6．Tomorrow's World Book Day has inspired a slew of literary events throughout the capital．Xing Yi and Liu Zhihua report．
As World Book Day，April 23，approaches，various reading events are being held by government agencies，libraries and bookstores throughout the capital．
At the launch of the 5th Beijing Reading Season in Great Canal Park in Tongzhou district on Saturday night，81-year-old Yin Zhiguang，head of Beijing Elocution Troupe，led the audience in reciting a poem．
Activities focusing on different readerships will highlight World Book Day in bookstores throughout Beijing，such as picture book sharing for children in Xidan Book Building，conversations with musicians and authors for young people in Sanlian Bookstore，talks with diplomats for people interested in international affairs in Wangfujing Xinhua bookstore，and a 12-hour late-night reading marathon for night owls at One-Way Space bookstore．
Recently，we conducted a survey about how many extra-curricular books students read per year．On average，each student read 5.34books，which is definitely not adequate compared with their counterparts from the Western countries．It is upsetting to see the outcome．When asked what students in our school do in their spare time，they claim that they tend to watch TV and surf the Internet，for they can have great fun．Some students even complain that they are forced to attend some extra make-up classes so that they have no time to play，not to mention reading books．
School authority is planning to launch a campaign to encourage students to read more extra-curricular books．

With World Book Day drawing，various activities are held in Beijing to highlight the importance of book reading．But a recent survey shows students prefer to watch TV or surf the Internet rather than read books．
The survey sets me thinking why fewer students choose to read books in their spare time．There are some reasons accounting for this phenomenon．First of all，most students are burdened with too much homework．Still others haven't formed a habit of reading．They would rather spend their spare time on TV or the Internet for fun．
However，reading has many benefits．Through reading we can learn more about the world．Besides，it can help us think better．Last but not least，reading can make our life more colourful．
I think teachers are supposed to limit the amount of our homework so that we can have more time to read．For another，it's a good idea to form reading clubs and learn from each other．．

5．Paris shocks tourists
AH，Paris!The city d'amour （爱），where loved ones walk by the River Seine，kiss under the Eiffel Tower，and enjoy （36）B candle-lit dinners at the famous Le Meurice restaurant．Across the city，"love locks"，（37）Aof a couple's love are put on its famous bridges to stay there forever．But in the city of love，all is not as it seems．
Instead of romantic streets，there are dirty ones； instead of world-class service，there are（38）Cwaiters； and instead of carefully watched attractions，there are pickpockets．
These are some of the（39）Aof tourists visiting the French capital who have been shocked after（40）Da kind of Paris very different from the one seen in the popular films Chocolat and Amélie．
The"Paris syndrome （综合症）"，as it is known，describes the feeling of disenchantment （觉醒） after building up a romantic view of the city．
As there are expensive Louis Vuitton，Hermes，and Cartier stores on the famous Champs-Elysées，it is easy to see why 60percent of Chinese tourists（41）Cin Paris．But because they are often carrying large amounts of money，many Chinese tourists are being（42）Aby the city's pickpockets．
"Sometimes，Chinese tourists try to （43）Dan ice cream with a 500-euro （3，867-yuan） bill，"Jean-Francois Zhou，president of the Chinese association of travel agencies in France，told Bloomberg．"They usually change large amounts of yuan to （44）Bmoney-changing fees，and the use of credit cards isn't as （45）Ain China as it is in Europe，"he （46）B．
However，stories of rude Parisians have long been told （47）DEurope．The British have been teasing the French for being unfriendly for a long time，and even many French people outside of Paris admit that Parisians can be a little bad-tempered．But dig deeper than the general nice tourist interactions and you'll find a （48）Cside to Paris and Parisians．If you're willing to go to places that you might not see in postcards，there are many incredibly （极为） beautiful and surprising （49）Ahidden all around the city that will give you a taste of the romance you （50）D．Paris is simply a proud city that sometimes gets a little tired of tourists．

4．You took a midterm exam （25）hoping（hope） to get a 95 percent．When you got your test paper back，you received only a 70 percent．How do you handle the situation？Do you make a study plan for （26）improving（improve） your grade，use a persuasive argument to try and convince your teacher to give you （27）abetter grade？
Your answer to the above question shows your EQ，your emotional intelligence．What exactly is EQ？Psychologists Peter Salovey and John Mayer define it as the ability to understand your own feelings and emotions and （28）thoseof others．
Research supports the significance of EQ．A 40-year study of 450 boys found that IQ wasn't the only thing that affected life success．The qualities that did were the ability （29）to handle（handle） frustration，control emotions and get along with other people．
Can you improve a low EQ？Yes!Start by noticing how you feel．That's the first step in becoming more skillful at managing your feelings．Second，pay attention to how you behave when you feel certain emotions．Then analyze （30）howthat effects your daily life．Next，take responsibility for your feelings and actions．They come from you and no one else．Then you （31）will have（have） a higher EQ---and likely have a happier and more rewarding life as well．

3．There are 101 excuses for not writing or calling the media when you see unfair，biased or inaccurate news coverage："I don't know enough"；"I'm too busy"；"My computer crashed．"
（25）Communicating（communicate） with journalists makes a difference．It does not have to be perfect； not all letters to journalists need to be for publication．Even（26）aone-sentence，handwritten note to a reporter（27）canbe helpful．If you take the time to type a substantive letter，send copies of it to two or three places within the media outlet-perhaps to the reporter，his or her editor，as well as to the letters-to-the-editor department．
If media outlets get letters from a dozen people（28）raising（raise） the same issue，they will most likely publish one or two of them．So even if your letter（29）doesn't get（ not get） into print，it may help another one with a similar point of view get published．Surveys of newspaper readers show that the letters page is among the most closely read parts of the paper．It's also the page policy-makers look to as a barometer of public opinion．
（30）Whenyou write to journalists，be factual，not rhetorical （带修辞色彩的）．Do not personally attack them； that's more likely to convince them that they're in the right．Address them in the language that most journalists（31）are trained（train） to understand．Call on them to be responsible，professional，balanced and inclusive of diverse sources and viewpoints．
Letters（32）that/whichare intended for publication should usually be drafted more carefully．
