Passage 2
Criticism is judgment. A critic is a judge. A judge must study and think about the material presented to him, accept it, correct it or reject it after, thinking over what he has read, watched or heard.
That sort of critical reading might well be called creative reading because I am thinking along with the writer, asking him questions, seeing whether he answers the questions and how well he answers them. I mark the good passages to store them in my memory and ask myself about every other part and about the complete piece of writing where, how and why could or should I improve upon it?
Don’t believe those who say that bad reading cannot hurt a person. How do they know what will hurt others? Wouldn’t you rather believe the experience of the ages that says, “A man is what he has read” and “Our reading and studies carry over into our lives”?
Let’s get back to the beneficial effects of thinking while reading. It helps us to enlarge our minds. We understand more about the universe, its people and many of its wonders. We learn to think and observe in new ways. We certainly do get a feeling for the language we are reading. All good writers in any language have been readers who read critically and creatively and continuously.
Reading, critically also helps me to develop and refine my emotions to the point where I can tell whether a report, a story or a poem is genuinely humane (高尚的) or not – whether the writer is an honest writer.
Finally, reading will and must broaden (扩宽) my sympathies, expand my love for others and set it in action. How can a person who has a bit of kindness in his heart read about all the miseries and tragedies that people and notions have and not want to do and actually do what he can to relieve those people in every way he can and as much as he can?
