There is an old proverb “The writer creates half the text; the reader creates the other half”. The statement is quite apt and very clear to clarify the fact that is very important aspect of education. Conversation, experience, reading and observation are the ways by which an individual . And so it is clear that process of learning is without reading.
A very suitable example fitting in this context is from our evolution. We have different ages, from Stone Age to Iron Age and from iron to space age, just by reading the hand 45 articles of our own ancestors and learning their mistakes.
When we the pages of dictionary or search for a literal definition of “Reading”, we will find that it actually is a way of words attainment for active communication, and for ideas and information.

Three packs of cigarettes were lying there on the pavement. I went down from Shubentsov’s office doorstep, picked them up and pocketed them. Later, in a bar, when I opened the first pack, I found – to my – the twenty cigarettes were there.
I’m still at the bar, telephone in one and the cigarettes in the other. I’m dialing Shubentsov, who told me to call him the moment I felt the urge to . I feel it, feel it even than I felt Shubentsov’s healing(恢复) energy. That’s saying something, since Shubentsov is known around the world for smokers of their nasty habit, using a method. He sent his healing energy from his fingertips, he tells me – something he picked up from another man in Russia. "I help you for free," he told me in his muddy accent. "Just call me ."
I went to see Shubentsov. I think it’s time to because I’m getting old, and I can’t keep doing this to myself. But here’s the real problem. I should quit, but like a lot of you with the same habit, I really don’t want to.
Smoking has been very good to me. Cigarettes have never let me down, never abandoned me on , desperate nights. Smoking my head, helps me . Smoking has started conversations, driven away annoying people. Smoking helps me celebrate victories, get over losses, and comfort the comfortless. It also chases away the mosquitoes.
I will . Soon. My body and my mind are demanding that daily.
I claim to smoke for pleasure, but I realize that slowly I’m losing control of this close, special friend. I that. I realize it’s not just a "habit". I’m .
So here I am, attempting to again, at Shubentsov’s place. I’ve tried all the other quitting techniques . Anytime the urges to smoke , he said, just call him immediately and he’ll help. The funny thing is that I realize I’m not phoning him to stop me from lighting up. I’m phoning him so I can. If I call, I’ll have done my part. Then I can smoke this cigarette. Besides, I know that at 9.30 on a Friday night, I’ll get the answering machine. I do. "The office is open from ten to four. Call me back then. This machine does not take messages."
I put the phone down and I can honestly say I’m . You see, it’s not Shubentsov’s fault or anyone else’s fault that I’m still . It’s mine.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to smoke this cigarette. Whether I’ll really enjoy it, though, is another story.

It made me feel quite miserable(愁苦的，不幸的). Then one day while I was waiting for the postman I saw that I had a postcard in my box. Happily I sat down to read it, that it was from one of my friends. it was of a young woman called Annie and her new baby. I took the card back to my room, put it into my desk drawer and all about it.
Several days later, I another postcard. This time it was about Antonio, Annie’s cousin. Soon later, another card came and then another, full of interesting information about people I had met. I began to really look forward to them, to see what the writer would next. They made me feel unhappy with my own life and I even began to smile. while the cards coming, I joined some societies and made some new friends. At last I was beginning to enjoy life. The postcards had made me feel happy and helped me begin a new life so I all the cards and even now bring them out I feel miserable.
