55Different readers face different advantages and drawbacks（缺点）in forming good reading habits. The circumstances of your personal life may make it easy or hard to find reading time, but time itself is not the real issue--it's habit. Reading must be something you do regularly（定期地）, like brushing your teeth. Reading habits flourish（繁荣,兴旺）best in routine（日常的）, but the efficient（效率高的）reader also exploits（利用）opportunity. Routine（（日常的）: Set aside some time every day when you can work undisturbed for an hour or two--first thing in the morning, during lunch, after dinner, whenever you can set aside other demands（需要,需求）. Ideally（,理想地）it's the same time of day. Your family and friends will soon build their routines around yours. With luck, they will resent your unscheduled appearances during your reading time, and will send you packing back to your desk.Keep your reading equipment （装备）(paper, pens, dictionaries etc.) in your reading place(a sofa? Or your study? ), close at hand. Minimize （对……做最低估计）distractions like interesting new magazines. Try to find a reading time when few people phone or visit. If a cup of coffee and some background music make you feel less lonely, by all means enjoy them.Use household（家庭的）chores（日常零星活儿）as thinking time: a chance to review what you've done so far and to consider where your reading should go next. Walking the dog or vacuuming（真空吸尘器）the carpet（地毯）can provide more ideas than you expect. This is really just ``controlled daydreaming,'' letting your mind freewheel（自由飞轮）in a particular direction: What the heroine（女主人公）should do in the next chapter(章,回), how the hero would respond to escaping a car bomb(炸弹), how the villain(坏人)developed his evil (邪恶的)character. But the process(进程)doesn't seem to work if you just sit and stare at the wall. You need to be up and moving in some automatic pattern."Developing Efficient(效率高的)Work HabitsAs I Walked Out One Eveningby W. H. AudenAs I walked out one evening,Walking down Bristol Street,The crowds upon the pavement（人行道）Were fields of harvest（收获）wheat（小麦）. And down by the brimming riverI heard a lover singUnder an arch（拱门）of the railway:Love has no ending.'I'll love you, dear, I'll love youTill China and Africa meet,And the river jumps over the mountainAnd the salmon（鲑鱼,）sing in the street,I'll love you till the oceanIs folded and hung up to dry（干燥的）And the seven stars go squawkingLike geese（goose 鹅）about the sky.'The years shall run like rabbits,For in my arms I holdThe Flower of the Ages,And the first love of the world.'But all the clocks in the cityBegan to whirr（飞机螺旋桨转动呼呼）and chime:'O let not Time deceive you,You cannot conquer(征服)Time.'In the burrows(地洞, 穴)of the Nightmare(恶梦) Where Justice(正义;公平)naked is,Time watches from the shadowAnd coughs when you would kiss.'In headaches and in worryVaguely (茫然地)life leaks away,And Time will have his fancy(想像;想像力;幻想) To-morrow or to-day.'Into many a green valleyDrifts the appalling snow;Time breaks the threaded dancesAnd the diver's brilliant bow.'O plunge your hands in water,Plunge them in up to the wrist;Stare, stare in the basinAnd wonder what you've missed.'The glacier knocks in the cupboard,The desert sighs in the bed,And the crack in the tea-cup opensA lane to the land of the dead.'Where the beggars raffle the banknotesAnd the Giant is enchanting to Jack,And the Lily-white Boy is a Roarer,And Jill goes down on her back.'O look, look in the mirror,O look in your distress:Life remains a blessingAlthough you cannot bless.'O stand, stand at the windowAs the tears scald and start;You shall love your crooked neighbourWith your crooked heart.'It was late, late in the evening,The lovers they were gone;The clocks had ceased their chiming,And the deep river ran on.friendship can evolve(发展) to love, yet love can never fade into friendship. That's why darling we can never be friends again.if we cannot see the wind, we can see the wind’s will。

