Reading is getting more popular among young Chinese． A new survey says that 85% of young people in China read at least 1 book last year． The number of young people who are reading has been rising in recent years， especially for teenagers， who read an average（平均） of 11.5 books．

The data（数据） shows that teenagers spend much more time reading from school textbooks to some other reading materials， such as novels， e﹣books， magazines and so on． But younger children （ages 2﹣8）are mainly reading for fun． Compared with the past， the time teenagers spend on pleasure reading has dropped．

When it comes to technology and reading， the surver suggests little．It does point out that many parents control the time of electronic reading， mainly because of worring about increased screen time． However， most Chinese parents are helping theie children to develop a reading habit． They are served as examples for their children． More than 70% of Chinese parents spend at least 20 minutes a day reading to their children aged 0 to 8 years old， and visit bookstores with them an average of three times a year． Data shows that kids and teens who do a lot of reading， compared to those who don't like reading， have more books in the home， and more books brought for them． Their parents read more often， and would like to spare time to read with them．

When was the last time you read a book？ If you're one of the countless people who don't develop a habit of reading， you might be missing out． Everything you read fill your head with new bits of information， and you never know then it might be useful． The more knowledge you have， the better equipped you are to deal with any shallenge you'll face． Remember that although you might lose something else， knowledge can never be taken away from you．

Now open a book， and feed your soul．
