If you have difficulty deciding on your book list, the ideas shared by some great talents might help you out.

Read books from eras past // Alert Einstein

Keeping up with current events and latest books from the bestseller list is a big job,but Albert Einstein thought

it was vital to leave some room for older works,too.Otherwise,you’d be “completely dependent on the prejudices

and fashions of your times,” he wrote in a 1952 journal article.

“Somebody who reads only newspapers and at best books of contemporary authors looks to me like an

extremely near-sighted person who scorns(拒绝)eyeglasses，”he wrote.

Don’t jump too quickly from book to book //Seneca

Seneca, a first-century Roman Stoic philosopher, believed that reading too wide a variety in too short a time

would keep the teachings from leaving a lasting impression on you.“You must spend much time among a limited

number of master thinkers,if you would gain ideas which shall win firm hold in your mind,” he wrote.

Shop at secondhand bookstores/Virginia Woolf

In her essay “Street Haunting,” Virginia Woolf described the benefits of shopping in secondhand

bookstores,where the works “have come together in vast flocks of various feather, and have a charm which the

carefully chosen books of the library lack.”

According to Woolf,looking through used books gives you the chance to come across something that wouldn’t

have risen to the attention of librarians and booksellers,who are often much more selective in building their

collections than secondhand bookstore owners.

You can skip outdated science works,but not old literature // Edward Lytton

19th-century British novelist and Parliamentarian Edward Lytton was a firm believer in the value of reading

old literature.

“In science,read,by preference,the newest works;in literature,the oldest,” he wrote in his 1863 essay

collection,Caxtoniana.“The classic literature is always modem.New books revive and redecorate old ideas; old

books suggest and invigorate new ideas.”

In life，once on a path，we tend to follow it，for better or worse.What's sad is that even if it's the latter，we

often accept it anyway because we are so used to the way things are that wed don't even recognize that they could

be different This is a phenomenon psychologist call functional fixedness.

This classic experiment will give you an idea of how it works and a sense of whether you may have fallen into

the same trap: People are given a box of tacks (大头钉) and some matches and asked to find a way to attach a

candle to a wall so that it burns properly.

Typically, the subjects try tacking the candle to the wall or lighting it to fix it with melted wax. The

psychologists had, of course, arranged it so that neither of these obvious approaches would work. The tacks are too

short, and the paraffin (石蜡) doesn't stick to the wall. So how can you complete the task? The successful technique

is to use the tack box as a candle-holder. You empty it, tack it to the wall. and stand the candle inside it. To think of

that, you have to look beyond the box's usual role as a receptacle just for tacks and re-imagine it serving an entirely

new purpose. That is difficult because we all suffer to one degree or another from functional fixedness.

The inability to think in new ways affects people in every corner of society. The political theorist Hannah

Arendt coined the phrase“frozen thoughts”to describe deeply held ideas that we no longer question but should. In

Arendt's eyes, the self- content reliance on such accepted “truths”also made people blind to ideas that didn't fit their

worldview, even when there was plenty of evidence for them.

Frozen thinking has nothing to do with intelligence, she said,“It can be found in highly intelligent people.”

4. What does the underlined word“it”in paragraph 2 refer to?

A. The experiment. B. Functional fixedness.

C. The path. D. The thinking.

5. Which way is hard to think of to complete the task?

A. Tacking the candle to the wall.

A new study says electronic toys are not helping babies learn.

“Even if companies are marketing them as educational, they’re not teaching the babies anything at this time,”

said the study’s author, Anna Sosa. She is a Northern Arizona University professor who heads the school’s Child

Speech and Language Lab.

Sosa and her fellow researchers listened to audio recordings of parents playing with their babies-aged 10

months to 16 months. There searchers compared the experiences when the children played with electronic toys,

traditional toys such as blocks, or when the children looked at books.

What they found is that parents talked less with their babies when the babies played with electronic toys.

“The parents talked less, responded less and used fewer content specific words,” Sosa said. Why is this

important?

Sosa said research shows that how quickly children develop language is often based on what they hear from

parents. When the infants played with electronic toys, parents said little to their children. But with traditional toys,
