Question 1: Precise the following passage and suggest a suitable title.
The lives of most of us are always sympathetic. Exciting, dangerous, or adventurous never
happens to us. Through books, children can live in a very interesting, dangerous, and brave
world. Books like “Treasure Island” provide a child with an interesting and dangerous world in
which anything can and does happen. Later, detective stories and actual accounts of wars and
battles provide all the escape that is often required from everyday life. These are safety valves.
They provide a shop and are an antidote to anger. Everyone from presidents to lower citizens
needs it. Children who study extensively and deeply are less likely to go around throwing stones
at buses, smashing buildings, and smashing public property. They are thrilled by the books and
do not look for them in the dark streets and spite of the senseless and foolish persecution of
stabbing and killing.
