With the popularity of mobile phones and other electronic devices, more and more e-book products are created and these products have brought convenience to many young readers. 【小题1】. If you’re interested in printed books, here are some benefits they bring about.

When people settle in to read the latest must-read novel in print, they don’t get those annoying notifications (通知) in electronic reading. “Unless you’ve taken the time to turn off all the notifications, a digital reader is designed to interrupt,” Baron says.

The authors of a June 2014 study published in Oxford Academics looked at data examining academic performance of 200,000-plus students in 42 nations taking the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) and reached the conclusion.

There are plenty of studies that show that reading on digital devices like phones and e-readers will negatively impact sleep.

In that way eyes and the mind have time to relax.

Educational trends come and go, so maybe the shift back to traditional books won’t last. But for the moment, I find myself standing at attention, relaxing my textbook-built shoulders and preparing for their glorious return.

I thought I was pretty good at teaching myself—until I read Tara Westover’s Educated. Her ability to learn on her own blows my right out of the water. I was thrilled to sit down with her recently to talk about the book.

Tara was raised in a Mormon survivalist home in rural Idaho. Her dad had very non mainstream views about the government. He believed doomsday was coming and that the family should interact with the health and education systems as little as possible. As a result, she didn’t step foot in a classroom until she was 17, and major medical crises went untreated. (Her mother suffered a brain injury in a car accident and never fully recovered).

Because Tara and her six siblings worked at their father’s junkyard from a young age, none of them received any kind of proper homeschooling. She had to teach herself algebra and self-studied for the ACT, which she did well enough on to gain admission to Brigham Young University. Eventually, she earned her doctorate in intellectual history from Cambridge University.

Educated is an amazing story and I get why it’s spent so much time on the top of the New York Times bestseller list. It reminded me in some ways of the Netflix documentary Wild. Wild Country, which I recently watched. Both explore people who remove themselves from society because they have these beliefs and knowledge that they think make them more enlightened. Their belief systems benefit from their separateness, and you’re forced to be either in or out.

But unlike Wild, Wild Country—which revels in the strangeness of its subjects. Tara is never cruel, even when she’s writing about some of her father’s most fringe beliefs. It’s clear that her whole family, including her mom and dad, is energetic and talented. Whatever their ideas are, they pursue them.

Tara’s process of self-discovery is beautifully captured in Educated. It’s the kind of book that I think everyone will enjoy, no matter what genre you usually pick up.

Once upon a time there was a little witch(女巫). She is still too young to be invited to Walpurgis Night, a party for all the witches of the land. But this year she decided to sneak(溜)in anyway, so what would be waiting for her?

It's bad news when you wake up in the morning and find you've lost your head, but such things happen. Instead of bearing it, the man who loses his head in this book is going to make himself a new one. . . So what will he do? Will he be saved by someone?
