shake. As a result, small fires broke out everywhere and quickly spread. The fire engines were

Telephones help people speak to one another when they are apart. For more than a hundred years,
nearly every telephone was a landline. A landline telephone is one that needs to be connected by a wire
to a network of other telephones. Because of the wires, people could not take those telephones with
them when they left their homes or offices.
What if you had to make a call while you were away from home? You had to find a pay phone. Pay
phones are landlines found in public places. Many pay phones are on the street. You can make a call
from inside a glass or metal space called a phone booth. Once you are inside the booth, you put coins
into a slot in the phone to make a call.
Telephones have seen a lot of progress. Today, many people carry cell phones. Cell phones do not need
to be connected with wires. They can be used almost anywhere and can fit in an adult's hand.
Many cell phones sold today are smart phones. A smart phone is a cell phone that has lots of computer-
style features. For example, people use smart phones to check e-mail and go on the Internet. And all
that can be done using something small enough to carry in a pocket!

VII. Read the passage and choose the correct answer.
Every year, the average temperature of the Earth's surface gets a little bit warmer. This gradual trend is
called global warming. Warmer weather may sound nice, but global warming is something to be very
concerned about.
Scientists are worried that continued warmer temperatures could damage the environment in many
devastating ways. Rising temperatures might cause plants and animals to become extinct. They could
melt enough polar ice to cause the levels of the sea to rise. Weather patterns could also change. There
might be more droughts or serious storms with flooding. In some areas, human diseases could spread.
What is causing global warming? Humans are mostly to blame. Pollution from factories and cars add
toxic gases to the air. These gases rise to the Earth's atmosphere. As the sun’s rays warm the Earth, the
gases work much like the glass in a greenhouse. They help trap the heat in the atmosphere and make
the Earth grow warmer. That is why they are nicknamed “greenhouse gases.”
It is our responsibility to take care of our planet. Global warming is a serious problem with serious
consequences. If we want future generations to enjoy their time on Earth, we must act now!

How Did English Spread Throughout the World?
The arrival of the Anglo-Saxons in Britain is usually considered the beginning of the English
language’s spread. The language changed when Norse invaders brought several new words, which
were added into daily speech. English began to borrow some words from French and Latin.
During the Medieval period, English started to become more standardized. As London grew, other
dialects of English began to fade or merge into what we think of as English today. The British Empire
is typically considered the next major phase of English’s spread. As England invaded regions around
the world and established colonies, it brought English with it.
Today, English is the third most common primary language in the world, right behind Mandarin
Chinese and Spanish. Over one billion people across the world speak English, though only around 380
million speak it as their first language. It is one of the most commonly studied languages and is
sometimes called a global language because it is used for international organizations. Pilots are
required to communicate in English for international flights, and organizations such as the United
Nations and the European Union list English as an official working language. This is partly because so
many countries speak English or recognize it as an official language.
26. Norse invaders made the beginning of the English language’s spread.
27. English has started to become more standardized since the Medieval period.
