When we think about giving help to developing countries, we often think about giving money so that these countries can build schools and hospitals, buy food and medicine, or find clean water supplies. These seem to be the most important basic needs of the people we are trying to help. However, it's far from enough. Ladies and gentlemen, we've got to come up with some better ideas to help them. I was very surprised, then, when I read about a plan to make cheap laptop computers for children in developing countries.

When that happens, it is    16   to think that it was a mistake to try to read it, but that was not the mistake. The mistake was in    17    too much from the first reading of a(n)   18   book. If you read it in the right way, no book written for the    19    reader, no matter how difficult, need be a cause for despair (绝望).      What is the right method? The    20    is an important and helpful rule of reading that is either not known or often forgotten. That rule is simply this: when reading a difficult book for the first time, read it through without ever    21    to think about the things that you do not understand immediately.      Do not be stopped by what you can't understand. Read through the difficult    22   , and you’ll soon come to things that you do understand. Read these    23   . You will have a much better chance of understanding all of the book when you read it again, but that    24    you to have read the book through once    25   .      What you understand by reading the book through to the   26    will help you when you try later to read the places that you did not    27    in your first reading. Or if you never re-read the book, understanding half of it is much better than understanding nothing of it, which will happen if you allow yourself to be stopped by the first difficult part of the book.      Most of us were taught to    28    the things that we do not understand. We were told to find the   29   of unfamiliar words, and to try to find an explanation in another    30    for anything that we did not understand in the book that we were reading. But when these things are done before the proper time, they only harm our reading, instead of helping it. 16.
