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 36 to 40. In some countries, as many as nine out of ten adults read at least one newspaper a day. Why do so many people read newspapers? There are five basic functions of a newspaper: to inform, to comment, to persuade, to instruct and to entertain. You may well think that this list of functions is in order of importance but, if so, you would not be in agreement with the majority of the reading public. Of the two board categories of newspaper, the popular and the quality, the popular has a readership of millions while the quality papers, only hundreds of thousands. Yet, the popular newspapers seem largely designed for entertainment, with quizzes, competitions, cartoons and light-hearted human interest stories. Their news coverage contains a lot of comment and persuasive language; the information content is rather low and the instruction is very minor. The quality newspapers put much higher value on information and a much lower one on entertainment. It is not only in numbers of readers, content that two types of paper differ. There is a difference, too, in the style in which the articles are written. The popular papers generally use more dramatic language with a lot of word-play. Their journalists tend to use shorter sentences and avoid less well-known vocabulary. This means that the popular newspapers are easier for a native speaker to understand, though probably not for a non-native speaker. Question 36: The text implies that most newspaper readers ________. A. prefer entertainment to information B. read more than one newspaper a day C. read newspapers mainly for information D. find quality newspaper easier to read Question 37: Popular newspapers ________.

A. contain less dramatic and persuasive language and shorter sentences B. use more word-play and fewer cartoon pictures C. have small headlines with only well-known vocabulary D. are easier for native speakers to understand than for non-native speakers Question 40: Popular and quality newspapers have some differences about ________.
