book are our friend !
Though he is serious in appearance, he never fails to be interesting. Often he is clever, sometimes even gay(充滿(mǎn)樂(lè)趣的). He is the most knowledgeable friend a person could have. He almost knowsevery language of the world, all the events of history, and the words of all the great poets and philosophers. A kindly benefactor(施主), he is admired and enjoyed by everyone who makes his acquaintance.
To me, he has been a great teacher as well as a friend. He first taught me the secrets of my own language and then those of others. With these keys he showed us how to unlock all the arts and sciences of man.
My friend is endlessly patient. Dull though I may be, I can return to him again and again, and he is always ready to teach me. When I am bored, he entertains me. When I am dispirited(情緒低落的), he lifts me up. When I am lonely, he keeps me company. He is a friend not only to me but to millions around the world.
Shall I tell you his name? His name is “Reading”.
