(#14) Week of June 25 - 英语阅读训练组

阅读小组训练第十四周开始了，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

<Country Driving>  (451-589/589) #14 Week of June 25th
37. But authority had become so decentralized that rules were hard to enforce.
38. All of it- the high population, the lack of social institutions, the slowness of educational reform-combines to dull the edge of innovation.
39.In factory towns, the most common attitudes toward the government range from scorn to complete disinterest.
40. All she wanted to talk about was tomorrow-new jobs, new plans, new lives, everything that seemed promised by the thrill of rushing time.

Peter Hessler的中国三部曲终于看完了。我个人觉得还是《River Town》最有意思。Oracle Bone思辨最强。《Country Driving》可能是topic的缘故，觉得没有太精彩

Wresting with the complexity of Everyday life
consciousness precedes choice.

to the contrary, it multiples the options.

to most people, vocation simply means what one does for a living, one's occupation or career.
The secular definition of vocation usually implies only income-producing activity.
The religious definition, however, is more literal and yet far more complex.
"Vocation" literally menas calling.

The choice of emptiness.
Death is the ultimate emptiness. We are terrified of the void of death even if we believe we will come out the other side.yet we don't know what the other side will be like.

the only problem with the word interdependence is that to some it may suggest "codependency".
codependency refers to a relationship in which the partners cater to and thereby encourage each other's weakness.
