Benefits of reading

閱讀的好處

Improved Focus and Concentration

提高注意力和集中力

In our internet-crazed world, attention is drawn in a million different directions at once as we multi-task through every day. In a single 5-minute span, the average person will divide their time between working on a task, checking email, chatting with a couple of people (via gchat, skype, etc.), keeping an eye on twitter, monitoring their smartphone, and interacting with co-workers. This type of ADD-like behaviour causes stress levels to rise, and lowers our productivity.

在這個網絡時代，每天紛雜的任務讓我們的注意力會被無數的事物所吸引。在短短的5分鐘時段里，一個人要把它劃分為完成任務、查看郵件、和一群人聊天（gchat, skype等等）、刷推特、設置手機、和同事交流等。這種疊加的行為模式提高了壓力水平，減少了我們的效率。

When you read a book, all of your attention is focused on the story—the rest of the world just falls away, and you can immerse yourself in every fine detail you’re absorbing. Try reading for 15-20 minutes before work (i.e. on your morning commute, if you take public transit), and you’ll be surprised at how much more focused you are once you get to the office.

看書的時候，所有的注意力都集中在故事上——周圍的一切似乎都不存在了，你可以盡情的沉浸在任一細節里。試著在工作前閱讀15-20分鐘（如果你乘公共交通，那就在早班車上），然后你就會發現進辦公室那一剎那會注意力更加集中。
