8 BenefitS of Reading 　　英国诗人哈慈?利特曾经说过：“书籍蜿蜓伸入我们的心灵，诗人的诗句在我们的血流里舒缓地滑行。我们年轻时诵读它们，年老时仍然铭记它们。我们读到他人的遭遇却感到身历其境。书籍到处可得，而且价廉物美。我们就像呼吸空气中的氧一样吸收书中的营养。”读书最大的好处在于，它让求知的人从中获知，让无知的人变得有知。能阅读，何其乐乎？ 　　The public library is a phenomena that to this day I still cant get over. Free knowledge， for anyone. Literally， anyone. Recently lve been on a huge reading kick， checking out anything I can get my hands on in the library. lve found that no matter what I read， the act of reading every day has helped me in nearly every aspect of my life. Here are a few of my favorite ways that reading has improved my quality of life， and will definitely improve yours. 　　公共图书馆这一现象到现在还令我惊叹不已。免费的知识，任何人可享。毫不夸张，任何人！近来，我很是热衷于阅读，借阅了图书馆中我能接触到的所有书籍。我发现不管我读什么书，读书这一举动就足以使我生活的方方面面都受益了。我从以下几点来说明阅读提高了我的生活质量，当然，阅读也一定将会提高您的生活质量。 　　1. Enhanced Smarts 　　阅读增长智慧 　　Wow， this may be the most obvious statement of the post，right？ Well， it tums out that reading helps in almost every area of smarts.

In Anne E.Cunninghams paper What Reading Does for the Mind，she found that reading，in general，makes you smarter，and it keeps you sharp as you age. No matter what you want to do or become， you cant do it without more knowledge. Reading is an excellent way to get where you want to go. 　　哇，这一定是这篇文章中最显眼的句子，对吧？的确，事实证明，阅读几乎能提高各方面的才智。相较不爱阅读者，阅读者成绩更好，智商更高，常识更全面。在安妮?坎宁安的论文《阅读对思想的影响》中，她表示，阅读通常能让人变得聪慧，而随着年岁增长，阅读会让人保持敏锐。不管你想做什么事，想成为什么样的人，没有足够的知识，你都无法成功。阅读是通往成功的一条坦途大道。 　　2. Reducing Stress 　　阅读减缓压力 　　When lm reading a book， my mind shifts gear. Where I might have had a stressful day，a book can easily distract me.Fiction is fantastic for this. Reading an awesome fiction book is perfect right before bed time， though sometimes its hard to put the book down if its really good. Still， you’ll be relaxed. 　　每每读书，我就会转变思考方式。原本我一天都压力重重，但一本好书就能轻易救我于水火。虚构小说的效果更是出彩。在睡前读上一本精彩的小说，再美不过。尽管有时内容实在迷人，一时令人爱不释手，但还是能起到放松的作用。 　　3. Greater Tranquility 　　阅读使人
