Question
[2]. Passage: Deep reading is not the same as gathering information. When a reader follows a long argument, holds several ideas together, and returns to an earlier page to test a later claim, attention becomes a form of thinking. Digital screens reward the opposite habit: quick scanning, frequent switching, and immediate reward. The danger is not that screens exist, but that scanning becomes the only habit. A school that protects slow reading — a quiet hour, a borrowed book, a discussion without a screen — protects the student's capacity to judge, not merely to react. According to the passage, what makes attention 'a form of thinking'?
