 As we have known that ‘个gè’ the most general measure word; used for people, round objects, abstract things, such as questions / ideas, etc.

‘只zhī’ is for animal and one of certain pair things; piece or item.

We’ll learn more measure words from a song. Before our reading,  let’s familiar with the number counting as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9,10
And then upgrade to the unit of count to hundred ‘百bǎi’,  then to  thousand ‘千qiān’,  to ten thousand ‘万wàn’, and a hundred million is ‘亿yì’.

A new survey in Japan has shown that many people may be giving up on "happily ever after" when they get older than 35.

A survey by the Nippon Foundation asked 6,000 people, aged 15 to 45, about the country's falling birth rate. Among the 3,935 single participants, 46% said they want to get married, while 33% said they don't.

However, when asked if they really think they will get married, only 27% said yes, while 39% said no.

Younger people were more hopeful about marriage, with about 40% of those aged 15 to 25 thinking they will marry. But over 50% of single people aged 36 to 45 believe they won't get married, suggesting people may give up on marriage as they age.

Of the 1,313 people who said they don't want to get married, 40% said they prefer being single. Other reasons for staying single included not being able to see any benefit to marrying, and wanting to put their own life first. More than 20% didn't have a clear reason or just didn't know why.

For the 267 people who want to marry but think they won't, the top reason for thinking it won't happen is not having chances to meet potential partners, which was mentioned by 49% of these people. Others said they weren't good at getting along with people of the opposite sex, or felt financially insecure.

Where people lived also affected views on marriage. About 30% of people in central Tokyo and big cities thought they would marry, but only just over 20% of those in smaller towns and villages felt the same.

Marriages in Japan have been decreasing for years. In 2023, there were 3.9 marriages per 1,000 people in Japan — down from a high of 12 marriages per 1,000 people in 1947.

Japan's Over-35s Giving Up on Marriage

LECTURA COMPRENSIVA.

ESTE CUENTO NOS HABLA DE: El último libro. 

En una antigua biblioteca, cuyas paredes estaban cubiertas de libros polvorientos y de lomos desgastados, vivía un bibliotecario solitario. Se decía que el lugar albergaba secretos ancestrales y conocimientos prohibidos, y el bibliotecario era el único custodio de esos misterios.

Una noche, mientras ordenaba los libros, el bibliotecario encontró un tomo antiguo, cuyo lomo estaba adornado con símbolos extraños que brillaban tenuemente en la oscuridad. Intrigado, lo abrió y comenzó a leer. Las palabras eran antiguas y misteriosas, y a medida que avanzaba en la lectura, una sensación de frío se apoderó de él.

El libro hablaba de un ser oscuro que habitaba en las sombras y que se alimentaba del conocimiento humano. Si alguien leía el libro completo, liberaría al ser de su prisión y sumiría al mundo en la oscuridad eterna.

Aterrorizado, el bibliotecario intentó cerrar el libro, pero las páginas se resistían. Las palabras parecían cobrar vida y una voz susurrante le ordenó que continuara leyendo. No pudo hacer nada para detenerse.

Cuando llegó a la última página, un viento helado recorrió la biblioteca y las luces se apagaron. El bibliotecario sintió una presencia maligna a su lado y escuchó una risa macabra. Al día siguiente, la biblioteca estaba vacía y el libro había desaparecido. Los únicos rastros que quedaban eran unas extrañas marcas en las paredes y una sensación de frío que nunca desapareció.
