Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 44 to 50
As the Internet has become more and more popular, we may be reading a great deal more than we used to. However, the way we are reading materials on the Internet, or online reading, is very different from the way we traditionally read printed materials.
In the traditional way of reading, we would start at the beginning of a book and read through to the end. In online reading, in contrast, we start reading a page, but may never finish it because a link on that page leads us to a passage on a different page, and so on. As we go from one page to another, we have to remember lots of different ideas at the same time. This new way of reading is quite different from the traditional one.
There are both advantages and disadvantages of online reading. In online reading, the brain gets better than ever at doing many tasks at the same time, or multitasking; and thanks to this, we can work quickly and think creatively. Multitasking is useful in certain working environments, but it also makes it more difficult for us to read at a deep level. We are, therefore, much less likely to analyse what we read in a critical way, or gain any real insight into the contents we are reading. This might lead to a future when a whole new generation lacks the ability to think critically and deeply about what they are reading.
The world is changing and our brains are probably changing to meet new demands in the modern world, just as they have always done throughout history. However, it is important for us to consider how to maintain our critical, deeper reading skills, while still dealing with online reading materials.

Tạm dịch:
Theo cách đọc truyền thống, chúng ta sẽ bắt đầu từ đầu một cuốn sách và đọc hết cho đến cuối. Ngược lại, khi đọc trực tuyến, chúng ta bắt đầu đọc một trang, nhưng có thể không bao giờ hoàn thành nó bởi vì một liên kết trên trang đó dẫn chúng ta đến một đoạn văn trên một trang khác, v.v.
Do đó, chúng ta ít có khả năng phân tích những gì chúng ta đọc theo cách phản biện hoặc có được bất kỳ cái nhìn sâu sắc thực sự nào về nội dung chúng ta đang đọc. Tuy nhiên, điều quan trọng là chúng ta phải cân nhắc làm thế nào để duy trì các kỹ năng đọc sâu hơn, phản biện của mình trong khi vẫn xử lý các tài liệu đọc trực tuyến.
Choose A.
