Reflection:
1. 这周阅读中发现其实很多方法或道理我的高中老师，大学老师在不同课堂上都已经讲过，比如删繁就简，行文风格，词法句法，凤头豹尾等。但是很遗憾，写作中却一直没把这些当回事，没刻意练习，自然写作也一直毫无起色。
2. 书为我所用，尽信书不如无书啊。
3. 群里小伙伴的阅读量都很大，比如Zhao DaiWei, 唐人悦，非常值得学习。每天寥寥几笔就暴露了自己阅读之少。
Verb：
1. a person assailed被困扰 by many forces competing for attention.
He meant that the students had been hassling不断烦扰 them about different things.
2. Each tugging用力拉 the reader forward until he is hooked, a writer constructs that fateful unit, the “lead.”
as long as it nudges用肘轻推 his curiosity and tugs at his sleeve.

Phrase:（主要摘自Eric的精选）
1. Probably I gave my O.K. to "regime."
类似表达还有give go-ahead to, give green light to。这样的表达形象、有趣。
2. In the end it comes down to what is "correct" usage.
类似表达还有it boils down to，意思是“说到底”。例如What Eric wants boils down to just one thing: money. Eric无非就是想要一样东西，那就是钱！

fall prey to和fall victim to差不多，表示“成为…的牺牲品；受…的影响。
