READING WISELY 睿智 地阅读
The youngster who reads voraciously, though indiscriminately, does not necessarily gain in wisdom over the teenager who is more selective in his reading choices. A young man who has read the life story of every eminent athlete of the twentieth century, or a coed who has steeped herself in every social-protest novel she can get her hands on, may very well be learning all there is to know in a very limited area. But books are replete with so many wonders that it is often discouraging to see bright young people limit their own experiences.
那些读起书来如饥似渴却不加选择的少年们，在智力上的收获并不能超过那些在阅读上有所选择的同龄人。一位读过20 世纪所有著名运动员传记的青年，或一位认真读过她能找到的任何一本反社会话题小说的男女同校女学生，都很可能学会一个有限领域中的所有知识。但书本里有着这么多奇妙的智慧，所以看到聪明的年轻人限制自己的阅读体验是一件非常令人沮丧的事。
