This reading lesson is about Using Key Words. So, Using Key Words is a specific strategy to help you answer
questions more quickly on the ACT reading test while the clock is ticking. Also as a side benefit, it might help you do your homework a little bit faster when
you have long reading tasks and you're being asked to answer very specific questions.
So, I do wanna reiterate that this is not a strategy to necessarily become a better reader. It's test specific because you are under a lot of time pressure on the ACT reading test and you need to find answers quickly. 因此，您并不总是给出确切的线条参考或在您需要找到答案选择的地方，他们是长段落。
You need to be able to find information quickly so this is just kind of a strategy to train your eyes. So why is this important? Well, ACT reading passages are long. 我不期望你能够读到这一点。但即使没有能够阅读它，你也许可能会注意到有一些东西 跳出来，也许喜欢大写字母。
Just because the text looks a little bit different, maybe a parenthesis jump out if you see them like right here, 如果你可以读到这一点，也许斜体就像这里一样。所以，我们会寻找跳出我们的东西。 We're gonna find the key words in the questions and it's gonna help us find answers in the passage a little bit more quickly.
So, ACT reading passages are so long. Even if you thoroughly read the passage it's likely you won't always remember where the answer was to a question. So, it helps to train your eyes to find the easiest key words referenced in the question. So, this is a strategy for finding information in the passage where 不要给的问题you a line or paragraph reference, here's how to do it.
在您的问题中找到一个关键词，更容易发现现场，并扫描段落以找到关键字，以及 then repeat with other key words if necessary. So, key words are easier to spot when scanning a passage include numbers such as dates, capitalized words like names, and italicized words or anything in a different format from the regular text, 以及特定术语或罕见的名词。
所以，并不是一个关键词，这段经文可能会说一个百吉时间，所以这不是你要找的东西。 让我们来看看一些例子，看看我们是否可以弄清楚我们的关键词可能是什么。 So imagine this is a question you see. According to the passage, it can reasonably be assumed that Thatcher's 1979 election as Prime Minister resulted in.
现在，你可能会说撒切尔，但如果整个段落是关于撒切尔的话，那就会说撒切尔，撒切尔，撒切尔一遍又一遍地。 所以，1979年可能是我的第一次去，这整篇段落可能不会再说1979年。 如果它，那么你会寻找一些其他关键词。也许它将是撒切者，具体取决于上下文，或者 Prime Minister.
That might be what we're looking for because of those capitals here, the capital letters there. 这个问题怎么样？撒切尔最初是奖励绰号铁长， 在这种情况下，整个通道就是关于撒切尔。我有点喜欢使用铁女士作为我们的关键词，它有这些报价， 也许报价会在通道中使用，也许不是，但它肯定有我和L的大写字母。
One more example. Recession and unemployment during Thatcher's first years in office affected 她的流行情况如何？再次，我们在这里唯一的资本专有名词是撒切尔。 The whole passage is about Thatcher. It's not gonna help you out too, too much.
But we have a few terms. These are what I'm saying are a little less common, specific terms, like recession. That could be a word that we look for, and unemployment. 现在，该段落可能会使用某些事情的同义词，但是术语的更具体，段落的可能性越小就会使用同义词 for that, so, recession jumps out at me as the best here one to be looking for specifically in the passage.
Here's a special bonus hint, if you can't find your question key words when you're scanning the passage, try looking for the key words that appear in the answer choices. So for example, if your question was Thatcher was originally awarded the nickname Iron Lady by, well, notice there's a lot of capital letters here. And we can look for these names in the passage and work by process of elimination.
It's a little bit slower, but it can also get you there. Just in case you were wondering, she was given that nickname by a Soviet journalist. Now you know, fun fact. 让我们来看看这里的测试榜样。所以我们实际上并没有阅读并阅读这段经文， 我们只是在这里练习这个策略。
你会看到这段话再次出现在其他地方，所以永远不会害怕。可以推断，这段经文的参考是浅蓝色逆向靴子是 主要打算。花一秒钟，这篇文章中的第一个词是什么，你会寻找， in this question, sorry, that you would look for in the passage? If you said Converse, that's the one I would go with as well because of the capital C, because it's a specific brand name.
所以，这可能是品牌提到的，实际上，我们知道，因为我们在这里有报价。 所以我们知道这是专门提到的。所以也许我们正在寻找整个短语，也许我们只是在寻找 Converse. So, there's no right and wrong answer to key words but numbers, proper nouns are always easier to spot.
So if you have those options, I would go with those. So then we're gonna scan through the passage and we're gonna look for 大写字母c。我这里没有看到它。 I do not see Converse here, I'm gonna keep scanning. I'll have to see, here that phrase is, light blue Converse boots, and then we can hone in on that to answer our question.
让我们来继续回答它，只是看待该部分。可以推断，这段经文的参考是浅蓝色逆向靴子是 主要打算。Let's go ahead and take a look at this paragraph. 继续暂停视频，阅读它，看看你是否可以弄清楚答案可能是什么。
Okay, so in this case, Marie Antoinette is trying on new high heeled shoes and next to her on the floor lays a pair of well worn light blue Converse boots. 不间断的功能是对今天时尚和青年文化的交叉引用，提醒观众这是一个关于青少年和青少年的电影 不是一个18世纪的作品。所以这段经文说明了为什么浅蓝色匡威靴子在那里。
And earlier in here, earlier in this paragraph, we have this reference to psychological, social and emotional condition of the character. So, talking about the costume design overall illustrates psychological, social and emotional condition of the character. 浅蓝色匡威靴子告诉我们这是一部关于青少年的电影。所以这些想法正在加上所以，心理，社会， 情绪化，条件。
Well, a teenager is a social condition, so the answer here is going to be B. Quick recap, underline the specific key words in your question and figure out what they are.
