V. READING COMPREHENSION: (1.5 pts) 
 A. Reading plays an important role in our lives. Not only is it the fastest way to reach for 
new information and new knowledge, but it is also useful in building maturity and widening 
awareness of contemporary issues. Besides, reading gave human the ability to think deeply and 
seek for changes, which is especially important for people in Malaysia which has the vision of 
becoming an advanced country in 2020. However, despite being one of the countries in South-
East Asia with the highest literacy rate (93.2%), Malaysia is still far behind developed countries 
like Japan, United States and Britain, which have a literacy rate of 99%. 
Malaysia is suffering a poor reading culture among the citizens. It was found that Malaysians 
are only keen on reading books that are related to their work field or of light genre. They opined 
that reading things that are not to their interest is a waste of time and will not contribute to self-
development, in which such mindset had prevented them from reading to expand knowledge. 
Also, most Malaysians were not inculcated to read since they were young, and they are less 
willing to spend money to buy quality books.

1. Reaching for new information and knowledge is the only benefit we gain from reading. 
2. Malaysia is the country with the highest literacy rate in the world. 
3. Citizens in Malaysia love reading books which are related to their work field or of light 
genre.
