Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer.

Did you know that reading can keep your mind active and engaged well into old age? Several years ago when I was working as a newspaper reporter, I interviewed a woman who was a resident at a local nursing home. She was 100 years ol She read at least one book per week. She was bright, intelligent and fun to talk with. "I love to rea It helps me keep up with what is going on in the world," she sai "A friend of mine brings me a new book every week. I look forward to her visits and I look forward to the books. We talk about the books we have rea"

Reading has other benefits, as well. For one thing, reading a good story can help you forget some of the problems in your own life. "I can't get around much anymore," said the 100-year-old woman who lived in the nursing home. "When I go somewhere, I have to go in a wheelchair now. But when I read, I can go anywhere, anytime I want. And no one has to help me!"

Reading also sets a good example for younger generations. From my own experience as an English teacher, I have observed that the best readers are those students who have parents that enjoy reading. I am not talking about only reading novels or nonfiction books. Newspapers and magazines are important too. If you do read yourself, your actions will communicate more to your children and grandchildren about how much you value reading than anything you could ever say. If the opportunity presents itself, I urge you to take the time to read to a child, or take the time to let a child see you reading. Everyone will benefit, the child, you, and our society.

Reading helps to make readers look younger than their age.
