Recently, the song has enjoyed a second wave of popularity after a man sang it with his own funny accent and shared it online. The man Liu Tao, a middle-aged farmer from Yangshuo, Guilin, loves English. In the 1980s, many tourists from all over the world came to visit Yangshuo. When meeting Liu on the streets, they would say hello to him. From then on, Liu was eager to learn English. He dreamed of being an English tour guide to introduce his hometown to more people. When Liu later had a chance to go to a school of tourism, his family was too poor to pay for his schooling. So he returned home to do farm work. However, Liu never stopped learning English.

Thats 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 peoples reading habits last year, around 32.7 percent 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 goodpeople can finally put the books down when they read. They can finally get away from tables and chairs and read in a fun way. Its great, its appealing, and its very cool. “I think its entertainingmy kid can now learn in a fun way,” a young parent said. “I dont 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 (压力) off his eyes. So Im 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 dont 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,” an elderly scholar said. “Why not start listening for a change?”32. According to the young parent, which of the following statements can be TRUE?A. Listening to audio books helps protect childrens eyes.B.

Maybe now it is the time to change our ways of reading by trying audio books.C. Parents need to make sure that teenagers are learning something whey they listen.D. The old way of reading books has been proved to be the best since thousands of years ago.35.
