Ⅰ.阅读理解

If you grew up in a household that had its fair share of bookshelves, it might say something positive about your personality when you're all grown－up.

This new study found that people who grew up in book－filled homes have higher levels of reading, maths, and technological skills.The researchers analyzed data featuring 160,000 adults aged 25 to 65 across 31 nations.All participants were asked how many books there were in their home when they were 16 years old.They chose from a series of alternatives ranging from “10 or less” to “more than 500”．

If a household held at least 80 books, then participants went on to display the average level of literacy (读写能力) and numeracy (计算能力)．The level of literacy continued to increase in parallel to the number of books a household contained until the level didn't increase from 350 books onwards.Furthermore, young teenagers who grew up around books were shown to have the same levels of literacy and numeracy as university graduates who had only grown up around a few books.

Literacy was clarified as “the ability to read effectively to participate in society and achieve personal goals”．Participants took tests that “captured a range of basics of advanced comprehension skills, from reading brief texts for a single piece of information to synthesizing (综合) information from complex texts”．Numeracy tests measured the “ability to use mathematical concepts in everyday life”， while IT－related tests “assessed the ability to use digital technology to communicate with others, as well as to gather, analyze, and synthesize information”．

The results suggest those books made a long－term difference.“Growing up with home libraries improves adult skills in these areas beyond the benefits from parental education, or one's own educational or occupational attainment，” the researchers reported.Not surprisingly, the biggest effect was on reading ability.“The total effects of home library size on literacy are large everywhere，” the researchers reported.
