13、t Maugham1.The first thing I want to insist on is that reading should be enjoyable.Of course,there are many books that we all have to read,either to pass examinations or to acquire information,from which it is impossible to extract enjoyment.We are reading them for instruction,and the best we can ho
14、pe is that our need for it will enable us to get through them without tedium.Such books we read with resignation rather than with alacrity.But that is not the sort of reading I have in mind.Detailed Reading第14页综合教程6(第2版)电子教案DR-p1b-textThe books I shall mention in due course will help you neither to
15、get a degree nor to earn your living.They will not teach you to sail a boat or get a stalled motor to run,but they will help you to live more fully.That,however,they cannot do unless you enjoy reading them.Detailed Reading第15页综合教程6(第2版)电子教案DR-p2a-text2.The“you”I address is the adult whose avocations
16、 give him certain leisure and who would like to read the books which can without loss be left unread.I do not address the bookworm.He can find his own way.I wish to deal only with the masterpieces which the consensus of opinion for a long time has accepted as supreme.We are all supposed to have read
17、 them;it is a pity that so few of us have.But there are masterpieces which are acknowledged to be such by all the best critics and to which the historians of literature devote considerable space,yet which no ordinary person can now read with enjoyment.Detailed Reading第16页综合教程6(第2版)电子教案DR-p2b-textThe
18、y are important to the students,but changing times and changing tastes have robbed them of their savour and it is hard to read them now without an effort of will.Let me give one instance:I have read George Eliots Adam Bede,but I cannot put my hand on my heart and say that was with pleasure.I read it
19、 from a sense of duty;I finished it with a sigh of relief.Detailed Reading第17页综合教程6(第2版)电子教案DR-p3a-text3.Now of such books as this I mean to say nothing.Every man is his own best critic.Whatever the learned say about a book,however unanimous they are in their praise of it,unless it interests you,it
20、is no business of yours.Dont forget that critics often make mistakes the history of criticism is full of the blunders the most eminent of them have made,and you who read are the final judge of the value to you of the book you are reading.This,of course,applies to the books I am going to recommend to
21、 your attention.Detailed Reading第18页综合教程6(第2版)电子教案DR-p3b-textWe are none of us exactly like everyone else,only rather like,and it would be unreasonable to suppose that the books that have meant a great deal to me should be precisely those that will mean a great deal to you.But they are books that I
22、feel the richer for having read,and I think I should not be quite the man I am if I had not read them.And so I beg of you,if any of you who read these pages are tempted to read the books I suggest and cannot get on with them,just put them down;they will be of no service to you if you do not enjoy th
23、em.Detailed Reading第19页综合教程6(第2版)电子教案DR-p3c-textNo one is under an obligation to read poetry or fiction or the miscellaneous literature which is classed as belles-lettres.(I wish I knew the English term for this,but I dont think there is one.)He must read them for pleasure,and who can claim that wha
24、t pleases one man must necessarily please another?Detailed Reading第20页综合教程6(第2版)电子教案DR-p4a-text4.But let no one think that pleasure is immoral.Pleasure in itself is a great good,all pleasure,but its consequences may be such that the sensible person eschews certain varieties of it.Nor need pleasure b

27、st cold in the head.But who is going to acquire the habit of reading for readings sake,if he is bidden to read books that bore him?Detailed Reading第22页综合教程6(第2版)电子教案DR-p5a-text5.It is more convenient to take the books of which I am now going to speak in chronological order,but I can see no reason wh
28、y,if you make up your mind to read them,you should do so in that order.I think you would be much better advised to read them according to your fancy;nor do I see even why you should read them one by one.For my own part,I find it more agreeable to read four or five books together.After all,you arent
29、in the same mood on one day as on another,nor have you the same eagerness to read a certain book at all hours of the day.Detailed Reading第23页综合教程6(第2版)电子教案DR-p5b-textWe must suit ourselves in these matters,and I have naturally adopted the plan that best suits me.In the morning before I start work I
30、read for a while a book,either of science or philosophy,that requires a fresh and attentive brain.It sets me off for the day.Later on,when my work is done and I feel at ease,but not inclined for mental exercise of a strenuous character,I read history,essays,criticism or biography;and in the evening
31、I read a novel.Detailed Reading第24页综合教程6(第2版)电子教案DR-p5c-textBesides these,I keep on hand a volume of poetry in case I feel in the mood for that,and by my bedside I have one of those books,too rarely to be found,alas,which you can dip into at any place and stop reading with equanimity at the end of a
32、ny paragraph.Detailed Reading第25页综合教程6(第2版)电子教案DR-p6a-text6.Upon looking back on what I have written,I notice that I have more than once suggested to you that you would be wise now and then to skip.I think all the books I have mentioned are important enough to be read thoroughly,but even they are mo

35、w you are to learn it I cannot tell you,for it is a trick I have never acquired.I am a bad skipper;I am afraid of missing something that may be of value to me,and so will read pages that only weary me;Detailed Reading第27页综合教程6(第2版)电子教案DR-p6c-textwhen once I begin to skip,I cannot stop,and end the bo

38、are eligible to read the books in his mind.Then he moves on to the first topic the selection of books for reading.In this paragraph the author points out a problem with some masterpieces,that is,“.changing times and changing tastes have robbed them of their savour.”and it is no longer enjoyable for

46、pieces are important to students.On the other hand,he realizes that all masterpieces do not necessarily provide enjoyable reading,because changing times and changing tastes have robbed them of their savour.Reading these masterpieces demands an effort of will,which has been proved by the authors own
