A good deal of fascinating research has been done about the reading patterns of young people,
and it is surprising to discover at what early age children start expressing preferences for
particular kinds of books. A recent report, which examined in detail the reading habits of
primary-school children, showed that even seven-year-old boys and girls have clear views
about what they want to read. Girls, in general, read more, and far more girls than boys
preferred reading stories. Boys were showing a taste for the more instant appeal of picture
stories, or else books about their hobbies.
These tastes continue unchanged until the children are teenagers. Apparently girls read more in
general, but more fiction in particular. You could say that there are more opportunities for girls
to read fiction: magazines encourage the fiction habit in girls in their early teens, and by their
late teens, girls have probably moved on to the adult women’s magazines. Teenage boys tend to
buy magazines about their hobbies: sports, motorcycles, heavy transport and so on.

A. Far more boys than girls are interested in love stories
B. There are more opportunities for girls to buy magazines than for boys
C. Children generally don’t care what they should read
