Look around when you're on a subway．What's the most popular time﹣killing activity？In China，many people play on their cell phones．But in other countries，many people enjoy reading．Chinese people read an average（平均）of 4.5 books during 2015，according to a recent survey．While a US citizen reads 21 a year and a Japanese reads 17，according to UNESCO（联合国教科文组织）．

Reading books builds a bridge between our life and the unknown world．In many foreign countries，people read at any time．Even backpackers enjoy reading books when they're on a break at the beach，or relaxing from a hike．

In most US middle schools，teachers give students a reading list every few weeks．Most books are easy reads like youth novels．Some schools then hold competitions by asking students details（细节）of a book．

Good reading habits lead you to a lifelong love of books．

In order to encourage people to read more，China's planning to foster（鼓励）the habit of reading in its law．Although this has both good and bad sides，it can be seen as a way to develop one's reading habits．What can we do to foster good reading habits？

•Read in short periods．Ten minutes on the way to and from school，10 minutes waiting for friends，15 minutes before going to sleep．That totals 45 minutes per day，about five hours per week．

•Make your own reading list．Your list can be the best﹣selling books on famous websites like The New York Times or Dangdang．com，or books your teacher recommends（推荐）．

•Talk about your reading with your family or friends．
