Reading is the only way out for poor children. Although I am born to play, I prefer to travel in books. As long as I have a book with me in front of the cool window, I don't want to go anywhere. The following are the composition materials I compiled about famous people’s reading stories. You are welcome to refer to them.

Celebrity story: Newton studied under the fence

There are many famous scientists in the world whose family background is poor. They have all fought tenaciously against difficult circumstances on their way to success. Newton's situation in his boyhood is also very sympathetic.

Newton was born in the family of an ordinary farmer in England in 1642. Shortly before Newton was born, his father died. His mother remarried when he was two years old. When Newton was fourteen years old, his stepfather unfortunately passed away and his mother returned to his hometown. Newton was forced to drop out of school and go home to help his mother farm. His mother wanted to train him to make an independent living and asked him to engage in the business of agricultural products.

How unwilling a diligent and studious child is to leave his beloved school! He cried sadly several times, but his mother never changed her mind. In the end, he had to study business according to his mother's wishes. Every morning, he and an old servant went to a big town more than ten miles away to do business. Newton didn't like doing business very much. He entrusted all affairs to his old servants, while he secretly went to a place to study.

As time passed, Newton became more and more disgusted with doing business, and all he liked in his heart was reading. Later, Newton simply stopped going to the town to do business and only asked the old servant to go alone. Afraid that his family would find out, he went out with his old servant every day, stopping halfway and reading under a fence. Whenever the old servant comes back in the afternoon, we go home together.

In this way, day after day, the reading life under the fence is endless fun. One day, he was reading happily under the fence when he happened to be seen by his uncle who was passing by. When his uncle saw this scene, he was very angry and scolded him loudly for not doing his job properly. He snatched Newton's book away. When his uncle saw that what he was reading was a mathematics book with various marks drawn on it, he was deeply moved. The uncle hugged Newton and said excitedly: "Son, just develop according to your ambition. Your right path should be to study." ?

After returning home, his uncle tried his best to persuade Newton's mother to let Newton give up business and study. With the help of his uncle, Newton returned to school as he wished.

When Lin Lanying reached the third grade of elementary school, her cousins ??all dropped out of school and went home to do housework or go out to work as female workers. Her mother also advised her: "For a girl, what's the use of studying? Look at your cousin, she can earn money by selling shoes." ?

Is it really useless for girls to study? Xiao Lanying felt angry and unfair. She wrote a letter to her father, who was working out of town, and poured out her innermost feelings.

When she first entered school, all the male classmates looked down on her, and some people ridiculed her: "Bamboos alone cannot be tied into rows, and Mao Yatou will not grow long after studying!"

Lin Lanying ignored her and just immersed herself in reading. Although she had to do a lot of housework every day, she was never late for school or left early. The homework assigned by the teacher is always completed on time.

Celebrity Story: Ba Jin Reading

The famous writer Ba Jin’s reading method is very strange, because he did it without books. Reading without books is indeed a miracle in the world. What is going on? Ba Jin said: "The second time I was hospitalized, I took a nap for less than an hour every day. I got out of bed and sat on the small sofa, waiting for the nurse to come. Come take your temperature at one o'clock. I sat motionless, but did not doze. My brain refuses to rest. It is recalling some books and works I have read in the past, as if it wants to preserve a little bit of good things before my memory completely fades. ?

It turns out that his way of reading is to sit there quietly and recall the books he has read. This has many benefits:

(1) It is not subject to conditions and can make full use of time.

Ba Jin cited two examples: One was during the Soviet Patriotic War, when Leningrad was besieged by the German army for a long time, a girl wrote in her diary: "A certain type, "Anna Karenina" type" sentence. There was no electricity or candles at that time, and the entire city was under blackout. She could not read, but sat quietly in the dark and recalled the plot of the book. Tolstoy's novels helped her survive those terrifying nights. Another example is his own personal experience during the decade of civil unrest. He said: "If the rebels had allowed me to write a diary during this period, and allowed me to write a diary according to my own wishes, my diary would be filled with book titles." People will wonder: My study has been sealed, locked, and closed for ten years. Where did I find those books to read? They forget that there is a big warehouse in the human brain, which stores things that others cannot take away. thing. ?These two examples show that you can ?study? in any situation where normal reading conditions are not met.

(2) Review the past and learn the new. Through recollection, take out the books you have read in the past and chew them bit by bit, just like a cow ruminating, which can further digest and absorb. Every time you recall, you will have new understanding, new knowledge, and new gains.

(3) Ability to continuously absorb spiritual power from books that have been read. Ba Jin said: "I am fighting against the disease now, and I also get encouragement from various works. Even if I have no energy to read new works while I am ill, the accumulation of spiritual wealth in the past is enough for the rest of my limited life." Until death, people need light and heat.
