Pertama, cari keywords (yang sering dibahas)  refugees
Kedua, membaca secara skimming (mencari general idea/main point)
Refugees are obviously not a new phenomenon. It has been said that
Adam and Eve share the dubious honor of being the first refugees. In
biblical times, the Hebrews, to escape from slavery under the Pharaohs,
fled from Egypt in one of the first recorded collective migrations.
Throughout history, wars, invasions, and religious and political
persecutions have left a trail of refugees and a concomitant acceptance
of the rights of churches, mosques, and other holy places. The 17th
century Dutch jurist, Hugo Grotius, himself a refugee, declared that
“permanent residence ought not to be denied to foreigners who,
expelled from their homes, are seeking a refuge, provided that they
submit themselves to the established government and observe any
regulations which are necessary to avoid strife.” However, until the
20th century, there were no international agreements covering the right
of asylum. Only in a few instances, appropriate national legislation was
enacted.
 Dari awal hingga akhir bacaan, penulis menampilkan kronologi
waktu dari zaman Adam s/d abad 20 tentang pengungsi. Dari sini
dapat disimpulkan bhw penulis membahas pengungsi dari masa ke
masa. Makanya tek tersebut membahas tentang “refugees over the
ages”
Kunci: E
Paragraph following  paragraph selanjutnya  baca kalimat
terakhir dari parahraf terakhir
“Only in a few instances, appropriate national legislation was enacted.”
Kalimat terakhir dari teks tersebut mulai membahas sedikit tentang
perundang undangan tentang “refugee” (“…national legislation was
enacted”)
Maka paragraph selanjutnya dari teks tersebut membahas tentang
“examples of proper legislation regulating examples.”

Some people function better if they go to sleep early and rise early,
