问答题On a flight from Frankfurt to Shanghai, a foreign engineer noticed row after row of Chinese passengers deep into their iPads, playing games or watching movies. None was doing any reading. The engineer posted his observation online and got a tidal wave of responses, most of which corroborated his view. Before we get to “Why Chinese do not read”, I’ll reveal the spoiler, which is the most frequent defense. “We read. We just do not read in the same way as the old generations do. We rely on modern gadgets for faster access.” It is true that you cannot claim that only content on a printed page is knowledge. Anything that’s printed can be displayed digitally. There are millions of books available in digital form. And true electronic books can incorporate sound and video, thus enhancing the reading experience. To those who believe they can get anything and everything from the Web, I’ll hereby add my two cents’ worth: Yes, you can, but you won’t do it. My publishers (I work with several publishing houses in China) told me that most of the best-sellers in China are textbooks or supplement reading material, in other words, books that students are forced to read, or rather, forced to buy. So, let’s compare China’s best-seller list with that of the New York Times. While the latter has a mix of serious books, especially about history, and celebrity memoirs, the former is almost totally nothing. A walk through an airport bookstore will bring you more doom and gloom: mostly how-to-get-rich titles written by those who’ve done it or who claim to have the secret recipe. On top of that, there are buyers of books in China who decorate their rooms with wall-to-wall tomes but never bother to open the pages. Yes, people do read in China to enrich their bank accounts, but not to enrich themselves comprehensively.

问答题Man was the last to come but the first to use his brain for the purpose of conquering the forces of nature. That is the reason why we are going to study him, rather than cats or dogs or horses of other animals, who, all in their own way, have a very interesting historical development behind them.【】In the beginning, the planet upon which we live was (as far as we now know) a large ball of flaming matter, a tiny cloud of smoke in the endless ocean of space. Gradually, in the course of millions of years, the surface burned itself out, and was covered with a thin layer of rocks . Upon these lifeless rocks the rain descended in endless torrents, wearing out the hard granite and carrying the dust to the valleys that lay hidden between the high cliffs of the steaming earth. Finally, the hour came when the sun broke through the clouds and saw how this little planet was covered with a few small puddles which were to develop into the mighty oceans of the eastern and western hemisphere.【】Then one day the great wonder happened. What had been dead gave birth to life . The fires living cell floated upon the waters of the sea. For millions of years it drifted aimlessly with the currents. But during all that time it was developing certain habits that it might survive more easily upon the inhospitable earth. Some of these cells were happiest in the dark depth of the lakes and the pools . They took root in the slimy sediments which had been carried down from the tops of the hills and they became plants. Others preferred to move about and they grew strange jointed legs, like scorpions and began to crawl along the bottom of the sea amidst the plants and the pale green things that looked like jelly-fishes. Still others (covered with scales) depended upon a swimming motion to go from place to place in their search for food, and gradually they populated the ocean with myriads of fishes. Meanwhile the plants had increased in number and they had to search for new dwelling places. There was no more room for them at the random of the sea. Reluctantly they left the water and made a new home in the marshes and on the mud-banks that lay at the foot of the mountains. Twice a day the tides of the ocean covered them with their brine. For the rest of the time, the plants made the best of their uncomfortable situation and tried to survive in the thin air which surrounded the surface of the planet. After centuries of training, they learned how to live as comfortably in the air as they had done in the water . They increased in size and became shrubs and trees and at last they learned how to grow lovely flowers which attracted the attention of the busy big humble-bees and the birds who carried the seeds far and wide until the whole earth had become covered with green pastures, or lay dark under the shadow of the big trees. But some of the fishes too had begun to leave the sea, and they had learned how to breathe with lungs as well as with gills. We call such creatures amphibious, which means that they are able to live with equal ease on the land and in the water. The first frog who crosses your path can tell you about the pleasures of the double existence of the amphibian.
