secondly, reading would offer inexhaustible mental nutrition. good books teach us and help us to do well. they are our real companions. they are both instructive and inspiring. through reading, the beauties of nature, the miracles of art, the spectacles of architecture, and the marvels of engineering are all opened to our wonder and appreciation. moreover, it really builds up a full comprehension of love, hatred, happiness and sorrows in our heart. we are able to experience various kinds of lives---what more is there to desire than that?
      thirdly, it is fruitful for us to learn from the book after reading it. books are our friends; they take us to all the countries in the world; they tell us stories of all ages; they teach us the truth. with reading, we can learn innumerable things we do not know, be aware of what has happened in the past as well as what is going to happen in the future, and solve the urgent problems that beset us. gradually, we come to know how to be a real person and how to observe the world.
      in all, mankind has made extraordinary progress in the accumulation of knowledge. with the invention of writing, knowledge could then not only be communicated but also be stored. now, i am lucky for being one member of 4ew, and i am confident that i will make good use of it, learn from it, and feel the joys of reading forever.
