33、rkable transformation of human consciousness, which took place around the 10th century AD: the arrival of silent reading. Human beings have been reading for thousands of years, but in ancient times, the normal thing was to read aloud. With the arrival of silent reading, Manguel writes, the reader wa

34、s at last able to establish an unrestricted relationship with the book and the words. The words no longer needed to occupy the time required to pronounce them. The readers thoughts inspected them at leisure, drawing new ideas from them, allowing comparisons from memory or from other books.To read si

35、lently is to free your mind to reflect, to remember, to question and compare. The cognitive scientist Maryanne Wolf calls this freedom “the secret gift of time to think”. A thousand years later, critics fear that digital technology has put this gift in danger. The Internets flood of information, tog

36、ether with the distractions of social media, threatens to overwhelm the space of reading, leaving us in what the journalist Nicholas Carr has called “the shallows”. In Carrs view, the “endless, tempting buzz” of the Internet endangers our very being: “One of the greatest dangers we face,” he writes,

37、 “as we give up control over the flow of our thoughts and memories to a powerful electronic system, is a slow damage to our humanness and our humanity.”Theres no question that digital technology presents challenges to the reading brain. But seen from a historical perspective, digital reading and sil

38、ent reading look like differences of degree, rather than of kind. To the extent that digital reading represents something new, its potential cuts both ways. Done badly, the Internet reduces us to mindless clickers, racing numbly to the bottom of a bottomless feed; but done well, it has the potential

39、 to expand the very contemplative (沉思的) space that we have prized in ourselves ever since we learned to read without moving our lips.In the fifth century BC, Socrates worried that writing would weaken human memory, and stifle(扼杀) judgment. In fact, as Wolf notes in her 2007 book Proust and the Squid

40、: the Story and Science of the Reading Brain, the opposite happened: Faced with the written page, the readers brain develops new capacities.The Internet may cause our minds to wander off, and yet a quick look at the history of books suggests that we have been wandering off all along. When we read, t

41、he eye does not progress steadily along the line of text; it alternates between saccades little jumpsand brief stops, not unlike the movement of the mouses cursor across a screen of hypertext.Its true that studies have found that readers given text on a screen do worse on recall and comprehension te

42、sts than readers given the same text on paper. But a 2015 study by the German educator Johannes Naumann suggests the opposite. He gave a group of high-school students the job of tracking down certain pieces of information on websites; he found that the students who regularly did research online were

43、 better at this task than students who used the Internet mostly to send email, chat, and blog.A new generation of digital writers prefers to include interactive features. The 2014 iPad novel, Pry, tells the story of a demolition(爆破) expert returning home from the first Gulf War. The story is told in

44、 text, photographs, video clips, and audio. It uses an interface(界面) that allows you to follow the action and shift between levels of awareness. As you read text on the screen, describing characters and plot, you draw your fingers apart and see a photograph of the chief character, his eyes opening o

45、n the world. Pinch your finger shut and you visit his troubled unconscious; words and images race by, as if you are inside his memory. Pry is the opposite of a shallow work; its whole play is between the surface and the depths of the human mind. Reading it is stimulating.1、In Alberto Manguels opinio

A few minutes later your boss appears at your desk. “Weve noticed that youre spending more time on Linkedln lately, so I wanted to talk with you about your career

52、and whether youre happy here,” she says. Uh-oh.Its an awkward scene.
