What actually happens when we read? Some people think that we read one word 1 ,
understand it and then go on to the next. Other people think that our eyes smoothly 2 over each line from left to right, then back to the beginning of the 3 line, and so on. In fact, the physical action of reading usually doesn’t work in 4 of those ways.
5 you do this experiment with a friend. Get hold of a book with a large page
6 and with lines that go right 7 the page. 8 your friend to 9 the book up and to read it with the top of the book just 10 his eyes level. This 11 that you can watch the movement of his eyes as he read the page. 12 you do this, you will see that your friend’s eyes do not make a continuous forward sweep. 13 they progress(前移) by little “jumps”, moving, then stopping, as they progress along the line.
14 to be this starting and stopping movement 15 the eye can see only when it is not moving. Every time the eye 16 it sees a phrase or even a sentence, then jumps to the next part of the line, and so on.
There is another interesting fact about eye movement. You will notice that, 17 , the reader goes back and looks again at something he 18 before, in other words, he returns to an earlier part of the text probably because he 19 he is not understanding it properly.

Speaking of what sort of smartness is most desirable in human conduct, a friend of mine has this to say: Real smartness must be something that can be practised repeatedly and infinitely. Then, he goes on to relate this event: In one European country there resided some Lebanese. Upon learning that ambulance rides there are provided free to patients in emergency cases, they rented an apartment near a hospital. Each time they wanted to go home, they just pretended to be sick, calling for an ambulance. On arrival at the hospital, they said now that they felt much better and had no need of any treatment. The next moment saw them leaving, safe and sound, to their apartment.
Their “being-clever” affords them only short-lived pleasure and joy; it could not be practised repeatedly, still less infinitely. Such smartness is based on “too clever to be wise”. Once seen through, they will lose the benefits they profited by playing dirty tricks. They will suffer the impairment of their own image and reputation as well as that of those who are tied with them by blood or by common interests.
When a person has done something to the discredit of one’s own image and reputation, it will surely involve others related to him in one way or another. Among those inflicted most by what folly (愚蠢) he may have done are those who, to him, have been close in relations and dear in sentiment.
Additionally, whether one’s act is wise or unwise, rather the summit of wisdom, depends on the result of the act; if , then the more often he does it, the better will he be believed. While repeating that act, he is not only earning himself an admirable image but also contributing to the fine impression and reputation of his relatives, his friends, his hometown and his motherland.
