【正确答案】[范文] On Reading Francis Bacon once wrote, 'Reading makes a full man.' While the ancient Chinese scholars believed that in books we can find not only gold but also gorgeous beauty. Actually, it might be proper to say that through reading, one perfects in nature, grows in wisdom and along the way harvests fame and fortune. Firstly, reading offers people a platform to communicate across time and space with the greatest minds living long ago and far away. Through reading, one starts a journey of self-discovery, perfects his nature, and hopefully learns how to fit in the world. Secondly, reading liberates and inspires people's mind, and presents to him or her a fuller picture of wherever he or she may find interest. Through reading and experiencing, one's wisdom grows. With their natural abilities and wisdom growing, fame and fortune pursued by so many people will only be within easy reach eventually. For the world to be better, human race greater, and each individual fuller, greater importance must be attached to reading.
