One summer evening I was sitting by the open window, reading a good science storybook. I was so 1 the story I was reading that I didn't 2 that it was getting dark. When I realized that it was too dark for me to read 3 , I put the book down and got up to turn on the light. Just then I heard someone 4 , "Help! Help!" It seemed to come from the trees at the end of the yard. I looked out but it was too dark to 5 anything clearly. Almost immediately I heard the cry again.

I entered high school having read hundreds of books. But I was not a good reader. Merely bookish,
I lacked a point of view when I read. Rather, I read in order to get a point of view. I searched books for
good expressions and sayings, pieces of information, ideas, themes-anything to enrich my thought and
make me feel educated. When one of my teachers suggested to his sleepy tenth-grade English class that
a person could not have a"complicated (復(fù)雜的) idea" until he had read at least two thousand books, I
heard the words without recognizing either its irony (嘲諷) or its very complicated truth. I merely
determined to make a list of all the books I had ever read. Strict with myself, I included only once a title
I might have read several times. (How, after all, could one read a book more than once?) And I included
only those books over a hundred pages in length. (Could anything shorter be a book?)
There was yet another high school list I made. One day I came across a newspaper article about an
English professor at a nearby state college. The article had a list of the"hundred most important books
of Western Civilization.""More than anything else in my life, " the professor told the reporter with finality,"
these books have made me all that I am." That was the kind of words I couldn't ignore (忽視). I kept the
list for the several months it took me to read all of the titles. Most books, of course, I hardly understood.
While reading Plato's The Republic, for example, I needed to keep looking at the introduction of the book
to remind myself what the text was about. However, with the special patience and superstition (迷信) of
a schoolboy, I looked at every word of the text. And by me time I reached the last word, pleased, I
persuaded myself that I had read The Republic, and seriously crossed Plato off my list.
