题目内容
12.But the number of people reading books is dropping.A recent survey tells us that Chinese people only read 4.77printed books a year on average(平均) and in the US,25percent of the population say they didn't read a book last year!So what's stopping people from reading?
The answer of course is the huge influence that technology has had on our life.Why read a book when you can watch a movie or TV play on your smart phones or iPads?For younger people,books may not be as exciting as online games.With stories you have to work at it,closely follow the turns of the plot(情节).There are no shortcuts with a book.You have to turn page after page.
But you can still get lost in a book.We all have this thing called imagination.It's much more powerful than any computer; in fact,it's worth remembering that any online game was first written in words as a story by its writer.It's all about his or her or their imagination.
So we need to read-if we do not read,it will be hard for us to improve our ability to think widely,to have an imagination.Reading is a process in which we need to compare and connect other things we have read and seen in the past.If you do not read,this will not only influence your study,but also your social life in the future.
So why not follow me from now on?Run a hot bath,or find a comfortable chair and read a good book for a few hours-there are quite many,for free,in your local library.
