SECTION V: READING MCQS
Read the following passage and provide the appropriate answers to each:
Did you know that some people don't do their reading assignments? It's
shocking, but it's true. Some students don't even read short texts that they are
assigned in class. There are many reasons for this. They may be distracted or
bored. They may be unwilling to focus. They may be unconfident readers.
Whatever the reason, it has to stop today. Here's why.
Reading stimulates your mind. It is like a workout for your brain. When
people get old, their muscles begin to deteriorate. They get weaker and their
strength leaves them. Exercise can prevent this loss. The same thing happens to
people's brains when they get older. Brain power and speed decline with age.
Reading strengthens your brain and prevents these declines.
You can benefit from reading in the near-term too. Reading provides
knowledge. Knowledge is power. Therefore, reading can make you a more
powerful person. You can learn to do new things by reading. Do you want to make
video games? Do you want to design clothing? Reading can teach you all this and
more. But you have to get good at reading, and the only way to get good at
something is to practice.
Read everything that you can at school, regardless of whether you find it
interesting. Reading expands your vocabulary. Even a "boring" text can teach you
new words. Having a larger vocabulary will help you better express yourself. You
will be able to speak, write, and think more intelligently. What's boring about that?
Do not just discount a text because it is unfamiliar to you. Each time you
read, you are exposed to new ideas and perspectives. Reading can change the
way that you understand the world. It can give you a broader perspective on
things. It can make you worldlier. You can learn how people live in faraway places.
You can learn about cultures different from your own.
Reading is good for your state of mind. It has a calming effect. It can lower your
stress levels and help you relax. You can escape from your troubles for a moment
when you read, and it's a positive escape. The benefits of reading far outweigh
those of acting like a doofus. So do yourself a favor: the next time you get a
reading assignment, take as much as you can from it. Squeeze it for every drop of
knowledge that it contains. Then move on to the next one.
