【正确答案】 1、正确答案：Books are my beloved in youth, my soul mate in middle age, and my companion in my later years. With books at my side, I will never feel lonely, nor fear social snobbery or fickleness of the world. Books have made me wealthy in the inner world. I cannot do without them even for a single day. When I am tired after finishing my work, or when I am angry or in a bad mood, I will try to get close to books for comfort, for it is a wonderful way for me to find spiritual consolation.
