The 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China points out the importance of reading and calls on people to read more books, so shared bookhouses have appeared in many places. Reading has become a trend in our country.
A reading campaign (行动) took place in Shenyang in April, 2023. Many people took part in it. Li Hong, a girl from a junior high school, said, “My mother and I took part in the campaign because both of us like reading. Books are our necessary furniture in our house. I know a lot about Chinese classic (经典的) works. Reading makes my life colourful and will change my dream into reality (现实).”
Reading is one thing, but knowing how to read and what to read is another.
There are mainly three kinds of reading: recreational reading, study-type reading and survey reading. Recreational reading can bring you much fun. You can read at a relaxed speed. Study-type reading usually needs you to read the text very carefully to understand the ideas and details. Survey reading is a way of reading fast to get the main idea or find the information you need.
What kind of books should you read? Emerson, a great writer and thinker, had three rules: never read a book that is not a year old; never read any but famous books; never read a book you don’t like.
Good books can lift you to a higher plane (境界). Whatever you read, read with interest, with the whole mind. Try to be a best reader. If you are getting the most out of a book, you will do things more confidently. Reading is rewarding (有益的)!

3 . Have you ever heard of Hainan Tropical Rainforest National Park? It is our own “Amazon”. If you travel there, what can you enjoy?
Animals
The park is home to Hainan gibbons (长臂猿). They look like monkeys, but have no tails. They eat fruits and leaves from over 130 kinds of plants. In the 1980s, there were fewer than 10 gibbons in the park. In 2022, there were 36 because people protected their homes and planted trees. |
|
The park is a “live museum” of plants. It is also the home to 133 kinds of national key protected plants. Cycas hainanensis (海南苏铁) is an example. It has big, feather-like leaves. It grows slowly, but can live as long as 200 years. It probably won’t grow flowers or fruits in North China. But in Hainan, cycas hainanensis over 10 years old blossom (开花) and bear fruits almost every year. |  |
Miao and Li people have lived in the park for generations (世代). Their houses look like upside-down boats. They are built above the ground to keep away animals. Li people make clothes from bark (树皮).

9 . When I was at university in the UK, I would often have long train trips. I could do a lot on these trips. I’d read for the day’s lesson on the way in. Or I’d plan my essays(论文)on the way home. I could also do creative writing while enjoying the views. I’ve always thought, wouldn’t it be cool if trains could be more like libraries? Well now, in China, there are trains that do just that!
According to a CCTV News report on February 20, a “study train” now runs between Chongqing and Xiushan county. In some carriages（车厢），desks and chairs have taken the place of seats by windows to let people study while traveling. A slow train that runs along the Chengdu-Kunming Railway has also become like a “school bus”. Students from nearby schools use their travel time to finish homework on the train.
In the UK, lots of students study in their local library after school, while many grownups take their work into cafes and bars. Many also do their work commuting（通勤）. But there’s rarely（很少）a space on the train to call your own and really focus（专注）.
It’s great that there are trains in China that build up a good study atmosphere（氛围）. Maybe, the UK can do something similar.

10 . We all use them every day. It would be hard to live without them. We are talking about toilets!
World Toilet Day was on November 19. Why do we celebrate it?
Toilets are a big thing in our lives. They take away our waste and keep our homes and communities healthy. Even today, 3.6 billion people in the world still do not have safe toilets, the United Nations said.
One gram of human waste may have 10 million viruses and 1 million bacteria. These make us sick or even kill us. That’s why we should care so much about toilets.
How many times do you use a toilet each day? Around seven times, said scientists. In total, you will spend about three years of your life on the toilet!
Many people use this time to do other things. Some like to read while in the bathroom and even put bookshelves in there. Some like to talk with friends or family on their phones. Others like to study or work. There were many famous “bathroom artists” in history. The great Song Dynasty writer Ouyang Xiu wrote many poems on the toilet.
