Study the last sentence of the first paragraph. Often times this sentence will contain either the main keyword or a closely related keyword.

Focus on the last paragraph for keywords which also appear in the first paragraph, title, and throughout the rest of the article. The first and last sentences of the last paragraph of an article will most often contain the main keywords, or closely related keywords.
