A READING
I Read the passage below carefully and choose the correct answer a, b, c or d.

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