readingIf you fail, don’t forget to learn your lesson。

如果你失败了，千万别忘了总结教训。

1. Mental StimulationStudies have shown that staying mentally stimulated can slow the progress of (or possibly even prevent) Dementia, since keeping your brain active and engaged prevents it from losing power. Just like any other muscle in the body, the brain requires exercise to keep it strong and healthy, so the phrase “use it or lose it” is particularly apt when it comes to your mind. Doing puzzles and playing games such as chess have also been found to be helpful with cognitive stimulation. mental stimulation振奋精神Studies have shown that…研究表明…staying mentally stimulated保持精神振奋slow the progress of减慢…的进程dementia [dɪ'menʃə] 痴呆症apt恰当的，适当的when it comes to …当提到…do puzzles猜谜语have been found to be被发现是…cognitive stimulation认知刺激so the phrase “use it or lose it” is particularly apt when it comes to your mind所以当我们说到脑子的时候，这个说法“用进废退”特别的贴切2. Stress ReductionNo matter how much stress you have at work, in your personal relationships, or countless other issues faced in daily life, it all just slips away when you lose yourself in a great story. A well-written novel can transport you to other realms, while an engaging article will distract you and keep you in the present moment, letting tensions drain away and allowing you to relax.No matter how much stress you have at work无论在工作上你有多少压力it all just slips away when you lose yourself in a great story当你沉浸在一个好的故事中，所有的压力都会瞬间消失A well-written novel can transport you to other realms一个好的小说会把你送到另外一个王国t ransport … to… 把…送到…realm [relm]王国，领域，范围distract sb 转移某人的注意力let tensions drain away让紧张被抽干The best preparation for tomorrow is doing your best today.对明天做好的准备就是今天做到最好！3. KnowledgeEverything you read fills your head with new bits of information, and you never know when it might come in handy. The more knowledge you have, the better-equipped you are to tackle any challenge you’ll ever face.Additionally, here’s a bit of food for thought: should you ever find yourself in dire circumstances, remember that although you might lose everything else—your job, your possessions, your money, even your health—knowledge can never be taken from you.come in handy 随手可用food for thought引人深思的事here’s a bit of food for thought 引人深思的事情有：dire circumstances可怕的情况in dire circumstances在可怕的情况下possessions [pə'zeʃənz] n. [经] 财产；所有物（possession的复数形式）remember that although you might lose everything else—your job, your possessions, your money, even your health—knowledge can never be taken from you. 棒棒的表达，前后对比，突出主题4. Vocabulary ExpansionThis goes with the above topic: the more you read, the more words you gain exposure to, and they’ll inevitably make their way into your everyday vocabulary. Being articulate and well-spoken is of great help in any profession, and knowing that you can speak to higher-ups with self-confidence can be an enormous boost to your self-esteem. It could even aid in your career, as those who are well-read, well-spoken, and knowledgeable on a variety of topics tend to get promotions more quickly (and more often) than those with smaller vocabularies and lack of awareness of literature, scientific breakthroughs, and global events.Reading books is also vital for learning new languages, as non-native speakers gain exposure to words used in context, which will ameliorate their own speaking and writing fluency.gain exposure to 接触到make their way自发的make their own way into your everyday vocabulary 自发的融入你的日常词汇中be an enormous boost to 对……有极大的帮助be an enormous boost to your self-esteem对你的自尊有很大的帮助lack of awareness of 对……缺乏认识lack of awareness of literature, scientific breakthroughs, and global events 对文学、科学背景及全球事件缺乏认识is vital for 对……至关重要Reading books is also vital for learning new languages读书对学习新语言是非常重要的non-native speakers gain exposure to words used in context 非常好的表达，ameliorate [ə'miːlɪəreɪt] vt. 改善；减轻（痛苦等）；改良vi. 变得更好speaking and writing fluency 说话、写作的流利度5.Memory ImprovementWhen you read a book, you have to remember an assortment of characters, their backgrounds, ambitions, history, and nuances, as well as the various arcs and sub-plots that weave their way through every story. That’s a fair bit to remember, but brains are marvellous things and can remember these things with relative ease. Amazingly enough, every new memory you create forges new synapses (brain pathways)and strengthens existing ones, which assists in short-term memory recall as well as stabilizing moods. How cool is that?6. Stronger Analytical Thinking SkillsHave you ever read an amazing mystery novel, and solved the mystery yourself before finishing the book? If so, you were able to put critical and analytical thinking to work by taking note of all the details provided and sorting them out to determine “whodunnit”.That same ability to analyze details also comes in handy when it comes to critiquing the plot; determining whether it was a well-written piece, if the characters were properly developed, if the storyline ran smoothly, etc. Should you ever have an opportunity to discuss the book with others,you’ll be able to state your opinions clearly, as you’ve taken the time to really consider all the aspects involved.To be yourself ! 做自己！7. Improved focus and concentrationIn our internet-crazed world, attention is drawn in a million different directions at once as we multi-task through every day. In a single 5-minute span, the average person will divide their time between working on a task, checking email, chatting with a couple of people (via gchat, skype, etc.), keeping an eye on twitter, monitoring their smartphone, and interacting with co-workers. This type of behaviour causes stress levels to rise, and lowers our productivity.When you read a book, all of your attention is focused on the story—the rest of the world just falls away, and you can immerse yourself in every fine detail you’r e absorbing. Try reading for 15-20 minutes before work (i.e. on your morning commute, if you take public transit), and you’ll be surprised at how much more focused you are once you get to the office.In our internet-crazed world 在网络非常疯狂的年代(作文可用)attention is drawn in a million different directions注意力被极多不同方向吸引keeping an eye on twitter, monitoring their smartphone, and interacting with co-workers.留意推特,监视着手机(紧盯手机),与同事互动(co-workers 好单词)the rest of the world just falls away全世界(剩下的)全部消失了on your morning commute在早上上班的时候take public transit乘坐公共交通工具This goes hand-in-hand with the expansion of your vocabulary: exposure to published, well-written work has a noted effect on one’s own writing, as observing the cadence, fluidity, and writing styles of other authors will invariably influence your own work. In the same way that musicians influence one another, and painters use techniques established by previous masters, so do writers learn how to craft prose by reading the works of others.goes hand-in-hand with 和…有亲密关系(紧密联系) 表意：手拉手的has a noted effect on对…有很大影响invariably influence 很大影响到painters use techniques established by previous masters 画家所用的技巧是之前大师所创立的。

In general, do adults today (in China) like rea ding?Generally speaking, adults in China are not really into reading. T his is mainly because reading a book can be a little bit time-co nsuming and exhausting. They would rather do something more r elaxing and entertaining, such as singing karaoke, hanging out with friends at bars or cafés.7. Do you think adults should read more? That’s for sure.

(The equal amount of time that a child usually spends watching TV.)13. Would you ever give a book as a gift to one of your friends?Yes, I would for sure.
