It is reported that Chinese lawmakers are considering regulations to promote reading among the public. The news has caused concern over what exactly a new policy regarding reading might entail, but some do believe that the measure could help promote the average literacy rate across China. The following are excerpts of opinions.
Write an article of NO LESS THAN 300 words, in which you should:
1. summarize briefly the opinions;
2. give your comment.
Ye Zhurong from Beijing
While entertainment and leisure magazines are extremely popular, traditional publications are no longer well received. People read books more flippantly. With the increase of soap operas and other TV shows, fewer and fewer people are attached to reading. Although electronic media help spread information, it still defers the traditional practice of reading. Raising the overall literacy rate is no easy target. With reading not stressed at all, efforts to stimulate public interest will have to be plentiful. For example, schools should create encouraging atmospheres for reading and allow students to fall in love with books to eventually affect all of society. Furthermore, it’s important to set up more libraries. At some existing facilities, most books are old, procedures outdated and borrowing fees absolute. To boost national literacy, implementation is the key. We need to put into practice all kinds of effective measures to promote reading.
Jia Zhiyong from Chongqi
While a reading law places emphasis on national literacy levels, it also reflects the worrying fact that reading has yet to be encouraged among the Chinese public, which likes to boast about its 5,000-year-old history and rich culture. People read for certain purposes, including making money or conducting research. It is also a leisurely pastime to be enjoyed in one’s spare time. No matter what type you are engaged in, reading is helpful for both personal and social progress. A lack of reading could well damage the advancement of an innovative culture or civilization.
In whatever form, reading is meant to make people feel good, improve personal qualities, tap into potential capabilities and promote innovation. How to develop and promote such a culture remains the key question.
Qiu Shi from Shanghai
To determine the necessity of a law we need to first ascertain what it entails. Officials claim the regulation would protect people’s right to read, while it remains unclear as to what would happen to those who do not enjoy books. Relevant authorities should provide sufficient investment in libraries and balance the distribution of reading materials across different areas, while ensuring people get enough time to read within a conducive environment. With a serious shortage of public facilities geared toward reading, laws are required to redress the matter.
Mao Jianguo from Qingdao
A nation’s literacy rate to a large extent affects its future development potential. When it comes to reading, we have to look at two problems. First, the public must be provided with quality books, not trash ones on the market. Because pay is low, many writers can only survive by churning out as much of the latter as possible. Is it possible to better support authors in writing books with more literary value?
Second, it’s important to make reading more convenient, which requires the construction of more libraries. In some cities, such facilities lack books or are remotely situated. If people could have better access to quality reading material, surely public interest in books would increase.
Therefore, at present, what we need is not a law, but more investment in facilities to boost enthusiasm for reading.

答案
A Reading Law or a Reading Population? Lured by TV series, movies and various reality shows, people nowadays spend far less time in reading than in old days. Being aware of this situation, Chinese lawmakers are thinking whether to promulgate a law that promotes reading. Most people believe that this will greatly improve the readership in the country but some also expressed their concerns. Some people concern what will happen to those who do not enjoy books. Some reasonably analyse the situation and propose to provide better books and reading facilities to create the atmosphere for reading. I believe a law to promote reading is well-intended but the necessity of enshrining the goal by a law should be discussed. Firstly, a law should be the minimum code of conduct for each and every one of the public instead of raising higher requirements, which fall into the domain of social ethics, convention and culture. The proposed law, however, tries to legislate the conduct of reading which should be totally based on free will and personal habits and therefore violates the basic spirit of laws: the minimum code of conduct instead of moral motivation. Secondly, I believe better books, better facilities will be more effective to develop readership. Despite the attraction of modern entertainment, we have witnessed the popularity of quality books such as The Three-Body Problem and works of Mo Yan, a winner of Nobel Prize. Community libraries, instead of one big fancy library should be established so that the public will have easier access to book and therefore more likely to read. In conclusion, whatever the solution, we should open up more reading avenues for those who are keen on books. I believe the law is well-intended but there are other far more effective ways to promote a reading population in the country.
解析
材料围绕“是否有必要用法律来规定阅读”给出不同人的看法。
大部分人表示赞成,并提出具体的办法来提高人们的阅读量。首先,创造鼓励阅读的氛围(create encouraging atmospheres for reading),形成崇尚阅读的文化是关键(the key question).
其次,给公众提供优质图书(quality books),完善相关的公众设施(public facilities),包括建立更多的图书馆(set up more libraries)。最后,强调政策的实施,让所有措施落到实处才是关键(implementation is key)。
同时,也有人质疑这一法律,立法初衷是保障人们的阅读权利(protect people’s right to read),但并不适用于那些不喜欢阅读的人(those who do not enjoy books)。
开篇:介绍当前国民的阅读情况,引出规定阅读的法律,总结材料对此的看法。
主体:提出自己的观点——为阅读立法的初衷值得肯定,但并不合理;从两方面说明理由,一是法律的本质是规范基本行为规范而不是发展需求,二是其他方式如发行优质图书和完善设施更有助于鼓励阅读。
结尾:总结全文,呼吁采取其他方法鼓励阅读。
