First, reading books is fun. You can make yourself happy if you like reading. This is especially useful when the weath

20、er is bad. It is a relaxing hobby, too. You can really become lost in a book. Next, you can read a book anywhere: in a car, in a waiting room, on a plane or in bed. All you need is a book! Reading is a convenient hobby as it is easy to stop and then start again. Another good reason for reading books

21、 is that it is useful. If you read as a hobby, you will get better and better at it. This makes you read faster and become easier at understanding what you read.

26、precious(宝贵的) things. Well, can health and a long life be bought with money? The answer is No.Of all the longest living people in the world, few of them are millionaires. True friendship cant be bought either. In a word, where money is worshiped(崇拜), money can cause brothers to quarrel, lovers to ha
