Active Reading
Since reading of any sort is an activity, all reading must to some degree （在一定程度上）be active.
we cannot read with our eyes immobilized and our minds asleep.（我們不能只看不思考）
Hence （因此,所以,從此……這個詞出現對於我比較生疏,特此標記）
One reader is better than another in proportion as he is capable of a greater range of activity in reading and exerts more effort.（一個讀者比另外一個讀者更好在他有能力有一個更大的閱讀範圍和他投入的努力更多占了相當的比例）
He is better if he demands more of himself and of the text before him.（如果他在面前的文字前對自己要求更高他會更好）
. The writer or speaker must put out some effort, but no work need be done by the reader or listener. ……put out some effort相當於make some efforts
The mistake here is to suppose that receiving communication is like receiving a blow or a legacy or a judgment from the court. receiving a blow or a legacy（receving a blow 可以用making a hit 代替
它有很多習語
We can take this analogy a step further. The art of catching is the skill of catching every kind of pitch—fast balls and curves, changeups and knucklers. Similarly, the art of reading is the skill of catching every sort of communication as well as possible.
It is noteworthy that the pitcher and catcher are successful only to the extent that they cooperate.
The writer’s skill and the reader’s skill converge upon a common end.
Other things being equal, they are easier to “catch” than a “wild” writer without “control.”
There is one respect in which the analogy breaks down.
The amount the reader “catches” will usually depend on the amount of activity he puts into the process, as well as upon the skill with which he executes the different mental acts involved.
For the moment, it suffices to say that, given the same thing to read, one person reads it better than another, first, by reading it more actively, and second, by performing each of the acts involved more skillfully. These two things are related.
