"We humans do like to insist that we have free will, and that whatever we choose to do is entirely our own decision. But about one third of us are infected with a certain parasite. Usually, if you're not pregnant or immunocompromised, this infection does not cause too many problems. But sometimes, this infection can change your normal behavior, and even increase the chances of schizophrenia and suicide."

Proficient science readers will read the text that correlates to a table of data, for example, and then study the table, looking for features like units of measure, data range values, and column titles. They will then look back at the text to reread, or continue reading, in an effort to connect this information to the text.
