Once you learn to read, you will be forever free. That's probably why so many people are so into reading. In recent years, people have started a new trend of reading books in China.
According to one report on Chinese people's reading habits last year, around 32.7 per cent of Chinese adults have the habit of listening to audio books (有声书). So, just like having parents read bedtime stories to us when we were little, we are now reading by listening.
Some think this is good—people can finally put the books down when they read. They can finally get away from tables and chairs and read in a fun way. It's great, it's appealing, and it's very cool.
"I think it's entertaining—my kid can now learn in a fun way," a young parent said. "I don't have to worry about him having back problems like I did when I was a kid. And listening to audio books also takes some pressure off his eyes. So I'm all for it."
But there are quite a number of people who hold a different opinion. They say this could work with adults, but it might be a bad idea for teenagers.
"People need self-control when listening to audio books, and we don't see it in teenagers," they said. "How can we know that whatever it says in a book can get into their heads and stay there? How do we make sure they are learning something when they listen?"
"We have been reading books in the old-fashioned way for thousands of years," a scholar (学者) said. "Why not start listening for a change?"

一旦你学会阅读，你将永远获得自由。这可能就是为什么这么多人如此热衷于阅读的原因。近年来，在中国，人们开启了一种新的读书潮流。
根据去年一份关于中国人阅读习惯的报告，约32.7%的中国成年人有听有声书的习惯。所以，就像我们小时候父母给我们读睡前故事一样，我们现在通过听来“阅读”。
一些人认为这很不错——人们在阅读时终于可以放下书本了。他们终于可以摆脱桌椅，以一种有趣的方式阅读。这很棒，很有吸引力，而且非常酷。
“我觉得这很有趣——我的孩子现在可以以一种有趣的方式学习，”一位年轻的家长说，“我不用担心他会像我小时候那样有背部问题。而且听有声书也减轻了他眼睛的压力。所以我完全支持。”
但也有相当多的人持有不同的观点。他们说这对成年人可能有效，但对青少年来说可能不是个好主意。
“人们听有声书时需要自制力，而我们在青少年身上看不到这一点，”他们说，“我们怎么知道书中的内容能进入他们的脑海并留存下来呢？我们怎么确保他们在听的时候学到了东西呢？”
“几千年来我们一直以传统的方式读书，”一位学者说，“为什么不尝试听听（有声书）来改变一下呢？”
5. 根据这位年轻家长的说法，以下哪项可能是正确的？
A. 听有声书有助于保护孩子的眼睛。
B. 家长不必担心孩子的自制力。
C. 如果你听有声书，你将永远摆脱健康问题。
D. 有声书能确保书中的所有内容都能进入孩子的脑海并留存下来。

A. ①②③/④⑤⑥/⑦
B. ①②③/④⑤/⑥⑦
C. ①/②③/④⑤⑥/⑦
D. ①②/③④/⑤⑥/⑦
7. 这位学者对阅读方式最有可能的看法是什么？
A. 青少年听有声书时可能没有自制力。
B. 也许现在是时候通过尝试听有声书来改变我们的阅读方式了。
C. 家长需要确保青少年在听的时候学到了东西。
D. 传统的读书方式已被证明是最好的。
8. 这篇文章的最佳标题是什么？
