Reading, as you know, is a continuous and never ending process. If you do every little reading, or if
you read only material that offers no challenge to your comprehension, your reading will be of every little
use. Once we reach a certain age, or once our formal schooling is completed, many of us become so
restricted in our choice of reading that we rarely read any new type of reading experience. We tend to read
only books in our professional or business field, or only inspirational books, or only our favorite
newspapers every morning, or only one magazine for which we have developed a preference. And the
trouble starts here. You should neither read only for entertainment nor only for information but you should
also read for intellectual growth, for mental stimulation, for enriching your background of knowledge, for
wisdom, and for broader outlook and mature understanding.
What kind of books should you read to continue your intellectual growth, to gain a background for
opinion and for judgement? The answer is simple one: Read books in fields you have little or no
acquaintance with, books that will open for you new horizons of learning, books that will help you explore

new areas of knowledge and experience, books that will make the world and people more understandable to
you.

The best way, according to the zoo’s experts, to save Yong Liang from anemia would have been to transfuse
blood from another panda. But it was the breeding season for giant pandas, making such a transfusion very

to Yong Liang.
With the help of hospitals and the Beijing Blood Donor Station, they made an experiment which proved that
the red blood cells in the blood of black bears can be used.
