A

Teens and younger children are reading a lot less for fun， according to a Common Sense Media report published Monday.

While the decline over the past decade is steep for teen readers， some data in the report shows that reading remains a big part of many childrens lives， and indicates how parents might help encourage more reading.

According to the reports key findings， “the proportion （比例） who say they ‘hardly ever read for fun has gone from 8 percent of 13-year-olds and 9 percent of 17-year-olds in 1984 to 22 percent and 27 percent respectively today.”

The report data shows that pleasure reading levels for younger children， ages 2—8， remain largely the same. But the amount of time spent in reading each session has declined， from closer to an hour or more to closer to a half hour per session.

When it comes to technology and reading， the report does little to counsel （建議） parents looking for data about the effect of e-readers and tablets on reading. It does point out that many parents still limit electronic reading， mainly due to concerns about increased screen time.

The most hopeful data shared in the report shows clear evidence of parents serving as examples and important guides for their kids when it comes to reading. Data shows that kids and teens who do read frequently， compared to infrequent readers， have more books in the home， more books purchased for them， parents who read more often， and parents who set aside time for them to read.

As the end of school approaches， and school vacation reading lists loom （逼近） ahead， parents might take this chance to step in and make their own summer reading list and plan a family trip to the library or bookstore.

1. What is the Common Sense Media report probably about？

A. Childrens reading habits.

B. Quality of childrens books.

C. Parent-child relationships.

D. Childrens after-class activities.

2. Which paragraph best supports the idea “children are reading a lot less for fun”？

A. Paragraph 2. B. Paragraph 3.

C. Paragraph 4. D. Paragraph 5.

3. Why do many parents limit electronic reading？

A. E-books are expensive.

B. It could be a waste of time.

C. E-books are of poor quality.

D. It may harm childrens health.

4. How should parents encourage their children to read more？

A. Act as role models for them.

B. Tell them to write book reports.

C. Set up reading groups for them.

D. Talk with their reading class teachers.

On my granddaughter Marys 21st birthday， I sat with her and her expired （過期的） drivers license on a hard wooden bench at the DMV （the Department of Motor Vehicles）， waiting for our number to be called. The broadcast system announced numbers to call ticket holders to reach the desk to take an eye test or renew a registration. I felt as though we were staying at a bingo game， waiting for the winning number to be called so we could jump up and collect the prize.

And on that bench， I had a thought： The seemingly ordinary events Ive shared with my granddaughter were both my adventures and my rewards for just showing up. I grew up in an immigrant family in the suburb of Boston. A vacation for us was a bus trip to Central Square， with shopping bags filled with delicious foods followed by the muddy sand sucking our toes.

I looked forward to these small outings. It sounded boring to seek out the simple pleasures， but it was not. I traveled to remote islands， to Europe， and to many of Americas cities. Those trips were refreshing， but they were breaks. I prefer the mainstream of the ordinary.

I like the day trips. But the most wonderful time was when Mary and I stayed in the reading room. We talked about her homework， and played the roles of two thinkers discussing the Enlightenment （啟蒙運動）. We had our private book club， reading A Prayer for Owen Meany and copying the voice of the main character.

All of these ordinary moments are more valuable than the time it will take to travel around the world. Many people love adventures， like skydiving or climbing Mount Everest. But that is not who I am. I dont need those adventure experiences. In the end， it turns out that just showing up is enough for me.

5. What was the author doing at the DMV according to Paragraph 1？

A. Being with Mary to renew a license.

B. Preparing to take a driving exam.

C. Playing a bingo game with Mary.

D. Celebrating Marys 21st birthday.

6. Why does the author mention her childhood？

A. To express her enthusiasm for traveling.

B. To show her simple pleasures as a kid.

C. To show her identity as an immigrant.

D. To make a comparison with her life afterwards.

7. What can we infer about the author from the text？

A. She was fond of reading by herself.

B. She served as the best teacher for Mary.

C. She had a good relationship with Mary.

D. She was a sociable and caring grandmother.

8. What can be the best title for the text？

A. The Unforgettable Experience at DMV

B. My Pleasant Childhood Memories

C. My Life with My Granddaughter

D. Happiness from Ordinary Events
