• Even books needn't by waded through page by page to find something useful. In mere seconds you can turn to the index(usually at the end) and look for the several headings your issue might be found under; and turn to the appropriate pages and read only those pages. If the book has no index, you can turn to the table of contents, read the chapter titles, decide which chapters seem most relevant, and then scan them.
  即便是书本也不需要通过一页一页地来找到有用的东西。你可以在几秒钟内翻到索引页（通常在书末），你可能查找几个标题后找到你想要找的问题；然后翻到对应的页面，只读这些页；如果这本书没有索引，你可以翻到目录，阅读文章的标题，斟酌哪章看起来有关联，然后去浏览它；
