As the next reading session is scheduled to belaunched in two days, it’s a great honor for me to take the opportunity topresent you a book worth reading—TheWealth of Nations by Adam Smith.
Through reflection over economics at thebeginning of Industrial Revolution, the writer has elaborated on thefundamental principles of capitalism at work with insightful conceptions andeloquent speeches. Besides, the book has stood the test of time by repeatedquotations and critical reviews from following researchers, exerting profoundinfluences on anyone engaged in the field of capitalist market.
I believe reading such a classical book froman authoritative writer will produce a life-enriching and thought-provokingeffect for all club members.
Yours sincerely,

Part B
As isdepicted above, a number of young people are having a gathering of friends, butinstead of talking with each other, each of them is addicted to his or her mobilephone. The lower part of the picture, we can see some Chinese characters whichread “the meeting in mobile-phone era”.
Undoubtedly,the author of the picture aims at reminding us of the double edge of the cellphone. It is well known that thanks to the developmentof human civilization, many formerly unimaginable things come into reality. Acase in point is the mobile phones. We must admit that the smart phone indeeddramatically changes our life. However, if used improperly, the mobile phonesalso can bring unhealthy side-effects, and imperil face to face communicationbetween people. It is not too much to say that being over-addicted to mobile phoneswill cost our health, wisdom, creativity, friendship and even our ability tolive.
Weighing thepros and cons of both sides, perhaps the best policy is to regulate it in sucha way as to maximize its advantages. At the same time, we must avoid itsharmful part. Furthermore, young people should be advised that spending toomuch time in using smart phones is bad for them.
