We scan to find specific information from the text we are reading such as a newspaper article or a label instruction. Scanning helps us quickly find important information we are seeking without having to read every word. How do we scan?

Reservations were made long ago in spite of a high price tag of NT$5000 per set. The company kept one set for auction on the internet. A 35-year old Taiwan businessman working in mainland China won the tickets by outbidding others with NT$8200 to enjoy the dinner in the sky with his girlfriend.   (China Post: 12/2004)
