Reading comprehension involves one’s knowledge of the world. For instance, let’s think about what stopped the car in the following two sentences: “The policeman raised his hand and stopped the car” and “Superman raised his hand and stopped the car.” Your probable answer to this question is ‘legal authority’ in the first sentence and ‘magical power’ in the second one. Remember, however, that neither ‘legal authority’ nor ‘magical power’ is stated in either sentence. Then how do you know the answer? You know it because you use your background knowledge of the policeman and Superman in order to understand these two sentences.

My wife and I were at a friend’s house recently.
We noticed our friend talking on the phone while simultaneously answering the door, checking on dinner, and changing her baby’s diaper. Many of us do the same when we are speaking to someone and our mind is elsewhere. When this happens, we not only lose much of the enjoyment of what we are doing, but we also become far less focused and effective. To take this to an extreme, imagine yourself driving down the highway while shaving, drinking coffee, or reading the newspaper. You may be inviting an accident. When doing anything, just focus on what you are doing.
