Question

【题目】Listen to your books

With the development of technology and the Internet, there is a new trend（趋势）in reading audiobooks. More people are choosing to listen to audiobooks these days, according to this year's national reading report.

The report was released by the Chinese Academy of Press and publication (CAPP ). It shows that audiobooks have become quite popular among most readers. One in three adults listen to audiobooks. They mainly use popular audio sharing platforms（平台）like Ximalaya.

Kids have also been a main driver（主要驱动力）in the development of audiobooks. Ximalaya noted that the value of audiobook purchases (购买）made by those aged 13 to 18 in 2018 increased by 330 percent over that of 2017, the Beijing Evening News reported.

In addition, around 26. 8 percent of children under 3 years old listen to audiobooks. Most of them listen at least once a week. Their favorite categories（分类）are "stories for kids" and "poetry reading".

One of the reasons audiobooks have taken off is that people want to get more use out of their free time, China News Service reported. Whether they're at the gym, on a bus, or in bed, people can enjoy reading without a heavy paper book or an e-reader. Faster internet speeds mean one can download a whole book in just seconds, according to Wei Yushan, director of CAPP.

Audio app content designers have invited broadcasters (播音员）and production(制作）groups to join in content production. Both the quality and number of audiobooks being offered have greatly improved. More people can find the audiobooks they like the most, the report says.
