【T1】In reading, it is useful to propose to ourselves definite ends and purposes.【T2】The more distinctly we are aware of our own wants and desires in reading, the more definite and permanent our learning will be. Hence it is a good rule to ask ourselves frequently, "Why am I reading this book?"or "Why am I reading it at the present time rather than at any other?" 【T3】The answer may be that it is convenient: that the book happens to be at hand: or that we read to pass away the time.【T4】Such reasons are often very good, but they ought not always to satisfy us.【T5】Yet the very habit of asking ourselves these questions, however they may be answered, will help us read effectively.
