　　今年世界读书日这天网上展开了关于浅阅读的行动。甲：什么是浅阅读？乙：就是追求简单轻松，实用有趣的阅读。联合国教科文组织选择4月23日的灵感来自于一个美丽的传说。4月23日是西班牙文豪塞万提斯的忌日，也是加泰罗尼亚地区大众节日“圣乔治节”。传说中勇士乔治屠龙救公主，并获得了公主回赠的礼物——一本书，象征着知识与力量。每到这一天，加泰罗尼亚的妇女们就给丈夫或男朋友赠送一本书，男人们则会回赠一枝玫瑰花。实际上，同一天也是莎士比亚出生和去世的纪念日，又是美国作家纳博科夫、法国作家莫里斯•德鲁昂、冰岛诺贝尔文学奖得主拉克斯内斯等多位文学家的生日，所以这一天成为全球性图书日看来“名正言顺”。

　　Light Reading — "A: What is light reading? B: It is reading for the purpose of relaxation, interest, and practicality. UNESCO's selection of April 23 for world reading day arose out of a beautiful legend: April 23 is the date that famed Spanish writer Miguel Cervantes died, and it is also St. George's Day, celebrated in Catalonia. The legend goes that the knight George slew a dragon, rescued a princess, and was granted a gift in return: a book, representing knowledge and power. Every year on this day, Catalonian women will give a book to their husband or boyfriend, and the men will give a rose in return. Actually, the same day is the date of Shakespeare's birth and death, and is the birthday of authors such as William Faulkner, Maurice Druon, and Halldó Kiljan Laxness, so it is a fitting and proper choice for world reading day."

　　丹麦人钓鱼材料作文：一位丹麦人钓鱼，鱼钓上来后，他用尺量了一下尺寸，觉得鱼太小，就放了回去，准备等鱼长大了再钓。丹麦人去钓鱼会随身带一把尺子，钓到鱼，常常用尺子量一量，将不够尺寸的小鱼放回河里。他们说：“让小鱼长大不更好吗？”两千多年前，我国孟子曾说过：“数罟不入洿池，鱼鳖不可胜食也。”意思是，不要用细密的渔网在池塘里捕捞小鱼，这样才会有更多的鱼。实际上，其中的道理也贯穿在我们现实生活中的许多方面。

　　Danish fishermen — "When Danes go fishing, they carry with them a ruler. When they catch a fish, they will measure it and toss it back if it is not long enough. They say, "Isn't it better to let the little ones grow up?" More than two thousand years ago in our country, Mencius said, "If fine nets do not enter the pools, there will be more fish and turtles than can be eaten." And in fact this principle runs throughout many areas of our lives."
