The first question to ask about fiction is: Why bother to read it? With life as short as it is, with so many pressing demands on our time, with books of information, instruction and discussion waiting to be read, why should we spend precious time on works of fiction? The eternal answers to this question are two: enjoyment and understanding.

Roses are the oldest source of perfume. Ancient documents mention rose oil, which is the strongest form of this scent, and in The Iliad Homer relates how Aphrodite rubbed Hector’s dead body with rose oil.

The method of extracting essential oil of roses was not discovered until much later. The most delightful story told of the discovery of the essential oil relates to the Emperor Jihangir
(1569-1627) who is said to have had distilled rose water poured into channels in the extensive garden of his palace so that the air was filled with this beautiful scent.

Laughter’s social role is definitely important. Today’s children may be heading for a whole lot of social ills because their play and leisure time is so isolated and they lose out on lots of chances for laughter. When children stare at computer screens, rather than laughing with each other,they get so involved that they forget to laugh at all; this is contrary to what’s natural for them. Natural social behaviour in children is playful behaviour, and in such situations laughter indicates that make-believe aggression is just fun, not serious. This is an important way in which children form positive emotional ties, gain new social skills and generally start to move from childhood to adulthood. Parents need to be very careful to ensure that their children play in groups and laugh more.
- The passage emphasizes the point that —-.
? children seem to have grown more aggressive since the computer entered their lives
? children need to take part in group activities
? computer games have a beneficial effect on social behaviour
? laughter does not often have a social role
? the computer helps speed up a child’s emotional development

? children get no pleasure out of their computers
? computers tend to make children isolated and less sociable
? a great deal of time is wasted
Laughter’s social role is definitely important. Today’s children may be heading for a whole lot of social ills because their play and leisure time is so isolated and they lose out on lots of chances for laughter. When children stare at computer screens, rather than laughing with each other,they get so involved that they forget to laugh at all; this is contrary to what’s natural for them. Natural social behaviour in children is playful behaviour, and in such situations laughter indicates that make-believe aggression is just fun, not serious. This is an important way in which children form positive emotional ties, gain new social skills and generally start to move from childhood to adulthood. Parents need to be very careful to ensure that their children play in groups and laugh more. - According to the passage, children need to laugh —- .
? and computer games can provide the opportunity
? especially when they are not involved in group activities
? and usually manage to do so even when they are being really aggressive
? because this helps them to form relationships with others and grow up emotionally
? otherwise they will become ill-balanced adults and isolate themselves from others - – 69. soruları aşağıdaki parçaya göre cevaplayınız.

The leader writers of various other newspapers enlarged upon the topic.
