    Nowadays few of us read extensively after we leave school. This tendency is rather disturbing, for one should know that reading extensively are no less necessary to one’s mental life than fresh air to one’s physical life. As is vividly shown in the picture above, a huge book is lying above green grass and beautiful flowers. Beside some yellow sunflowers which are surrounded by lovely butterflies, there is a topic which says: “reading”.
    From reading extensively, we can derive companionship, experience and instruction. First and foremost, a good book is our faithful friend. It can increase our contentment when we are cheerful and happy, and lessen our pain when we are sad or lonely. Furthermore, reading extensively can also offer us a wide range of experiences. In reading we may join tourists marveling at incredible power of Niagara Falls, mingle with the happy throngs strolling in the Paris boulevards and experience the bitterness or joy of people in different lands and in different times. Few of us can travel far from home or live long over one hundred, but all of us can live many lives through the pages of books. The last but not the least, reading extensively can increase our intellectual ability, broaden our minds and make us wise.
    Though with the advent of TV and Internet, books are no longer read as extensively as they once were, nothing can replace the role that reading extensively plays in our lives.
    參考譯文
    當(dāng)今我們中很少有人離開學(xué)校后再坐下來讀書。這種傾向令人擔(dān)憂，因?yàn)槲覀冎溃瑫畬θ说木癃q如空氣對人的身體同樣是十分必需的。如上圖生動所示，一本書翻開在綠草鮮花之上。在可愛的蝴蝶環(huán)繞的一些金黃色向日葵的旁邊，小標(biāo)題顯示：“讀書”。
    從讀書中我們可以得到伴侶，得到經(jīng)歷，受到教益。一本好書就是我們一個忠實(shí)的朋友。當(dāng)我們高興和幸福時，書能增添我們的快樂;當(dāng)我們傷心和孤獨(dú)時，書能減輕我們的痛苦。書還能向我們提供各種經(jīng)歷。讀書中我們可以成為游客，盡情贊嘆尼亞加拉瀑布那雷霆萬鈞之勢，喜洋洋地和許多人一起漫步在巴黎的林蔭大道上，還可以體驗(yàn)到不同時代、不同國土的人民的酸甜苦辣。我們中很少人能到很遠(yuǎn)的地方去旅游，或能活過一百歲，但是通過讀書我們能經(jīng)歷各種各樣的生活。更重要的是，讀書能提高我們的知識技能，開闊我們的眼界，使我們變得聰明智慧。
    雖然隨著電視、手機(jī)和網(wǎng)絡(luò)的出現(xiàn)，讀書的人沒有以前多了，但沒有什么東西可以取代書籍在我們生活中的作用。
