大家都知道刘易斯·卡罗尔是《爱丽丝梦游仙境》的作者，但他也是一位数学家和逻辑学家，对人们的学习方式很感兴趣。博客Brain Pickings查看了Carroll开发的四个规则，您可以使用这些规则更好地阅读。

卡罗尔还写了一篇题为“如何学习”的文章，这篇文章收录在一本名为《科学中的随机漫步》的书中。在这篇文章中，卡罗尔为你描述了一种在阅读时培养批判性思维的方法：

1. Begin at the beginning, and do not allow yourself to gratify a mere idle curiosity by dipping into the book, here and there. This would very likely lead to your throwing it aside, with the remark "This is much too hard for me!, and thus losing the chance of adding a very large item to your stock of mental delights. This Rule (of not dipping) is very desirable with other kinds of books—-such as novels, for instance, where you may easily spoil much of the enjoyment you would otherwise get from the story, by dipping into it further on, so that what the author meant to be a pleasant surprise comes to you as a matter of course...
2. Don't begin any fresh Chapter, or Section, until you are certain that you thoroughly understand the whole book up to that point, and that you have worked, correctly, most if not all of the examples which have been set. So long as you are c***cious that all the land you have passed through is absolutely conquered, and that you are leaving no unsolved difficulties behind you, which will be sure to turn up again later on, your triumphal progress will be easy and delightful. Otherwise, you will find your state of puzzlement get worse and worse as you proceed, till you give up the whole thing in utter disgust.
3. When you come to any passage you don't understand, read it again: if you still don't understand it, read it again: if you fail, even after three readings, very likely your brain is getting a little tired. In that case, put the book away, and take to other occupati***, and next day, when you come to it fresh, you will very likely find that it is quite easy.
4. If possible, find some genial friend, who will read the book along with you, and will talk over the difficulties with you. Talking is a wonderful **oother-over of difficulties. When I come upon anything—in Logic or in any other hard subject—that entirely puzzles me, I find it a capital plan to talk it over, aloud, even when I am all alone. One can explain things so clearly to one's self! And then, you know, one is so patient with one's self: one never gets irritated at one's own stupidity!

这些规则可能看起来很简单，但它们涵盖了一些重要的基础知识，我们中的许多人表现得好像我们已经长大了，或者没有时间学习。如果你没有真正掌握所读的东西，阅读对你没有任何帮助。
