IV.Reading Comprehension (20%): Read the following passages and select the best answer for the questions that follow Passage I.  Thanks to the ubiquity of text on the Internet，not to mention the popularity of text-messaging on cell phones, we may well be reading more today than we did in tbe 1970s or 1980s, when television was our medium of choice. But it，s a different kind of reading, and behind it lies a different kind of thinkingperhaps even a new sense of the self. “We are not only what we read,” says Maryanne Wolf, a developmental psychologist at Tufts University and the author of Proust and the Squid: The Story and Science of the Reading Brain. “We are how we read.” Wolf worries that the style of reading promoted by the Net, a style that puts “efficiency” and “immediacy” above all else, may be weakening our capacity for the kind of deep reading that emerged when an earlier technology, the printing press, made long and complex works of prose commonplace. When we read online, she says, we tend to become “mere decoders of information•” Our ability to interpret text, to make the rich mental connections that form when we read deeply and without distraction, remains largely disengaged.
