READING COMPREHENSION Read the file and answer the following questions. First read the text. Then answer the questions. Hi to our new friends in London, UK. Here’s a description of life in Toronto. Toronto is the capital of Ontario in Canada. The city is very close to Lake Ontario. It snows in Toronto from December until March. For 65 days of the year there is one centimetre or more of snow on the streets. In winter we usually stay at home or go to shopping centres under the city. We love summer and on July 1st there is a big festival, Canada Day. We go to Mel Lastman Square to see the fireworks and listen to music. It’s fantastic! In winter, when it’s cold, we often go skating at the weekends, or we go to the cinema. We go skiing with our mum and dad on Saturdays too. It’s good to play in the snow, but it’s very cold, so we drink hot chocolate when we go home. In the autumn school starts at 8:20am and ends at 3:30pm. We do our homework at 4:30 and finish at 7pm. We have dinner between 7 and 8 o’clock. Sometimes we eat later because our mum and dad both work.

Read the text and answer the questions Britain before technology You might be surprised to hear that before some of the inventions that we take for granted in our everyday lives had been created, people were still able to achieve many of the things that modern technology does for us nowadays. Waking up without alarm clocks Have you ever thought about how people used to wake up in the morning before alarm clocks were invented? Well, they didn't use to wake up by magic. There was a person who used to go from house to house in the morning, knocking on the windows of the sleeping inhabitants with a wooden stick. He had a short stick for the windows on the ground floor and a longer, lighter one for the windows which were too high to reach. This person was called a knocker-upper. The job of the knocker-upper died out in the 1920s when alarm clocks became available to all members of British society. Learning the news without the modern media There wasn't always television or radio to make it possible for people to learn the latest news and in the old days quite a lot of people were unable to read and write, so not everybody could read a newspaper or a printed advertisement. Indeed, many people used to find out about what was going on in town from a person called a town crier or bellman. The town crier used to stand in a central location in the town, ring the bell that he held in his hand and announce the news to the people simply by shouting it out. Town criers still exist in some towns in Britain but, although they wear traditional costumes, they only perform their duties at special ceremonies. Keeping food cold without refrigerators Before fridges had become widely available, people used to keep iceboxes in their houses to keep food cool and fresh. These iceboxes had to be filled frequently with new ice and this was done by a person called an iceman. The iceman used to deliver ice, which had been cut into huge blocks from frozen rivers or lakes, to houses many times a week. The job of the iceman had started to disappear by the 1950s as fridges gradually replaced iceboxes in British homes. Complete the summary. Write one or two words from the text in each gap (1−10). Do not change the form of the words. How people woke up w/o alarm clocks People woke up with the help of a (1) _______________ called a (2) _______________ who used to visit houses in the morning and knock on the windows with a wooden stick. In the 1920s this job started to disappear because people could buy (3) _______________ . Answer for 3: __________ Do not use capital letter

READING 1. Read the text. Then complete each sentence with one word. I’ll never forget the first time I tried windsurfing. I was 13 and I was on vacation in Puerta Vallarta with my friend Beth and her family. Her older brother Andy was a very good windsurfer and he wanted to teach us. I liked Andy a lot. I thought he was very good-looking, so I felt really pleased he wanted to teach us. So, on the second day of our vacation, Andy, Beth and I walked to the beach. It was very hot and sunny but it was pretty windy, too. It was perfect weather for windsurfing. At first, I felt really excited. I couldn’t wait to run into the ocean and jump on the windsurf board. It looked really easy and the other windsurfers were having a great time. First of all, Andy put the windsurf board down on the sand. Then, he stood on the board and showed us how to stand and hold the arm of the sail. It looked easy and I felt very excited. Beth wanted to be the first to try so we took the board into the water. Andy jumped on the board and showed us again how to stand up. When Beth tried, she immediately fell into the water. She tried again and again and each time she fell into the ocean. After ten minutes, she was really tired and miserable. I started to feel really nervous – and no wonder – I was a lot worse than Beth! Andy tried to teach me, but I was terrible. Three boys on the beach were laughing at me and I felt really embarrassed. After ten minutes, I was hot, tired, and totally fed up. In the end, we decided to leave the windsurf board on the beach and we went for a swim. That was the first and last time I ever trid windsurfing. 4 On the day they tried windsurfing, they had perfect __________.

