尝试了师太方法的思维导图,果然比原来的简单的列举法要清晰的多,最重要的是,看着这个导图的每一条就可以自己在脑子里摸索出整篇文章的结构

其实这篇文章虽然讲的是和电子化医疗有关的内容,却和前几天的阅读有着相似之处。我想,这样的新的变化对于原有的医疗、药品行业也是有着很大的冲击的。但是,这与电力市场的巨变也是有着本质性的区别的

首先,旧能源发的电在很大程度上也是可以被负担的起的,而医疗费用,对于大部分人来说,都有些昂贵,尤其是身患重症的人来说,医疗费用可能会使人们倾家荡产。其次,新能源的另一个好处是环境保护,但新型医疗却有可能预防疾病的发生也可以在危险时刻拯救人们的生命,不得不承认,这是更加明显而吸引人的优点。

通过电力市场和医疗行业的变化,我们可以看出整个社会的变化趋势,向着更加方便快捷自由环保的方向。这是令人欣喜的。但是,在走向这些新的时代的时候,我有时也会有些惶恐和疑惑,因为i不知道走到哪里就会走到社会发展的尽头。或许是杞人忧天吧,但却无法克制这些念头。

精读社活动已经进行了两个星期,虽然不长,我却已经感觉到了自己的变化,持续的文本输入和思考使得自己更加乐于阅读和思考,还是要提到active reading,觉得自己又进了一步。从阅读的动机到阅读的速度,都在一点点提升。

另外,精读社活动也是约束自己的好方法。在过去,如果发现自己累了无聊了,可能就会开始休息。但现在却有着每天的任务在心里,就像现在。周日的晚上快到十点了,一天很疲惫,我更愿意做的或许是躺在床上看一看书听一听歌,但打卡任务却促使我不能停下,不然这三天的心得体会就会随着一个美梦给忘记了吧。

精读班不仅让我更加懂得如何读书,更加让我明白坚持与自我约束的力量。希望在后半程的学习中,能够有更多的收获与感悟。
