　　Patricia Blues,29，has a new aim life：to keep drivers' hands on their steering wheels and off their cell phones. On November 2,2007， Blues lived through a horrible experience. A motorist dialing a cell phone drove through a stop sign at 45 miles per hour and run into the side of Blues' car. Blues' 2­year­old daughter was killed immediately in the crash.

　　Blues has since dedicated her time to pushing for laws that would prevent this type of tragedy from happening again.

　　Cell phones are not the only distractions (分神) that cause accidents. Eating，changing CD，reading maps，talking to passengers，and just reaching for an object on the floor can be dangerous. Therefore，the emphasis should be on educating drivers to avoid all distractions.However， talking on cell phones might be easier to regulate than eating or changing music.At least 34 states have already passed laws to restrict cell phone use in moving cars. No state has banned it yet， but several U. S. cities have. Worldwide， 13 nations， including Australia，England， Germany， Japan and China have banned drivers' use of cell phones in moving cars.

　　To date， no scientific evidence has been published showing that talking on the phone affects driving safety. But according to a test by some high school students，“driving while on the phone does affect safety and probably shouldn't be done”.

　　If you are hungry，what will you do？Grab a piece of your favorite meal and stay quiet after that？Just like your stomach，even your mind will be hungry.But it never lets you know，because you keep it busy thinking about your dream lover，favorite star and many such absurd things.So it silently begins to heed your needs and never lets itself grow.When mind looses its freedom to grow，creativity gets a full stop.This might be the reason why we all sometimes think“What happens next？”，“Why can't I think？”and“Why am I always given the difficult problems？”Well，this is the after­effect of using our brain for thinking of not­so­worthy things.

　　Hunger of the mind can be actually satiated through extensive reading.But why is it reading but not watching TV？Because reading has been the most educative tool used by us right from the childhood.Just like that to develop other aspects of our life，we have to turn to reading for help.You have a number of books in this world which will answer all your“How­to”questions.Once you read a book，you just don't run your eyes through the lines，but your mind decodes it and explains it to you.The interesting part of the book is stored in your mind as a seed.Now this seed is unknowingly used by you in your future to develop new ideas.The same seed if used many times，can help you link and relate a lot of things，which you would have never thought of in your wildest dreams！This is nothing but creativity.The more books you read，the wider your mind will become.Also this improves your oratorical skills to a large extent and also makes a significant contribution to your vocabulary.When you start speaking English or any other language fluently with your friends or other people，you never seem to run out of the right words at the right time.

　　Actually，I had a problem in speaking English fluently，but as I read，I could improve significantly.So guys do join me and give food for your thoughts by reading，reading and more reading.Now what are you waiting for？Go，grab a book，and let me know！

　　语篇解读：第一段剖析了思维饥荒的严重性——大脑考虑无用的事，阻碍思维的创造性；第二段论证了阅读可以解决思维的饥荒，引发新的想法并激发创造力；第三段作者呼吁人们广泛阅读，解决思维饥荒。
