分析 本文讲述了阅读和学习方法，就是为自己的阅读和学习找到一个目的．如果你不能记住你所读的或学习，那将是浪费时间．只有找到正确的阅读和学习的方法，才能记住你所学和你所读的内容．

解答 36．G．根据下文中的"One useful aid that does help you remember what you study is to have a specific purpose or reason for reading．"，可知，获取一个有用的方法可以帮助你记住你所学的是有一个特定的目的或原因的阅读．可推测空白处会说：可能你已经想出一些方法．故选G．
37．F．根据上文中的"If you choose a book，"just looking"for nothing in particular，you are likely to get just that-nothing"，可知，如果你只是读读书，可见并不能得到什么．但后文又说"Your reasons will vary； they will include reading or studying"to find out more about"，"to understand the reasons for"and"to find out how"．"你读书的理由有很多，可推测空白处可能会说：如果你确实知道你想要什么，你几乎肯定能得到它．你也能找到阅读的理由．故选F．
38．A．根据下文中的"Because you know why you are reading or studying，you relate the information to your purpose and remember it bette"，可知，当你知道你为什么要阅读时，或许可以读的更好．这也是一种阅读方法．故选A．
39．D．根据上文中的"Reading is not one single activity"，可知，阅读不是单一的过程，那可以推测阅读可能是两个过程同时进行．也可能是三个过程或者更多．故选D．
40．B．根据下文中的"One part of critical reading，as you have discovered，is distinguishing between facts and opinions，Facts can be checked by evidence"，可知，事实可以通过证据来检查，批判性阅读可以辨别事实和观点，可见，当你阅读时你也可以当做一个批判家．也可以说，一个好的读者是会批判的读者．故选B．
