Be a happy reader

A person’s life is limited. How can we make our limited life rich and colorful? How can we make our limited life filled with richness and richness? The delicate fragrance shines with infinite brilliance. How can we improve the quality of life and add value to life? That is reading.

In the hustle and bustle of the city, people often forget many primitive instincts and needs of life. Cars have replaced walking, television has replaced observation, and the Internet has replaced communication. We do not deny progress, but we know that some things can never be replaced, such as a piece of pure nature, such as a yellowed old book, such as a classic old song. Even if we already have the fashionable appearance of the e-era, deep down in our hearts, maybe we are still obsessed with the elegance of red sleeves, the fun of cooking wine with green plums, and the tranquility of reading on a rainy night.

Everyone may have similar dreams, setting off again and again in a distant place. We long to walk in different scenery, but in reality, maybe we can only live in the turbulent office or busy in the vegetable market.

However, we can let our hearts set off, moving from one place to another in one book after another. The accumulation of life can be traveled thousands of miles and read thousands of books.

We cannot measure the length of our lives, but we can expand the width of our lives. A good book that benefits people may be an expansion of life. I always hope that in the half-day leisurely life, a cup of tea and a good book will accompany us; I always hope that after the hustle and bustle, there will be a corner of the fragrance of books, so that friends can gather and sing...

Books make the world Simple people become rich; books make people who are noisy in the world return to their original nature. During the hurried journey, in the heavy luggage, on the rosewood table... don't forget to leave a place for your favorite book!

I like reading and reading at night. Although there is no red sleeves to add fragrance, a cup of tea is enough! Quiet night outside the window, ancient books on the table, people and shadows under the lamp in pairs. The gentle influx of history makes me feel so close, like a long-lost night rain, coming with the wind and melting into my heart. As it comes and goes, it cleanses the dusty soul and makes it spotless. I brew a pot of it. Green tea, in the refreshing fragrance of the room, looking at the night outside the window, savoring yesterday's silhouette, the loneliness under the lamp, and the shared feelings of ancient and modern times.

I never thought that I would have such a peaceful and desireless mood. The ancient book is open on the table, and the slightly yellowed pages are clearly engraved with distant memories, gently binding a state of mind, a state of mind that lasts from generation to generation, through the smoke and dust of the years, into a thread-bound book. A rare book that has been handed down to this day. From the passing years, the opened pages are filled with clean light, and the exquisite words are some exquisite and self-sufficient souls.

We think alone at night, we search hard in the pages of books, and think about the unsolvable fate. Looking for that initial sincere throb. In fact, life is also a book. People living in the city need some classical mood, gentle mood and a heart that can be calm after pollution to read and reflect. What is spread out on the table is life. , What is passing outside the window is the years, and the person sitting alone under the lamp is not a passer-by, but a returnee.

Time flies, the night is like ink, and the breathing around me gradually falls asleep. And I always lean on the bed, light the lamp, and still read the text crazily, just like reading the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers in spring. Read Summer Thunder and Rain. Read the fallen leaves of the sycamore tree in autumn. Read the ice-covered snow sculptures of winter. The endless tenderness that I can’t read is like water soaking all my emotions.

As time goes by, I will never be lonely if I put my love in books. I have an everlasting covenant with words. Shi Guai ordered her to comfort me. She relieves me of my troubles and sorrows.

Celebrities from ancient times like to compare books to friends. Jin Ying once said: "Reading an unseen book is like finding a good friend; seeing someone who has read a book is like meeting an old friend." Calder also said: "The next best thing to choosing a good friend is choosing a good book." Having a book as a companion is like being lonely. A kind of enjoyment, loneliness will also feel fulfilling.

There are many stories of ancient people studying diligently and hard.

Sun Ao's "Hanging beams", Su Qin's "thorns", Confucius's "Three Wonders of Wei Bian", and Kuang Heng's "cutting out walls to steal light" are all examples of hard work; Tao Yuanming said: "If you are good at reading, you don't ask for a deep understanding. Every time you have an understanding , I am happy and forget to eat." Liu Yong said: "The clothes are getting wider and I don't regret it, because it makes people feel haggard." He is also a model of diligence. Diligence is like a golden key, which can open the treasure house of knowledge; it is also like a rapid waterfall, which can open the gate of wisdom. Reading requires choice. If you are conquered by books, as Bacon said, treat your brain as a grassland and let other people's thoughts be trampled like horseshoes. In that case, no matter how good the book is, it will lose its charm and value.

A good book is like a magical lamp, but it illuminates not the night, but the soul of the seeker. Just like Bacon said: "Reading is about forming a complete personality." Of course, there is also a big book that everyone needs to read relentlessly throughout their lives. It is the living book of society. Rousseau said: "Society is a book, and facts are teaching materials." Yes, the truth is always contained in short stories: A husband became a vegetative state due to an accidental car accident. He had just been married for three years. Young wives bear all the burdens of their lives on their weak shoulders and make every effort to arouse their husbands. Perhaps love moved God, and 15 years later, the husband slowly regained consciousness, but an even crueler fact was before his eyes: the husband had lost all the memories of the past 15 years, and even the face of his wife was completely forgotten. 15 years, 15 years, is a woman's youth, a woman's whole love has been poured into it! But the wife just said lightly: "I don't regret it. I use the ruler of 15 years to measure my conscience, which is much happier than using a lifetime of shame to condemn my conscience." - It is such a ruler of conscience that shocked me to date.

