文章快递

不想看我记录絮语废话的，直接移至末端英文版。

自打进入一月，群里就不停有人发消息说他们的快递收到了，然而我直到1.19才到家，也没收到发包裹的信息，不过自己也不着急，一是有其他事要做，二是我知道自己急也没用，三是自己每天都会必看三篇英文杂志，四是反正总归是会拿到的。

果不其然，就在昨天晚上，家里正在安装宽带时，手机有个电话打来，说是街上中学门口有个我的快递，本来我以为是给父亲买的手机，但顿下疑惑：官网上显示物流信息还没出库啊。

不过也还是喜出望外，给父亲打个电话说他手机回来了（他骑三轮电车去买猪肉了）。挂断后想到也可能是自己买的文章快递，不管怎样，先把网线问题解决好吧。问题是两根线的插入顺序问题，然后邻居家的网络电视也有问题，也是他们配送的，我去他们那里看着他们怎样解决的，本来想着以防自家电视以后出现什么问题。（之前就是刚安装好宽带，然后我把电视挪动到原来的位置，就不能用了，结果让几乎刚走的工作人员又来跑一趟，有个小小的问题而已。）事实证明是不会的，不一样的型号。

我回来后，父亲已经回来了，和他说可能是我买的文章快递，然后就开着电动三轮车去拿快递，我家仅有的交通工具，我们村也只有几户安装宽带，还好现在修了点路，出去门口的一段土路，大部分还是柏油路，这里距街上有三五公里吧，去街上一趟来回要半个多小时，路很顺畅，虽然天已黑。

途中顺便拐姥姥家一趟带去点东西，也恰好碰到了两位一年不见的表哥。

恩，上次回家时也是寒假，本来以为会像高中那样，不到半年家里就会盖起几座楼，但这次，家里依旧，只是，我由经历的事情，逐渐改变了许多。

想来之前自己真是顽童一枚，现在日渐内敛，该外漏时也毫不含糊。

回来陪父母赶了两次集，今天上午也是三点多才回来。带着文章报纸，断断续续看着，不曾想挑的第一篇文章就是关于阅读的。

Why can't we read anymore?

Or, can books save us from what digital does to our brains?

This article read pretty easy and useful and worth reflecting.

I find in life, though I know many great principles, I aways tend to forget them while losing into real situations.

Here the article talks about the phenomenon that fewer people read books peacefully while dealing with the digital distubs especially e-mails, though, finally, not being overcome.  The author also explained why and what is her/his anxiety, and the process trying to analyze and solve the problems.

Words not known:

relapse

recital

sneak

throb

wafer

bump

borne

dopamine

itch

ingrain

flattern

wean

detritus

gig

deplete

fiddle

piddle

I haven't looked up these words to dictionaries. The founder said he would put the two-dimensional codes  onto these printed papers, however, I find nothing. I will write a note with these words' meanings later.

There are two links containing a great many researches, which I alread threw them into my bookmarkets. Here they are:

http://librivox.org

and

http://pressbooks.com

 It is a long time since I clicked the  bookmarkets. Additionally, these days my phone never toughed all the other things including those rubbish information in the internet except for what I have cultivated the using English habbits.

Next are some of my questions for this article:

How to understand these sentences?

1.

I co-edited a book about the future of books.

the future of the books????

2.

The promise of new information compels your brain to seek out that dopamine rush.

compell your brain????

3.

Recent neuroscience confirms many of the things we suffers of digital overload know innately.

the things we suffers of digital overload know innately????

how should "know" here be understood?

And here are some of my notes:

be the change you want to

I have heard two times about this and am now comfirmed that this concept would change anyone's life.

I have a lot of routines.

CULTIVATING.

I've never read articles for half one month.

In fact, just a few days ago, I almost read all the materials I find in the internet, and of coures, I was in school then, so I squared my time and other issues and review for exams to read. But now, I find those never matters.What matters is your life, your families, your parents, your own matters.

Here are some adapted sentences whcih I feel they are pretty great or interestring.

There is no beautiful universe on the other side of the email refresh buton, and yet it's the call of that button that keeps pulling me out of the work I am doing, out of reading books I want to read.

And, there are, often, beautiful universes to be found on the other side of the cover of a book.

I can define a set of books that shaped me——intellectually, emotionally, spiritually. Books have always been an escape, a learning experience, a saviour, but beyond this, greater than this, certain books became, over time, a kind of glue that holds together my understanding of the world. I think of them as nodes of knowledge and emotion, nodes that knot together the fabric my self. Books for me anyway, hold together who I am.

Those who read own the world, and those who watch television lose it. -Werner Herzog.

There are no television shows that exist as nodes holding together my understanding of the world. My relationship to television is just not the same as it is to books.

Without a tempting digital device near at hand ..... there was time and space for my mind to settle into a book.

all is done.

I guess next time, next passage I won't have so much time to write so many words and could square time to type word by word of the notes of the passage.
