                                                                     Who Is Clever?
        Miss Helen taught physics in a school of London. Last week she was explaining to her classes about sound,
and then she decided to test them to see how successful she had been in her work. She said to them, "Mow, I
have a sister in New York. If I was calling her on the telephone, and at the same time you were 20 metres away,
and listened to me from the other side of the street. Who do you think would hear what I said earlier, my sister
or you, and why?" 
       One of the cleverest boy answered at once, "Your sister, Miss Helen, because electricity travels faster than
sound waves." 
       "That's very good," Miss Helen said. But then one of the girls put up her hand, and Miss Helen said, "Yes,
Molly." "I don't think so," Molly said. "Your sister would hear you later because when it's eleven o'clock here,
it's only six o'clock in New York."

World Book Day falls on April 23 every year. It was set up by the UNESCO(联合国教科文组织) in 1995 to encourage people, especially teenagers, to discover the pleasure of reading. It is also the day to honor great writer, for example, William Shakespeare, born or dead on that day.

Many countries celebrate World Book Day. Take UK as an example. On that day, millions of school children can buy books of special price, a much lower price than usual, in any bookstore. It has been done every year since 1998. World Book Day is also celebrated in China. Premier Wen Jiabao does lots of reading every day. Wen has called on people to do more reading. He suggested that young people should spend more time reading. “Book cannot change the world, but people can change the world by changing themselves through reading,” he said.

Why do people like reading? One big advantage is that reading helps us become more knowledgeable and more intelligent. Also, reading helps us to follow the latest developments of science and technology. Besides, reading gives us information about other cultures and places of the world. When we read, we may find many things that are unfamiliar to us. We would have to use our brain to think about them or do more reading to find out the answers. The more we read, the more we know. What’s more, reading is also one of the most important ways to learn a foreign language like English.

“Reading makes a full man”. Books, magazines, newspapers and other kinds of materials can help us to know more about the outside world and perfect us. So it is necessary for us to spend time on reading every day.

1.When is World Book Day?

2.In UK, what can school children do on World Book Day?

3.What did Premier Wen Jiabao suggest young people do?

4.How many advantages of reading are mentioned in the passage?

5.What does the passage mainly talk about?
