Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions from 1 to 5.
Students who stay up all night to cram for an exam are doing themselves more harm than good,
according to research into the link between sleep and memory published yesterday.
Scientists at Harvard Medical School discovered that people who deprive themselves of sleep so that
they can study until the last minute are unlikely to remember anything that would improve their
performance, while suffering the crippling effects of fatigue. The scientists found that the brain needs
good-quality sleep immediately after practicing a task if it is to learn to improve at it. Those who substitute
study for sleep, particularly those who miss deep or “slow-wave” sleep will get little benefit from their
extra effort.
The findings, published in Nature Neuroscience, add to a growing body of evidence that sleep is vital
to the learning process. The results, Professor Stickgold said, suggest that a good night’s sleep
immediately after learning is “absolutely required” to embed new skills in the memory. “We think that
the first night’s sleep starts the process of memory consolidation,” he said. “It seems that memories
normally wash out of the brain unless some process nails them down. My suspicion is that sleep is one of
those things that nails them down.”

There is a great concern in Europe and North America about declining standards of literacy in schools.
The development of literacy has far-reaching effects on general intellectual development and thus
anything which impedes the development of literacy is a serious matter for us all. So the hunt is on for
the cause of the decline in literacy.
When teachers use picture books, they are simply continuing a long-established tradition that is
accepted without question. And for the past two decades, illustrations in reading primers have become
increasingly detailed and obtrusive, while language has become impoverished-sometimes to the point of
extinction.

Amazingly, there is virtually no empirical evidence to support the use of illustrations in teaching
reading. On the contrary, a great deal of empirical evidence shows that pictures interfere in a damaging
way with all aspects of learning to read. The artwork is often marvellous, but the pictures make the
language redundant, and the children have no need to imagine anything when they read such books.
Looking at a picture actively prevents children younger than nine from creating a mental image, and can
make it difficult for older children. In order to learn how to comprehend, they need to practise making
their own meaning in response to text. They need to have their innate powers of imagination trained. As
they grow older, many children turn aside from books without pictures, and it is a situation made more
serious as our culture becomes more visual. It is hard to wean children off picture books when pictures
have played a major part throughout their formative reading experiences, and when there is competition
for their attention from so many other sources of entertainment.
Pictures are also used to help motivate children to read because they are beautiful and eye-catching.
But motivation to read should be provided by listening to stories well read, where children imagine in
response to the story. Then, as they start to read, they have this experience to help them understand the
language. If we present pictures to save children the trouble of developing these creative skills, then we
are making a great mistake.
Question 42. Which of the following is TRUE, according to the passage?
A. There have been improvements in literacy standards in European academic institutions.
B. It is only recently that pictures books have been used in teaching reading to children.
C. Because pictures are visually attractive, they are utilized as a way to encourage children to read.
D. Pictures in books have been conclusively proved to do wonders for teaching reading.
Question 43. It can be inferred from the passage that______.
A. older readers are having difficulty in adjusting to texts without pictures
B. children may be vulnerable to mental problems if exposed too much to picture books
C. children need to be very imaginative to interpret pictures in books.
D. illiteracy was not a grave concern in Europe and North America in the past
Question 44. According to paragraph 2, pictures in reading books______.
A. prevent students from raising questions to their teachers
B. are mostly drawn in the traditional style
C. are now much simpler than they used to
D. sometimes dominate at the expense of text
Question 45. The word "their" in paragraph 3 refers to_______
A. children B. pictures books
C. books without pictures D. pictures
Question 46. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A. Picture Books - More Harm Than Good
B. Getting Children Accustomed to Picture Books
