D 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 kind 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 they have probably moved on to the adult women's magazines. Teenage boys tend to buy magazines about their hobbies: motorcycles, heavy transport and to 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 some 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(内容丰富有趣的) stories of space or gunmen.1. What has the recent research into children's reading show?A: Children begin to read very fast at an early age.B: Children examine in detail what they read at school.C: Children can read clearly in primary school.D: Children form their reading tastes by the time they are seven.2. If we have a close look at the reading habits of boys and girls we'll find that _____.A: girls are more interested in fiction than boysB: girls are more interested in action-packed stories than boysC: boys read much more than girlsD: boys have no interest in fiction3. It can be inferred from the passage that _____.A: boys change their reading tastes more often than girlsB: people usually do not change their reading tastes when they grow upC: boys and girls form their reading habits by reading magazinesD: people have no definite(确切的) reading tastes
