Ⅰ.七选五
Reading is really a good way to improve ourselves. __1__ If you don't believe me, please consider these reasons to read more books.
1．You will optimize your brainpower.
__2__ Unlike watching television, which requires no thought process, reading is an active learning experience that will keep your mind sharp (even in old age)．
2．__3__
If you're looking for entertainment on a budget, you can't beat books. Thanks to the popularity of electronic reading devices like the Kindle and reselling websites like eBay, it's never been easier to entertain yourself for hours at a time, for the low cost of a few dollars.
3．You will reduce stress and get into a good night's sleep.
Exposing yourself to artificial light on your cellphone or TV reduces your body's production of melatonin (褪黑激素), which can make it difficult to get a good night's sleep. __4__ Just replace that with a good book, which is a much better sleepfriendly alternative.
4．You will change your life.
I firmly believe that if it were not for books, I wouldn't have achieved so much in my life; nor would I have the knowledge, imagination or creativity that I depend on as a writer, business owner, and coach.
Do you have the desire to read books now? __5__
A．You will entertain yourself at any time.
B．You will entertain yourself at a low price.
C．The more books you read, the better your life will be.
D．This shouldn't come as a shock, and studies suggest reading makes you smart.
E．I hope these reasons encourage you to unlock your potential with the power of reading.
F．You should know that it is wise to keep a book in your purse or car at all times.
