【摘要】

When we contrast active with passive reading, our purpose is, first, to call attention to the fact that reading can be more or less active, and second, to point out that the more active the reading the better. One reader is better than another in proportion as he is capable of a greater range of activity in reading and exerts more effort.

be more active and try to ask questions

It is noteworthy that the pitcher and catcher are successful only to the extent that they cooperate. The relation of writer and reader is similar.

The writer’s skill and the reader’s skill converge upon a common end.

combine all the energy and skills with readind
