my experience is that i tried to read into lines in the beginning. took me a long time to "digest" (at least i tried to), and the result wasn't good. so last night, i tried to just skim through first, get the general idea of what the paragraph is talkign about (knowing where to be referred to later on), and then later on once asked, tried to read the lines before and after the referred passage. and so far, it worked better than the first approach.
