Part III题目: Is the way people read books different from the past?
Yes, definitely. A lot of things have changed with time, and the ways people read books now are more or less different from the past. The most obvious difference is that e-books are gaining more popularity. We can find more people chose to read on their smart phones and Kindles. Having a 500-page book stored in our smart phones is easier than to carry it around and certainly more convenient to read it anywhere and anytime.
Another difference is that people spend less time reading nowadays. We are now busier with our work and study than before. But I think it’s important for us to find the time to read and to slow down our pace of living, to stop and smell the flowers, if you will.

▲more or less 多多少少
▲obvious adj. 明显的
▲gain popularity 受欢迎
▲store v. 储存
▲carry around 携带
▲pace n. 步伐，节奏
▲to stop and smell the flowers, if you will. 如果您愿意的话，停下来，闻闻花香。
