感悟 & Summary

阅读层次的四个分化，由浅至深，是读书由薄到厚，再从厚到薄的一个过程。大量吸收，在分析的基础上，融合为自己的东西，从而提出新的观点，建立新的联系，有效输出。中国的教育，考试试卷的模式也是参照这四个过程，但是形式感大于实际的有效输入。在第二层次的快速阅读上以分数为量化标准，在大学四年的学习中，缺少过程的指导，直接一步到位在最后一篇论文上要求一下子具备思想，技巧和大量阅读后的筛选。 在大二的时候就开始构思论文选题，这个过程中看了相关的论文和书籍。但是笼统，没有规律，总是在看了很久之后幡然醒悟，有几点是相关的，更多的是要放弃。这体现的就是一个技巧的缺失，更是一种阅读理念的偏离。对于这本书提到的很多读书误区，深有体会。

 The notion "reading readiness" has hindered myself from reading since I was in elementary school. When I can't understand and don't like reading, I was pushed to finish reading tests and failed in Chinese study. Since then I am afraid of but also eager to reading.That is to say, I am eager to read as much as possible but on the other hand, I am afraid of miscomprehension. The truth is that I read and I grasp the superficial outline and forgot in seconds. Reading Readiness and Reading skills are the points I am lacking and learning to obtain.
