Recently a survey has been done to find out ___________________________

_______________________________________________________________________

Answer 1

【答案】

Recently a survey has been done to find out the average number of books each person reads every year in Israel, Japan, Iceland, France and China. According to the survey, Israel comes first with 64 books; Japan second with 40. Iceland ranks the third with 24, while France come fourth with 11. It’s a pity that China comes last with a miserable 0.7.

The survey shows there’s a great difference in terms of people’s reading rate in different countries, and Chinese people in particular lack the habit of reading.

In my view, this is a very serious problem. Knowledge is now recognized as the driving force behind economic growth. If we don’t read, how can we acquire the knowledge necessary to keep up with other countries?
