Chinese people read less than eight books last year, including both print and e-books, but the average(平均) time spent on mobile reading has for the first time exceeded one hour per day, showed statistics(數(shù)據(jù)) published by Chinese Academy of Press and Publication on Monday.

This is the academy’s 13th report regarding Chinese people’s reading habits in 17 years. The survey looked at the reading habits of both adults and children from 0 – 80, placing them in four different age groups, across 29 provinces in China.

The number of print books the average person read last year was 4.58, which basically remained the same level as that in 2014. The figure is rather low compared with other countries, with France being 12, South Korea being 11, Japan being 9 and the US being about seven, according to a report by Xinhua last year.

However, in contrast to the tiny increase in books being read last year, people’s interest in mobile reading has seen a rise. The average time Chinese people spent reading on their cellphones is 62.21 minutes, which nearly doubles the previous year’s average time of 33.82 minutes.

And more people are reading via their WeChat app as well. The most popular social networking phone app in China has also been providing public account services, which allow people to read comparatively long articles using the app. In 2015, 51.9% Chinese adults had used WeChat to read, a 17.5% increase on 2014.

But does that mean e-reading is replacing traditional reading in China? 

Wei Yushan, president of the Academy of Press and Publication told People’s Daily that it doesn’t seem likely to him. “Having gone through a rapid development between 2011 and 2013, e-books are seeing a slowdown in their sales. Taking the US as an example, the sales growth of e-books has fallen behind that of print books in the past year.” In China, nearly 60% of people still prefer traditional reading to e-reading.

1.What does the underlined word “exceeded” in paragraph 1 mean?

A. rejected

B. designed

C. outnumbered

D. explained

2.According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?

A. The time spent on e-reading is more than that on traditional reading.

B. Extra services have been provided to allow people to read short articles.

C. Compared with Chinese readers, the number of Americans is larger.

D. An increase in the interest of mobile reading has been seen.

3.How does the writer develop the text?

A. By giving explanations.

B. By analyzing reasons.

C. By listing figures(數(shù)據(jù)).

D. By comparing books.

4.What does the last paragraph talk about?

A. All Chinese people like print books better.

B. Print books still gain popularity of readers.

C. The Sales of E-books have been improved.

D. Wei Yushan isn’t willing to give up e-reading.
