Lots of young people like reading magazines in their free time for fun. Of so many different magazines, Reader’s Digest is famous and popular.

Reader’s Digest is a monthly magazine. Before the 1980s, it belonged to a privately held company, which was started in 1922 by Lila Bell Wallace and Dewitt Wallace. This magazine is small and easy to carry, it’s just half the size of most American magazines, which caused a phrase in 2005, “America in your pocket”. It is the best selling magazine in the USA. At present, its circulation in the USA has reached 10 million copies and the number of the readers there is 38 million. Outside the USA, another 40 million people throughout more than 70 countries also read this magazine in 21 languages.

This magazine’s focus is not news but more of cultural views because the editors think people now can get timely news from somewhere else such as TV and newspaper. They hope this magazine can give readers something that is about special personal experiences, or something the readers can share with their families. In different countries, this magazine provides a window to the world for the local readers. Some parts of the magazine are about the local customs and interests of the local readers. The other parts give the local readers information from all over the world.

This magazine actually used to be a public business until the Wallaces died in the 1980s. Because they had no children, there was no one to take over the company. Sixteen years ago, this company went public and became a public company.

Do you go to the movies during the holidays? What do you eat there? Popcorn (爆米花)? Yes, of course! More and more Chinese youth now like to eat popcorn when they watch movies at the theater.
However, it may be the Americans who love popcorn the most. Americans do fun things with their popcorn. They like to put butter on their popcorn. But that's not all; they also like other kinds of things like chocolate, and even cheese! Americans like to eat popcorn as a snack (小吃). These days, there are a lot of "low -fat" kinds of popcorn in US shops to keep people healthy.
Americans started eating popcorn in movie theaters in the 1930s. Before this, they couldn't because movies were silent (無(wú)聲的) and popcorn made too much noise. When movies got noisier, people could eat noisier food.
Next time you eat popcorn, why not try to eat it American style.
