It is often said that books are always good friends and reading is an active mental
process. Unlike TV, books make you use your brain. By reading, you think more and
become smarter. Reading improves concentration and focus. Reading books takes brain

power. It requires you to focus on what you are reading for long periods. Unlike
magazines, internet posts or e-Mails that might contain small pieces of information.
Books tell the whole story. Since you must concentrate in order to read, you will get
better at concentration. Many studies show if you do not use your memory; you lose it.
Reading helps you stretch your memory muscles. Reading requires remembering details,
facts and figures and in literature, plot lines, themes and characters.
Reading is a good way to improve your vocabulary. Do you remember that when
you were at elementary school you learned how to infer the meaning of one word by
reading the context of the other words in the sentence? While reading books,
especially challenging ones, you will find yourself exposed to many new words.
Reading is a fundamental skill builder. Every good course has a matching book
to go with it. Why? Because books help clarify difficult subjects. Books provide
information that goes deeper than just classroom discussions. By reading more books
you become better informed and more of an expert on the topics you read about. This
expertise translates into higher self-esteem. Since you are so well-read, people look to
you for answers. Your feelings about yourself can only get better.
Books give you knowledge of other cultures and places. The more information
you have got, the richer your knowledge is. Books can expand your horizons by
letting you see what other cities and countries have to offer before you visit them.
1. Books have great influence on …………...
A. TV
B. friendship
C. brain
D. muscles
2. When you are reading a book, …………….
A. you have to read small pieces of information
B. you use your brain in concentration and focus

III. Read the passage then answer the questions. (1 pt)
Uri Geller was born in 1946. When he was only three, he was aware that he had
an amazing ability. In 1969 he gave his first performance in a school. He gently
rubbed a spoon with his fingers, and it began to bend. Three years later he drove a car
blindfolded through the crowded streets of Munich. Later Uri Geller appeared on
television in Britain in front of a small studio audience of scientists. He bent spoons
and broke metal objects simply by touching them gently with his fingers. He also


drew pictures of hidden objects. After the programme, however, there were hundreds
of telephone calls. People reported that spoons in their homes bent during the
programme. Metal objects broke, and watches which had stopped many years before
suddenly started to go again.
Questions
1. In what year did Uri Geller find himself with an amazing ability?
…………………………………………………………………………………
2. What happened after he appeared on television in Britain?
…………………………………………………………………………………
