 READING

Task 1. Read the following passage and do the tasks

STAYING SAFE
When you ask more people about the benefits of apps on their smartphone, they say they use them to
play games, surf the net, keep in touch with people and organise social events. But Jenny Harlow, a
scientist from London, has got an app that does something much more important: it warns her when
she is in danger. The app is called Safety Tips and it gives users real-time earthquake and tsunami
warnings. The Japan Tourist Agency had the idea for the app after the 2011 earthquake in Japan,
when many foreign tourists in the country were confused about what was happening and what they
should do. Jenny was on a business trip to Japan when the earthquake struck. ‘Although there are a
lot of earthquakes in Japan, it was the first time I experienced one. All the warnings and information
on the internet, radio and TV were in Japanese, and I couldn’t understand. It was really confusing
and I didn’t know what to do.’ She had to rely on Japanese colleagues to help her.
The Safety Tips app sends an alert to users when a major earthquake happens, and also tells
them if a tsunami is likely to arrive at the coast. The app gives lots of tips about what to do, where to
go and how to stay safe, as well as a list of useful Japanese phrases such as ‘Is this an earthquake?’
and ‘Is it safe here?’ Importantly, all the information is in English, and there are plans to add other
languages. The Japan Tourist Agency plans to advertise the app at airports and tourist information
centres in Japan. In order to get the app, people visit a website and download it. ‘I’m coming to
Japan again next year and I will definitely watch out for alerts from the app,’ says Jenny.
Task 1. Read then decide whether the following sentences are True (T) or False (F) or Not
Given (NG)
1. All people say they use them to play games, surf the net, keep in touch with people and organise

WHAT WOULD YOUR LIFE BE LIKE WITHOUT A PHONE?
It is true that everything works at a fast pace these days, due to the quick access we have to
pretty much anything and anyone. For example, you can contact someone who lives on the other
side of the world within seconds. This is great if you think about how connected we can stay to the
people who are far away from us; however, on the contrary, can we be too connected to the people
who are close to us? An argument arose about the fact that it is easier to message someone from
your sofa than to meet them in person and talk. On one hand, it is easier and nice sometimes to
casually chat to a friend this way. However, it is also lazier and rude to prefer to talk to someone on
your phone rather than meeting up, if you are able to, in my opinion. Social skills are important to
have and if you are not going to put effort into real-life communication, then you are not going to
progress in this ability.
Another point was that phones are very handy to look up something that you are wondering
about. For example, if you don’t know a word in another language, you can quickly and simply
access a translator to help you out. This can be very helpful in many situations, but it can also make
a person dependent on the internet to help with anything. This factor slightly takes away the
diversity of learning a language and conversing with people, as you are able to access everything
you need via the web.
All in all, this question is very interesting to consider for oneself as we become day by day more
dependent on technology. We should just be aware of how much we really need to be connected via
our phones while considering the benefits and damage it can cause us.
No. Statements T/F
1. Everything works at a slow pace nowadays.
2. We contact someone who lives very fat from us within seconds.
3. Phones may make us lazier and ruder in some way.
4. Phones are very inconvenient to look up something that you are
wondering about.
5. We can team a language with a smartphone.
Task 2. Complete the passage with the words from the box.
Read the passage and choose the best answer.
Hardware and software are two terms you’ve probably heard of at some point or another. The odds
are high that you use both on a daily basis, whether it’s with your smartphone or personal computer.
Let’s take a deeper look at what these two things are and why they’re important.
Hardware is any element of a computer that is physical. This includes things like monitors,
keyboards, and also the insides of devices, like microchips and hard drives. Software is anything that
tells hardware what to do and how to do it, including computer programs and apps on your phone.
Video games, photo editors, and web browsers are just a few examples.
Hardware and software are different from each other, but they also need one another in order to
function. The hardware would be the physical phone itself, and the software would be its operating
system and apps. If we were to take away the software, we would just have a dead phone in our
hands. It wouldn’t be able to make calls, text, or go online because it’s not receiving any instructions.
On the other hand, let’s say we have no hardware, meaning there’s no actual phone. If all we have
are the programs, we just have a bunch of instructions but nothing to give these instructions to.
Hardware needs software to tell it what to do, but software also needs hardware in order to act out its
directions. When you combine the two, you can do all sorts of things, whether you’re using a
smartphone, computer, or any other type of device.
Technology will continue to evolve. We may not be sure how it will look in 100 years, but hardware
and software will be there serving as its foundation.
1. The second paragraph is mainly about ______________.
A. the difference between hardware and software
B. some of the hardware and software of a computer

