请阅读一篇关于读书的短文，根据所提供的信息，完成下面表格。

　　Reading books is a good hobby for all kinds of reasons．First, reading books is fun．You can always keep yourself amused if you like reading．This is especially useful when the weather is bad．It is a relaxing hobby, too．You can really become lost in a book．

　　Next, you can read a book almost anywhere：in a car, in a waiting-room, on a plane, in bed－even in the bath．All you need is a book! Reading is a convenient hobby as it is easy to stop and then start again．

　　Another good reason for reading books is that it is useful．If you read as a hobby you will get better and better at it．This means that you will read faster and will become better at understanding what you read．As your reading improves, you will probably find that your schoolwork becomes much easier．Many school subjects depend on good reading and, as you read, you learn more and more．

　　Some people say that reading is out of date．This is not true．You have to be able to read to use a computer and, the better you read, the better your computer skills will be．Reading is hardly out of date!

　　Good readers are most likely to be good writers, too．They are usually good at spelling as well, and have more things to write about．Reading books is a wonderful hobby, one of the best．What other hobbies could be more useful, or more enjoyable!
