作文素材As canbe seen from this vivid picture, a candle burning prosperously isholding a big book, smiling with much satisfaction. Thanks to the bookin its hand, it seems as if it is brighter and brighter. What aninstructive and thought-provoking sight it is!
Whatthe cartoon seems to convey to us may turn out to be the implication: fortunefavors the man who values book-reading. Undoubtedly, throughbook-reading, one can absorb the essences of thoughts and ideas of the greatestminds or elites in various cultural areas. Furthermore, reading books is also a process of accumulatingfundamental knowledge for further invention and innovation, which isparticularly essential to youngsters. Let’s consider Jordan Hill who
was an outstanding philosopher. He had advocated book-reading all through hislife, admitting that “magical books had brought me many sweet fruits during mypursuit for success。” Similarly, such is the same case with our personalstudy。
Frommy perspective, it is book-reading that leads us to attain theultimate dream of success, for book cannot simply make ourknowledge profound and extensive, but enlighten our thoughts. Andaccordingly, it is high time that we should become aware of this andcultivate the habit of reading books. If you intend to be a better andqualified contributor to our national construction of science and technology,you ought to act up right now!(来源：万学教育)
