听力原文:W: Sir, you've been using the online catalogue for quite a while, Is there anything I can do to help you?
M: Well, I've got to write a paper about Hollywood in the 30s and 40s, and I'm really struggling. There are hundreds of books, and I just don't know where to begin.
W: Your topic sounds pretty big. Why don't you narrow it down to something like.., uh... the history of the studios during that time?
M: You know, I was thinking about doing that, but more than 30 books came up when I typed in "movie studios."
W: You could cut that down even further by listing the specific years you want. Try adding "1930s" or "1940s" or maybe "Golden Age."
M: "Golden Age" is a good idea. Let me type that in ... Hey, look, just 6 books this time. That's a lot better.
W: Oh... another thing you might consider.., have you tried looking for any magazine or newspaper articles?
M: No, I've only been searching for books.
W: Well, you can look up magazine articles in the Reader's Guide to Periodical Literature. And we do have the Los Angeles Times available over there. You might go through their indexes to see if there's anything you want.'
M: Okay, I think I'll get started with these books and then I'll go over the magazines.
W: If you need any help, I'll be over at the Reference Desk.
M: Great, thanks.

听力原文: Making marks on a hook is absolutely necessary for efficient reading. By writing with hand, marking can keep the reader awake and concentrating on his reading, improving his active thinking and help him remember the thoughts of himself and those expressed by the author. It is true that sometimes people read novels or short stories mainly for pleasure and relaxation. But a great book full of rich ideas and beautiful language usually raises and tries to answer some serious basic questions. And such books demand the most careful reading. Putting notes on books not only draws the readers' attention but also gives him a good memory of language and thoughts.
Someone might think that writing and marking in the course of reading will take much more time and slow down reading, it probably will, but reading speed is not a measure of intelligence. Some books should be read quickly and with little effort, while some should be read slowly and with a great effort. The sign of intelligence, in reading is the ability to read different books differently ac- cording to their value. The important point is not to see how much one can finish, but rather how much one has learned and made to be the readers' own knowledge.
