Question 1 of 10
1. Question
1 pointsDirections ( 1 – 5 ) You have a brief passage with five questions following the passage. Read the passage carefully and choose the best answer to each question out of the four alternatives.
A reason why people at school read books is to please their teacher. The teachers has said that this, that, or the other is a good book, and that it is a sign of good taste to enjoy it. So a number of boys and girls, anxious to please their teacher, get the book and read it. Two or three of them may genuinely like it, for its own sake, and be grateful to the teacher for putting it in their way. But many will not honestly like it, or will persuade themselves that they like it. And that does a great deal of harm. The people who cannot like book run the risk of two things happening to them; either they are put off the idea of the book-let us suppose the book was David Copperfield – either they are put off the idea of classical novels, or they take a dislike to Dickens, and decide firmly never to waste their time on anything of the sort again; or they get a guilty conscience about the whole thing, they feel that they do not like what they ought to like and that therefore there is something wrong with them.
They are quite mistaken, of course. There is nothing wrong with them. The mistake has all been on the teacher’s side. What has happened is that they have been shoved up against for it. It is like giving a young child food only suitable for an adult. Result: indigestion, violent stomach ache, and a rooted dislike of that article of food evermore.
