Catenatives followed by infinitives and gerunds

What is the difference in meaning when the catenative verb “like” is followed by an infinitive, or by a gerund? For example:





Do you like ski jumping?




vs.




Do you like to ski jump?





Also, what is the difference between:




My brother taught me to read and write.




vs.




My brother taught me reading and writing.
