• 2．Carol Lee Lindner climbed into the 40-foot boat tied to the Fairmount Boathouse dock，and gave the new members their first lesson in the ancient sport of dragon boating．
     The 25 women，aged 29 to 65，watched their coach carefully．All had breast cancer and survived．Their decision to join the Philadelphia Women's Dragon Boat Team was brave and crazy．
     Over the months of training，one would be told that cancer had spread to her bones and another would be hospitalized for radiation treatment side effects．But these strong and determined women-each and every one of them-took part in the International Dragon Boat Racing Championship．
     In theory，it's a terrible sport for women whose muscles and nerves have been damaged．Doctors generally advised them to avoid hard and repetitive arm exercise．But seven years ago，Canadian Donald Mckenzie，a sports medicine physician，showed dragon boating is good for survivors． "It builds both their physical and mental strength．" Mckenzie said．
     Coach Lindner 60，was inspired by that and included the 25 women in her three-year-old Philadelphia Women's Dragon Boat Team．
     The survivors tried hard and did their best．No self-pity．
     Renata Whitaker，her hair growing back，began feeling more confident．But she grew tired and easily got out of breath．She had to be in hospital for a week．As she got better she called Lindner，saying she had got well enough to be in the game．Lindner told her if she felt up to it，she would be with the team．
     "But you are not going to paddle，" Lindner said， "Remember what I said．To be strong，fit women for life．I want you by my side for the rest of our lives，not just for one race．"
     These women tested their limits．A 500-meter race lasted about three minutes．
     As the city darkened in the heat，the team finally paddled toward the Fairmount Boathouse．
     Soon，the river was filled with the sounds of painful but happy women singing Merrily We Roll Along．
  
  （1）What do the twenty-five women have in common？

  
  A．They are crazy about dragon boating．
  B．They are cancer survivors．
  C．They were inspired by Donald Mckenzie and have trained together for three years．
  D．They have broken the record of the International Dragon Boat Racing Championships．
  （2）Why did Lindner refuse Whitaker's request？

  
  A．Because Whitaker wasn't really good at paddling．
  B．Because Whitaker easily got tired and out of breath．
  C．Because Whitaker hadn't recovered completely．
  D．Because a new paddler would be in Whitaker's place．
  （3）Which of the following will Mckenzie support？

  
  A．Dragon boating will help repair patients' damaged nerves．
  B．Patients should feel sorry for themselves if they don't take part in dragon boat races．

• 3．In advance of World Book Day on April 23，the Chinese Academy of Press and Publication released its 17th annual report on the study of Chinese people's reading habits on Monday．
     Based on a survey that ranged from August 2019 to February 2020，the report showed 81.1 percent of adult Chinese surveyed have a habit of reading，whether in print or on digital devices，a slight increase of 0.3 percent from 2018．Wei Yushan，director of the academy，said the survey covered 55 cities and towns in the country and it can credibly represent the situation of the whole population．
     In 2019，adult Chinese read on average 4.6.5 books in print and 2.84 digital books，while in 2018 it was 4.67 and 3.32，a small drop for both．
     While the report said most Chinese feel they're not satisfied with the amount of books they read in a year．11.1 percent read more than 10 books in print，and 7.6 percent more than 10 e-books．As for children and young people under 17， "the results are more encouraging，" according to Wei．The survey revealed they read 10.36 books a year on average，1.45 more than in 2018．
     Audio（有聲的） books are attracting more Chinese，as 30.3 percent of adults and 34.7 percent of minors had a habit of listening to audio books in 2019，increasing by 4.3 and 8.5 percent compared to 2018．The report found mobile phones were the top choice of medium when Chinese people read．On average，adults spent 100.41 minutes a day on mobile phones，15.54 minutes more than in 2018．
     A closer look at the report shows people's priority when using the Internet was to socialize （60.2 percent），followed by getting news （59 percent） and enjoying video clips （56.9 percent）．Only 20.5 percent of them used it to connect to books，newspapers or journals．
     Still，there's good news in the data from younger readers．Wei said 94.3 percent of Chinese families with children under 8 had a habit of reading，and parents spent almost 25 minutes every day reading with their kids，2.37 minutes more than 2018．
