For much of history, reading was a fairly noisy activity. Today, however, the majority of us bottle the words in our heads as if (sit) in a library.
Recent studies provide ample evidence the ancient art of reading aloud has a number of benefits, from helping improve our memories strengthening emotional bonds between people.
According to a research on the impacts of reading on memory, people consistently remember words and texts (well) if reading them aloud than if reading them silently. This phenomenon has been named the "production effect", which means that producing (write) words-namely, reading them out loud-improves our memory of them. Even just silently mouthing the words makes more memorable.
One reason why people remember the spoken words better is that it gives us additional basis for memory. We are (general) better at recalling events that require active involvement. For instance, producing a word in (respond) to a question makes it easier to remember.
In time when our interactions with others and the large amount of information we take in (be) all too transient (转瞬即逝的) , perhaps it is worth making bit more time for reading out loud.
