In Japan, there is a college entrance examination student named Nishioka Issei who is studying in an ordinary college. His academic performance was very poor, but he made an impossible plan to get into the best university in the country - the University of Tokyo.
He repeated his studies for two years, but he always failed. But he refused to admit defeat. Why can others do it but not me? So, he began to study the entrance examination questions of Dongda University and discovered the secret.
After that, he not only easily entered the University of Tokyo with excellent results, ranking 4th in the country, but also became the editor-in-chief of the Tokyo University magazine. So, how did he counterattack from a scumbag to a top student?
The answer lies in the book "How to Read High Scores". This book is not only suitable for school students, but also for people who like reading. The 6 reading rules and 57 reading points in the book teach us how to truly understand a book.
01 Can you really read?
I wonder if you have this experience? There are piles of books at home, and I have taken a lot of notes. But as soon as I put down the book, my head is empty and I have not remembered anything in the book.
As time goes by, the books I once read become so unfamiliar, as if they have never been opened. There is a joke that applies here, and it is not an exaggeration: "The books we read are all eaten with food."
We spend no less time reading than others. I took notes very carefully while reading, but why did I forget everything after reading?
Aren’t we born to be academics?
In fact, in the final analysis, we have not mastered the method of reading. The reason why top students study better than us and have better memory than us is not because they are smart, but because they use the "High Score Reading Method".
Nishioka Issei said in "High Score Reading Method": "The purpose of studying hard is not to increase the amount of knowledge, but to have the ability to think independently!"
No matter Whether it is studying or reading, if we just blindly cram into learning without changing our habitual thinking and improving our reading comprehension. Then, no matter how hard we try, all we will do is "useless work."
02 Change your reading habits and become an "active" reader
Many people believe that reading means reading carefully from beginning to end, word for word. But why can’t we remember the content of a book after spending hours or even days reading it?
The reason is that our current reading method is "passive reading method". To put it simply, we open a book and read whatever is in the book.
What is the difference between reading without thinking and reading for children? If the method is wrong and the thinking does not change, then no matter how hard we try, we will only stand still.
After Issei Nishioka discovered this problem, he began to change his reading habits from a passive reader to an active reader. In the end, unexpectedly, he was admitted to the University of Tokyo with the 4th best score in Japan.
It can be seen that the difference between a poor student and a top student is not IQ, but a set of reading methods.
Issei Nishioka pointed out in "High Score Reading Method": "If we use the passive reading method, it is generally difficult for the content in the book to enter our memory. If we use the active reading method, the content in the book will It is easy for us to understand.”
Therefore, if we want to understand a book, we must abandon the previous passive reading method and become an active reader.
03 The “High-Score Reading Method” for Top Academics
Issei Nishioka pointed out in “High-Score Reading Method”: “If you don’t turn the information you read into knowledge , then reading loses its value.
”
The reason why top students have excellent academic performance is that they know how to absorb the knowledge in books.
So, how to read? How to thoroughly understand difficult articles? This requires us to improve our thinking and reading skills.
Nishioka Issei proposed in "High Score Reading Method" that as long as he masters the following five abilities, every poor student can easily become a top student. .
First, reading ability, that is, the ability to understand the content of an article quickly and accurately, and read the book thoroughly.
Second, understanding and thinking ability, that is, from a deeper level. The ability to understand articles and clearly grasp the context of the book.
Third, the ability to summarize other people’s opinions in simple words.
Fourth, the ability to think objectively. That is, the ability to examine the same thing from different angles and to understand people with different perspectives.
Fifth, application ability, that is, the ability to apply learned knowledge in specific situations and turn knowledge into knowledge. Our own abilities.
Fortunately, as long as we change our inherent reading methods and learn to think like a master, we can easily read a book and transfer the knowledge in it. Use it for your own use.