Life is also a book, you need to chew it word by word. Beautiful words and sentences should be savored carefully, humorous words should be understood with a smile, and famous quotes and philosophies should be carefully studied. Can the ups and downs of life teach you how to endure? Can the blows of life teach you to be strong? Can social diversity teach you how to choose? Can you learn to appreciate the beautiful scenery? Can the passage of time teach you to cherish it? ...

Read life as a book, observe it with open eyes, and perceive it with your heart. Keep a normal mind and don't complain that you can't understand things clearly. Life is like this and you need to appreciate it slowly.

Reading is enjoyment. If you read society and life as books, you will understand more and gain more.

About reading

Ye Wenling

Parents nourish the body, and books mold the soul. In this sense, books are like our reborn parents.

The happiness that reading brings to people is incomparable to any delicious food, beautiful clothes and luxurious houses - eating a wonderful dish will make you feel delicious for a while; wearing a beautiful dress will make you look good for a while; reading a book will make you feel good. This is a useful book that will last a lifetime.

A person who does not study is just as lonely as a person who has no friends. The loneliness of a person without friends may be temporary. If a person does not love reading, then this loneliness and poverty will be lifelong.

The charm of literature is endless, and the world in books is the largest.

Epiphany is a leap when a person rises spiritually, and books are the pillars that guarantee the leap.

Books are the cool shade in hot summer, the charcoal fire in severe winter, the good medicine for arrogance, and the Garden of Eden for the soul.

I hope that the endless books in the world will become companions for life after life.

Franklin's Reading Method

Xue Ming

Franklin, a great American scientist in the 19th century, said: "Reading is my only entertainment. I never waste time. in taverns, gambling, or any kind of bad game; and in business as diligently as necessary,” he said, and did so. Franklin was born in poverty and did not go to school much. He entered a printing factory as a printer at the age of 12. His reading method is:

1. borrow. Since his family was poor and the pay of being a printer was low, he borrowed books from several bookstore apprentices he knew and some people with large collections of books. After borrowing it, he hurried home and lit a small oil lamp to read.

When he was tired from reading, he washed his face with cold water, sat down and continued reading until he finished. The next day, he returned the book to his friend on time. Friends praised him as a "book nerd" who kept his word.

2. Pick. In addition to borrowing books to read, Franklin also bought particularly good books. When he read the book he bought, he would always draw outlines and circles, excerpting the most exciting words, words, sentences, paragraphs, famous quotes and aphorisms. He has read many books on electricity, earth science, botany, mathematics, chemistry, etc., and there are several baskets full of excerpted reading notes.

3． back. Franklin had a good habit of reading. I will memorize the exciting parts of good articles. And chant it repeatedly until you can blurt it out.

Read it out loud

Qian Gang

We Chinese call "reading" "study". As the name suggests, "reading" means reading the book aloud. You see, the words "the sound of the book is loud" and "the rhythm" all describe the reading situation of the older generation. I support reading aloud.

In my alma mater, Xihu Primary School in Hangzhou, there are several Chinese teachers who have transferred from military art troupes. They attach great importance to students' reading aloud. My class teacher, Teacher Bu Qingrong, is one of them. When she stood on the podium and led us to read the text with emotion, she often reminded us of the photo on the wall of Teacher Bu's house of her announcing the curtain on the stage. Just like a director training actors, she strictly (even too strictly) requires us to read and memorize. To this day, I can still remember the times when she taught us to read texts such as "The Dog Bites Again" and "Sister-in-law, Stop Saying Goodbye" - the texts cannot be remembered clearly, they are deeply imprinted in my memory. It's that touching tone.

Each book has its own "tone." Those truly outstanding works have a "tone" as beautiful as music.

The old writer Sun Li wrote a novella called "The Prequel of Ironwood". At the end of the work, there is this passage:

Childhood, your entire experience is nothing. Undoubtedly, like a small boat sailing in a river full of spring water. In retrospect, people's mood is always cheerful and lively. However, on your bulging white sail, are there no traces of the impact of wind and rain? Or has your forward-moving bow never encountered the obstacles of upstream rocks? Memories about you are like your load, sometimes they are light and sometimes they are heavy!

I have read "The Prequel of Ironwood" many times, and every time, I have to read the ending aloud. It was in the pleasure of "reading" that I realized the freshness of Sun Li's language.

I also like to read some excellent news works, such as Huashan's "Heroic October".

I remember an old comrade once told me that Chinese literature has a prominent aesthetic feature: appeal to hearing. Needless to say, poetry, as well as novels developed from storybooks, also clearly retain the characteristics of auditory art, such as clarity, clarity, catchiness, etc.

In fact, it is not just Chinese works? Not long ago, I heard one of my neighbors reciting Lermontov's lyric poetry in Russian. The tone was so beautiful and charming that my neighbor insisted that Russian is the most rhythmic text in the world. .

In fact, it is more than just "literature"? Good speeches, good newspaper remarks, good diaries, letters, and even good theoretical books can all make people feel beautiful in their hearing.

Reading aloud means cultivating this sense of beauty from childhood.

I am forever grateful to my beloved Teacher Bu, who enabled me and my classmates to receive strict reading training since childhood. When I grow up and start writing, the music and melody of the books I read in my youth will linger in my ears.

Of course, some "tones" will eventually appear outdated and constrain your writing. Then, pick up new excellent books and read them again to find new charm and new timbre. Needless to say, you still have to "read it out loud."
