I can remember when my daughter Maggie，who is now six，used to crawl into my lap and say，“Daddy，read me a story.” Last year she announced，“Daddy，I’m going to read you a story.”

Maggie was a television child.When she first became conscious of anything beyond eating and sleeping，the TV set was right there，and it soon commanded her attention.

A few years ago，we were worried not only that we’d never get the children away from the set long enough to learn to read，but that we’d forget how to read ourselves.But in 1955 there was not only more reading than before TV，but more reading than ever before in history.

Clearly，reading has survived television as it has survived a lot of other things.When I was six，a wail went up about menaces(威胁) to reading at home：motorcars and cinema.When Maggie came along，there was television.The motorcar，the radio，the cinema and television do take up a lot of time.

Well，we’ve got more time.When my mother was a girl，people worked about 60 hours a week.Now it’s 44.When Maggie grows up，it’ll be 30.And there’ll be numerous gadgets to do her housework.She’ll have to read.You can’t watch TV all day.

At present Maggie is reading about Johnny Woodchuck.Ahead of her—and I’m a little envious—are her first brush with Black Beauty，Alice stepping through the looking glass，Huck and Jim drifting down the Mississippi，the emotional storms of Shakespeare，the spiritual agonies of Tolstoy.For reading isn’t all joy.Like life itself，it’s mixed with many moods，from ecstasy(狂喜) to despair. Maggie will learn to take the rough with the smooth，gathering from the ancient wisdom of long-dead genius a little fire to enrich her spirit.

And some day，if she’s lucky，she’ll get the biggest thrill of all，when a little girl climbs into her lap and announces，“Mummy，I’m going to read you a story.”

A cozy environment fostering focused thinking and concentration on books is what study lounges are all about.Ideal for students with limited options as after-school study spaces.And relatively cheap.

The demand for study lounges rose in China because students can hardly find a peaceful place to study after finishing classes.Before 2018，there were few study lounges in China，and the few that existed were mainly in first- and second-tier cities such as Guangzhou，Suzhou and Tianjin.Yet by 2019，they had become popular nationwide.

But the pandemic(流行病) has dealt a blow to the industry.Since personal contact in a closed environment was unavoidable，the pandemic forced all study lounges to shut down for several months.Lou Qingxiao，founder of Xinliuzaowu，one of Beijing’s earliest study lounge brands that opened in 2018，said their first study lounge near Renmin University of China had made ends meet before the pandemic.Li Hang and Zhang Yang，co-founders of Sishiloushi，a Beijing-based independent study lounge，said that even before COVID-19 broke out，the industry’s profit was neither promising nor clear，let alone in such a particular period.

“Rent is a major fixed cost for study lounges，especially in first-tier cities，” Lou said.In a first-tier city such as Beijing，rentals comprise more than a half of a study lounge’s monthly operation cost.But Lou sounds optimistic about the industry commercial prospects，“because it’s a blue ocean with less competition.”

Study lounges provide a better learning experience that people cannot get in free public libraries.“Privately operated study lounges like ours actually make up for the shortage of public infrastructure(基础设施) and public services and we are willing to cooperate with the government to better serve the public，” Li said.

语篇解读　这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了自习室给大家提供了更好的学习体验，但新冠疫情对中国的自习室行业造成了极大的影响。

8．What contributes to the rise of study lounges in China?

A．The rapid development of cities.

B．The shrinking number of libraries.

C．The need for a peaceful study environment.

D．The lack of alternative after-school activities.

答案　C

解析　细节理解题。由第二段第一句可知，在中国，对自习室的需求增加了，因为学生在上完课后几乎找不到一个安静的学习场所。所以自习室的快速发展是因为大家对安静场所的需求。故选C。

9．What is the third paragraph mainly about?

A．The earliest study lounge brands in China.

B．A guideline on finding famous study lounges.

C．An introduction to the founders of study lounges.
