Question

Reading books helps you open different windows to many colorful worlds. But today few Chinese people like to read. In 2012, a Chinese read an average （平均） of 4.39 books. Things are different in many other countries. A South Korean （韩国） man reads 11 books a year, a Japanese reads 17 and an American reads 21 books.

What to read

In China, many people only read self-help （自助） books. These books are usually about how to get success and health. In the US, teachers give students a reading list every few weeks. These books are about everything, like science and adventure （冒险）.

How to get good reading habits

Read in short periods （周期）. If you can’t concentrate for a long time, this way is helpful. 10 minutes on the way to and from school, 10 minutes when waiting for friends, 15 minutes before going to sleep. Then it's 45 minutes a day, about five hours a week.

Make your own reading list. Your list can be the best selling books on famous websites like The New York Times, Dangdang.com, or same books your teachers tell you to read.

Talk about your reading with your family or friends. It doubles （加倍） the fun to read. The more fun you get from books, the more books you will read.
