Today we have many ways to learn and enjoy ourselves. But why do many people still do some reading every day?

First, reading books is fun. You can always make your friends feel happy if you like reading. This is especially useful when the weather is bad. It is a relaxing hobby too. You can really become lost in a book.

Next, you can read a book in a car, in a waiting-room, on a plane, in bed – even in the bath. All you need is a book! Reading is a convenient (方便的) hobby as it is easy to stop and then start again.

Another good reason for reading books is that it is useful. If you read as a hobby you will get better and better at it. This means that you will read faster and will become better at understanding what you read. As your reading improves, you will probably find your schoolwork becomes much easier. Many school subjects depend on good reading and, as you read, you learn more and more.

Some people say that reading is out of date（过时）. This is not true. You have to be able to read to use a computer, and the better you read, the better your computer skills will be. Reading is hardly out of date!

Good readers are most likely to be good writers, too. They are usually good at spelling as well, and have more things to write about. Reading books is a wonderful hobby. What other hobby could be more useful, or more enjoyable!

In my spare time, I paint designs on T-shirts. I got the idea two years　 1　　　 for my 2　　　 　birthday present. The shop wanted $ 20 for a special design 3　　　 a T-shirt, so I decided to do it 4　　　 . I bought a white cotton T-shirt　 5　　　 　$6 and some paints, and I painted a lion on the front. My brother loved it!

Painting T-shirts is great fun. You 6　　　 　be a great artist, you can just paint shapes and lines. The T-shirts are the 7　　　 　expensive part of my hobby. Also you have to use special fabric paints and you need to buy good quality brushes.

I love my hobby 8　　　 　I can make T-shirts that no-one else has. I give a lot of them away　 9　　　 　presents to my family and friends. Sometimes, I sell them. Since I started, I’ve　 10　　　 　about 60 T-shirts and each one is different.　

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　

Some people bring out the best in you in a way that you might never have fully realized on your own. My mom was one of those people.

My father died when I was nine months old. Mom and I lived a very hard life. We had little money, but my mom gave me a lot of love. Each night, she spoke the words that would change my life, “Kemmons, you are certain to be a great man and you can do anything in life if you work hard enough to get it.”

At fourteen, I was hit by a car and the doctors said I would never walk again. Every day, my mother spoke to me in her gentle, loving voice, telling me that I could walk again if I wanted strongly enough. She drove that message so deep into my heart that I finally believed her. A year later, I returned to school — walking on my own!

When the Great Depression (大萧条) hit, my mom lost her job. Then I left school to support  both of us. At that moment, I decided never to be poor again.

Over the years, I experienced various levels of business success. But the real turning point happened on a vacation I took with my wife and five kids in 1951. I wasn’t satisfied with the second-class hotels available for families and was angry that they asked me an extra $2 for each child. That was too expensive for many American families. I told my wife that I was going to open a motel (汽车旅馆) for families that would never ask extra for children. There were plenty of doubters at that time.

Of course mom was one of my strongest supporters. She worked behind the desk and even designed the room style. But with my mother’s support and encouragement, I never doubted we would succeed. Fifteen years later, we had the largest hotel system in the world — Holiday Inn. In 1979 my company had 1,759 inns in more than fifty countries with an income (收入) of $ 1 billion a year.

You may not have started out life in the best situation. But if you can find a task in life worth working for and believe in yourself, nothing can stop you.
