World Reading Day was set up by the UNESCO in 1995to encourage people,especially teenagers,to discover the pleasure of reading.
Many countries celebrated World Reading Day.Take the UK as an example,on that day,millions of schoolchildren can buy books of special price,a much lower price than usual,in any bookstore.It has been done every year since 1998.World Reading Day 2010in the UK will take place on Thursday 4th March.Please note that this date applies to the UK and Ireland only.The initiative is so well established in schools there that they want to make sure that the Day happens in term time to really make the most of this opportunity to celebrate books and reading.Most other countries hold World Reading Day on 23rd April every year.
World Reading Day is also celebrated in China.Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao,an avid reader,does lots of reading every day though he is very busy.On World Reading Day 2009he encouraged citizens to do more reading.Wen suggested that young people should spend more time reading."Books cannot change the world,but people can change the world by changing themselves through reading."
Reading can benefit people in many ways.Reading helps us to follow the latest developments of science and technology.Reading gives us information about other cultures and places of the world.Reading is also one of the most important ways to learn a foreign language like English.
"Reading makes a full man"(Bacon,1597).Books,magazines,newspapers and other kinds of reading materials can help us to know more about the outside world and perfect us.Therefore,it is necessary for us to spend time on reading every day.

As we know,knowledge may be acquired through many ways,the best of which is reading.In the age of high technology,reading deserves to be paid attention to.
To begin with,it is the most flexible way of getting information.Many people think it not only helps them better understand society as well as nature,but also broadens their horizon.Additionally,reading,to some degree,is of great benefit to interpersonal communication apart from self-improvement.It can also enrich our life and bring people pleasure.What's more,reading is also regarded by many as a means of better survival.
Books are to mind what food is to body.However,not every book is worthy of being read.Some may mislead readers.So keep in mind that choosing a good book is likemaking a good friend.Besides,reading is supposed to be done in a proper period of time,for example,in our spare time,thus not disturbing our work or study.As long as we insist on reading,we can get improved gradually.
Personally,I appreciate reading classical literature in my spare time,which provides me with a thorough understanding of life and society.Through practicing reading between the lines and beyond the lines,I find my comprehension ability stably improved.Perhaps in the near future,I'm not merely a reader but also a writer..
8.Editor Henry Slocum,
I read your May 10th article in the local newspaper Honesdale Times about electronic books,or e-books,with great interest.You made several good points about the disadvantages of e-books.You may have overlooked,however,some of the ways in which they are superior to traditional books.Yes,e-books are expensive,but they are also convenient.In addition,due to their environment-friendly nature,e-books have the potential to change our planet for the better.
E-books,for anyone who is unfamiliar with the term,are about the same size and shape as regular books.They have a large screen in the middle,however.This screen shows the reader a  page of text that has been downloaded from a computer.Once the reader has finished reading the  page on the e-book screen.he or she scrolls down to see a new page.The process continues until the entire book has been read.
As you pointed out.Mr.Slocum,it's great to lie on a warm,sandy beach with a book.You can do that just as easily with an e-book as you can with a traditional paper book.In fact,because e-books are so light,you can carry them anywhere.Say,for example,that you like to read on the bus.Which would you rather carry with you-a heavy 800-page novel,or an e-book that weighs only a few ounces?
Another important advantage is offered by e-books as well.They are more environmentfriendly than traditional books.At present,thousands of trees are cut down each year to meet the publishing industry's demand for paper.Books that don't sell are eventually returned to the Dublisher and destroyed.This terrible waste could be avoided if everyone used e-books,which require no paper.
Sincerely,
David Eng

On the morning after the rainstorm,a man was walking on the beach,enjoying the beautiful view of the nature.Suddenly,he found thousands of starfish(海星) trapped in the shallow puddles(水坑) on the beach.As the sun rose,the water in the puddles was disappearing and the starfish began to struggle for life desperately.However,they still had no hopes to go back to the sea not far away.
As the man continued walking,he noticed a little boy picking up the starfish one by one and throwing them into the ocean.Then he went over and asked the boy,"What are you doing?"The boy replied,"I'm throwing starfish back into the water.If I leave them here,they'll dry up and die."The man said,"But look how many starfish there are.What you're doing can't possibly make a great difference to all of them."As the boy picked up another starfish and threw it into the ocean,he said,"Well,it makes a difference to this one!"Then he added,"Though I can't save all of them,I can make some of them survive with my efforts."
Moved by the lovely and warm-hearted boy,the man bent down to pick up the struggling starfish and threw them into water.Every time he threw the starfish into the water,he felt their fate was changing.

A man noticed a boy repeatedly picking up the trapped starfish and throwing them into the sea despite being unable to save all of them.Consequently,the man was moved and joined the boy to save the struggling starfish.
Reading the impressive story,I find the boy was so kind-hearted that he should really deserve praise from all the people.Young as he was,he fulfilled what was incredible to people.Actually,the young boy set a good example,especially to the young.
My meaningful experience of offering help to a schoolmate will never escape from my memory.When I was in Senior Two,one of my schoolmates suffered from a severe and rare disease,which cost his parents all their savings and even put them heavily into debt.For lack of money,he was unable to get further medical treatment.Knowing this,I together with my classmates called for all the students and friends to collect money for him.It was our timely efforts that helped him out of hardships.Eventually he was saved.
As the saying goes,"A small act of kindness goes a long way."Therefore,I appeal to all the people to get involved in the campaign of offering a hand to others.I think only when we offer assistance to each other voluntarily can we live in a harmonious society..

Once upon a time in a land far away,there was a wonderful old man who loved everything:animals,spiders,insects…
One day while walking through the woods the nice old man found a cocoon(茧)of a butterfly.He took it home.A few days later,a small opening appeared; he sat and watched the butterfly for several hours as it struggled to force its body through that little hole.Then it seemed to stop making any progress.It appeared as if it had gotten as far as it could and it could go no farther.
Then the man decided to help the butterfly,so he took a pair of scissors and cut off the remaining bit of the cocoon.
The butterfly then came out with ease.
But it had a swollen body and small,shriveled(萎缩的)wings.The man continued to watch the butterfly because he expected that,at any moment,the wings would enlarge and expand to be able to support the body.Neither happened!In fact,the butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling around with a swollen body and shriveled wings.It never was able to fly.
What the kind-hearted man did not understand was that the restricting cocoon and the struggle required for the butterfly to get through the tiny opening were Nature's way of forcing fluid(液体)from the body of the butterfly into its wings so that it would be ready for flight once it achieved its freedom from the cocoon.
Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our life.If we were allowed to go through our life without any hardships,it would fail us.We would not be as strong as what we could have been.And we could never fly.

A kind man cut a cocoon open in order to lessen the pain of a butterfly when he saw it struggling out of the cocoon,only to find that it could never fly because of his help.
The story sets me thinking.Our life is more or less like this.Sometimes,struggles or obstacles in our life are a must for our growth.It is these struggles or obstacles that increase our willpower and contribute to our success.Without these trials,we could never achieve our life goal just as the butterfly did in the story.
Nowadays,with only one child in most families,parents do whatever they can to satisfy the child's needs and even do for him what should be done by himself.Consequently,the child is unable to look after himself without his parents'presence.Too much care from parents deprives children of chances to grow strong by conquering obstacles.
  If I were a parent,I would first keep him well informed that life is never easy and that he should be ready to face any difficulties.Besides,I would expose him to the hardships in life instead of protecting him from difficulties,providing them with chances to fight for his bright future by conquering challenges..
