READING
10 Read three texts. Choose the correct
answer, A, B or C for each text.
MOBILE TECHNOLOGY
I remember my first mobile phone. It was huge,
but the screen was quite small when you think
about the smartphones of today. I could only
use it for calls and messages. At the time,
however, it looked so great to me. Can you
imagine how it changed people’s lives?
Suddenly, with this useful little invention,
communication was so easy. Now we have
smartphones with digital cameras and Internet.
Mobile technology is always getting better. I
wonder what the next generation of mobile
phones will be like.
1 The author of the text is considering
A why phone technology is important.
B how good new mobile phones are.

THE SCIENCE OF THE STARS
On a clear night, you can see the Moon and
stars. How many are there? We don’t know.
Where does space end? Does it end? We don’t
know. Astronomers, however, are looking for
answers to these important questions that affect
us all. They observe the sky and analyse their
data. They discover new stars and planets.
They also develop theories to explain what
space is and Earth’s place in it. For these
reasons, astronomy is one of the most
interesting sciences in the world. But why are
there so few astronomers? Why aren’t young
people keen on learning about it?

A the science of astronomy.
