The biggest reason for reading is to get rid of mediocrity. If a person begins to be mediocre when he is young, it will be very difficult to get rid of mediocrity in the future.
Only books can give you a vast space and a long time, send you all the signals that noble life is long gone, and present countless wisdom and beauty to you along with ignorance and ugliness. Just five feet, just a few decades, can actually gallop through ancient and modern times. At least half of this miracle is due to reading.
It would be a pity to wait until adulthood to make up for such a good thing. It is best to enter when you are young.
Second, we should extend the scope of reading beyond the major.
Reading professional books is of course necessary, mainly for future career needs. Lu Xun said: "this kind of reading is tantamount to a carpenter grinding an axe and a tailor burying a needle and thread." It is not noble, and sometimes it is very painful and pitiful. " (reading miscellaneous talk)
The vitality of life lies in its elasticity. In addition to sports and entertainment, the flexibility of university life is more important in the free acceptance and independent response to the whole world, which is of course outside the major.
Nowadays, many universities find that students are confined to their majors, so it is a good idea to offer general education courses. However, as a course, even general education still retains some insurmountable narrowness and passivity. Therefore, no matter how heavy the homework is and how tight the time is, free extracurricular reading is essential.
What's more, the development of the times has greatly changed the internal structure and external boundaries of various majors. If there is not enough global vision, even majors are difficult to learn well.
Third, find some famous books at the bottom first.
College students' extracurricular reading is the starting point of spiritual maturity, so we should do some basic work first.
What kind of bottom will be made, so make the bottom as strong as possible. Time is running out, so we should try to save money. The most economical way to get to the bottom of it is to read famous books.
Famous works have been repeatedly read by many people and become the premise material of contemporary social discourse. If you don't understand famous works, there will be serious obstacles to cultural exchange. Famous works and other works are not equal in cultural orientation. They seem to be the commanding heights of the military. If they are occupied, a large area of land will not be a problem. We don't have time to occupy the cultural territory outside the profession inch by inch, just charge a few commanding heights.
Fourth, masterpieces can be put down temporarily if they can't stand it.
Even if a familiar teacher gives us a list of books that we must read, there are times when we can't finish reading the famous books in the list.
If you can't read, put it down. Don't study hard. This is the chic of non-professional reading.
Put down such a masterpiece? Yes, put it down. Because you have no fate with it, maybe it is temporary.
No matter how targeted the bibliography is, it only considers the necessity of your acceptance, but not the possibility of your acceptance. The so-called possibility does not mean reading ability, but a system that instructs people to be excited. This is the secret of your life. No one will know.
It's not a bad thing to have one or two cultural idols.
In the process of reading famous books, you will eventually meet several famous books and celebrities who are most congenial to you. You are fascinated, not only reading repeatedly, but also looking for other works of the authors, collecting their biographies and becoming their admirers. A friend of mine said that when he heard Xin Qiji's name, he would blush and his heart would beat. When I was in college, I had a similar scene with the French writer Hugo. This is what we usually call an idol.
The appearance of idols is the beginning of a new reading stage. It is a great happiness to be with world-class or national cultural celebrities. However, the deeper question is: Why are you such a soul mate with him? It's not entirely because of his knowledge, art and reputation, because there are many people who are more knowledgeable, refined and famous than him, but they don't feel so strongly in your heart. Perhaps the root cause is that there is some isomorphism between your life and his life, and he is your elder in-laws in spiritual blood. It is good for you to secretly recognize this relative.
Six, young people should focus on personal reading.
Young people read books and like to discuss with each other. Mutual discussion can establish areas of interest and information, and separate feelings can flow.
But in general, reading is a personal matter. Every word must be silently sensed by your own mind, and many of the most important feelings cannot be expressed. Reading programs are mainly connected through their own life clues, and delicate life clues should be carefully taken care of and maintained. All this may be spoiled by excitement. What's more, we are still students, and even a little superficial feelings don't have the value of spreading outward. It is easy for students to talk about business, but once they have passion, they will fall into one-sided and shallowness will become more superficial.
