As the Internet has become more and more popular, we may be reading a great deal more than we used to However, the way we are reading materials on the Internet, or online reading, is very different from the way
we traditionally read printed materials
In the traditional way of reading, we would start at the beginning of a book and read through to the end In online reading, in contrast, we start reading a page, but may never finish it because a link on that page leads us
to a passage on a different page, and so on As we go from one page to another, we have to remember lots of different ideas at the same time This new way of reading is quite different from the traditional one
There are both advantages and disadvantages of online reading In online reading, the brain gets better than
ever at doing many tasks at the same time, or multitasking; and thanks to this, we can work quickly and think creatively Multitasking is useful in certain working environments, but it also makes it more difficult for us to
read at a deep level We are, therefore, much less likely to analyze what we read in a critical way, or gain any real insight into the contents we are reading This might lead to a future when a whole new generation lacks the ability to think critically and deeply about what they are reading
The world is changing and our brains are probably changing to meet new demands in the modern world, just as they have always done throughout history However, it is important for us to consider how to maintain our critical, deeper reading skills, while still dealing with online reading materials

A always read from the beginning till the end B tend to read the last part before anything else

Question 39: The word “it” in paragraph 3 refers to .

Question 40: Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A In the traditional way of reading, we would read from the beginning through to the end.
B We read online materials in the same way as we read printed materials.
C Multitasking enables us to work quickly and think creatively.
D Possibly our brains are changing to meet new demands in the modern world.
