I'm saying, " Reading helps people modestly improve understanding and their mental reaction to others in social situations."

我是说，“阅读可以帮助人们在社交场合适度地提高理解力和对他人的心理反应。”

A short story is less comprehensive than a novel, and the focus is on a character's mental reaction to an experience this reaction is the heart of the short story.

短篇小说不如小说全面，重点是人物对经历的心理反应，这种反应是短篇小说的核心。
