答案    The Benefits of Reading Books Today
   We are entering an era in which technological products constantly dazzle our senses with fascinating pictures and sounds.  In a leisure-loving society, reading books seems to be the most boring activity. However, I would argue that books are still benefiting us enormously, even more than we could imagine.
   First, reading help to cultivate our mind. Reading a book requires more intellectual efforts than watching TV, because with less visual and auditory aids we have broader scope of imagination. Second, our critical thinking will be developed while reading. This is especially important for children since it helps their brain function at a higher cognitive level. Third, reading books extends the attention span and helps us concentrate. When we are surfing the Internet or watching TV, we tend to become aimless. Switching channels or changing web pages frequently, we seldom focus on information that is worth reading. The nature of such media distracts our attention. However, reading books can make up for this limitation by forcing us to focus on limited information and think deeply.
   In conclusion, reading books, as a traditional means of acquiring information, is usually associated with dedication and discipline. It is worthwhile for people, especially children, to retrieve the habit of reading books.
