Reading to oneself is a modern activity which was almost unknown to the scholars of the classical and medieval worlds, while during the fifteenth century the term “reading” undoubtedly meant reading
aloud Only during the nineteenth century did silent reading become commonplace.
One should be wary, however, of assuming that silent reading came about simply because reading aloud was a distraction to others Examinations of factors related to the historical development of silent reading have revealed that it became the usual mode of reading for most adults mainly because the tasks themselves changed in character
The last century saw a steady gradual increase in literacy and thus in the number of readers As the number of readers increases, the number of potential listeners decline and thus there was some reduction in the need to read aloud As reading for the benefit of listeners grew less common, so came the flourishing of reading as a private activity in such public places as libraries, railway carriages and offices, where reading aloud would cause distraction to other readers
Towards the end of the century, there was still considerable argument over whether books should be used for information or treated respectfully and over whether the reading of materials such as newspapers was in some mentally weakening Indeed, this argument remains with us still in education However, whatever its virtues, the old shared literacy culture had gone and was replaced by the printed mass media on
the one hand and by books and periodicals for a specialized readership on the other.
By the end of the twentieth century, students were being recommended to adopt attitudes to books
and to use reading skills which were inappropriate, if not impossible, for the oral reader.

Trang 8A the increase in literacy B the decreasing number of listeners
C the decreasing need to read aloud D the development of libraries
Question 40 The phrase “a specialized readership” in paragraph 4 mostly means “ ”
A a reading volume for particular professionals B a status for reader specialized in mass media
C a requirement for readers in a particular area of knowledge
