There are many benefits of reading books. Unfortunately, in this day and age, not a lot of people take the time to read them anymore. But that doesn't change the fact that you're missing out on a lot of wonderful benefits! Read on to learn the various benefits of reading books!
It Feeds Your Mind.
Obviously, reading books provides you with new knowledge. Whenever you read something, you learn new information that you otherwise would not have known.
It can be a fact about history or a theory you did not know existed. If you want to learn new words in particular, reading books is a great way to enrich your vocabulary.
It Keeps Your Brain In Shape.
Reading also keeps your mind in good condition. Similar to solving puzzles, reading books allows your mind to practice its processing skills.
Going without books for too long will turn your mind to mush (玉米面粥). I'm not kidding! Why do you think they call television the boob tube?
It Develops Your Critical Thinking Skills.
One of the primary benefits of reading books is its ability to develop your critical thinking skills. Reading mystery novels, for example, sharpens (使敏锐) your mind. Whenever you are faced with a similar problem in real life, your mind is now able to put its mystery-solving prowess to a test.
It Makes You More Articulate.
There's nothing quite like reading books to help you become a better conversationalist. Seeing how words are used (and how sentences are structured) with your own eyes helps you commit the information to memory better than by listening to a teacher discuss the points in class.
It Is Easy To Get To.
One of the great benefits of reading books is that the information in it can be read over and over again. When you're following a recipe, for example, reading a cookbook allows you the luxury(享受)of reviewing the processes and the ingredients whenever you need to.
These are just some of the wonderful benefits of reading books. Why don't you drop by the bookstore or library and pick a book up? If you can't even go outside, you can download free e-books on line and read them on your computer.

Every year, TIME, an American magazine, selects the best inventions that are making the world better, smarter and a little more fun. Here are some on the list of 2016.


Flyte

Flyte is a light bulb that can float (漂浮) and turn. Flyte has sold very well since it came into being in January. The company also introduced a lot of similar products, including a planter (盆景), Lyfe, which came out in June.


Morpher

People refuse to wear helmets (头盔) because they are thick and heavy. Morpher is a bike helmet made of plastic. It is just as strong as traditional helmets, but can be folded almost completely flat (扁平), making it easier to carry. Morpher may be available for sale in stores in the near future.


HyperAdapt 1.0
