寫在前面的話。
新年快樂啊～
頭一次這么認真的讀一本書。從來沒讀完過一本英文原版書的我，在自習室坐了一下午，才把第一章讀完，做完筆記。水平不夠，用了五六個小時，目前實在無法像Eric說的那樣一個小時足矣。這份筆記真的不夠好，亟需改善，我踏踏實實慢慢進步吧。相信會越來越好，總不能越練越差，對吧。

Summary
讀完第一章我發現上了這么多年學，我確實是新時代的文盲。在這個信息爆炸的時代，我們每天要接受太多的信息，但我自知這些快速信息都是垃圾，就像李笑來說的，知識不會爆炸，爆炸的都是垃圾。每天用手機刷出來的訂閱號微博朋友圈，都是讓人看的想吐的東西，因為看這些的時候很少有人會去思考，盲目認同。我真的很懶，從來不想主動思考問題，這實在是很可怕。這本書反復強調the understanding of reading，簡直是在不斷的告誡我，你要自己思考啊，要主動的想問什么啊。書不在多在于精，讀書是要引發思考的，而不是像我以前讀完就讀完了，以后別人提到，只會說，啊我讀過那本書，但其實和沒讀一樣。
群里的小伙伴昨天都發了，而我今天才讀一名第一章，比別人落后一天，而且這幾天忙考試，還會比落后別人一兩章。堅持最重要啊，一定要堅持下去，會每天看，但是筆記不一定每天寫，我一定努力補上。
練聽力去了??
晚安
