Reading is getting more popular among young Chinese. A new survey says that of young people in China read at least 1 book last year. The number of young people who are reading has been rising in recent years, especially for teenagers, who read an average (平均) of books.
    The data (数据) shows that teenagers spend much more time reading from school textbooks to some other reading materials, such as novels, e-books, magazines and so on. But younger children (ages 2-8) are mainly reading for fun. Compared with the past, the time teenagers spend on pleasure reading has dropped.

When it comes to technology and reading, the survey suggests little. It does point out that many parents control the time of electronic reading, mainly because of worrying about increased screen time. However，most Chinese parents are helping their children to develop a reading habit. They are served as examples for their children. More than 70% of Chinese parents spend at least 20 minutes a day reading to their children aged 0 to 8 years old, and visit bookstores with them about three times a year. Data shows that kids and teens who do a lot of reading, compared to those who don’t like reading, have more books in the home, and more books bought for them. Their parents read more often, and would like to spare time to read with them.

When was the last time you read a book? If you’re one of the countless people who don’t develop a habit of reading, you might be missing out. Everything you read fills your head with new information, and you never know when it might be useful. The more knowledge you have, the better-equipped you are to deal with any challenge you’ll face. Remember that although you might lose something else, knowledge can never be taken away from you.

Now open a book, and feed your soul (心灵).

27. Why do many parents control the time of their children’s electronic reading?

A. E-books are expensive.

B. It may harm children’s health.

C. It’s very hard to order.

D. It could be a waste of time.

28. How should parents encourage their children to read more?

A. Talk with their teachers to encourage them in developing reading habits.

B. Buy more books for them in bookstores or borrow some from libraries.

C. Ask them to read more books every day through setting up reading groups.

D. Act as role models for them, read for their children and read for themselves.

29. What’s the survey mainly about?

A. Teenagers’ after-class activities.

B. Parent-child relationships.

C. Young people’s reading habits.

D. Read more often for fun.

30. Which one of the following is most probably to be discussed next?

A. Introduce some books for young people to read.

B. Encourage parents to read more after work.

C. List some different opinions about reading.

D. Develop children's writing habits gradually.

How to be a Better Student

Dear friends:

As the double reduction policy came out, how to be a better student become more and more necessary for us. Besides working hard at school, we should also do some other things to make us better.

I think we should arrange our spare time reasonably. There are lots of things we can do, wasting time is not good for us. Meanwhile, we’d better develop some new hobbies, such as collecting stamps or drawing pictures. As for me, I like drawing very much, now I have enough time to draw pictures every Sunday afternoon, it makes me so happy that I can study much better the following Monday. Not only a strong body but also a clever mind is necessary in the future, so why don’t we do more sports to keep healthy and read more to widen our scope of knowledge. They certainly can help us be better too.

Hope everybody will be better. Thank you very much!