Just like watching a touching movie, an attentive audience always likes to walk quietly for a while, slowly savor the scenes and lines, and chew on the artist's buried good intentions, instead of talking enthusiastically before leaving the cinema like some young people do. Many times, young people's competitive talk is likely to be a kind of dissipation. The more profound and elegant the work, the more likely it is.
Seven, look at the card should not be done more.
One method that is often taught in reading is to make reading cards frequently. When I read the ideas and materials I am interested in, I will immediately transcribe them on the card. After a few months, I will sort out many cards and store them in different categories. When you want to use it in the future, you can get a well-informed and well-informed self-reliance.
This method is useful for professional research and thesis writing, but not suitable for young students' extracurricular reading. Technically speaking, extracurricular reading covers a wide range and does not focus on a specific problem. The card can't be started, even if it is done, it is useless, wasting a lot of reading time. If you want to extract meaningful sentences, you might as well buy a ready-made "Celebrity Words" and keep it at hand.
But the technical problem is still a trivial matter. The most troublesome thing is that this method of making cards is likely to replace the overall feeling with chapter storage, which is not worth the candle. A good work is an inseparable organic whole, even if it catches its eyebrows, it loses its soul.
I don't advocate making more cards after class, but I am in favor of writing some reading notes, summarizing the spirit and context of the book and recording my understanding and feelings. This kind of reading notes not only describes the book, but also describes himself. Each article should not be too long, so as to extract the immediate feelings and insights.
Eight, have time to go to the bookstore.
The reading resources of college students mainly come from the library. However, I hope you can visit the bookstore when you are free. Bookstores are certainly much smaller than libraries, but they are very interesting cultural frontiers. What is the trend of contemporary people's spiritual work? What is the relationship between these trends and social trends? To what extent is it accepted by the public? The best place to answer these questions is the bookstore.
Brand-new pages, bright covers, exaggerated publicity and busy sales make you feel the steaming creative state of books everywhere, and creation always gives people a pleasant force. This kind of power is an inexplicable nourishment for readers, which makes you stretch your muscles after a long period of quiet reading and deep thinking.
You can pay attention to the best-seller list, judge the people who buy books, and then prepare to choose some books for yourself. Choosing books in a bookstore is different from choosing books in a library. For important books, you will repeatedly consider the necessity of permanent possession, so you have a short self-torture in front of the bookshelf. You may not hesitate to buy some unimportant but interesting new books, so you have some questions about your strange relationship with books, and every answer to this question makes people happy.
Reading should be quantitative and unlimited at the same time.
In adolescence, what kind of reading volume and reading range are appropriate?
In May 2003, the Ministry of Education promulgated the Chinese Curriculum Standards for Full-time Compulsory Education and the Chinese Curriculum Standards for Ordinary Senior High Schools. The New Curriculum Standard has added reading and recommended bibliography, revised and adjusted the original Chinese teaching syllabus, put the reading and appreciation of primary and middle school students in a very prominent position, and put forward clear requirements for the quantity, content, quality and speed of reading. For example, the total reading for primary school students should be no less than 6.5438+0.45 million words; Junior high school students read no less than 4.05 million words and recite 240 excellent poems; High school students should achieve a total reading of not less than 5.55 million words.
We believe that it is more appropriate to specify the requirements and scope of reading in the "new curriculum standard". However, if you like reading, don't limit yourself.
From the pragmatic point of view, reading is the accumulation of cultural capital; From the perspective of idealism, reading is a process of spiritual sublimation. In any case, the more the better.
Some parents do not encourage their children to read more books, thinking that the college entrance examination is the first. This idea is very one-sided. What's the use of going to college if children don't like reading? If children do not form the habit of reading, won't the source of knowledge be cut off? Therefore, you should read more books and see the scenery.
Yu's reading suggestion-
First, regard reading as a major event in life as soon as possible.
The biggest reason for reading is to get rid of mediocrity. If a person begins to be mediocre when he is young, it will be very difficult to get rid of mediocrity in the future.
Only books can give you a vast space and a long time, send you all the signals that noble life is long gone, and present countless wisdom and beauty to you along with ignorance and ugliness.
