Reading is a good hobby for all kinds of reasons.

First, reading is fun. You can always keep yourself happy if you like reading. You will never feel bored or tired.

Next, you can read a book anywhere— in a car, on a plane, or even in the bathroom. All you need is a book！

Another good reason for reading is that it is useful. If you read as a hobby, you will get better and better at it. And you will read faster and find it easier to understand what you read. As you reading skills improve, you will probably find your schoolwork becomes much better.

Some people say that reading is out of date(过时的). This is not true. You can read on computers, and the better you read, the better your computer skills will be.

Good readers may become writers, too. They always have more things to write about.

Have you ever complained (抱怨) why life is so tiring? Does the sky sometimes      dark to you? Are your lessons sometimes not successful? Well, friends, cheer up and       all the time. If you see the world with your warm heart, you will find the whole world smiling to you..

Not long ago, a friend of mine decided to read a lot of books to get      knowledge. So he went to the library and     happily with several books. But after a few days, he felt bored. The idea of finishing all of the books seemed     , because it was     for him to sit quietly to read a whole book. He didn’t know what to do. Then one day, he suddenly thought of “Why not make reading fun?” It gave him      again. Reading is a journey of spirit(心灵之旅). Every time when we     a book, we are actually talking     the writer. Since then, he tried to spend more time reading books, so he could feel all of the writer’s happiness and sadness. And reading is     boring, but kind of interesting.

Attitude can make a great     . Someone once said, “     the situation is bad, people are free to choose their attitude.” So, don’t complain about the situation. It helps     . For example, one day the weather is fine. You and your friends want to go for a picnic. Just before you go, it  suddenly starts to rain. Maybe you would feel very      and start to complain about the weather. But dear friends, why  don’t you sit down and listen to the free concert that the nature brings you? And with the timely rain, crops(庄稼) in the fields will grow better and farmers will have a good harvest (收成).

Attitude decides everything. With an optimistic (乐观的) attitude, life is easy and happy. Let’s smile to     we meet and the whole world will smile to us.
