8 . The Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) is a worldwide study of 15-year-old school pupils’ scholastic performance in maths, science, and reading. A closer look at the reading tests shows the interesting fact that girls are outperforming boys in reading and that reading for enjoyment rather than simply for study or school work purposes has a positive impact on reading performance. The PISA study found that in all countries assessed (apart from South Korea), girls read for enjoyment more than boys. The study found that in all the countries assessed, just over half of boys (52%), but almost three-quarters of girls (73%) said that they read for enjoyment.
What does the PISA study imply?
| A．Reading for study purposes helps with learning. |
| B．Reading for pleasure affects overall academic success. |
| C．Reading for pleasure contributes to improving reading skills. |
| D．Reading for study purposes does no good to reading performance. |
9 . Where did the idea of “white bikes” come from? In the 1960s, a group of cycling fans came up with an idea. They believed that it would be better for everybody if cars weren’t allowed in the city centre and only bicycles were. They were hopeful that this would help to save energy, reduce pollution and provide free public transport. The group painted hundreds of bicycles white and placed them in many areas around Amsterdam for people to use. Anyone was allowed to take them and use them for short journeys. People would leave the bike in the place where they finished their journey, so that someone else could then take it and use it from there. Soon after, however, problems came up and the “white bikes” all disappeared — thieves stole them all in a matter of weeks!
Why did the group come up with the idea of “white bikes”?
| A．To ensure traffic safety. | B．To reduce transport costs. |
| C．To encourage physical activity. | D．To promote green transport. |
