These tastes continue unchanged until the children are teenagers. Apparently girls read more in general, but more fiction in particular. You could say that there are more opportunities for girls to read fiction: magazines encourage the fiction habit in girls in their early teens, and by their late teens they have probably moved on to the adult women's magazines. Teenage boys tend to buy magazines about their hobbies: motorcycles, heavy transport and so on.

　　Adult reading tastes are also the subject of research. Again the number of women who read for pleasure is considerably higher than the number of men. It seems that the majority of women still want love stories. There has also been some analysis of what men actually read. Apparently only 38 percent of men read anything, but 50 percent of what they read is fiction in the form of action­packed (情节起伏跌宕的) stories of space or gunmen.

　　语篇解读：研究表明，孩子的阅读习惯在很早就已形成且保持不变，直到他们长大成为青少年。

　　9．What did the recent research on children's reading show?

　　A．Children begin to read very fast at an early age.

　　B．Children examine in detail what they read at school.

　　C．Children can read clearly in primary school.

　　D．Children form their reading tastes at an early age.

　　解析：选D　细节理解题。根据第一段的第二句可知，最近的报告表明，孩子们甚至在七岁的时候就对于他们想要读的书有明确的观点，即在早期，孩子们就形成了他们的阅读喜好，故D项正确。
