* Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer. (1,25ms)
Many people believe that watching television has resulted in lower reading
standards in schools. However, the link between television and printed books is not as
simple as that. In many cases, television actually encourages people to read ; for
example, when a book is turned into a TV series, its sales often go up.
One study of this link examined six-year-old children who were viewing a special
series of 15-minute programs at school. The series was designed to encourage love of
books, as well as to develop the basic mechanical skills of reading. Each program is an
animated film of a children's book. The story is read aloud and certain key phrases
from the book appear on the screen, beneath the picture. Whenever a word is read, it
is also highlighted on the TV screen.
One finding was that watching these programs was very important to the children. If
anything prevented them from seeing a program, they were very disappointed. What's
more, they wanted to read the books which the different parts of the series were based
on.
The programs also gave the children more confidence when looking at these books.
As a result of their familiarity with the stories, they would sit in pairs and read the
stories aloud to each other. On each occasion, the children showed great sympathy
when discussing a character in a book because they themselves had been moved when
watching the character on television.
36. What is the main idea of the book?
A. The simple link between television and books.
B. The ways of children reading books and watching TV
C. The advantage of books over television.
D. The influence of television on reading books.
37. When does television encourage people to read?
