Reading is so important because it keeps our mind active.
One of the biggest problems in old age is that our mind can’t keep up anymore.
We become slower at doing things, our inspiration flies out the window and it becomes generally harder to use our mind for certain tasks.
Reading helps with this as we allow our mind to visit a new area we never visited before.
Reading helps our mind turn away from the world while indulging in other fantastical stories or learning about things we never knew.
This makes it easier to deal with the world once we come back after a long reading session but also prepares us more for the world.
We learn to see the world through the eyes of other people by reading their stories, learn new concepts through the words of someone else and visit fantastical places that we could never dream of ourselves.
All of this boosts our mind power in different ways as we think about things differently mostly because the author has their own voice.
阅读是如此重要，因为它使我们的大脑保持活跃。
人到老年时最大的问题之一就是我们的大脑已经跟不上了。
我们做事情的速度变慢了，我们的灵感飞出了窗外，而且一般来说，我们更难用我们的头脑来完成某些任务。
阅读有助于解决这个问题，因为我们可以让我们的大脑探索我们以前从未访问过的新领域。
阅读可以帮助我们的思维远离这个世界，同时沉浸在其他幻想的故事中，或了解我们从未知道的事情。
这使得我们在长时间阅读之后更容易应对这个世界，同时也使我们为这个世界做好更多的准备。
通过阅读他人的故事，我们学会了通过他人的眼睛来看世界，通过他人的语言学习新的概念，探索我们自己做梦都想不到的幻想之地。
所有这些都以不同的方式提升了我们的思维能力，因为我们对事物的看法不同，主要是因为作者有他们自己的声音。

We tend to see life only from one point of view… from our point of view, which is severely limited.
But when we read Biographies we learn about a new point of view, when we read novels we get to hear the authors soul tell us their story and when we read non-fiction books we read about what the author deemed important.
This puts us at the mercy of whoever wrote that book, but that is exactly why it is so important to read!
With our limited point of view we cannot possibly grasp everything there is to know from every angle, so we need other people to show us the different sides of life that we fail to see.
And sometimes all it takes is for us to shift our thinking by just 1° to open a whole new world of possibilities!
Reading allows us to dive into another persons point of view, which allows us to forget about our lives for a moment while learning to see the world from a new angle.
It allows us to learn, to experience, to fantasize and to keep our minds active so that even in old age we can still live!
So read on!
我们倾向于只从一个角度来看待生活...... 纯粹从自我的角度来看事物是非常有限的。
但是当我们传记时，我们会学到了新的观点，当我们阅读小说时，我们听到作者用自己的灵魂告诉我们他们的故事，当我们阅读非小说类的书籍时，我们会学到作者认为重要的东西。
这使我们受写这本书的人的摆布，但这正是阅读如此重要的原因!
由于我们的视角有限，我们不可能从每一个角度去了解一切，所以我们需要其他人向我们展示我们未能看到的生活的不同方面。
有时，我们所需要的只是将我们的思维偏移1°，从而开启一个充满可能性的全新世界！
阅读能让我们投入到另一个人的视角中，让我们暂时忘记自己的生活，同时学会从一个新的角度看世界。
它让我们学习，体验，幻想，保持我们的思想活跃，这样即使到了老年，我们仍然可以生活！
所以继续阅读下去吧！

‘Readers are leaders’.
Reading is important because it develops the mind. Understanding the written word is one way the mind grows in its ability.Learning to read is about listening and understanding as well as working out what is printed on the page. Through hearing stories, children are exposed to a wide range of words. This helps them build their own vocabulary and improve their understanding when they listen, which is vital as they start to read. Even as adults, when we read, we come across many new words we never really heard of. And we learn from this. As you read, you come across new words, phrases and writing styles.
Here are a few benefits of reading:
Reading builds confidence
Reading develops emotions
Reading helps you socialize
Reading improves memory
Reading broadens horizons
Reading improves vocabulary
Reading improves writing skills
Reading improves analytical skills
Reading makes you more empathetic
Reading develops critical thinking skills
Reading helps you learn at your own pace
Reading improves focus and concentration
Reading helps in better comprehension of things around you
“阅读者即领导者”
阅读很重要，因为它能开发思维，理解书面文字是思维能力增长的一种方式，阅读能让我们学会倾听和理解，以及弄清楚纸上写的是什么。通过听故事，儿童可以接触到广泛的词汇，这有助于他们提高自己的词汇量，提高他们在听的时候的理解力，这在他们开始阅读的时候是至关重要的。
即使作为成年人，当我们阅读时，也会遇到许多我们从未真正听说过的新词，而我们也从中学习，当你阅读时，你会接触到新的单词、词句和写作风格。
以下是阅读的一些好处：
阅读建立自信
阅读培养情感
阅读有助于你的社交活动
阅读提高记忆力
阅读可以开阔眼界
阅读提高词汇量
阅读提高写作能力
阅读提高分析能力
阅读使你更有同情心
阅读培养批判性思维能力
阅读帮助你按照自己的节奏学习
阅读提高注意力和集中力
阅读有助于更好地理解你周围的事物

