Question

TEXTO 21 John is a conscientious student. When he is told he will be tested on the content of Chapter 2 in the2 textbook, he looks up every unknown word in the dictionary in an effort to retain the information in3 his memory. He reads the chapter many times. Despite his extended preparations, he does not do4 very well on the test. Mary, on the other hand, excels on the exam, but she has approached the text5 in a very different way. Before reading the chapter, she looks at the subheadings, and graphics so as6 to give herself a general idea of what the text will be about. As she reads through it, she connects7 the material in the chapter to what she already knows. She frequently asks herself questions about8 the text, looking back or ahead to link one part of the text to another. When she is puzzled by the9 content, she searches for clues in the context, and tries to paraphrase or consider what she knows10 about the genre.
