When students complete a book，they consider the job of reading done.When they are asked what they have got from the book，quite a few of them can give you some information about the plot.But if we ask them more detailed questions，they have nothing to say.In fact，that is not what a good reader is supposed to do.
   To be a good reader，firstly，is to know the background.We need knowledge of the life story of the writer，the culture and society in which the story takes place.Otherwise，it is hardly possible for us to better understand the book or the theme.
   Then，we start to read the book.A good reader will not stop because he has already made a good preparation.He goes through the whole book from beginning to end instead of reading off and on.
   Next comes an important step --- read the book once again and take notes when there is something impresses（使人印象深刻）us deeply.It helps us get close to the mind of the writer.Many students underestimate（低估）the importance of taking notes.They say that they can understand the writer without taking notes.It is true that it brings us some trouble of writing，but it also gives us a lot of ideas of our own at the same time.
   Finally，a good reader needs to write a book report.It is a time when we can sum up all our thoughts and turn them into a report.We start to think of the characters，the plots and the theme.Some say it is not interesting but in fact it is full of fun if we do it.Producing something of our own is really wonderful because we are on our way to be better than a good reader.
   All of us move our eyes back and forth from words sentences to paragraphs.However，as a good reader，we learn much more from reading one book carefully than we do from reading ten roughly（粗略地）.
