first, from8a little story to see the Jews reading
1. In every Jewish family, soon after the birth of the child, the mother will read the Bible to him. And after each reading, let the child lick the honey. When the child is a little older, the mother takes out the Bible, drops a little honey on it, and asks the child to lick the honey from the Bible, which is self-evident: The book is as sweet as honey.
2. In the history of Jewish schools, there is a tradition in which newly enrolled primary school students are required to wear new clothes and be led by priests or learned persons to the classroom. There was a clean slate with a few lines of Hebrew letters written with honey and a simple bible sentence on the slate. Then let the children read the letters and lick the honey from the slate, and then the honey cakes, apples and walnuts to eat-all to make them taste sweet at the beginning of their learning Fameng.
3, through the ages, the children of the Jewish family, almost all have to answer the question: "If one day your house is burnt down, your property is robbed, you will carry something to escape?" "If the child answers money or diamonds, the mother will further ask:" There is no shape, no color, no smell of the baby, do you know what is it? "If the child cannot answer, the mother will say," Son, you are not to take money, not diamonds, but wisdom. Because wisdom is no one can rob, you just live, wisdom will always follow you. ”

Jews love books but never burn books, even if they are attacking Jews, they may not look, but not destroy. Moreover, the book damaged must be repaired. When the ancient Jews saw the books so shabby that they could not see them again, they dug a hole to bury the book solemnly, and their children were always involved. They said to the child: "Books are the things of human life." ”

Iii. methods of efficient reading of Jews
1, good at collecting learning materials. They collect the information they want to learn, including books, magazines, newspapers, literature, tapes, and information on the web, according to their learning objectives.
2, to determine the information of intensive reading, to read and read thoroughly.
3, according to the scope of the study of extensive reading, to take a broad collection of the effect of Bo.
4, borrow other people's brains "reading". People want to learn a lot of content, and time is very limited, to solve this contradiction, in addition to their own efforts, but also by the amount of others. For example, some need to learn and understand the books, materials to subordinates have a certain quality of people to read, let him read through the core content and the essentials to tell themselves. After listening to his introduction, if you find that there is a need to further understand, you have to focus on reading.
