閱讀理解。

April 23 is known as World Book Day. The idea of setting a day to encourage reading came out from UNESCO (聯(lián)合國教科文組織) in 1995. In fact， it started long before that in Spain. In 1922， Spanish writer Vicente Clavel Andrés suggested the idea as a way to honor (尊敬) their famous writer Miguel de Cervantes. Four years later， the first celebration took place on October 7， Cervantes’ birthday. In 1930， it was moved to April 23， the date of his death.

Every year since 2001， one city around the world is chosen to be the UNESCO World Book Capital for a year. The task of the city is to carry out activities to encourage “a culture of reading and spreading its values (價值) in all ages in and out of the country.”

Though no Chinese cities have been chosen as the World Book Capital so far， a recent national survey shows the rise in reading as a habit in China. Besides， listening to audiobooks (有聲讀物) was another rising habit， with 35.5 percent of adults saying they were used to listening to them.

Reading books gives people the chance to look into different worlds and meet new people both real and imagined. Ancient Chinese believed in the saying: Read ten thousand books and travel ten thousand miles. Reading is a way to learn from the past， understand the world， and get life wisdom. So make every day World Book Day!

( )1. When did Spain first hold a celebration to honor Cervantes?

A. In 1922. B. In 1926. C. In 1930. D. In 1995.

( )2. What should a World Book Capital city do?

A. Help sell books. B. Carry on UNESCO’s values.

C. Organize readers to visit the city. D. Carry out reading activities.

( )3. What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 3 refer to?

A. Printed books. B. E-books. C. Audiobooks. D. Cultural books.

( )4. What does the last paragraph mainly tell us?

A. The meaning of a Chinese saying. B. The importance of reading books.

C. The present situation of book reading. D. The way of looking into different worlds.
