数年前，美国教育考试中心实行托福电脑考试的时候，笔者就曾编写过《TOOEFL阅读突破》，受到不少读者的关注。该书当时是针对TOOEFL电脑阅读考试而写的，主要介绍了一种应试方法阅读解析法。所谓解析法，就是分解剖析一篇文章，抓住关键的词或词组，搞清楚每句话、每个段落以及整篇文章的主要内容，同时找出每一个可能会考到的地方。这样考生就能有的放矢地去阅读文章，没有必要花很多时间和精力去弄懂每一个词，也不会在一些细小的问题上纠缠不清。运用了解析法，阅读的目的性强了，花的时间少了，回答问题的正确率提高了，从而考试得分率也随之提高。 近年来TOEFL考试形式发生了重大变化，由原来的电脑考试（Computer-Based Test）变成网络考试（Internet-Based Fest）。阅读文章篇幅有所增长，题型也有所变化。但是，总的说来变化不是很大。阅读解析法依然可以在实际考试中应用。因而笔者产生了编写《新托福阅读网络考试》一书的念头，希望能够有助于报考新托福网络考试的莘莘学子。 《新托福阅读网络考试》对新托福网络考试阅读部分进行了详细介绍，尤其是介绍了新的题型，并且提供了实战操练。同时，书中也详细介绍了阅读解析法，使考生能够事半功倍，以较小的力气去获得较大的收益。 参加本书编写工作的还有上海对外贸易学院部分英语硕士研究生，在此一并向他们表示感谢。

It is commonly believed in the United States that school is where people go to get aneducation. Nevertheless, it has been said that today children interrupt their education to goto school. The distinction between schooling and education implied by this remark isimportant. Education is much more open-ended and all-inclusive than schooling. Educationknows no bounds. It can take place anywhere, whether in the shower or on the job,whether in a kitchen or on a tractor. It includes both the formal learning that takes placein schools and the whole universe of informal learning. The agents of education canrange from a revered grandparent to the people debating politics on the radio, from achild to a distinguished scientist. Whereas schooling has a certain predictability,education quite often produces surprises. A chance conversation with a stranger may leada person to discover how little is known of other religions. People are engaged ineducation from infancy on. Education, then, is a very broad, inclusive term. It is alifelong process, a process that starts long before the start of school, and one that shouldbe an integral part of ones entire life. Schooling, on the other hand, is a specific, formalized process, whose general patternvaries little from one setting to the next. Throughout a country, children arrive at schoolat approximately the same time, take assigned seats, are taught by an adult, use similartextbooks, do homework, take exams, and so on. The slices of reality that are to belearned, whether they are the alphabet or an understanding of the working ofgovernment, have usually been limited by the boundaries of the subject being taught. Forexample, high school students know that they are not likely to find out in their classes thetruth about political problems in their communities or what the newest filmmakers areexperimenting with. There are definite conditions surrounding the formalized process ofschooling.
