III. Read the following passage and choose the best answer from A, B, C or 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 kinds 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 womens 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 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 stories of space or gunmen.

A. start to read at a very early age.