I read quite a bit, every day probably and I mostly like fiction.
I think reading is pretty important too and a lot of people enjoy stressing this to you throughout your life- mainly parents and teachers.
These are the reasons I read:
I get told to.
It gives me a great new insight into the ideas of others and their minds and enables me to think differently about situations and my life.
It educates me on how to write and different techniques which can help me in writing.
Reading Quora also enables me to learn more writing skills and meet new, interesting people and hear stories which are better than any of those you'll find in a novel.
It enables me to escape into a different world and immerse myself into characters I can relate to in a world I enjoy to imagine and plunge into.
unless I can submerge myself into a great story I find it difficult to stay gripped but I find reading valuable and enjoyable; it can make you think, laugh, pained, caring, free and smarter!
我读了很多书，可能每天都在读书，而我最喜欢读小说。
我认为阅读很重要，在你一生中很多人喜欢向你强调这一点——主要是父母和老师。
这些就是我读书的原因。
我被告知要阅读。
它让我对别人的想法和他们的思想有了新的认识，使我能够对事物和生活有不同的思考。
它教会我如何写作，使用不同的技巧，这可以帮助我写作。
阅读Quora也使我能够学习更多的写作技巧，认识新的、有趣的人，听到比你在小说中找到的任何故事都要精彩的故事。
它使我能够逃离到一个不同的世界，让自己沉浸在一个我喜欢的想象和投入的世界中，代入与我有共鸣的角色。
除非我能将自己沉浸在一个伟大的故事中，否则我很难保持全神贯注，但我发现读书是有价值的和令人愉快的，它能让你思考，让你欢笑，让你痛苦，让你关心，让你自由，让你更聪明！

I am having my holidays.
My brother in law calls me and asks me to read.
"Read anything/everything. Keep reading. Keep feeding your brain one or other things." He says.
He is the most composed person I have ever known. In his free time, he reads whatever comes in his hand.
Reading is really very important.
It opens windows for you to get fresh air. It opens the door and lets you step out so that you can experience the world outside the shell you have been living in for years.
Reading helps you know whether the world outside is smooth, tough or plausible. Whether you can fit into it.
Knowledge gives you space to expand. The more you read, the more you make yourself compatible. You become compassionate and analytical. Empathy comes to reside in you.
Start reading to feel the difference.
我正在放假。
我的姐夫给我打电话，让我去读书。
"读任何书/读所有的书，保持阅读，保持给你的大脑提供养分"他说。
他是我见过的最沉稳的人，在他的空闲时间，他读手头上的任何东西。
阅读真的非常重要。
它为你打开窗户，让你获得新鲜空气，它打开门，让你走出去，这样你就可以体验你已经生活了多年的外壳之外的世界。
阅读帮助你了解外面的世界是否平静、艰难或合理，以及你是否能融入其中。
知识给了你扩展的空间，你读的书得越多，你就越能使自己融入这个世界，你变得富有同情心和分析力，也更有同理心。
开始阅读吧，感受其中的不同。

I love to read. I'm more of fiction reader. Reading is important to me because I'm able to transport myself into a whole different world. I'm able to feel what the characters in the book are feeling. I'm able to relate to some of the characters. I'm able to imagine a scenario and use the descxtive words to help paint a picture in my head.
I feel reading is so magical, even more magical than movies. Every person has a different imagination. If 10 people in a room would read one page out of a book, and then asked to draw what they imagined, each persons drawing would vary. That's the power of a book.
I like to read on Quora because of the many experiences, stories, and information that's shared. I can learn, without having to go to a school or facility. I'm able to learn on my own terms, without force. I feel that's the best kind of education and/or knowledge.
Reading is really important and magical to me, there isn't anything better than reading.
我喜欢阅读，我比较喜欢读小说。
阅读对我很重要，因为我能够把自己带入一个完全不同的世界，我能够感受书中的人物，我能够与一些人物产生共鸣，我能够想象一个场景，并使用描述性的词语来帮助在我的脑海中描绘出一幅画面。
我觉得阅读是如此神奇，甚至比电影还要神奇，每个人的想象力都是有差异的，如果有10个人在一个房间里读同一页书，然后让他们画出自己的想象，每个人的画都会不同，这就是书籍的力量。
我喜欢在Quora上阅读，因为这里有许多经验、故事和信息的分享，我可以在这里学习，而不必去学校或机构，我能够按照自己的条件学习，无需强迫，我觉得这就是最好的教育和知识来源。
阅读对我来说真的很重要，很有魔力，没有什么比阅读更好了。

