If our society ever needed a reading renaissance(复兴), it’s now. The National Endowment for the Arts released "Reading at Risk" last year, a study showing that adult reading【S1】______have dropped 10 percentage points in the past decade, with the steepest drop among those 18 to 24. "Only one half of young people read a book of any kind in 2002. We set the bar almost on the ground. If you read one short story in a teen-ager magazine, that would have【S2】______," laments a director of research and analysis. He【S3】______the loss of readers to the booming world of technology, which attracts would-be leisure readers to E-mail, IM chats, and video games and leaves them with no time to cope with a novel.

Video games【S4】______problem-solving skills; TV shows promote mental gymnastics by【S5】______viewers to follow complex story lines. But books offer experience that can’t be gained from these other sources, from【S6】______vocabulary to stretching the imagination. "If they’re not reading at all," says Johnson, "that’s a huge problem."
In fact, fewer kids are reading for pleasure. According to data【S7】______last week from the National Center for Educational Statistic’s long-term trend assessment, the number of 17-year-olds who reported never or hardly ever reading for fun【S8】______from 9 percent in 1984 to 19 percent in 2004. At the same time, the【S9】______of 17 year-olds who read daily dropped from 31 to 22.
This slow but steady retreat from books has not yet taken a toll on reading ability. Scores for the nation’s youth have【S10】______constant over the past two decades(with an encouraging upswing among 9-year-olds). But given the strong apparent correlation between pleasure reading and reading skills, this means poorly for the future.
