阅读的好处4-6

READING MAY CHANGE YOUR BRAIN.
阅读可能会改变你的大脑
Even after you put down a book, the effects of reading it are still present in your brain. A 2013 study discovered that when people read fiction with a strong narrative and plot, their brains continue to behave differently hours and even days later. The brains of readers show increased connectivity in the left temporal cortex—the region responsible for language receptivity—even hours after they've stopped reading. This suggests that reading can train the mind and boost neural function through a process that's similar to muscle memory.
即使你放下了书本,阅读的效果仍会存在于你的大脑中。2013年的一项研究发现,当人们阅读具有强烈叙事和情节的小说时,他们的大脑在数小时甚至数天后仍会表现不同。读者的大脑左颞皮质(负责语言接受的区域)即使在他们停止阅读数小时后,仍表现出持续增加的连通性。这表明阅读可以通过类似于肌肉记忆的过程来训练大脑和增强神经功能。

READING IS AN EXCUSE TO PUT YOUR PHONE AWAY AT NIGHT.
阅读是晚上收起手机的好理由
If you're too busy to read during the day, consider making snuggling up with a good book as part of your bedtime routine. Reading a physical book before going to bed is a great alternative to scrolling through your phone-something most of us admit to doing. Research has shown that using smartphone at night makes it harder for people to fall asleep and leads to an overall decline in sleep quality. Some experts say reading books, on the other hand, can have relaxing effects, making it the ideal bedtime activity.
如果你白天太忙没时间读书,可以考虑在睡前读一本好书。睡前读一本纸质书相比电子书是一个更好的选择,然而大多数人都爱通过手机阅读电子书。研究表明,晚上使用智能手机会让人们更难入睡,导致整体睡眠质量下降。一些专家说,从另一方面看,读书可以有放松的效果,使其成为理想的睡前活动。

READING HELPS FAMILY BOND.
阅读有助于增进家庭关系
Reading doesn't have to be a solitary activity. When parents read out loud to their children, they can pass on the benefits of reading and encourage meaningful interactions. To reap the positive effects of reading to kids, parents should stick to physical picture books. A recent study found that print books, in contrast to tablets and e-readers, can promote the deepest connections between caretakers and children.
阅读并不一定是一项单独的活动。当父母给孩子朗读时,他们可以把阅读的好处传递给孩子,并能鼓励有效的互动。为了使阅读给孩子产生积极影响,父母应该坚持阅读实体绘本。最近一项研究发现,与平板电脑和电子阅读器相比,纸质书能促进父母和孩子之间最深层的联系。