Although I stopped going to school at thirteen. I know a lot of stuff because of reading. I read all the time. From the back of the cornflake box to the back of a train ticket. Reading is knowledge. I awake with the online editions of the New York Times and the London Times. I like to be informed it is the only way to make decisions. I also always have at least two books on go. One will be a factual history or biography and the other fiction.
I cannot envisage a life without reading.
虽然我十三岁就不上学了，但因为阅读，我知道了很多东西。
我一直在阅读，从玉米片盒子的背面文字到火车票的背面文字，阅读就是知识，我一醒来就看《纽约时报》和《伦敦时报》的网络版，我喜欢去了解事物，这是做出决定的唯一途径，我也总是保证至少有两本书在手，一本是事实性的历史或传记，另一本是小说。
我无法想象没有阅读的生活。

Quora Participants May Not Read as Much as You Think
You say: "The fact that you are on Quora means you read a lot," but it is important for all to understand that this is false. I understand what you mean - people seem to be more well-read here than on other platforms (especially Facebook). However, many Quora participants who give the impression of being well read are simply using a facade - they don't REALLY read.I say this is important because you should never feel intimidated here. At Quora we are all equals, and even if you have read little, you can add to discussions in a valuable way. Jump in and get involved because you are reading, writing, and thinking in a social community.This is so valuable.
Start reading more now, regardless of how much you have read in the past. Here are a few reasons why I say that.
Quora参与者可能并不像你所想的那样阅读那么多。
你可能说 " 我在Quora阅读这一事实就意味着我读了很多东西 " 但大家必须明白，这是不正确的。
我理解你的意思——与其他平台（尤其是非死不可）相比，这里的人似乎更博学，然而，许多给人以博览群书印象的 Quora 参与者阅读量大只是一个表象——他们并没有真正地阅读。
我上面说的这一点很重要，因为你在这里不应该感到害怕，在Quora，我们都是平等的，即使你读的书不多，你也可以以有价值的方式加入讨论，你可以参与进来，因为你是在一个社会化的社区中阅读、写作和思考，这是很有价值的。
现在就开始多读书，不管你过去读过多少书，以下是我为什么这么说的几个原因：

As a Teacher and Writer, I Read a lot, but Others Read Far More
I am in English, reading, and writing as my vocation. I taught advanced reading and writing to university freshmen - juniors for 12 years at several different schools. I now blog and write professionally full time.
I bring this up because I am passionate about the value of teaching and practicing language skills. They are they highest evolved skills on earth, which is reason enough to employ them frequently. I don't employ them enough and many here read much more than I.I have seen students mature and grow most quickly through great reading than any other means. Reading is the best way to learn, especially when combined with writing.Conversely, many more young people plateau (or decline) intellectually because they refuse to engage in the hard work of reading. If you read well, it is always difficult, no matter how smart you are.
作为一名教师和作家，我读了很多书，但其他人读的书更多
我以英语、阅读和写作为职业，我在几所不同的学校教了12年的大学一年级至二年级的高级阅读和写作，我现在全职从事博客和写作。
我之所以我提出这一点，是因为我对教学和练习语言技能的价值充满热情，它们是这个星球上进化程度最高的技能，这足以成为经常使用它们的理由，我运用得还不够，这里的许多人都比我读得更多。
我目睹了学生通过大量的阅读比任何其他方式都更快地成熟和成长，阅读就是最好的学习方式，尤其是与写作相结合的时候。
但相反，更多的年轻人在智力上停滞不前（或下降），因为他们拒绝参与艰涩的阅读，不管你有多聪明，读书总是很难的一件事。
I am in English, reading, and writing as my vocation. I taught advanced reading and writing to university freshmen - juniors for 12 years at several different schools. I now blog and write professionally full time.
I bring this up because I am passionate about the value of teaching and practicing language skills. They are they highest evolved skills on earth, which is reason enough to employ them frequently. I don't employ them enough and many here read much more than I.I have seen students mature and grow most quickly through great reading than any other means. Reading is the best way to learn, especially when combined with writing.Conversely, many more young people plateau (or decline) intellectually because they refuse to engage in the hard work of reading. If you read well, it is always difficult, no matter how smart you are.

