IV. Read the following and do as directed.

Comic books have long been a popular source of entertainment and amusement for children. However, comic
books aren’t just about superheroes and villains, and they are certainly not just for boys. Kids all over the globe
have enjoyed reading from Tintin, Asterisks to Spiderman and Teen Titans regardless of the digital wave on large
screens. These graphic novels include many different genres such as comedy, drama, sci-fi and fantasy, and they
are bound to suit all tastes, ages and reading levels.
The most obvious benefit of comic books is that they are easier to read than regular books. They contain easy-
to-read sentences alongside other visual and text cues. This can be extremely appealing to young children who
would otherwise have little interest in reading traditional forms of books. Many children who think they hate
reading respond particularly well to comic books that are based on movies or television shows like Spider-Man
and Batman.
By reading comics, young children are encouraged to read between the lines and infer meaning from the
images. This means that they figure out implications, using evidence and reasoning. It’s an important component
of successful comprehension and a valuable life skill for all young children to develop. As a result of taking in a
combination of words and illustrations, they obtain the overview easier than they would from using textbooks
alone.
True/False Questions:
Câu 17. People of all ages can read comic books.
A. True B. False
Câu 18. Young children like reading traditional books than comic books.
A. True B. False
Câu 19. Children have to use their power to think and understand hidden messages of graphic novels.
A. True B. False
Câu 20. Reasoning is not necessary for young children in their lives.
A. True B. False
Choose the correct answer to each question:
Câu 21. What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. Different genres of comic books B. History of comic strips
C. Advantages of reading graphic novels D. Comparison between textbooks and comic books
Câu 22. Why does the author mention “Tintin, Asterisks, Spider-Man and Teen Titans”?
A. To illustrate how comic books are made into movies.
B. To explain that comic books are not as interesting as cartoons.
C. To inform that many young children like reading books.
D. To support that reading comic books are still popular.
