28、e.On Sept 14,the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada announced that scientists havedetected phosphine(磷化氢)in the clouds of Venus.Phosphine is a colorless,toxic gas that has anodor of garlic.Though toxic,it is viewed as a possible sign of life because on Earth the gas ismade by microorganisms that l

37、 to discourage slow,immersive reading.Reading on a screen,particularly aphone screen,tires your eyes and makes it harder for you to keep your place.So online writingtends to be more skimmable and list-like than print.The cognitive neuroscientist Mary Waltargued recently that this“new norm”of skim re

38、ading is producing“an invisible,game-changingtransformation”in how readers process words.The neuronal circuit that sustains the brainscapacity to read now favors the rapid absorption of information,rather than skills developed bydeeper reading,like critical analysis.We shouldnt overplay this danger.

39、All readers skim.Skimming is the skill we acquire aschildren as we learn to read more skillfully.From about the age of nine,our eyes start to bouncearound the page,reading only about a quarter of the words properly,and filling in the gaps byinference.Nor is there anything new in these fears about de

40、clining attention spans.So far,theanxieties have proved to be false alarms.“Quite a few critics have been worried about attention第 6页（共 10 页）span lately and see very short stories as signs of cultural decline,”the American author SelvinBrown wrote.“No one ever said that poems were evidence of short

43、else.Everyone talks over the top of everyone else,desperate to be heard.Perhaps we should slow down.Reading is constantly promoted as a social good and sourceof personal achievement.But this advocacy often emphasizes“enthusiastic”,“passionate”or“eager”reading,none of which adjectives suggest slow,qu

44、iet absorption.To a slow reader,a piece of writing can only be fully understood by immersing oneself in thewords and their slow comprehension of a line of thought.The slow reader is like a swimmer whostops counting the number of pool laps he has done and just enjoys how his body feels and movesin wa

45、ter.The human need for this kind of deep reading is too tenacious for any new technology todestroy.We often assume that technological change cant be stopped and happens in one direction,so that older media like“dead-tree”books are kicked out by newer,more virtual forms.In practice,older technologies

46、 can coexist with new ones.The Kindle has not killed off the printed book anymore than the car killed off the bicycle.We still want to enjoy slowly-formed ideas andcarefully-chosen words.Even in a fast-moving age,there is time for slow reading.32How does the author feel towards Selvin Browns opinion
