Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow.
2. READING HABIT
What exercise is to body, reading is to mind. There are
different purpose of reading. One of them is deriving
pleasure. Children, reading for their pleasure, rarely stop to
ask about the words. They want to get on with the story. If
the word is important, they can usually make a good guess
about what it is. "He drew an arrow from his quiver”. Easy
to see that quiver is some sort of gadget to put arrows in.
More complicated words they figure out by meeting them in
different contexts. People learn to read well and get good
vocabulary from books, not from work books or dictionaries.
As a kid I read years ahead of my age, but I never looked
words in dictionaries, and didn't even have a dictionary. In my lifetime I don't believe
I have looked even as many as fifty words. Most people don't know how dictionaries
are made. Each new dictionary starts from scratch. The company making the
dictionary employs thousands of 'editors', to each of whom they give a list of words.
The job of the editor is to collect as many examples as possible of the ways in which
these words are actually used. They look for the words in books, newspapers, and
so forth and every time they find one, they cut out or copy that particular example.
They, after reading these examples, then decide, from the context, what the writer
in each case had meant by the words. From these they make definitions. A dictionary
in other words, is a collection of people's opinions about what words mean as other
people use them.
