This brief book is aimed at high school students, but speaks to anyone learning at any stage of life.

Its formal, serious style closely matches its content, a school-masterly book on schooling. The author, W. H. Armstrong, starts with the basics: reading and writing. In his opinion, reading doesn’t just mean recognizing each word on the page; it means taking in the information, digesting it and incorporating it into oneself just as one digests a sandwich and makes it a part of himself. The goal is to bring the information back to life, not just to treat it as dead facts on paper from dead trees. Reading and writing cannot be completely separated from each other; in fact, the aim of reading is to express the information you have got from the text. I’ve seen it again and again: someone who can’t express an idea after reading a text is just as ineffective as someone who hasn’t read it at all.

Only a third of the book remains after that discussion, which Armstrong devotes to specific tips for studying languages, math, science and history. He generally handles these topics thoroughly  and equally, except for some weakness in the science and math sections and a bit too much passion regarding history. Well, he was a history teacher —if conveyed only a tenth of his passion to his students, that was a hundred times more than my history teachers ever got across.

To my disappointment, in this part of the book he ignores the arts.As a matter of fact, they demand all the concentration, and study that math arid science do, though the study differs slightly in kind.Although it's commonly believed that the arts can only be naturally acquired, actually, learning the arts is no more natural than learning French or mathematics.

       My other comment is that tke text aged.The first edition apparently dates to the 1960s—none of the references (参考文献) seem newer than the late 1950s.As a result, the discussion misses the entire computer age.

       These are small points, though, and don't affect the main discussion.I recommend it to any student and any teacher, including the self-taught student.

According to Armstrong, the goal of reading is to ____        .

A.gain knowledge and expand one's view

B.understand the meaning between the lines           

C.express ideas based on what one has read            

D.get information and keep it alive in memory

The author of the passage insists that learning the arts___        .

A.requires great efforts       B.demands real passion

C.is less natural than learning maths   D.is as natural as learning a language

What is a shortcoming of Armstrong's work.according to- the author?

A.Some ideas are slightly contradictory.

B.There is too much discussion on studying science.

C.The style is too serious.

D.It lacks new information.

This passage can be classified as ___.

A.an advertisement         B.a book review

C.a feature story            D.a news report
