Read the following passage carefully then answer the questions that follow (from questions 36 to 40):
Reading, as you know, is a continuous and never ending process. If you do very little reading, or if you read only
material that offers no challenge to your comprehension, your reading will be of very little use. Once we reach a certain age, or
once our formal schooling is completed, many of us become so restricted in our choice of reading that we rarely read any new
type of reading experience. We tend to read only books in our professional or business field, or only inspirational books, or
only our favorite newspapers every morning, or only one magazine for which we have developed a preference. And the trouble
starts here. You should neither read only for entertainment nor only for information but you should also read for intellectual
growth, for mental stimulation, for enriching your background of knowledge, for wisdom, and for broader outlook and mature
understanding. What kind of books should you read to continue your intellectual growth, to gain a background for opinion and
for judgment? The answer is simple one: Read books in fields you have little or no acquaintance with, books that will open for

you new horizons of learning, books that will help you explore new areas of knowledge and experience, books that will make
the world and people more understandable to you. Sadly, more and more people today are giving up the printed word in favor
of being entertained and informed by watching TV, a popular entertainment, device present at almost homes. More and more
children are being subjected to TV programming, perhaps as a babysitter. More than two hours of TV time per day are now a
part of children development, generating physiological and mental problems that are of growing concern among experts.
Câu 36: Reading ________.
A. completely stops when we finish our schooling B. is of little use
C. is an endless process D. should be done a little
Câu 37: According to the text, ________.
A. we should only read for entertainment
B. reading for intellectual growth is necessary
C. new type of reading experience often interests most of us.
D. we should not read for mental stimulation
Câu 38: What kind of books is recommended?
A. Books that will help you explore new areas of knowledge and experience
B. Books that will open for you new horizons of learning
C. Books in fields you have little or no acquaintance with
D. All are correct
Câu 39: We can learn from the text that today ________.
A. people spend more time watching TV than reading books
B. most babysitters prefer watching TV
C. more and more people enjoy reading
D. most children spend less than 2 hours a day watching TV
Câu 40: The writer ________.
A. advises us to read as little as possible. B. does not approve of reading process.
C. appreciates reading. D. prefers watching TV to reading.

Read the following passage carefully then answer the questions that follow (from questions 36 to 40):
Reading, as you know, is a continuous and never ending process. If you do very little reading, or if you read only
material that offers no challenge to your comprehension, your reading will be of very little use. Once we reach a certain age, or
once our formal schooling is completed, many of us become so restricted in our choice of .reading that we rarely read any new
type of reading experience. We tend to read only books in our professional or business field, or only inspirational books, or
only our favorite newspapers every morning, or only one magazine for which we have developed a preference. And the trouble
starts here. You should neither read only for entertainment nor only for information but you should also read for intellectual
growth, for mental stimulation, for enriching your background of knowledge, for wisdom, and for broader outlook and mature
understanding. What kind of books should you read to continue your intellectual growth, to gain a background for opinion and

for judgment? The answer is simple one: Read books in fields you have little or no acquaintance with, books that will open for
you new horizons of learning, books that will help you explore new areas of knowledge and experience, books that will make
the world and people more understandable to you. Sadly, more and more people today are giving up the printed word in favor
of being entertained and informed by watching TV, a popular entertainment, device present at almost homes. More and more
children are being subjected to TV programming, perhaps as a babysitter. More than two hours of TV time per day are now a
part of children development, generating physiological and mental problems that are of growing concern among experts.
