If you want to become a good writer, read good writing. Unluckily, you may not have understood what did good to you and even what you were supposed to get from that experience.As you start reading a book, poem, or story, do so with no thought at all and the experience will improve your writing. you may not have understood what did good to you and even what you were supposed to get from that experience. Or to learn. As you progress through the work, think about whether it is “easy” reading or not. Do you become so interested in the subject and flow of the writing that you completely forget the person who wrote it, or does the composition sometimes call too much attention to itself through words and phrases that seem out of place or unexpected? The second situation is a chance to learn from the writers mistakes. In fact, the reader should not have to worry about how a writer does “his thing” . he should be able to just enjoy and learn. Every time a word strikes you as poorly chosen, stop to consider why it has this effect. Also, do not spend a lot of time analyzing (分析) the passage but put more efforts in enjoying it from the whole.Another thing I do, particularly with nonfiction (非小说) books, is to select a part to read as if it is a completely separate work. Once again, read as a common reader rather than a critic (批评家). For learning how words and phrases work together on the most basic level, however, nothing is more suitable than devoting yourself to reading poems. A poet is often trying to put a books worth of meaning and feelings into lines, and every side of the work shows a very close attention to craft (工艺).As you can see, there is no simple way of reading to improve your writing. The key is not to make it boring. Select writers you admire or like most, and enjoy their works as anyone else would. As long as you are reading, you are improving yourself as a writer.Improving Your Writing by ReadingFactsReading good writing _you become a good writer.You dont understand the_of reading and what to get from reading.WaysRead not to learn but for _.1) Develop a great _in the subject and flow of the writing.2) Learn from the writers _if possible.3) _shouldnt be spent in analyzing the passage but in enjoying the passage from the whole.Read as a common consumer rather than a critic._yourself to reading poems and enjoy the lines.ConclusionsDont make yourself _with reading.Select your _writers and enjoy their works.You are sure to make_during reading.24. （5分）信息归纳 （本题共5小题，每小题1分，共5分） 请阅读下面内容，根据所提供的信息完成信息卡，并把答案写在答题卡指定的位置上。Hello!
