写作。     阅读下面的短文，然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。
     The arrival of World Book and Copyright Day always draws public attention to young people"s
reading, but mere temporary attention cannot increase the popularity of reading. The lack of reading
books is becoming an increasingly severe problem in China.
    According to a survey by the United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization
(UNESCO), Shanghai residents read most in China, with only eight books read a year on average.
About 1.3 billion Chinese people read less than one book every year, if textbooks are not taken into
account.
    Nowadays, children"s spare time is occupied by attending various tutorial classes, taking exam
preparation training, and learning piano, painting, dancing, weiqi, or other techniques.
    "Childhood is a good period for reading literature. Reading can wake up the true nature of children,
and good education should fit children"s nature," said Zhou Yimin, who is also a teacher.
    Scholars are also worried about another adverse impact of the lack of reading. "If a child had never
read a book from beginning to end before the fourth grade, he or she may lack the ability to read an
entire book," said Jiang Junjing, an experienced teacher. What is worse, it may result in a lack of the
ability to grasp the whole situation. Children who lacked the ability to read an entire book in childhood
may end up being unable to grasp the whole picture or manage the whole team when they grow up.

答案

                                                                  Reading books
     According to a recent survey, the lack of reading books is a serious problem in China. Too busy
with school work and tutorial classes, children seldom have chances to read, which raises great
concern among the scholars about the serious consequence.
    I strongly believe that reading books are very important. Firstly, as Francis Bacon put it, “reading
makes a full man”. By reading different books, we perfect ourselves mentally.  “Histories make men
wise; poems witty; the mathematics subtitle; natural philosophy deep; moral grave; logic and rhetoric
able to contend”. Secondly, good books can delight, entertain and educate us. The importance of
reading books is gaining new insight or perspectives on issues and helps us to have a new understanding
of the world around. We can apply the insight in everyday life or as a way of building upon the
knowledge that already encompasses our mind and enrich our lives.
    One of my favorite book is Pride and Prejudice written by Jane Austen. Basically, this is a story of
courtship and marriage, but through the humorous, sometimes satirical tone of the author, I get to know
about how women lived their lives and what the upper and middle class people centered around in the
late18th century England. I smile at the wit of Mr. Bennet, laugh at the mindlessness of Mrs. Bennet. I
am totally impressed by Lizzy’s eloquence when she debated with Mr. Darcy, and equally moved when
Mr. Darcy finally admitted he had an affection for Lizzy. In a word, with this book, I temporarily escape
from the 21st century world, entertaining myself and at the same time broadening my horizon. 
     We read books for pleasure. They entertain us. And we read them for profit. They enlighten us.
Good books draw us into their imaginative worlds and engage us with the power of their invention.
They enlarge our understanding of ourselves and deepen our appreciation of life. Therefore, I think
reading books is very important.
