18．Reading is the key to success．Apparently（顯然地） every successful person develops a passion for reading．This is because reading is important to get the information required to understand something．For instance，lawyers have to study and learn every established（確立的） law on their specific branches（分支）．Sometimes the law changes according to people's needs．A good lawyer has to be informed about the latest news in the court．A doctor has to be informed of the latest advances in medicine．
Reading is very important for all mankind．Everything is relative in this world，especially reading．Reading can open many doors and it can lead you into a path of success．Studies have confirmed（證實(shí)） that reading to your unborn child is very good．This way your child will develop a passion （熱愛(ài)）for reading．
How do you develop a passion for reading？There is only one way you can develop your passion for reading．Let me explain this to you．If you want to learn how to ride a bike，you have to get on the bike as many times as possible until you have learned．It works the same way with reading．If you want to boost your reading，take a book and read it all the way through．When you finish reading your first book，take another book and do the same．Try to read as much as you can．If you are going out，grab a magazine，a book，an article or something to read．
There is a very important factor behind the reading-reading comprehension（閱讀理解）．It's what makes you understand the meaning behind the text．Let's assume（假設(shè)） that you read a document and you are supposed to explain the meaning of the document．How would you explain the document if you couldn't understand the message of the author？
