 It is often said that books are always good friends and reading is an active mental process. 
Unlike TV, books make you use your brain. By reading, you think more and become smarter. 
Reading improves concentration and focus. Reading books takes brain power. It requires you to 
focus on what you are reading for long periods. Unlike magazines, Internet posts or e-mails that 
might contain small pieces of information. Books tell the whole story. Since you must concentrate 
 3 in order to read, you will get better at concentration. Many studies show if you do not use your 
memory; you lose it. Reading helps you stretch your memory muscles. Reading requires 
remembering details, facts and figures and in literature, plot lines, themes and characters.
 Reading is a good way to improve your vocabulary. Do you remember that when you 
were at elementary school you learned how to infer the meaning of one word by reading the 
context of the other words in the sentence? While reading books, especially challenging ones, 
you will find yourself exposed to many new words.
 Reading is a fundamental skill builder. Every good course has a matching book to go with 
it. Why? Because books help clarify difficult subjects. Books provide information that goes 
deeper than just classroom discussions By reading more books you become better informed 
and more of an expert on the topics you read about. This expertise translates into higher self-
esteem. Since you are so well-read, people look to you for answers. Your feelings about 
yourself can only get better.
 Books give you knowledge of other cultures and places. The more information you have 
got, the richer your knowledge is. Books can expand your horizons by letting you see what 
other cities and countries have to offer before you visit them.
1. Books have great influence on ________.
 A. TV B. friendship C. brain D. muscles
2. When you are reading a book, ________.
 A. you have to read small pieces of information B. you use your brain in concentration and focus
 C. you have to read during a very long time D. you lose your memory
3. A challenging book ________.
 A. helps you to improve your vocabulary B. is only for primary pupils
 C. can translate all new words D. contains a lot of difficult vocabulary
4. Books ________.
 A. are compulsory in every course B. are not needed in most of course
 C. contain less information than class discussions D. make a sick patient feel better
5. Books cannot give you ________.
 A. knowledge B. information C. self-esteem D. Muscles
