How to be a demanding reader
The rules for reading yourself to sleep are easier to follow than are the rules for staying awake while reading. Get into bed in a comfortable position, make sure the light is 【1】 enough to cause slight eyestrain, choose a book that is either terribly difficult or terribly boring-in any event, one that you do not really care whether you read or not-and you will be asleep in a few minutes. Those who are experts in relaxing with a book do not have to wait for 【2】. A comfortable chair in the library will do any time.
Unfortunately, the rules for keeping awake do not consist in doing just the 【3】. It is possible to keep awake while reading in a comfortable chair or even in bed, and people have been known to 【4】 their eyes by reading late in light too dim. What kept the famous 【5】readers awake? One thing certainly—it made a difference to them, a great difference, whether or not they read the book they had in hand.
Whether you manage to keep awake or not depends in large part on your goal in reading. If your aim in reading is to profit from it—to 【6】 somehow in mind or spirit—you have to keep awake. That means reading as actively as possible. It means making an effort—an effort for which you expect to be 【7】.
Good books, fiction or nonfiction, deserve such reading. To use a good book as a helper to fall asleep is pure waste. To fall asleep or, what is the same, to let your mind wander during the hours you planned to devote to reading for profit—that is, 【8】 for understanding—is clearly to defeat your own 【9】.
But the sad fact is that many people who can distinguish between profit and pleasure—between understanding, on the one hand, and entertainment or the mere satisfaction of curiosity, on the other hand—nevertheless 【10】 to carry out their reading plans. They can’t make it even if they know which books give which. The reason is that they do not know how to be demanding readers, how to keep their mind on what they are doing by making it do the work without which no profit can be earned.

Gender equality has powerful potential to improve the economy, security and the overall well-being of a population.
“If the world closed the gender gap in workforce【1】, global [Gross Domestic Product] would increase by 28 trillion dollars by 2025... That’s about a quarter of the world’s current GDP, and almost half of the world’s current debt,” said U.S. Ambassador-at-Large for Global Women’s Issues Catherine Russell in a recent speech. She also noted that “studies have found that countries with less gender inequality are more secure, and peace 【2】last longer when women are at the negotiating table.”
Nonetheless, no country in the world can 【3】that it has achieved full gender equality.
“Around the world, women are vastly 【4】in politics and the workforce, particularly in leadership positions and other high-paying jobs,” said Ambassador Russell. At the same time, women make up the majority of the poor. “I’ve heard people say that poverty has a 【5】face, and that makes sense when you consider that women control just one-fifth of global wealth,” said Ambassador Russell.
World leaders are beginning to recognize that everyone benefits from 【6】gender equality, she said. This is why gender equality is part of U.S. foreign policy. A key part of U.S. efforts focus on educating and empowering girls. In the past 18 months, the United States 【7】its global strategy to empower adolescent girls, as well as Let Girls Learn, which is a Presidential initiative that focuses on educating girls.
We are also working with numerous countries to remove【8】that keep women from inheriting or owning property, entering the formal job market or accessing banking services.
“Gender equality sometimes looks like an impossible task —a 【9】without an end,” said Ambassador Russell. “But...we can make progress, and that progress is worth making. Little by little, discussion by discussion, step by step, we can improve the lives of women and girls, men and boys all around the world. And in doing so, we can reach our 【10】goals of peace, prosperity, and security.”
