 智能时代我们丧失的能力

Reading comprehension

阅读理解的能力

The primary culprits are E-readers. They're convenient and can store thousands of books.

 

There's also evidence that their format¹ makes it more difficult for users to retain and recall information they just read.

 

Don't worry, there's no need to give up your e-reader! What we should do is make an effort to read printed books. This will be especially helpful when perusing² information we need for academic or career purposes.

 

1 format   

n.设计，版式；[计算机]格式，DOS命令:格式化(磁盘)，用于空盘或使用过的磁盘建立新空盘来存储数据；v.使格式化，设计，安排

参考例句：

• Please format this floppy disc.请将这张软盘格式化。
• The format of the figure is very tasteful.该图表的格式很雅致。

2 perusing   

v.读（某篇文字）( peruse的现在分词 )；（尤指）细阅；审阅；匆匆读或心不在焉地浏览（某篇文字）
