Part 3. My thoughts
首先真的很想吐槽一下，各位都好厉害！！
可能因为是大学狗+平时不看这么长的英文文章+英文超级渣的缘故，我读15页读了将近2小时。期间真的觉得有看不下去，而且很多地方都要反复反复反复读好多遍才能理解意思。
读完之后，感觉脑袋一片空白，然后瞬间明白随手记录摘抄做笔记的重要性。
还有第一次用这些编辑器之类的东西，要是排版字体有问题，让人看着很不舒服，请不要怜悯地唾弃指责我，然后顺便在祝福我一下后天的考试顺利~（鞠躬）
最后，进入正题，来谈谈我的一些看法。
首先，不愧是一本严肃的书，上来就抛出了阅读的目的和读者的定义，然后在通过与现代媒体相对比，来展现出读书带给我们的诸多益处，让人迅速意识到阅读的重要性。当然，这仅仅是开始。
光明白阅读的重要性是不够的，作者更多的是想让我们了解到，理解一本书，才是真正的到达读书目的的真·阅读。
于是，作者便分别从Active Reading（有效阅读），The Goals of Reading（阅读目的），Reading as Learning（把读书作为一种学习），Present and Absent Teachers（现场和缺席的老师）四个方面为我们阐述他的观点。
1. Active Reading
读书都是有效的。你读得越高效越有技巧，你读书的效益越高。
2.The Goals of Reading
读一本简单的书，你可以获得信息。对一本超出你水平的书，如果肯自己钻研不懂的问题，你的理解力将会得到提升。
3.Reading as Learning
外界指导只能让你加强对辅导的人的理解。而自我探索则能让你更好地理解书。
4. Present and Absent Teachers
如果所有人都需要靠别人教才会，那么就没有第一个学会的人了。
蟹蟹大家的阅读，大家早点休息，晚安
而我要去彻夜奋战我的会计学了
