“Francis Bacon once remarked that “some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested.” Reading a book analytically is chewing and digesting it.”
Words & Phrases (每日五詞）
1. ferment
The word ferment means a commotion or excitement.
While you might be more familiar with the verb ferment, referring to the natural process that produces alcohol, the word is also used as a noun,giving the same type of boiling emotion to people or events.
If you keep in mind that the root of the word is fevere, meaning "to boil or seethe," you get a vivid picture of the ferment experienced at a political rally where tempers run high. 從詞根記憶
原文：“Three historical trends or movements have converged upon our time to produce this ferment. ”
2. a far cry from
very different from something.
“ They can be summed up in the observation that teaching a small percentage of highly motivated children, most of them the children of literate parents, to read —as was the case a century ago—is a far cry from teaching every child to read, no matter how little motivated he may be, or how deprived his background.”
3. pendulum
A pendulum is something hanging and swinging freely from a fixed point. A grandfather clock might use for timekeeping a pendulum that swings back and forth.
Pendulum comes from the Latin word pendulous, meaning "hanging down." If someone hangs a pocket watch in front of you and swings it back and forth, saying, "You're getting very sleepy," they're mimicking the movement of a pendulum. We also use the word pendulum to describe a situation moving between two poles or across a spectrum, like the balance of power in a multiparty political system.
原文：“ More recently, however, the pendulum has swung back again toward phonics, which indeed had never entirely left the curriculum.”

Summary
There are four levels of reading.
the first level: Elementary reading ( or called rudimentary reading, basic reading or initial reading)
aim: what does the sentence say?
when: This level of reading is ordinarily learned in elementary school.
Problems: the problems of this level of reading will happen when we readboth in written in a foreign language or in our own language
the second level: Inspectional Reading( skimming or pre-reading)
aim: What is the book about? what is the structure of the book?
get the most out of a book within a given time
problem: most people, even many quite good reader, are unaware of the value of inspectional reading.
the third level: Analytical Reading
aim: know more about a book
The book is mainly about reading at this level. Only few books are to be chewed and digested. Reading a book analytically is cheweing and digesting it.
the fourth level: Synoptical Reading ( comparative reading)
aim：the syntopical reader is able to construct an analysis of the subject that may not be in any of the books.
the most rewarding of all reading activities.
The benefits are so great that it is well worth the trouble of learning how to do it.
Elementary Reading:
There are four stages of elementary reading.
閱讀感悟：
在昨天的章節(jié)中凭需，體會(huì)最深的是：
一本書如一個(gè)老師辙谜，一本好書就是難的一位好老師俺榆，我們要了解他的觀點(diǎn)，跟他學(xué)習(xí)装哆，跟他溝通肋演，向他提問，縮短和他的差距烂琴，達(dá)到他的高度。
有了這個(gè)前提蜕乡，今天這兩章讀的一點(diǎn)都不枯燥奸绷，跟一位優(yōu)秀的老師交流是一件愉快的事情。
讀書有四個(gè)層次层玲，第一個(gè)層次是基礎(chǔ)閱讀号醉。基礎(chǔ)閱讀差不多在中學(xué)階段完成辛块。達(dá)到第一階段的閱讀應(yīng)該具備什么樣的能力畔派？
從一本書到另一本書不斷吸收觀念化為己有；對(duì)同一主題润绵，能夠?qū)Ρ炔煌淖髡叩挠^點(diǎn)线椰；并終其一生堅(jiān)持下去。這才是達(dá)到了成熟的初級(jí)閱讀階段尘盼。
“Finally, the fourth stage is characterized by the refinement and enhancement of the skills previously acquired. Above all, the studentbegins to be able to assimilate his reading experiences—that is, to carry over concepts from one piece of writing to another, and to compare the views of different writers on the same subject.This, the mature stage of reading, should be reached by young persons in their early teens. Ideally, they should continue to build on it for the rest of their lives.”
初級(jí)閱讀階段憨愉，如作者所說烦绳，即使我們已經(jīng)上了大學(xué)，或者大學(xué)畢業(yè)配紫，閱讀水平可能仍然處于初級(jí)閱讀層次径密，甚至遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)沒有達(dá)到初級(jí)閱讀的最高要求。
坦誠的說躺孝，我連最基本的初級(jí)閱讀到不達(dá)標(biāo)享扔。如果一定要定個(gè)位，可能只是剛剛小學(xué)畢業(yè)的水平植袍。
今天跟How to Read a Book 這位優(yōu)秀的老師交流的結(jié)果是：今天跟書對(duì)話的結(jié)果是惧眠，我知道的自己的閱讀層次，知道自己在閱讀的路上還有很長(zhǎng)的路要走奋单。
下一章是檢視閱讀锉试，第二章作者中有一段話，問一問自己是個(gè)怎樣的閱讀者览濒？是作者說的這種嗎呆盖？
打開一本書，從第一頁開始讀贷笛，孜孜不倦应又，甚至連目錄都不看。一本書也許只需要粗淺翻閱乏苦，你卻花費(fèi)巨大的精力去仔細(xì)閱讀株扛，試圖理解一本書。
“They start a book on page one and plow steadily through it, without even reading the table of contents. They are thus faced with the task of achieving a superficial knowledge of the book at the same time that they are trying to understand it. That compounds the difficulty.”
世上的書千千萬萬汇荐，值得我們細(xì)嚼慢咽的書并不多洞就。
some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested.” Reading a book analytically is chewing and digesting it.