A. material B. natural C. logical D. mental
3. What does the author want to imply in the third and the fourth paragraphs?
A. Hardware and its operation system
B. Hardware and software work together
C. The superior role of software to its hardware
D. The way hardware and software function
4. Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A. Some of the hardware inside of a computer are microchips, hard drives, monitors, keyboards...
B. Video games, photo editors, and web browsers are not software.
C. When a smartphone is making a call, sending a message, or going online, that means it starts
receiving instructions from the user.
D. A smartphone, a computer, or a similar device must have a functioning software to operate.
5. We can learn from the passage that ______________.
A. if there were no software, there would be no hardware
B. if a hardware had no software, it could create one on its own
C. in 2100 humans will still be using technological devices which have both hardware and software
D. we will only use the technological devices that have both hardware and software in 100 years’
time

SMARTPHONE REVOLUTION
It was just over a decade ago when cell phones were primarily used for calling and sending texts.
Today, the uses of cell phones run the gamut. Phones do everything from taking high-resolution
pictures to watching pixel-perfect videos, browsing the Internet to playing graphic-intensive games
to monitoring your movements in addition to fulfilling basic communication needs.
The advent of smartphones has greatly simplified our lives. People now connect with their loved
ones more frequently and easily through video calls and instant messaging Services. Tasks, like
creating slides, reading emails, and creating documents don’t require a PC anymore. Brieflỵ,
smartphone and apps have changed the way we work, communicate and play.
While the smartphone revolution has made our lives easy, it has also made us lazy. Today, the whole
world is at our fingertips, and thus we don’t have to work or move around like we did previously to
get things done. Our inactive lifestyle and lack of physical activities can be partly attributed to the
over-dependence on smartphones. This is especially true for the younger generation, who are
constantly glued to their cell phones. Cell phone addiction is having a negative impact on our lives.
Care needs to be taken to deal with this issue in an effective way
Answer the questions.

The impact that technology has had on today’s schools has been quite significant.
This widespread adoption of technology has completely changed how teachers teach and
students learn. Teachers are learning how to teach with emerging technologies (tablets,
iPads, Smart Boards, digital cameras, computers), while students are using advanced
technology to shape the way they learn.
According to a study by IT Trade Association CompTIA, students prefer technology
because they believe that it makes learning more interesting and fun. They especially like
laptops and tablets. Subjects that students find challenging or boring can become more
interesting with virtual lessons, through a video, or when using a tablet. Results from
 another study even shows that technology indeed helps students remember what they learn.
In this study, eighteen 2nd grade students were challenged to complete a Power Point
project about an animal. Sixteen out of the eighteen students remembered more facts about
the animal after completing the presentation.

Read the following passage and choose the option (A, B, C or D) that best answers each of the
questions below.
As the name implies green technology is the one that has a "green" purpose. Green
inventions are environmentally friendly inventions that often involve: energy efficiency,
recycling, safety and health concerns, renewable resources, and more.
One of the best known examples of green technology would be the solar cell. A solar cell
directly converts the energy in light into electrical energy. Generating electricity from solar
energy means less consumption of fossil fuels, reducing pollution and greenhouse gas emissions.
Another simple invention that can be considered green is the reusable water bottle. Drinking lots
of water is healthy. Reducing plastic waste is great for the environment. Hence, trendy reusable
water bottles that you can refill yourself are health-promoting, eco-friendly, and green.
Inventors should know that green inventions and clean technologies are good business.
These are fast growing markets with growing profits. Consumers should know that buying green
inventions can reduce your energy bill and that green inventions are often safer and healthier
products.
