序言英语阅读能力的培养是大学英语教学的重要任务。对此，《大学英语教学要求（试行）》做出了定性定量的要求。阅读不仅是获取信息的主要手段，也是学习和掌握语言的有效途径。对于广大非英语专业大学生而言，只有通过大量阅读，才能获得充足的语言输入，进而打下扎实的英语基础，形成较强的英语语感，提高英语综合应用能力。
培养英语阅读能力一方面要依赖足够的阅读实践，在阅读中学会阅读；另一方面，能动地运用元认知策略，理性地改进阅读方法，积极地提高英语阅读技能，无疑能对培养较强的阅读能力起到事半功倍的作用。
英语阅读能力包含多种要素，而快速处理阅读材料所输入信息的能力是其中极其重要的微技能，这一点早已为阅读研究者所认识。Grabe（1991）曾经指出：“…a description of reading has to account for the：notions that fluent：reading is rapid，pm~poseful，interactive，comprehending，flexible，and gradually developing.”。Taylor（1975）也强调“reading has to be fast to be successful.”一定的阅读速度获取主要信息所必需的，是保持阅读兴趣、专注于阅读内容所要求的。尤其是在当今这个“信息爆炸”、新知识以几何级增长的时代，快速阅读技能的重要性愈加突出。这样，快速阅读技能的培养也就必然成为大学英语教学的要务。而大学英语教学中要致力于快速阅读教学，就需要有适当的教材作支撑，适用的教材是保证教学活动顺利开展的必要条件。《大学体验英语快速阅读教程））的编写正是为了满足目前国内大学英语教学的这一实际需要。
本教程的编写以《大学英语课程教学要求（试行）》为依据。
本教程共四册，每册含18个单元，可供大学英语教学1～4学期使用（按每学期18周，每周一个单元计）。各册中每单元分Text A和T'ext B（一篇用于课堂，另一篇供课后练习）。每册配有“Introduction to Important ReadingStrategies and SkilIs"。本教程的编写采取“主题与技能”相结合的模式，即单元设置围绕内容主题，练习设计针对阅读技能与文章内容。第一、二册练习包括多项选择与正误判断两种题型，第三、四册练习包括多项选择与简短问答两种题型。书后附有全书练习的参考答案。
受编写时间与编者的经验和水平所限，教程中不当之处在所难免，诚望广大读者不吝指正
文摘插图：
Telecommuting has become a popular work arrangement in many Canadian organizations.It is estimated that over one million Canadians telecommute by working several days a week out of the office.Although about 80 percent of telecommuting is done informally without a wri~en agreement,some companies，such as Nortel Networks and the Ministry of Finance in British Columbia，have formal telecommuting programs.
Nortel began telecommuting in 1 995 with 250 trial steelworkers.Today，1 5 000 of the company’S 80 000 employees telecommute.The goal is to make telecommuters out of all employees in certain types of jobs，such as sales，engineering，and software programming.
The company allows managers and employees to decideif telecommuting will work for a particular situation.Once a worker receives the green light,Nortel supplies the home office with a computer and other related equipment,high-speed Internet access，ergonomic（工效的）furniture，and technical support.Employees also receive guidance and a~end a teIecommuting training program.
For example.a Nortel software engineer working at home would typically receive instructions on a project（perhaps by messenger，computer download，or e-mail），keep in touch with other team members by phone，and send completed work t0 a central computer which maV be in a different city Or even country.
Nortel has also been leading the way in distant staffin&employi、ng people in distant locations who telecommute.In 1 994，the company wanted to hire a vice president for global enterpris.e services，but he refused to leave Philadelphia to go to the Nashville，Tennessee-based service operation.As a result.Nortel reached an agreement that allowed him t0 work from home while managing a staff of approximately 2 000 people.He interacts with his staff using high-speed data links into his house for video-conferencing.
At Nortel，telecommuting is considered a win-win situatio
