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.

25、have true love, true friendship, good health and a long life. However, this is not always true.Nothing else is more pleasant than the three words which are I love you. But can love be bought? Im afraid not. Love means to give, not to take. To every person, health and long life are probably the most
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
27、te, strangers to fight and so on. No matter how much money you have, it is still not enough to make you a happy person if you have no one to laugh with, no one to cry for.32.
