What Is Skimming?
 Skimming is one of the tools you can use to read more in less time.
 Skimming refers to looking only for the general or main ideas, and works best with non-fiction
(or factual) material.
 You hone in on what is important to your purpose.
 Skimming takes place while reading and allows you to look for details in addition to the main
ideas.
 Many people think that skimming is a haphazard process placing the eyes where ever they
fall.
 However, to skim effectively, there has to be a structure but you don’t read everything.

What Is Scanning?
 Scanning is another useful tool for speeding up your reading. Unlike skimming,
when scanning, you look only for a specific fact or piece of information without reading
everything.
 You scan when you look for your favorite show listed in the cable guide, for your friend’s
phone number in a telephone book, and for the sports scores in the newspaper.
 For scanning to be successful, you need to understand how your material is structured as well
as comprehend what you read so you can locate the specific information you need.
 Scanning also allows you to find details and other information in a hurry.

Catching a Cold

Many people catch a cold in the springtime and/ or fall. It makes us wonder... if scientists can send a
man to the moon, why can't they find a cure for the common cold. The answer is easy. There are
literally hundreds of kinds cold viruses out there. You never know which one you will get, so there
isn't a cure for each one.
When a virus attacks your body, your body works hard to get rid of it. Blood rushes to your nose and
brings congestion with it. You feel terrible because you can't breathe well, but your body is actually
"eating" the virus. Your temperature rises and you get a fever, but the heat of your body is killing the
virus. You also have a runny nose to stop the virus from getting to your cells. You may feel
miserable, but actually your wonderful body is doing everything it can to kill the cold.

Different people have different remedies for colds. In the United States and some other countries, for
example, people might eat chicken soup to feel better. Some people take hot baths and drink warm
liquids. Other people take medicines to stop the fever, congestion, and runny nose.
There is one interesting thing to note- some scientists say taking medicines when you have a cold is
actually bad for you. The virus stays in you longer because your body doesn't have a way to fight it
and kill it. Bodies can do an amazing job on their own. There is a joke, however, on taking medicine
when you have a cold. It goes like this:
If takes about 1 week to get over a cold if you don't take medicine, but only 7 days to get over a cold
if you take medicine.
a. True b. False
1. There is a cure for the common cold.
5. Some people eat chicken soup to feel better
a. True b. False when they have a cold.

2. There are 22 different cold viruses in the world. a. True b. False

a. True b. False 6. Scientists always think taking medicine is good

when you have a cold.
3. Heat in your body kills viruses.
a. True b. False
a. True b. False
7. Bodies work hard to try to get rid of viruses.
4. Congestion means your head feels hot.
a. True b. False

IV. Read ( quickly and slowly) the passages and choose the correct answer using
skimming and scanning.

CORONAVIRUS

On December 31, 2019, Chinese oficials announced that 27 people in Wuhan, the capital of Central
China´s Hubei province, had been infected with a new strain of the coronavirus.
Since then, the number of cases of the contagious affliction labeled 2019-nCoV, COVID-19, or
Wuhan virus, have rapidly increased, with new cases being reported daily. On Thursday, January 30,
2020, The World Health Organization (WHO) declared the outbreak a global emergency,
highlighting the urgency for a rapid coordinated international response to curb this global health
risk.

As of January, 2020, 7,711 instances of the infection, including 200 deaths, had been reported in
China. Additionally, about 100 people in 19 countries, including the United States, Germany, France,
South Korea, and Singapore, have also tested positive for the virus. Here is everything you need to
know about the Wuhan virus, which has gripped the world´s attention since the beginning of 2020.

What is a coronavirus?
Coronaviruses are a common cause of colds and other upper respiratory infections in humans and
certain other mammals and birds. The microbes, which get their name from the crown-like (“corona”
in Latin) spikes on their surface, are zoonotic, which means they can easily spread from one animal
to another. Every now and again, an animal coronavirus mutates to infect humans, leading to
contagious respiratory infections that have never been encountered before. This makes it harder
for physicians to diagnose and cure, and results in outbreaks similar to the one the world is currently
undergoing.

very nice too. They never laugh at my bad Spanish. The food is really good. Mexico City is a very interesting place to
visit. It has some great museums and lots of fascinating old buildings. The hotels are too expensive to stay but there are