READING Read the text and choose True or False. China’s Superman You may not have heard of Li Ka-shing, but he is one of the ten richest people in the world, and it is likely you have bought something through him or from him without realizing it. He is chairman of the Cheung Kong Group, a globally successful business group that includes banking, construction, property, plastics, cell phones, satellite television, cement production, drugstores and supermarkets, hotels, transportation, airports, electric power, steel production, ports, and shipping. But his story is not only one of great achievement and success in business. The challenges of his past have helped him become the person he is today. Li Ka-shing was born in China, but because of troubles there in the 1940s, his family couldn’t stay so they moved to Hong Kong. He looked for work, and when he couldn’t find anything on his own, he managed to get a job selling watches in his uncle’s store. He didn’t need to work there long for everyone to realize that he was a first-class salesman. When he was only 21, he started a factory producing plastic flowers, and within a few years he had managed to make himself a very rich man from selling them. When people asked him if he had been lucky he used to say, “No, I wasn't lucky. I worked hard to achieve the goals I set for myself,” so he clearly thought that he hadn’t needed luck. After nine years, Li wasn’t able to continue renting his flower factory because the owner didn’t agree to it. If he wanted to continue with his factory, he needed to buy the land himself, so that’s what he did. He managed to buy land when it was very cheap. This is how he managed to become super-rich later because land prices just went up and up and up. After that, he never looked back and moved into other areas of business such as ports, cell-phone companies, and electricity. But as well as making money, Li Ka-shing has also dedicated much of his time to helping people less fortunate than himself. He set up the Li Ka Shing foundation, an organization which works to improve education and healthcare for those who need it. It isn’t surprising that some people in Hong Kong call him “superman.” 1 Li Ka-shing is the richest man in the world. True / False 2 He has many businesses including property, transportation, and steel production. True / False 3 His family moved to China because of troubles in Hong Kong. True / False 4 He wasn’t able to find a job when he first arrived there. True / False 5 His first job was in a factory. True / False 6 He set up a factory when he was 21. True / False 7 His success with the flower factory wasn’t due to luck. True / False 8 When land prices went up, he became very rich. True / False 9 After that, he set up businesses in ports, roads, and television companies. True / False 10 He is interested in improving education and healthcare for disadvantaged people. True / False 9. __________________

READING Read the text and complete the sentences. The Coliseum The Coliseum is one of Rome’s most famous monuments. It’s a giant ancient theater in the shape of a circle, called an amphitheater. It’s right in the middle of Rome, with traffic circling it at high speed all the time. It was built over 2,000 years ago, and held up to 50,000 spectators. People would go there to see gladiators fighting or other kinds of entertainment such as animal displays, executions, and plays. It was one of the greatest spectacles of ancient Rome. But the problem facing the people of Rome today is what to do with it now. It is very old, very damaged, and in the middle of a busy traffic route. The air pollution caused by traffic is destroying it. To preserve it, the roads around it could be closed, but that would create problems when driving from one part of Rome to the other. Some people say that cars shouldn’t be allowed near it, and special public transportation should be designed to take people around it. They want plans to be developed for this, and believe the Coliseum deserves to be treated especially carefully because it is so unique. The structure of the building has already been damaged because of pollution, and the way the traffic shakes its foundation. Something has to be done soon. Another problem is the damage caused by visitors. In fact, some people think it should be closed to the public, and that it should be opened only for very special reasons, like making films, holding concerts, or church festivals. The problem is that the huge numbers of tourists who visit it bring a lot of money into the city. The Coliseum continues to be seen as an extremely important part of historical Rome, so everyone wants to go there. But the number of people who come end up causing damage to the building. Many people feel that if city authorities go on allowing people to visit the Coliseum, only a certain number of people should be allowed to visit each year, in the same way that visitor numbers are limited at Machu Picchu in Peru, for example. One thing is for certain; the future of the Coliseum cannot be guaranteed until something is done. 1 The Coliseum is an __________________________. 2 It was built __________________________ years ago. 3 It can hold __________________________ people. 4 It was originally used for fights, animal displays, executions, and __________________________. 5 The Coliseum is at risk because there’s too much __________________________ around it. 6 People have suggested designing __________________________ to reduce air pollution. 7 The __________________________ has been damaged by the traffic. 8 Some people think the Coliseum should be closed to the public because visitors __________________________. 9 The Coliseum is valuable to __________________________ because it’s a big attraction for visitors. 10 Allowing a limited number of __________________________ each year could be done at the Coliseum like it has been at Machu Picchu. 3. _________________
