6 Benefits of Reading Every Day 每天閱讀的6大好處 Reading is good for more than just entertainment. Committing part of everyday to reading printed books can make you a smarter, kinder, more relaxed individual. And the positive effects can be felt at any age: Even before they’ve fully developed their reading skills, kids can benefit from having access to printed materials and being read to on a regular basis. Exposing kids to books, magazines, and more at an early age is a great way to encourage them to be life-long readers, which means they’ll reap these benefits for years to come. 讀書不僅可以用來娛樂消遣。每天花一些時間讀一些紙質書會讓你變得更加聰明、更加友善以及更加放松。讀書的好處無論處于什么年紀都可以感受得到。即使是對于還未充分掌握閱讀技巧的孩子們而言,閱讀紙質書以及定期聽故事都可以讓他們獲益。讓孩子在幼年時就接觸各種書籍、雜志等可以鼓勵孩子們一生都熱愛閱讀,這也意味著在未來的數年當中,孩子們將收獲閱讀的成果。 1.READING CAN BOOST INTELLIGENCE. 2.閱讀可以益智 People who exhibit strong reading skills early in life grow up to be more intelligent. That was the finding of a study published in 2014 that measured the cognitive development of 1,890 sets of identical twins. When two twins shared the same genes and home environments, early reading skills appeared to be the factor that decided which twin would be better at both verbal tests (like vocabulary) and non-verbal tests (like reasoning tests). Because reading ability is something that’s learned, the study authors concluded that more emphasis should be placed on teaching strong reading skills to young children. 在幼年時就表現出良好閱讀技能的人長大后也會更加聰明。這一結論來自于2014年發表的一項研究。在該項研究中,研究人員衡量了1890組雙胞胎的認識發育。對于兩對擁有相同基因和相同家庭氛圍的雙胞胎,早期閱讀技能似乎決定了哪一對雙胞胎在口頭測試(類似于詞匯)和非口頭測試(類似于邏輯測試)中表現更好。由于閱讀能力屬于一種習得性技能,因此研究作者認為,應把更多重心放在為幼童傳授良好的閱讀技能上面。 3.READING HELPS INCREASE EMPATHY. 4.閱讀有助于增加同理心 Reading books doesn’t just make you smarter—it can make you a kinder person as well. According to a study published in 2013, people who consume literary fiction have an easier time sensing and relating to emotions in other people. This effect likely has something to do with the way such books are written: Great literature forces readers to step outside themselves and empathize with the characters they’re reading about. 閱讀不僅會讓你變得聰明,還會讓你更加善良。根據2013年發表的一項研究,閱讀文學作品的人更容易體會到其他人的情緒。這一結果可能與作品的書寫方式有關:偉大的文學作品會讓讀者脫離自己,并移情于書中的人物。 3.READING CAN LOWER STRESS. 4.閱讀可以減壓 Feel stressed at the end of a long day? Cracking open a book is a good way to wind down. A 2009 study found that reading for just 30 minutes has similar stress-reducing effects to doing 30 minutes of yoga. 一天結束后感到壓力重重?翻開一本書是讓你放松下來的好方法。一項2009年的研究發現,只閱讀30分鐘就會產生和做30分鐘瑜伽相似的減壓效果。 wind down:逐漸放松下來 5.READING MAY CHANGE YOUR BRAIN. 6.讀書可以改變大腦 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. 即使當你停止讀書,閱讀的影響仍然存在于你的大腦。一項2013年的研究發現,當人們閱讀一本故事精彩且情節緊湊的小說時,即使是在閱讀后數小時,甚至數日,大腦仍會受到影響。閱讀者大腦中的左顳葉皮層(負責語言接收的區域)的聯系性變得更強,即使是在閱讀者停止閱讀后的數小時。這表明閱讀可以通過一種類似于肌肉記憶的過程訓練思維并改善神經功能。 temporal cortex:顳葉皮層 5.READING IS AN EXCUSE TO PUT YOUR PHONE AWAY AT NIGHT. 6.閱讀可以讓你在夜晚遠離手機 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 smartphone use 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. 如果白天太忙沒時間讀書,那么可以考慮在睡覺前蜷縮在床上讀一本好書。在睡覺前讀一本紙質書而非瀏覽手機(絕大多數人都會做的事)是一個更好的選擇。研究表明,晚上使用智能手機會導致入睡更加困難并導致睡眠質量總體下降。有些專家表示,閱讀則會起到放松的效果,并從而成為理想的入睡活動。 7.READING HELPS FAMILIES BOND. 8.閱讀可以讓家人之間的聯系更緊密 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. 閱讀并非一定是一項孤獨的活動。當父母大聲為孩子們讀書,他們可以將讀書的好處傳遞給孩子并鼓勵孩子和父母進行有意義的互動。為了讓孩子收獲閱讀的益處,父母應堅持閱讀紙質圖畫書。最近一項研究發現,與平板電腦和電子書相比,紙質書可以讓養育者和孩子們之前的聯系更加緊密。 來源:mentalfloss 編輯:質控部Susan
