Everyone has experienced trying, but failing to master a difficult book that was begun with the hope of increasing one's understanding. When that happens, it is 36 to think that it was a mistake to try to read it, but that was not the mistake. The mistake was in 37 too much from the first reading of a(n) 38 book. If you read it in the right way, no book written for the 39 reader, no matter how difficult, need be a cause for despair(令人失望). What is the right method? The 40 is an important and helpful rule of reading that is either not 41 or often forgotten. That rule is simply this: when reading a difficult book for the first time, read it through without ever 42 to think about the things that you do not understand immediately. Do not be stopped by what you 43 understand. Read through the difficult 44 ,and you soon come to things that you do understand. Read these 45 .You will have a much better chance of understanding all of the book when you read it again, but that 46 you to have read the book through once 47 . What you understand by reading the book through to the 48 will help you when you try later to read the places that you did not 49 in your first reading. Or if you never re-read the book, understanding half of it is much better than understanding 50 of it, which will happen 51 you allow yourself to be stopped by the first difficult part of the book. Most of us were taught to 52 the things that we do not understand. We were told to find the 53 of unfamiliar words, and to try to find an explanation in another 54 for anything that we did not understand in the book that we were reading. But when these things are done before the proper time, they only 55 our reading, instead of helping it. 36. A. necessary B. useful C. natural D. effective 37.
