READING PRACTICE
You are going to read a piece of text. For questions 1 – 10, choose the correct answer which you think fits best according
to the text.

Social networking sites like Facebook, are internet sites which have been created to enable people to
communicate with their friends and family, and also to meet people who may be interested in the same things
as they are. Over the years, there have a few others, like Myspace, and Linkedin, some of which were very
popular but then lost their popularity. They were not intended for the same kinds of people, because Linkedin
was created for professional people to exchange information between themselves, while Myspace and
Facebook were more for social interaction, although the people using Facebook tend to be older than the people
who used Myspace. An interesting phenomenon is the influence the internet has had on the English Language,
by the creation of new verbs. Now you can “Google” something or “Facebook” your photos, which means upload
your photos to the internet. As you “google” somebody to see who they are, you can also “facebook” somebody
to see who their friends are, and whether you have any friends in common, or ask to “Facebook” someone,
which means ask for permission to add them to your list of friends. Both Facebook and Myspace have become
very versatile words, unlike Linkedin which has not yet become a verb in this way. Another addition to the
language is the distortion of existing words. So while you are “facebooking” or “myspacing” you may also find
yourself “commenting”, which means writing a comment on someone’s Facebook or Myspace page. This, of
course, is very normal, because language is really a living thing, in that it reflects what people are doing and
saying at any given time.
Questions:
1. Myspace users are usually younger than Facebook users.
A. Right. B. Wrong C. Doesn’t say.
2. The people who join Linkedin have good jobs.
A. Right. B. Wrong C. Doesn’t say.
3. The language has benefitted from the new words like adjectives and verbs which these new sites have given.
A. Right. B. Wrong C. Doesn’t say.
4. The word “Myspace” is less versatile than the word “Facebook”.
A. Right. B. Wrong C. Doesn’t say.
5. Linkedin has contributed new words to the English Language.
A. Right. B. Wrong C. Doesn’t say.
6. “to comment” in the language of the internet means to leave a message for someone on their site.
A. Right. B. Wrong C. Doesn’t say.
7. Facebook can be used for different things.
A. Right. B. Wrong C. Doesn’t say.
8. These new words have been in use for ten years.
A. Right. B. Wrong C. Doesn’t say.
9. The word “facebook” has various uses.
A. Right. B. Wrong C. Doesn’t say.
10. You cannot add anyone’s name to your facebook page without their authorization.
A. Right. B. Wrong C. Doesn’t say.

Kodak Pays the Price

Jenny Jordan has mixed feelings. She is still very angry buy satisfied because she feels she has got justice. She
had gone to China on a one-in-a-lifetime visit, and had had a marvelous time. She kept a diary of everything and
took loads of pictures to support her diary entries. When she got back to Harpenden where she lived, she
decided to give her precious films to her local Kodak shop for developing. She gave them one at a time because
it would be easier to build up her diary in stages rather than having to sort out all the photos together. She was
really glad that she did that because she was soon informed that Kodak had lost her film. Luckily she still had
the others. They even had the cheek to offer her free film as compensation, and Jenny was furious. She wrote
them a very strong letter, telling them of her intention to go to court. They wrote back and offered her £20, but
she replied that the lowest figure she would accept was £75. Even then she would prefer her pictures, and when
the company refused to pay she was set to go to court over the issue., then fortunately, before the matter went
to court, Kodak decided to pay the £75, which shows what can be done if you make the effort to complain to a
firm or manufacturer and insist on getting fair treatment.
