文章大意:本文是一篇议论文。主要讲述了青少年在空闲时间一直在阅读,他们不只读书,还阅读电子邮件和信息,以及在网络上阅读文章等。父母担心这不是正确的阅读方式,他们可以帮助孩子经常读书。
Ask an adult, “What do teenagers do in their free time?” A large number of adults’ answers will probably include playing video games, watching movies and TV, and hanging out (闲逛) with friends. 41
Most of these answers are wrong. Fewer teenagers watch TV or go to the movies these days. They even hang out with friends less often than before. 42 They read all the time. As a matter of fact, they read more often than their parents. They aren’t just reading books. Instead, many teenagers read e-mails and messages. They read articles on websites and posts on social media. They get a lot of reading practice every day.
Parents worry that it’s not the right kind of reading practice, though. 43 Actually, any kind of reading is good for teenagers, helping them develop skills that they will need in their later life. Their memories will become stronger, and their vocabularies will become wider.
Online, they can search for many different things to read. 44 However, books are still better. They are easier to focus on. Teenagers understand and remember more from them. Also, reading books helps teenagers to stay away from social media. Using social media too much causes stress and depression.
45 First, they should make books available around the house. Then, they should read to their kids as often as possible or give them time to read. Finally, they can form good reading habits by reading books. Kids copy the habits that they see.
