前言

　　弗朗西斯·培根曾在他那著名的《論讀書》一文中指出：讀書使人充實(shí)（reading makes a full man），中國也有二句古諺：一為：“書讀百遍，其義自現(xiàn)”。二為：“熟讀唐詩三百首，不會(huì)作詩也會(huì)吟。”培根強(qiáng)調(diào)的是“讀書”（閱讀）與人生，而后二者強(qiáng)調(diào)的是“閱讀”與“理解”、與“寫作”（創(chuàng)作）的關(guān)系。不論怎樣三者都突出強(qiáng)調(diào)了“讀書”（閱讀）的功用?！白x書”就其本質(zhì)而論就是“閱讀”，而“閱讀”又可分為“精讀”（intensive reading）、“泛讀”（extensive reading）、“跳讀”（skipping）、“掃讀”（scanning）和“快速閱讀”（fast reading）以及“朗讀”（reciting），也就是培根先生所說的some books are to be tasted，Others to be swallowed，and some few to be chewed and digested?！　W(xué)習(xí)一門外語，既需要“精讀”也需要“泛讀”，在某種意義上講，“泛讀”的多少?zèng)Q定了外語學(xué)習(xí)的成敗高低。顧名思義，“泛讀”就是泛泛而讀，它的目標(biāo)是通過大量的閱讀，拓寬視野，擴(kuò)大知識面，增加詞匯量，從而增強(qiáng)語感——而語感是學(xué)習(xí)外語最最重要的一個(gè)因素。

章節(jié)摘錄

　　But even though researchers knew their brightness could vary， they assumed that the overall ratio of different "wattages" remained constant over the history of the universe. Now， a new study led by Andrew Howell of the University of Toronto in Canada suggests that explosions in the early universe were brighter on average than those occurring today， casting doubt on their use as accurate distance gauges.　　High precision　　The team pored over data from the Supernova Legacy Survey and the Higher z Supernova Search. They found that brighter supernovae， which last longer than dimmer ones， were more common further back in time than they are today-a finding that may lend support to the notion that there are multiple ways to create the explosions.　　The researchers calculate that supernovae were on average 12% brighter 8 billion years ago than they are now.　　The effect is not large enough to prompt scientists to question the existence of dark energy. But it suggests that the corrections that have been used in the past to calculate a supernovas intrinsic brightness from its duration may limit the precision of future supernova surveys.　　That could severely hinder cosmologists understanding of dark energy， since high-precision observations are needed to find out whether the strength of dark energy has changed over time——a key to determining whether it is an unchanging property of space itself or a varying energy field.
