at interventions at school. But this is showing how important parents are in terms of fruit and vegetable consumption."
And Prof Janet Cade, of the University of Leeds' school of food science and nutrition, who supervised the study, said: "Watching the way their parents or siblings eat and the different types of food they eat is pivotal in creating children's own food habits and preferences."
She added: "Since dietary habits are established in childhood, the importance of promoting the family meal needs to be more prominent in public health campaigns."
Azmina Govindji, of the British Dietetic Association, said: "Eating habits developed in childhood die hard, and eating at a table with the family instead of in front of the TV helps reduce chances of mindless eating, which can increase the likelihood of obesity.
"This study reinforces the view that children learn more from what we do than what we say, so it's the role modelling that helps shape their future habits."
Ms Govindji, a practising dietitian, added: "If children are eating better in childhood, they are more likely to make healthier choices in adult life - and since food directly impacts risks of conditions like heart disease and type 2 diabetes, eating together as a family seems like a small price to pay."
