A good deal of fascinating research has been done about the reading patterns of young people,and it is surprising to discover at what an early age children start expressing preferences for particular kinds of books. A recent report shows 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 prefer reading stories. Boys are showing a taste for stories with more pictures, or books about their hobbies.These tastes continue unchanged until the children are teenagers. Clearly 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 they have probably moved on to the adult women's magazines. Teenage boys tend to buy magazines about their hobbies: motorcycles, heavy transport and so on.Adult reading tastes are also the subject of research. Again the number of women who read for pleasure is considerably higher than the number of men. It seems that the majority of women still want love stories. There has also been analysis of what men actually read. Apparently, only 38 percent of men read anything, but 50 percent of what they read is fiction in the form of action-packed stories of space or gunmen.(1) (单选题)Recent research on children's reading has shown that they______.A.start to read at a very early ageB.can read clearly in primary schoolC.examine in detail what they read at schoolD.had formed their reading tastes by the time they were seven(2) (单选题)A close look at the reading habits of boys and girls has shown that_____.A.schools give more encouragement to girls than boysB.magazines appeal more to boys than to girlsC.picture stories appeal more to girls than to boysD.girls are more interested in fiction than boys(3) (单选题)Research on adult reading habits has shown that_____.A.the majority of men do not read muchB.women do not read about their hobbiesC.38 percent of men have difficulty in readingD.men prefer to read about love stories(4) (单选题)The purpose of this passage is to______.A.persuade children to start reading at an early ageB.show the different reading methods of peopleC.show the different reading patterns of peopleD.prove boys read differently from girls(5) (单选题)This piece of writing is most likely to appear in______.A.a textbook for childrenB.a history book for adultsC.a language learning bookD.a psychology book about reading
