五、阅读理解。
It is believed that reading is not only good for our self-development but also quite easy to do. There are so many benefits(好处）to read books.
Reading is a good way to deal with stress. In one study, reading was found to be effective（有效的）in reducing stress. When you are reading books, you can keep the noisy world out and needn't worry about the problems that
bother you. This means that reading can help you feel relaxed.
Reading protects brain health. If you read at least once a week, you probably have a better ability in understanding at an old age than those who do not. Because when you are reading, you actually keep thinking even imagining. And that is a good exercise for your mind.
Reading is an excellent bedtime activity. On the one hand, reading before bed can help you fall asleep in a shorter time. On the other hand, it is better for your eyes to hold a book while going to bed instead of your mobile phone.
All in all, there is no doubt that reading is good for you. Why not pick up a book to read right now?
