Part 3. My thoughts?
首先真的很想吐槽一下，各位都好厲害??！
可能因?yàn)槭谴髮W(xué)狗+平時不看這么長的英文文章+英文超級渣的緣故，我讀15頁讀了將近2小時。期間真的覺得有看不下去，而且很多地方都要反復(fù)反復(fù)反復(fù)讀好多遍才能理解意思。
讀完之后，感覺腦袋一片空白，然后瞬間明白隨手記錄摘抄做筆記的重要性。
還有第一次用這些編輯器之類的東西，要是排版字體有問題，讓人看著很不舒服，請不要憐憫地唾棄指責(zé)我，然后順便在祝福我一下后天的考試順利~（鞠躬）
最后，進(jìn)入正題，來談?wù)勎业囊恍┛捶ā?/h3>
首先，不愧是一本嚴(yán)肅的書，上來就拋出了閱讀的目的和讀者的定義，然后在通過與現(xiàn)代媒體相對比，來展現(xiàn)出讀書帶給我們的諸多益處，讓人迅速意識到閱讀的重要性。當(dāng)然，這僅僅是開始。
光明白閱讀的重要性是不夠的，作者更多的是想讓我們了解到，理解一本書，才是真正的到達(dá)讀書目的的真·閱讀。
于是，作者便分別從Active Reading（有效閱讀），The Goals of Reading（閱讀目的），Reading as Learning（把讀書作為一種學(xué)習(xí)），Present and Absent Teachers（現(xiàn)場和缺席的老師）四個方面為我們闡述他的觀點(diǎn)。
1. Active Reading
讀書都是有效的。你讀得越高效越有技巧，你讀書的效益越高。
2.The Goals of Reading
讀一本簡單的書，你可以獲得信息。對一本超出你水平的書，如果肯自己鉆研不懂的問題，你的理解力將會得到提升。
3.Reading as Learning
外界指導(dǎo)只能讓你加強(qiáng)對輔導(dǎo)的人的理解。而自我探索則能讓你更好地理解書。
4. Present and Absent Teachers
如果所有人都需要靠別人教才會，那么就沒有第一個學(xué)會的人了。
蟹蟹大家的閱讀，大家早點(diǎn)休息，晚安
而我要去徹夜奮戰(zhàn)我的會計學(xué)了
