It is often said that books are always a 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 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.

ARE HUMAN BEINGS GETTING SMARTER?
Do you think you're smarter than your parents and grandparents? According to James Flynn, a professor at a New Zealand university, you are! Over the course of the last century, people who have taken IQ tests have gotten increasingly better scores-on average, three points better for every decade that has passed. This improvement is known as "the Flynn effect," and scientists want to know what is behind it.
IQ tests and other similar tests are designed to measure general intelligence rather than knowledge. Flynn knew that intelligence is partly inherited from our parents and partly the result of our environment and experiences, but the improvement in test scores was happening too quickly to be explained by heredity. So what was happening in the 20th century that was helping people achieve higher scores on intelligence tests?
Scientists have proposed several explanations for the Flynn effect. Some suggest that the improved test scores simply reflect an increased exposure to tests in general. Because we take so many tests, we learn test-taking techniques that help us perform better on any test. Others have pointed to better nutrition since it results in babies being born larger, healthier, and with more brain development than in the past. Another possible explanation is a change in educational styles, with teachers encouraging children to learn by discovering things for themselves rather than just memorizing information. This could prepare people to do the kind of problem solving that intelligence tests require.
Flynn limited the possible explanations when he looked carefully at the test data and discovered that the improvement in scores was only on certain parts of the IQ test. Test takers didn't do better on the arithmetic or vocabulary sections of the test; they did better on sections that required a special kind of reasoning and problem solving. For example, one part of the test shows a set of abstract shapes, and test-takers must look for patterns and connections between them and decide which shape should be added to the set.
According to Flynn, this visual intelligence improves as the amount of technology in our lives increases. Every time you play a computer game or figure out how to program a new cell phone, you are exercising exactly the kind of thinking and problem solving that helps you do well on one kind of intelligence test. So are you really smarter than your parents? In one very specific way, you may be.
Which statement would Professor Flynn agree with?
A. People today are more intelligent than in the past in every way
B. People today have fewer problems to solve
C. People today are taking easier tests
D. People today have more visual intelligence
Đáp án D
Thông tin: According to Flynn, this visual intelligence improves as the amount of technology in our lives increases.
Dịch nghĩa: Theo Flynn, loại thông minh hình ảnh này cải thiện khi lượng công nghệ trong cuộc sống chúng ta tăng lên.
Cuộc sống của chúng ta ngày càng được bao phủ bởi công nghệ, do đó ta ngày càng thông minh hình ảnh hơn. Phương án D. People today have more visual intelligence= Con người ngày nay có nhiều trí thông minh hình ảnh hơn, là phương án chính xác nhất.
A. People today are more intelligent than in the past in every way = Con người ngày nay thông minh hơn ngày xưa ở mọi khía cạnh.
“the improvement in scores was only on certain parts of the IQ test” = sự cải thiện trong điểm số chỉ ở một số phần nhất định của bài kiểm tra IQ.
Do đó con người ngày nay chỉ thông minh hơn ở một số phần nhất định chứ không phải tất cả các mặt.
B. People today have fewer problems to solve = Con người ngày nay có ít vấn đề cần giải quyết hơn.

C. People today are taking easier tests. = Con người ngày nay đang làm những bài kiểm tra dễ hơn.
