　　China is ridding itself of corruption(腐敗) today. It’s no surprise, uption currently catches on in China. China is the top country where the show is being wildly pirated(盜版) on Chinese websites. The Chinese government has also featured prominently on the show. Even high-ranking Chinese political officials have been known to watch religiously this show and keep up with the exploits of Frank Underwood. Some Chinese politicians consider Underwood as a role model, fans create special videos to honor the show, and many viewers like to learn about American politics and society from the show, even though what they learn from the show may not be totally accurate.

　　The Importance of Reading

　　Everyone knows that reading is important, but have you ever asked yourself why that is so? In this post, I will list out some reasons why reading is important.

　　1．________Through reading, you experience and explore new things, new information, new ways to solve a problem, and new ways to achieve one thing. You might find your new hobbies within it. You might actually explore one thing you really like and it may end up becoming your career and success in the future. Exploration begins from reading and understanding.

　　2．________Reading does help you form a better you, doesn’t it? Through reading, you begin to understand the world more and have a greater understanding of a topic that interests you, for example: how to build self-confidence, how to make a plan better before taking action, how to memorize things better and more. All of these start from reading.Through reading, you

　　create a structured path towards a better understanding and better action to take in the future.

　　3．________The more you read, the more you know one thing: the A to Z of a thing. Let me give an example here: reading allows you to learn more about crocodiles and their habits. Then you know you need to be aware of places they usually lurk (潛伏) for the purpose of staying away from being harmed or bitten. It can also help you find out the truth of something？Reading also increases the understanding of the rules of life, o understand the rules well.

　　4．________When you are reading, you are actually obtaining the knowledge from someone. It can speed your success towards a goal, as you don’t need to repeat the same mistake while focusing on the right path in achieving one thing.

　　Life is too short for you to keep repeating the mistakes that were done by other people in the past, in order for you to reach the results that someone might have already reached. There are more than 4 thousand billionaires and 12 million millionaires today. To become one of them, the first thing is to learn and get to know their past. It is what they did in the past that makes them where they are today. Reading is a great path to get to know them, and learn from these great people.

　　5．________Communication is the most important tool which can be transmitted through reading. As you communicate through reading, you understand more, and thus you can communicate better with people. Through reading, you build a more solid foundation for communication. It is one of the most important tools we use every day to connect with each other. Whereas if you don’t read, you can’t even connect with the world and what people are talking about out there, including understanding what this article is all about.
