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.

Reading books has always been regarded as one of the most effective habits for personal development. When people read, they are exposed to new words, different writing styles, and diverse ideas, which naturally enriches their vocabulary and sharpens their language skills. Studies have shown that teenagers who read books regularly often perform significantly better in academic subjects than those who do not.

Apart from educational benefits, reading is a great way to relieve stress after long hours of study or hard work. Getting lost in a compelling story helps your mind escape from daily worries and allows your body to relax. According to health researchers, reading a printed book for just twenty minutes before bedtime can improve sleep quality, whereas looking at digital screens often keeps the brain overly active.

Furthermore, reading helps develop empathy and critical thinking. By discovering the lives, struggles, and emotions of different characters across various cultures and eras, readers learn to see the world from multiple viewpoints. This broad perspective enables them to understand other people better and make thoughtful decisions in life.
