Look around when you’re on a subway. What’s the most popular time-killing activity? In China, many people play on their cell phones. But in other countries, many people enjoy reading. Chinese people read an average(平均) of 4.5 books during 2015, according to a recent survey. While a US citizen reads 21 a year and a Japanese reads 17, according to UNESCO(联合国教科文组织) .
Reading books builds a bridge between our life and the unknown world. In many foreign countries, people read at any time. Even backpackers enjoy reading books when they’re on a break at the beach, or relaxing from a hike.
In most US middle schools, teachers give students a reading list every few weeks. Most books are easy reads like youth novels. Some schools then hold competitions by asking students details(细节) of a book.
Good reading habits lead you to a lifelong love of books.
In order to encourage people to read more, China’s planning to foster(鼓励) the habit of reading in its law. Although this has both good and bad sides, it can be seen as a way to develop one’s reading habits. What can we do to foster good reading habits?
●Read in short periods. Ten minutes on the way to and from school, 10 minutes waiting for friends, 15 minutes befor e going to sleep. That totals 45 minutes per day, about five hours per week.
●Make your own reading list. Your list can be the best-selling books on famous websites like The New York Times or Dangdang. com, or books Your teacher recommends(推荐) .
●Talk about your reading with your family or friends.

A group of old classmates, who have succeeded in their work, got together to visit their teacher. Their conversation soon turned to complaining (抱怨) about the stress (压力) in their work and life. The teacher went to the kitchen and returned with a large pot of coffee and many cups. Some of the cups are expensive and lovely, but some are cheap and not beautiful. The teacher told them to help themselves to the coffee.
When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the teacher said, “Have you noticed all the nice-looking expensive cups were taken, leaving behind the cheap ones? It’s OK for you to want only the best for yourselves, but that is why you have the stress in your work and life even if you’re very successful now.”
“All of you really wanted the coffee, not the cups, but you chose the best cups and were eyeing each other’s cups.”
“Now think about this: life is the coffee, and money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold life. They do not change the quality (质量) of life. Sometimes, we just care about the cups, and we fail to enjoy the coffee. So, don’t let the cups drive you, enjoy the coffee instead.”

Dear Terry,
How are you doing? In your last letter, you asked me about being a guest to a Chinese friend’s home. Now, I am writing to inform you of some relevant details.
To begin with, according to our tradition, you are supposed to arrive early, so that you can help the family prepare the dinner, which is not only meaningful but also interesting. Besides, you’d better bring some gifts, such as a book or a Chinese knot. What’s more, when you are enjoying the meal, you need to avoid making noises while chewing food.
Hopefully, these suggestions would be helpful for you. I have the confidence that you will have a great time.I am looking forward to your good news.
Best wishes!
Yours,
Li Hua
