快节奏的现代生活改变了人们的阅读习惯。有人喜欢快餐文化，如电影、电视以及其他现代传媒信息，因为它们容量大、速度快；有人喜欢古典作品，因为它们细节丰富、语言优美，可以成为写作的典范。请你写一篇120-150词左右的英语短文，介绍以上两种阅读习惯，然后阐述你的看法和理由。
范文背诵
The high pace of modern life has changed people’s reading habits. Some people like to choose fast-food culture materials such as movies, TV programmes and other modern media to see or read because these materials provide large amount of information, spread quickly and save people a lot of time, which means money in modern society.
Others prefer to read classics because classical works contain more detailed information and the language in the book is possibly more lively and beautiful. Further more, classical works can be taken as good examples in writing.
Personally, it is hard to say which is better than the other. But I suggest we choose different materials in different time. When we don’t have enough time for reading or need to collect certain information, we can choose modern media materials, which can save us a lot of time. When we want to enrich ourselves in mind, we can turn to classical works, which are rich in content about traditional culture and virtues. 句型背诵
