Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to
indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 25 to 28.
A good deal of fascinating research has been done about the reading patterns of young
people, and it is surprising to discover at what early age children start expressing
preferences for particular kinds of books. A recent report, which examined in detail the
reading habits of primary-school children, showed that even seven-year-old boys and
girls have clear views about what they want to read. Girls, in general, read more, and far
more girls than boys preferred reading stories. Boys were showing a taste for the more
instant appeal of picture stories, or else books about their hobbies.
These tastes continue unchanged until the children are teenagers. Apparently girls read

more in general, but more fiction in particular. You could say that there are more
opportunities for girls to read fiction: magazines encourage the fiction habit in girls in
their early teens, and by their late teens, girls have probably moved on to the adult
women’s magazines. Teenage boys tend to buy magazines about their hobbies: sports,
motorcycles, heavy transport and so on.

3

A. having a lot of action
B. having a lot of information

D. having great chances
Question 28: Which of the following is NOT true?
