参考范文
    What books are you reading? Books on history, philosophy, economic theories, political situation of the world today, or whatever else? College students now read all kinds of books. The number of the books they read is large and the subject diversified.
    In general, this phenomenon is the result of the following factors. First, the publishing industry is prospering day by day. Numerous books are published every year, most of the topics appealing to both the more and the less cultured. Therefore, college sutdents have a large variety of books to choose from. Secondly, the reform of the education system has brought up a generation of young people who are inerested in all kinds of happenings around them. Students nowadays are not unanimous in their thoughts; rather, they tend to fly away from banal ideas and establish their own method of thinking. Thirdly, also most importantly, college students have realized that if they do not understand what is going on, they will soon be forgotten by the world. Today, the world develops at an amazingly high speed. Anyone who does not stalk along will lag behind. Reading is an effective way of understanding the world. In a word, what college students read is decided by the overall trend of the world today.
    No doubt, college students should be encouraged to read as many books as possible. In fact, their action is a reflection of their sense of crisis as concerns their position in the future world. But they might as well be advised to be a wise reader. A wise reader reads many books, but at the same time, focuses on a certain subject, either linked to ones's major or one's interest, so as to better understand it. What's more, a wise reader has the ability to distinguish the worthy from the unworthy,discarding the dross as well as selecting the essential.In other words, he stands higher than the author does, which will help entail a firm outlook on life and the world. In conclusion, when they read, college students are, indeed, to use their mind.
