Nowadays we have entered a new era, an era featuring fast-paced life and rapid changes. It seems to many that they cannot slow down and take a break from the busy schedule. It is uncommon for them to spend a huge chunk of time reading. Therefore, for those who are really passionate about reading, they might be able to slow down and collect their thoughts. Also, they might gain something valuable that only reading can offer.

　　（在这个快节奏、变化迅速的新时代，许多人感觉自己停不下来，无法从繁忙的日程中抽身。对他们来说，花大把时间来阅读似乎变得不常见。然而，对于那些真正热爱阅读的人来说，他们或许能够放慢脚步，整理思绪。同时，他们也可能从中获得只有阅读才能提供的独特价值。）

　　思路点拨

　　01

　　首先点出阅读的重要性，现在很多人被生活和工作所困，接着引出主题和这个人物

　　——我的朋友Louis

　　Truth be told, many people around me are always in a hurry. They live a fast-paced life, which means they don’t have extra time to take a break, let alone read a book in their leisure time. It is beyond their imagination that someone can actually manage their time and read books with full concentration. So when I see this topic, my friend Louis springs to my mind.

　　回答How you knew him

　　下文说在派对上认识他，他非常有书生气质　　As I recall, I knew him a few years ago at a party. He gave me the impression of an avid reader who has an insatiable appetite for reading just a first glance by the way he talked and dressed. By that I mean, he had the air of a writer or a knowledgeable scholar,exuding confidence, composure and elegance.

　　03

　　详细展开为何他喜欢读书，给出了原因

　　原因1：博览群书

　　原因2：非常认真读书

　　原因3：读书有疗愈身心的作用　　For him, reading has already been an integral part of his life, something he can’t live without, even just for a day. He once told me, if I remember correctly, that he devoured all kinds of books ranging from literary novels, military, politics to even philosophy. When he read these books, he didn’t just read them from cover to cover. Instead, he paid close attention to even the minutest detail that might escape the attention of others. It was this rapture with minute details that increased his understanding of knowledge in different fields. Another reason he gave me for his burning passion for reading is that reading has a soothing effect, which is kind of like a sedative, that calms his nerve and chases away his blues or worries. For example, when he was overwhelmed with work-related stress or he was put in a low mood due to some incidents in life, he would resort to books. When he sat down before the desk and open the book, he was transported to a different world, a world that was worry-free. At times like this, he was able to gain inner peace.

And I’ve got to admit that I’m in awe of his knowledge and his unwavering commitment to reading. I hope everyone including me can find a sanctuary in reading or maybe seek some solace in the books.
