A new survey says that 85% 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 11.5 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 28) 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 an average of three times a year. Data shows that kids and teens who do a lot of reading, compared to those who dont like reading, have more books in the home, and more books brought 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 youre one of the countless people who dont develop a habit of reading, you might be missing out. Everything you read fill your head with new bits of information, and you never know then it might be useful. The more knowledge you have, the better equipped you are to deal with any challenge youll face.

I didnt want to express my ideas in public, even in class. Every time I wanted to say something, I thought people would laugh at me. My friends couldnt understand me, and they left me, one by one.One day, my science teacher asked us why trees in forests were much taller than those in the wild. “Ha, what a silly question!” I thought.“Theres not enough space in the woods for trees to expand their branches. Of course they have to grow taller than others. The trees in the wild neednt do that since theres enough space. ” I said in a low voice.To my surprise, the teacher said, “Yes, youre right. It is a competition. ” My face turned red right now. I hadnt spoken for a long time, especially in public.Then the teacher explained how tree s in forests had to grow taller to receive more sunlight. If not, they would die. This also happened in our society.Whats more, the tree that doesnt live in a crowd is just like a person who has no friends in life.I raised my head slowly and found the teacher was looking at me.
