     The arrival of World Book and Copyright Day always draws public attention to young people's
reading, but mere temporary attention cannot increase the popularity of reading. The lack of reading
books is becoming an increasingly severe problem in China.
    According to a survey by the United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization
(UNESCO), Shanghai residents read most in China, with only eight books read a year on average.
About 1.3 billion Chinese people read less than one book every year, if textbooks are not taken into
account.
    Nowadays, children's spare time is occupied by attending various tutorial classes, taking exam
preparation training, and learning piano, painting, dancing, weiqi, or other techniques.
    "Childhood is a good period for reading literature. Reading can wake up the true nature of children,
and good education should fit children's nature," said Zhou Yimin, who is also a teacher.
    Scholars are also worried about another adverse impact of the lack of reading. "If a child had never
read a book from beginning to end before the fourth grade, he or she may lack the ability to read an
entire book," said Jiang Junjing, an experienced teacher. What is worse, it may result in a lack of the
ability to grasp the whole situation. Children who lacked the ability to read an entire book in childhood
may end up being unable to grasp the whole picture or manage the whole team when they grow up.

                                        The elephant and the fly
     A disciple(信徒), who was disturbed by the fact that his mind was in constant unrest, asked his
teacher, "Why are most people’s minds restless? What can one do to still the mind?” The teacher
looked at the disciple, smiled and told him a story:
     An elephant was standing and picking leaves from a tree. A small fly came，flying and buzzing
(嗡嗡叫) near his ear. The elephant waved it away with his long ears. Then the fly came again, and
the elephant waved it away once more.
     This was repeated several times. Then the elephant asked the fly, “Why are you so restless and
noisy? Why can’t you stay for a while in one place? ”
     The fly answered, “I am attracted to whatever I see, hear or smell. My five senses pull me constantly
in all directions and I cannot resist them．What is your secret? How can you stay so calm and still?”
     The elephant stopped eating and said, “My five senses do not rule my attention. Whatever I do, I
get immersed in it. Now that I am eating, I am completely absorbed in eating. In this way I can enjoy
my food and chew it better. I rule and control my attention, and not the other way around.”  
     Upon hearing these words, a smile appeared on the disciple’s face, “I understand! If my five senses
are in control of my mind and attention, then my mind is in constant unrest. If I am in charge of my five
senses and attention, then my mind becomes calm.”
