Scanning is a technique you often use when looking up a
word in the telephone book or dictionary. You search for key words or ideas.
In most cases, you know what you're looking for, so you're concentrating on
finding a particular answer. Scanning involves moving your eyes quickly down
the page seeking specific words and phrases. Scanning is also used when you
first find a resource to determine whether it will answer your questions.
Once you've scanned the document, you might go back and skim it. When
scanning, look for the author's use of organizers such as numbers, letters,
steps, or the words, first, second, or next. Look for words that are bold
faced, italics, or in a different font size, style, or colour. Sometimes the
author will put key ideas in the margin. Hints
and tips for better scanning. 1. Don't try to read every word. Instead let your
eyes move quickly across the page until you find what you are looking for. 2. Use clues on the page, such as headings and
titles, to help you. 4. If you are reading for study, start by
thinking up or writing down some questions that you want to answer. Doing
this can focus your mind and help you find the facts or information that you
need more easily. 5. Many texts use A-Z order. These include
everyday materials such as the phone book and indexes to books and
catalogues. 6. There are many ways to practise scanning
skills. Try looking up a favourite recipe in the index of a cookbook, search
for a plumber in your local Yellow Pages, or scan web pages on the Internet
to find specific information. Exercises

injections are one of the most popular cosmetic treatments in the world.
Celebrities like Madonna, Kylie Minogue and Liz
Hurley are rumoured to be keeping the wrinkles at bay this way. Sir
Cliff Richard admitted to having had the treatment and now it is an
increasingly popular choice for ordinary women looking for a quick way to
look younger. What
is Botox Botox
is made from 'botulinum toxin', a poison produced
by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. This
bacterium causes botulism - a severe form of food poisoning. In small
quantities, however, Botox merely interrupts nerve impulses to muscles in the
face. 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 Armpit
attack Botox
is reportedly a favourite with Oscar nominees who don't want to work up a
sweat on the red carpet. Some stars have injections in their armpits to
paralyse the sweat glands there. This way they can receive their awards
knowing they don't have sweaty patches under their arms and hand back their
couture outfits unstained. How
long does it last? Injections
take effect about three to seven days after treatment and the effect lasts
three or four months. A treatment costs roughly £200. With repeated
treatments, atrophy or thinning of the muscles occurs, which produces longer
lasting results. Botox may be unsuitable for use around the mouth as the
muscles there are important for facial expressions and eating. Side
effects Soreness
or mild bruising can occur around the injection site. In rare instances
patients may experience a droopy eyebrow or eyelid. Headaches can also occur.
Since it is still a relatively new treatment, any possible side effects of
long-term use are still unknown. Botox should only be administered by
experienced and well-trained doctors or nurses. A high dose could cause
poisoning, or an exaggerated effect. Botox
and Bollinger Botox

treatments whilst sipping champagne. The Not