Reading Develops and Nurtures Our Most Important Capacity as Humans
On a more personal level, I find that I grow through all kinds of reading. I become a more empathic - animal, individual human, neighbor, community member, citizen, sibling, son, father, husband, etc. Empathy refers to our ability to think, feel, imitate, learn from, communicate with, and comprehend ideas of other animals (including human animals).
Written words (especially fiction) have the unique power to connect one mind with others. For example, in reading Huckleberry Finn, you emotionally experience the thoughts, feelings and actions of others, on an intimate level. Neurologically, your brain imagines that it is actually living the experiences of Huck and Jim.
This is scientifically proven in neuroscience, but not completely understood. This Ted Talk on the subject of empathy, imitation, reading, and learning through mirror neurons just might blow your mind:
The neurons that shaped civilization
by Neuroscientist Vilayanur Ramachandran
While the talk does not discuss reading very specifically, it clearly explains what happens when you read. You think and feel as other people which has so many benefits that I could not begin to list them.
阅读可以发展和培养我们作为人类最重要的能力
从更个人的角度来说，我发现我是通过各种阅读来成长的，我变得更有同情心——动物、个体、人类、邻居、社区成员、公民、兄弟、儿子、父亲、丈夫等等，移情是指我们思考、感受、模仿、学习、交流和理解其他动物(包括人类)想法的能力。
书面文字(尤其是小说)具有独特的力量，可以将一个人的思想与其他人的思想联系起来，例如，在阅读《哈克贝利·费恩历险记》，你可以在情感上亲密地体验了他人的想法、感受和行为，从神经学的角度来说，你的大脑会想象自己体验哈克和吉姆的经历。
这在神经科学中得到了科学的证明，尽管我们还没有完全理解其中的奥妙，这个关于同理心、模仿、阅读和通过镜像神经元学习的TED演讲可能会让你大吃一惊。链接：《塑造文明的神经元》——神经学家Vilayanur Ramachandran
虽然这个TED演讲没有非常具体地讨论阅读，但它清楚地解释了当你阅读时会发生什么，你会像其他人一样思考和感受，这有很多好处，我无法一一列举。

Fit, Fully Evolved Humans Read to Learn, Grow, and Understand
The benefits I discuss above have little to do with knowledge gained through reading. I speak of changes that take place in the human brain while reading that help us empathize with and understand others.
Add to that list what other people typically point out about reading, and you have the answer to your question (but you too can add many other ideas):
Acquire new knowledge of the world, life, and the universe
Gain information about the history of the universe up through today
Ask significant questions and find answers to the important issues concerning existence and sentience.
Collect new ideas that you might not generate on your own
Develop a foundation of knowledge so that you can rise above it, creating new questions and answers that no other human has added to our collective knowledge. This is innovation and genius, and it requires reading.
Educate yourself for free, making you better able to function within society as a functional citizen.
Help ensure that your mind remains vigorous in later years as you age.
Find answers to problems that you need to solve.
Draw from the best minds ever to life on earth, and add to what others have accomplished so that you elevate human civilization.
Employ a skill that no other animal has evolved.
Transcend your small world to see other places, civilizations, and people.
Help to transmit to future generations the knowledge and progress that humans have made over vast amounts of time.
健康的、完全进化的人类通过阅读来学习、成长和理解
我上面讨论的好处与通过阅读获得知识关系不大，我说的是阅读时人脑发生的变化，这些变化帮助我们同情和理解他人。
再加上其他人通常指出的关于阅读的好处，你就有了问题的答案（但你也可以补充许多其他想法）：
. 获得有关世界、生命和宇宙的新知识
. 获得迄今为止有关宇宙历史的信息
. 提出重要的问题，并找到有关存在和知觉等重要问题的答案
. 收集你自己可能不会产生的新想法
. 扩大知识基础，以便你能超越它，创造出集体知识的新问题和答案，这就是创新和天才，它需要阅读
. 免费教育自己，让你更好地在社会中发挥作用，成为一个有用的公民
. 帮助确保你的大脑在晚年随着年龄的增长而保持活力
. 为你需要解决的问题找到答案
. 从地球上有史以来最优秀的头脑中汲取营养，并为他人的成就添砖加瓦，从而提升人类文明。
. 运用一种其他动物没有进化出来的技能
. 超越你的小世界，看到其他地方、文明和人民
. 帮助把人类在漫长岁月中取得的知识和进步传递给后代。

"Your life depends on it!" Is absolutely 100% true.
The idea that your happiness and fulfillment as a human depends upon reading accurately characterizes its importance. You cannot maximize your human life and experience without reading a lot (or even listening to books). This may sound harsh, but as we know, the truth can be painful.
“你的生命取决于阅读!”绝对是100% 正确的。
作为一个人，你的幸福和满足取决于阅读，这种观点准确地描述了阅读的重要性，没有大量的阅读(甚至是听书)你不可能最大化你的人生和经历，这可能听起来很残酷，但是我们知道，真相可能就是那么痛苦。
