    Recently, the result of the national reading survey has been announced and it paints a brighter future for reading habits in the Internet times. Last year,21,270 men from 55 cities answered the survey. It showed that the Chinese people's reading rate increased slightly over the year before. Reading rate means the percentage of citizens regularly reading books, newspapers and digital (数字)reading materials.

    The survey shows that the daily reading time and yearly reading number of paper books,printed newspapers and magazines have dropped, while digital reading has continuously increased.Every day Chinese people use different digital devices like mobile phones, personal computers or iPads for 100.41 minutes on average (平均),15.5 percent higher than the year before.

    According to the survey, Chinese people's reading habits have changed because mobile phones provide more chances to get different kinds of reading materials on digital platforms. More than 50 percent of the Chinese people who were interviewed prefer digital reading, mostly on mobile phones.

    Another interesting result is that an increasing number of people like to listen to audiobooks(有声读物).More than 30 percent of the people who answered the survey listen to audiobooks,higher than the year before. It may have something to do with the way people go to and from work﹣many people in the countryside drive or take public transport for long hours, which leads to the greater need for audiobooks.

    People's reading habits are changing with social changes. In my opinion, the relevant authorities (相关机构) should pay attention to it and shouldn't fall behind.

Many kids help their parents with chores, such as doing the dishes, cleaning the living room and taking out the rubbish. And some kids get money or other rewards(奖赏) such as more computer time by doing chores.

But some people do not think that kids should get rewards by doing chores. Susie Walton.an expert, believes that by rewarding kids, parents are sending a message that work isn't important unless you can get something. "Running any kind of family is a team work," Walton says. "A home is a living place for everyone in the family. It's important for kids to see that we all have responsibilities in the house."

Other people believe that getting money or other rewards makes kids do chores happily and it also teaches them real world lessons about what we need to do to make money. There are also now apps(应用软件). With the Chore﹣Monster app, kids can get points and online gifts by doing chores. Kids can change them into real life rewards either online or in the real world. "We hope kids can do more chores so they can get more rewards," one man says.
