【正确答案】
More People Reading in Free Time

This graph shows that more and more people read in their free time in China nowadays. We can see from the graph that the percentages of people who read increase greatly from 4 percent to 18 percent in the last eight years. In 2000, only 4 percent people read in their free time, while in 2004 9 percent, and in the year of 2008, almost 18 percent people read in the free time. We can also find that the increasing trend is keeping going.
The reason for changes is as follows. One is that our nation emphasizes the building of spirit civilization. The other one is that people realize the importance of knowledge. The role the knowledge plays becomes more and more important in people's life.
This situation is very encouraging. People will benefit from the knowledge. In this way, our whole nation will become stronger and more powerful.
