Some people think that as more and more people have televisions in their homes, fewer and fewer people will buy books and newspapers. Why read an article in the newspaper when the TV news can bring you the information in a few minutes and with pictures? Why read a novel when a play on television can tell you the same story with color, pictures and action? Why read the biographies of famous men and women when a one-hour-long television program can tell you all that you want to know?      Television has not killed reading, however. Today, newspapers and magazines sell in very large numbers. And books of every kind are sold more than ever before. Books are still a cheap way to get information and entertainment. Although some books with hard covers are expensive, many books are published today as paperbacks, which are reasonably cheap. A paperback novel, for example, is always cheaper than an evening at the movies or the theater, and you can keep a book forever and read it many times.      Books in the home are a wonderful source of knowledge and pleasure and some types of books should be in every home. Every home should have a good dictionary. Every home should have an atlas (地图集) of the world, with large clear maps. It might be expensive, but a good encyclopedia is useful, too, because you can find information on any subject. In addition, it is useful to have on your bookshelves other non-fiction books such as history books, science textbooks, cook books, books about medicine and health, etc. it is equally important to have some fiction (小说) on your shelves, too. Then you can relax with a good story, or from time to time you can take a book of poems off your shelves and read thoughts and feelings of your favorite poets.
