阅读技巧指南
1.培养英语阅读和思考习惯，尽量摈弃母语的思维定式，学会通过上下文逻辑关系、词缀、行文衔接等推断生词意思，进而可以深挖文本，了解字里行间的意思。
2.尽自己最大的努力理解文章，把握主旨，并不强求逐字逐句去理解透彻。如果遇到生词，先猜一下它的意思，再看注释。学会通篇读下来，理解大意，抓住主要观点。从全文角度理解文章总体意思，要比完全理解每一个小细节更重要。
3.根据自己实际主动学习，查缺补漏，通过阅读不断提升。阅读的量积累到一定程度，我们的英文水平就会有质的飞跃。
4.不要为了阅读而阅读，阅读既是一种享受原汁原味语言魅力的过程，更是一个学习借鉴的积累进程。一篇好的文章，其中的表达，包括词汇、句式、语法等层面都会有很多值得我们学习积累的地方。
5. 不要担心自己基础薄弱，读得比较吃力，更不要觉得读这些和英语考试无关，纯粹是浪费时间，重要的是看你有没有用心去学，并思考总结。
6.不要轻言放弃，因为从来没有一种坚持会被辜负。要知道这世上没有一蹴而就的成功，有的只是矢志不渝的积累。

A woman allegedly made anti-Asian remarks and pepper-sprayed four people in New York City over the weekend, authorities said.
The New York Police Department's Hate Crime Task Force, which is investigating the incident, released several photos and a video of the woman they believe carried out the assaults Saturday in Manhattan's Meatpacking District. The video does not contain audio.
In the video, the suspect is seen brandishing what appears to be pepper-spray. The NYPD said she pepper-sprayed four women during the altercation. The women refused medical attention, according to a news release from police.
At some point during the altercation, not captured in the video that NYPD released, an unidentified Asian man passed the group on the sidewalk, NYPD Sergeant Anwar Ishmael told CNN. The woman allegedly turned to him and said, "You take all your b***hes back to where you came from," Ishmael said.
Hate crimes, including those against Asians, have seen a sharp increase in recent years. The Covid-19 pandemic sparked attacks against Asians amid online and political rhetoric stigmatizing them, but this category of hate crime is often underreported.
Between March 31, 2021, and March 31, 2022, 110 of 577 hate crime incidents targeted Asians, according to the NYPD Hate Crimes Dashboard. In March 2022 alone, there were nine incidents treated as hate crimes targeting Asian Americans, with five arrests.
