People read books less often these days. With the invention of radio, television and most recently, the Internet and computer games, it seems that reading books is no longer a popular activity. However, I believe that books are still an important part of our lives.
Books offer the outstanding wealth of learning and at a much lower price than taking a course. Books can make people much cleverer, because heavy readers have greater knowledge of how things work and who or what people are.
Everything in today's society requires reading. Imagine trying to do something as simple as reading the directions on a medicine bottle without good reading skills. Someone may not understand them and become very sick or even die.Even something as simple as walking or driving through the city could as become very dangerous without enough reading. Sometimes, you must be able to understand what is written and explain the meaning of them.
Some people say that reading is a waste of time and we can do better things with our time. Even if we don't read books, we still read every day, and reading books can strengthen (加强) our reading abilities. Reading is one of the greatest things we can do in our spare time. With a book, you can travel anywhere you want, do anything you want, and talk to anyone you want. Reading is very important in our lives. So I think people should read books.
1.What activity is less popular these days than before?

These days China has surprised the world with its new great inventions —— high-speed railways, Alipay(支付宝), shared bicycles and online shopping.
Lin Jinlong, a student from Cambodia enjoys his life in China and says, “my wallet is not used anymore. I can buy and eat whatever I want just with a tap(轻敲) of my phone. Even fruit sellers are using Alipay.” He laughed, “We can also order food at home, super fast and easy, but when I was in Cambodia, I had to go outside.”
Another student from Cambodia, Wu Mei, shared her experience of taking Chinese high-speed railway. It only takes half an hour from Beijing to Tianjin. For the same distance, people in Cambodia may spend three hours sitting on the train because there are only two railways.
Bernhard Schwartlander, World Health Organization Representative(世界卫生组织代表) in China is very excited about China’s bike-sharing. In his opinion, shared bikes are bringing bikes to people’s lives and they are making people start to use public transport(公共交通) such as buses and trains more often in modern time. “Also as we all know, it could mean a lot to our environment.” He explained.
It’s clear that China is developing fast and no longer copying western ideas. In fact, she is leading the world in many ways. Products and services have improved people’s experience, playing an important part in world economy(经济).

Taking a bus or subway in the United States, you can often see people reading books on their way to school or work. But in China, I hardly ever see people reading during their free time.
Are people’s attitudes (态度) toward reading different here? Not really. Data (数据) from Amazon China in December 2017 show that Chinese people still read a lot. They just like e-books better than traditional books.
However, other data show that reading is still more popular in the US than in China. Is there a reason for this difference? I’m not sure. What I do know is that China has a rich history of literature from great Chinese literature like Romance of the Three Kingdoms (《三国演义》) to the modern science-fiction epic The Three-Body Problem (《 三 体 》). Chinese writers have created many wonderful written works.
Perhaps the difference starts from childhood. Reading textbooks and doing homework can make you feel quite tired. By the time you finish it, you might not feel like reading for fun. Chinese students have to read more and do more homework than US students. So that's why they might not want to read much in their free time.
But learning to love reading can be great. Reading can open doors to places, people and ideas that you cannot think of. Even just a small book has the magic to change your own personal thoughts and attitudes. Where will your next book take you?
1.Americans often when they take a bus or subway.
A.work B.read C.sleep
2.The difference in reading between China and the US may start when .
A.they are children B.they are teenagers C.they are old enough
3.Why don't Chinese students want to read a lot in their free time?
A.Because the great Chinese literature is difficult to understand.
B.Because they spend too much time on textbooks and homework.
C.Because they might feel like reading textbooks for fun.
4.We can learn in the last paragraph.
A.reading makes a full man
B.reading is the key to traveling
C.reading teaches you to play magic
5.What can you infer from the passage?
A.Chinese students are busier with schoolwork than American students.
B.Amazon China is a famous book that Chinese people read a lot.
C.Traditional books are more popular among Chinese people.
