However, not all reading is equally effective. We all know that some books are harder to read than others, and if you try to read something too far beyond your ability, you will become disappointed and confused. However, if you only read things that are easy —recreational (消遣的) reading, we might call it —you won’t increase your mental skills.
Recreational reading is important and fun, but not enough. My suggestion is to develop a reading plan that will help you improve your mental skills day by day. The secret of training your mind is to read books that are just a bit harder than you can manage comfortably. Over time, as your mind develops, your ability to read and to think will grow.
So I suggest that, every day, you make a point of spending not less than 20 minutes reading something that challenges you. Choose a topic or story in which you have an interest, but make sure that it encourages you to think. Over time, move deliberately (有意地) from one book or article to another, making sure you choose new material that is just beyond your current level of comfort.
How do you tell whether you are being challenged or not? Every now and then, as you read, ask yourself these three questions: Am I encountering (遇到) words I don’t understand? Am I forced to stop once in a while to think about what I am reading? Are there times when I have to re-read passages in order to understand them more clearly? If the answer to any of these questions is "NO", you are not challenging yourself enough.

One day his grandfather said to him, “Mario, I 32 you a big bag of popcorn that you don’t have as many friends as you think. I’m sure many of them are nothing more than companions.”
Mario 33 the bet without hesitation. However, he wasn’t sure how to test 34 his schoolmates were real friends or not, so he asked his grandfather. The old man answered, “Wait a minute.” Then the old man left, 35 soon as though carrying something in his hands, but Mario could see 36 there.
“Take it. It’s a very special chair because it’s invisible (看不见). It’s rather 37 to sit on it, but if you take it to school and 38 to sit on it, you’ll activate (激活)its magic and you’ll be able to 39 who your real friends are. ”
Mario, brave and determined, took the 40 and set off for school. At break time he asked everyone to form a(n) 41 , and he put himself in the middle, with his chair. Having difficulty seeing it, Mario tried to sit on it and 42 straight onto his backside. Everyone around him had a pretty good laugh.
“Wait！Let me try again,” Mario said. But again, he missed the seat, 43 more surprised looks and a few catcalls (尖叫，喝倒彩). Mario didn’t 44 and kept trying to sit on the magic chair. But he kept falling onto the ground…until， 45 he tried again but didn’t fall. Looking around, Mario saw three of his best friends 46 him up.
