Some people think that as more and more people have televisions in their homes,fewer and fewer people will buy books and newspapers. Why read an article in the newspaper,when the TV news can bring you the information in a few minutes and with pictures? Why read the life story of a famous man,when a short television program can tell you all that you want to know?

Television has not killed reading, however. Today,newspapers sell in very large numbers. And books of every kind are sold more than ever before. Books are still a cheap way to get information and enjoyment.Although some books with hard covers are expensive,many books are printed today as paperbacks(平装本),which are quite cheap. A paperback collection of short stories,for example,is always cheaper than an evening at the cinema or the theater,and you can keep a book for ever and read it many times.

Books are a wonderful provider of knowledge and pleasure and some types of books should be in every home.Every home should have a good dictionary.A good encyclopedia(百科全书),though expensive,is useful,too,because you can find information on any subject.Besides,you can have such books as history books,science textbooks,cookbooks,and collections of stories and poems.Then from time to time you can take a book of poems off your shelves and read the thoughts and feelings of your favorite poets.

A.TV programs are a chief provider of knowledge

B.cinemas are the best choice in getting information

C.reading is a cheap way of learning and having fun

D.newspapers are an expensive way to enjoy oneself
