Reading books increases our knowledge and understanding of the world around us. To encourage people to find the fun of reading and pay tribute (表达敬意) to famous writers, the United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO 联合国教科文组织) fixed April 23rd as World Book and Copyright (版权) Day in 1926 in Spain.

The idea of specially choosing a day to celebrate books came from Spanish writer Vicente Clavel Andres. In 1922 he suggested the idea as a way to remember Spanish writer Miguel de Cervantes. Four years later the first celebration took place on October 7th, because it is said to be Cervantes' birthday. But the celebration was then moved to April 23rd, the date of his death in 1930.

In 1995, the UNESCO decided to pay tribute to writers and books around the world as a way of encouraging everyone to read books. Choosing April 23rd seemed proper. Because it's not only the date of Cervantes' death, but also the date of the famous writer William Shakespeare's death. Besides, several famous writers were born on April 23rd, making the date special in the literature (文学) world.

Starting in 2001, every year, one city around the world would be the World Book Capital for a year. The chosen city always holds activities to encourage people of all ages at home and abroad to read and spread its values. Activities include reading books and plays, handing out bookmarks and announcing (公布) the winners of literary (文学) competitions.

The 76-year-old farmer lived on a farm in the mountains with his young grandson. Every morning Grandpa was up early sitting at the kitchen table reading Treasure Island. One day the grandson 1 ,"Grandpa! I try to read the book just like you but I don't understand it,and I forget what I understand as soon as I close the book. What 2 does reading books do to us?" 

The grandfather quietly 3 from putting coal in the stove and replied,"Take the coal basket down to the river and bring me back a basket of water. " 

The boy did 4 he was told,but all the water leaked out before he got back to the house. The grandfather laughed and said,"You'll have to move a little faster next time," and 5 him back to the river with the basket to try again. This time the boy ran faster,but again the basket was6 before he returned home. Out of 7 ,he told his grandfather that it was impossible to 8 water in a basket,and he went to get a bucket instead. 

The old man said,"What I want is not a bucket of water but a basket of water. You're just not trying 9 enough," and he went out of the door to watch the boy try again. At this point,the boy knew it was 10 ,but he wanted to show his grandfather that even if he ran as fast as he11 ,the water would leak out before he got back to the house. The boy again dipped the basket into the river and ran hard,but when he reached his grandfather,the basket was again empty. 12 tired out. He said,"See,Grandpa,it's useless!" 

"So you think it is useless?" the old man said,"Look at the basket. " 

The boy looked at the basket and for the first time 13 that the basket was different. It had been 14 from a dirty old coal basket into a clean one,inside and out. 

"You see,that's what happens when you read the book. You might not understand or 15 everything through reading,but when you read it,you will be changed,inside and out. "

Stephen Hawking, a disabled man with a strong will, who died on March 14, 2018, was born in Oxford, UK, in 1942. He was a world famous scientist and expert on space and time. Stephen was trying to find the answers to some very big questions, such as: How did the universe begin? How will it end? 

When he was a student at university, Stephen studied math and science. Then, at the age of twenty, he became very ill. He was so young, but the doctors said to his family, "He has only two more years to live. " 

The doctors were wrong. He didn't die. He couldn't walk, but he used a wheelchair. He talked with the help of a computer. After Oxford, Stephen went to Cambridge University. Three years later, in 1965, he became a doctor of philosophy (哲学). 

Because of his health problems, it was difficult for him to draw diagrams or to write. So he started to think in pictures. With this new way of thinking, he became one of the most famous scientists in the world. Then in 1988, he wrote his first important book, A Brief History of Time. It sold about 25 million copies in about 40 different languages. 

Stephen Hawking made great achievements in cosmology with his studies searching the answers to the Big Bang and Black Hole in the universe, which brought him great fame as a leading figure in the science world even though he became totally unable to move in two thirds of his whole life.
