Among the issues raised by this year's college entrance examination, popular science reading has become a new hot spot - among the three materials for national practical text reading in Volume B selected by 12 provinces, one is selected from "Scientific Experiments Caused by Snow" by popular science writer Yin Chuanhong Popular science articles. The last time a similar situation occurred was probably the science fiction reading craze caused by the 1999 college entrance examination essay titled "If Memory Can Be Transplanted." So, how do we guide children to engage in scientific reading? The author found that many parents like to "test" their children after reading: How long does it take for sunlight to reach the earth from the surface of the sun? How many major planets are there in the solar system? If the child cannot answer the question, the parents will think that the book has been read in vain. The author does not agree with this approach.

"Make scientific reading a "compulsory course"
