A young man was getting ready to finish school．For a long time he had looked forward to getting a beautiful sports car．He knew his father could well afford it, so he told him that was all he wanted．

    Then on the morning of his graduation（畢業）, his father called him into his private study．His father told him how proud he was to have such a fine son, and told him how much he loved him．He handed his son a beautiful gift box．Surprised, the young man opened the box and found a lovely Bible（圣經） with his name on it．Angrily, he raised his voice to his father and said, “With all your money you give me a Bible?” He then rushed out of the house, leaving the Bible．

    Many years passed and the young man was very successful in business．He had a beautiful home and a wonderful family, but realizing his father was very old, he thought perhaps he should go to see him．He had not seen him since that graduation day．Before he could make arrangements（安排）, he received a phone telling him his father had passed away． He had to come home immediately and take care of the things that his father left his father left him．

    When he began to search through his father’s important papers, he saw the still new Bible, just as he had left it years ago．He opened the Bible and began to turn the pages．As he was reading , a car key with a tag（標牌） dropped from the back of the Bible．On the tag was the date of his graduation, and the words…”PAID IN FULL”．Sadness and regret filled his heart．

The holiday’s upon us．After months of study, you have some time to yourself．So, why not read a book? Well, some people will say, “Why trouble with books? We have the Internet and other media（媒體）that offer a lot more colorful programs．Books are history!”

    But don’t be fooled．There’s still a lot to be said for reading-and reading as widely as possible．

    One clear reason is that a well-chosen book is a wonderful collection of words and expressions, so long as you have a good dictionary, of course．Believe me, it’s far easier to get new English words and expressions from a book or article than it is from the TV or the Internet．

    But an even more important point is that books give you something that modern media simply can not: The webpage（網頁）is always full of pictures and the text is often designed（設計） to make it as easy to read as possible．

Though “easy” may be welcome, unluckily it’s of little use for any long-time development of reading skills and the general language level．For that, there’s still no substitute（替代品）for a book．

But perhaps the best single reason is that simply choosing what you read and doing it by yourself means that it’s something you do by and for yourself．You can choose what you want to read．It’s hard work, but while you are reading, you’ll find that what once seemed like a duty is now a pleasure．

1． Compared with the Internet, a well-chosen book can help us________．
