问题    There is distinction between reading for information and reading for understanding. 【B1】______

   The first sense is the one in which we read newspapers, magazines, or anything else. 【B2】______
   Such materials may increase our store of information, but they cannot improve our understanding. And clearly we don’ t have any difficulty in gaining the new information, for our understanding was equal to them before we started. Otherwise, we would have felt the shock of puzzlement.
   The second sense is the one in which we read something that at first we do not completely understand. Here the thing to be read is at the first sight better or higher than the reader. The writer is communicating something that can increase the reader ’ s understanding.【B3】______Otherwise, one person could never learn from another. Here "learning" means understanding more, not remembering more information.
   What are the conditions in this kind of reading? First, there is inequality in understanding.【B4】______Besides, his book must convey something he possesses and his potential readers lack. Second, the reader must be able to overcome this inequality in some degree. And he should always try to reach the same level of understanding with the writer. If the equality is approached, success of communication is achieved.
   【B5】______ It is the least demanding and requires the least amount of effort. Everyone who knows how to read can read for entertainment if he wants to. In fact, any book that can be read for understanding or information can probably be read for entertainment as well.
