VII Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D in the numbered box to
indicate the correct answer to each of the questions
In today’s competitive world, what responsible parent would not want to give their children the best possible start in life? For this reason, many parents want their children, often as young
as ten months old, to become familiar with computers They seem to think that, if their children grow up with computers, they will be better equipped to face the challenges of the future
No one has proved that computers make children more creative or more intelligent The truth may even be the opposite Educational psychologists claim that too much exposure to computers, especially for the very young, may negatively affect normal brain development Children gain valuable experience of the world from their interaction with physical objects Ten-month-old babies may benefit more from bumping her head or putting various objects in their mouth than they will from staring at eye-catching cartoons A four-year-old child can improve hand-eye coordination and understand cause and effect better by experimenting with a crayon than by moving a cursor around a computer screen So, as educational psychologists suggest, instead of government funding going to more and more computer classes, it might be better to devote resources to music and art programs
It is ludicrous to think that children will fall behind if they are not exposed to computers from
an early age Time is too precious to spend with a “mouse” Now is the time when they should be out there learning to ride a bike There will be time later on for them to start banging away at keyboards
1 Why do parents want their children to learn how to use a computer from an early age?
A Because they afraid their children will become competitive.
B Because they want their children to be well prepared for their future.
C Because this is what all the other parents seem to do.
D Because they believe their children will have difficulty learning to use one if they don’t start
early
2 Children who spend a lot of time on their computers
A do not necessarily make more progress than those who don’t.
B tend to like music and art more than those who don’t.
C will suffer from brain damage.
D tend to have more accidents than those who don’t.
3 The author implies that children learn better
A after they have developed hand-eye coordination.
B when they use a computer.
C as they get older.
D when they hold and feel things around them.
4 What would be an appropriate title for this passage?
A Never too early to start B Let kids be kids
C Computers in schools D More computers mean brighter future
5 What does the word “ludicrous” in the third paragraph (first sentence) mean?
A ridiculous B humorous C ironic D sensible
