   A popular activity that proposed by the famous actress Emma Waston had responsed by a lot of people. Emma Waston left the books in London subway and the people who picked up them were lucky guys. The purpose of this activity is to advocate people to read. So there are some people curious about the situation in China and the journalists have done the similar experiment. They left some books in Guangzhou subway, but the result frustrated1 the journalists, because barely2 had persons to pick up the books, some were taken away by the cleaners as the rubbish, some were left where they were. The result shows that less people keep reading, they are busy working and have no idea of the value of a book. Everybody has their own stuff, but if we make out some time to read everyday, then we will be different.

  由著名女演员艾玛沃森发起的一项受欢迎的活动得到了很多人的回应。艾玛沃森在伦敦地铁站留下了很多书本,捡到的人是幸运的人。这个活动的目的是倡导人们看书。所以有些人好奇在中国的情况,记者做了类似的实验。他们在广州地铁留下一些书,但结果让记者沮丧,因为几乎没有人拿起书,一些被清洁工当作垃圾拿走,一些留在原地。结果表明,很少人保持阅读,他们忙于工作,不了解一本书的价值。每个人都有自己的事情,但如果我们每天出抽出一些时间来读书,就会有所不同。
