(#11) Week of June 4- 英语阅读训练组

阅读小组训练第十一周开始了，有关此次训练活动的初衷，请猛戳这里
前几周发起了阅读训练小组素材推荐的活动，我把版里已有的/训练小组同学正在阅读的，都总结到了素材推荐的一楼，欢迎大家继续推荐，请猛戳这里

参与的形式还是不变，希望已经参与的同学继续坚持并保持/提升阅读速度，观望的同学速速加入欢迎大家跟贴交流阅读感受。



===========================我是copy的分割线=============================================

参与形式：copy自己觉得好的句子，注明page number贴出来。同时最重要的，作为练习，必须把这个句法应用在自己生活的场景里面，也写出来。几乎天天都有汇报进度的话，会比较容易坚持。参见隔壁战拖组，凡是一个人单打独斗的，至少是帖子都没有follow下去，计划是否完成旁人就不知道了。跟组的看起来是坚持的要好些。

跟战拖组一样，每人一周只许占1楼，所有讨论集中在一个贴（这里）。一周内每日更新在自己的楼里，每完成一周一个学分。自己选的书或者指定书都可以，但是4周内必须完成（否则也太慢了）。全部学时完成的，还有1学分奖励。


3/26 周一开始吧，争取4周完成一本。任选1本开始就可以。不过大家都读同一本，争取match进度也不错，免得没有监督难以维持。这点暂时随意吧。

============================================================================



暂时就是这些规矩。有其他书推荐的话，下一个学习组里面用。其他建议welcome

占楼~
本周计划读书：W. Somerset Maugham 的 The Summing Up
以前读书太懒，好玩的故事情节enjoy了一番回头就忘了；有精妙的句子也就当时赞叹一下回头也忘了。做笔记是王道啊~
占楼自勉~

Thinking, fast and slow


P9
“It is much easier to strive for perfection when you are never bored. Perhaps most important, we checked our critical weapons at the door.”
这里check的意思是 get rid of么?
eg.
Check your negative attitude at the door.

“We were sufficiently similar to understand each other easily, and sufficiently different to surprise each other.”
eg.
They are sufficient similar to remind me of their common education background, and sufficiently different to represent two contrary living attitudes.

P12
“I hope you had such an experience as you read the question about Steve the librarian, which was intended to help you appreciate the power of resemblance as a cue to probability and to see how easy it is to ignore relevant statistical facts.”
eg.
He sees the sequence of the events as a cue to causality, and ignores the whole logic chain.

P14
“We focused on biases, both because we found them interesting in their own right and because they provided evidence for the heuristics of judgment.”
eg.
He loves physics, both because he finds it interesting in its own right and because it provides an elegant explanation of the world surrounding us.

p15
“The executive’s decision would today be described as an example of the affect heuristic, where judgments and decisions are guided directly by feelings of liking and disliking, with little deliberation or reasoning.”
eg.
His decision would be described as an example of the affect heuristic, where judgments are based on the first sight impression, with little deliberation or examination.

20.Wind rustled the leaves of the big walnut tree outside my house.

21.The mother’s response was automatic-it was like knocking her knee with a rubberhammer.

22.His face wascreased with panic.
