What skills and qualities do you think a good secretary should possess? What duties may business secretaries perform in a company? Have you ever thought of becoming a business secretary after graduation? The learning of the three texts in this unit will help you find satisfactory answers to the questions above. In addition to some knowledge about a secretary, this unit also tells you how to use scanning to search for needed information.大连理工大学出版社Reading Skill FocusWords and ExpressionsPractical ReadingComprehensive Reading大连理工大学出版社Scanning (1)Scanning is a fast reading technique. It’s a way of reading to look for specific information in a text.Scanning can be used to look up a phone number, read through the small ads in a newspaper, or browse TV schedules, timetables, lists, catalogues or web pages for information. For these tasks you don’t need to read or understand every word.Reading Skill Focus大连理工大学出版社In scanning, we search for needed information and neglect the irrelevant information. For example, in preparation for a research paper we may have to consult a number of reference books in order to find particular names, dates, figures, definitions or facts. In the course of reading, we usually run our eyes rapidly over the reading material until we come to the right place. Here we shall decrease our reading speed and read carefully until we locate the specific item of information we need.大连理工大学出版社We shall probably not continue beyond that point, for we have fulfilled our special reading purpose.In this unit, you will get a general picture of Scanning. Next unit will tell you more about this technique.大连理工大学出版社A．Guided PracticeThe following is a Winthrop Galleries Exhibition Schedule.

This bacterium causes botulism—a severe form of food poisoning. In small quantities, however, Botox merely interrupts nerve muscles in the face.大连理工大学出版社Botox first began to be used in 1980 to treat many muscle disorders such as lazy eye, eye ticks and uncontrolled blinking. Cosmetic treatments were pioneered by dermatological surgeons in 1987. In small doses, Botox works by paralysing the muscles of the face which are used in frowning and raising the eyebrows. When these muscles relax,。
