前言

　　弗朗西斯·培根曾在他那著名的《论读书》一文中指出：读书使人充实（reading makes a full man），中国也有二句古谚：一为：“书读百遍，其义自现”。二为：“熟读唐诗三百首，不会作诗也会吟。”培根强调的是“读书”（阅读）与人生，而后二者强调的是“阅读”与“理解”、与“写作”（创作）的关系。不论怎样三者都突出强调了“读书”（阅读）的功用。“读书”就其本质而论就是“阅读”，而“阅读”又可分为“精读”（intensive reading）、“泛读”（extensive reading）、“跳读”（skipping）、“扫读”（scanning）和“快速阅读”（fast reading）以及“朗读”（reciting），也就是培根先生所说的some books are to be tasted，Others to be swallowed，and some few to be chewed and digested。　　学习一门外语，既需要“精读”也需要“泛读”，在某种意义上讲，“泛读”的多少决定了外语学习的成败高低。顾名思义，“泛读”就是泛泛而读，它的目标是通过大量的阅读，拓宽视野，扩大知识面，增加词汇量，从而增强语感——而语感是学习外语最最重要的一个因素。

章节摘录

　　The hardest-and most personal-sermon I ever gave in 30 years as a rabbi was on Yom Kippur， one year after our son had died at age 14. Its on this Jewish Day of Atonement that we atone， or make our split， imperfect selves at one. I knew my sermon would have to be a major statement about what losing a son had meant to me and to my faith， and how I could go on believing in a world where young children died.　　I took my text from a little book called The Missing Piece， which I can describe only as a fairy tale for adults. It tells the story of a circle that was missing a piece. A large triangular wedge had been cut out of it. The circle wanted to be whole with nothing missing， so-it went around looking for its missing piece. But because it was incomplete and therefore could roll only very slowly， it enjoyed the sunshine. It found lots of different pieces， but none of them fit. So it left them all by the side of the road and kept on searching.　　Then one day the circle found a piece that fit perfectly. It was so happy. Now it could be whole， with nothing missing. It incorporated the missing piece into itself and began to roll. Now that it was a perfect circle， it could roll very fast， too fast to notice the flowers or talk to the worms. When it realized how different the world seemed when it rolled so quickly， it stopped， left its found piece by the side of the road and rolled slowly away.
