If you are hungry，what will you do? You may eat your favorite meal and be contented after that．Just like your stomach，your mind can be hungry．But it never lets yon know，because you keep it busy thinking about your dream lover，favorite star and many such absurd（荒谬的）things．

The hunger of the mind can be satisfied through a lot of reading．Reading has been the most helpful tool used by us from childhood．There are so many books which will answer all your questions．When you read a book，you don't just run your eyes through the lines，but your mind also explains it to you．The interesting part of the book is kept in your mind as a seed（种子）．Now this seed is unknowingly（不知不觉地）used by you in the future to develop new ideas．

The more books you read，the more your mind will open up．Also this improves your speech skills a lot and makes a big contribution（贡献）to your vocabulary．Please give food to your thoughts by reading，reading and more reading!
