C skipping every other paragraph while browsing a text

This is really not an answer for gaining any information let alone background information. Often the introductory material gives background information about the text and is usually thought to be important to help the reader better understand the text. This is also true of pictures and footnotes. They are used to help clarify information and give context the reader may not already know.
