Have you ever felt that there aren't enough hours in the day? These days we have to do our jobs, look after
our homes, save energy to help the environment, and do exercise to stay healthy! Like many of us, Alex Gadsden
never had enough time. He ran a business and a home and needed to lose weight. So he decided to do something about
it. He invented the cycle washer. The 29-year-old now starts each day with a 45-minute cycle ride. He not only feels
healthier but he saves on his energy bills and does the washing too.
He said, "It gives the user a good workout. I've only used it for two weeks but I've already noticed a
difference." "I tend to get up at around six-thirty now and get straight on the cycle washer. I keep it in the garden, so
it's nice to get out in the fresh air. Afterwards, I feel full of energy. Then I generally have breakfast and a shower and I
really feel ready to start the day." The green washing machine uses 25 litres of water a wash, and takes enough clothes
to fill a carrier bag. He normally cycles for 25 minutes to wash the clothes, and then for another 20 minutes to dry
them. And it doesn't use any electricity, of course. Mr Gadsden, the boss of a cleaning company, believes his machine
could become very popular. With an invention which cleans your clothes, keeps you fit and reduces your electricity
bill, he may well be right.
Question 29: What is the passage mainly about?
A. The importance of daily exercise B. Ways to do the washing properly
C. Cycling makes you healthier D. A fascinating invention
Question 30: The word “ran” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to______.
A. moved B. allowed C. managed D. changed
Question 31: According to paragraph 1, what does Alex Gadsden achieve with the invention of the cycle washer?
3
 A. His electricity bills are reduced. B. He puts on weight.
C. He helps his wife with the washing-up. D. He becomes more involved in recycling.
Question 32: The word “it” in paragraph 2 refers to_______.
A. difference B. the cycle washer C. the fresh air D. workout
Question 33: Which of the following is NOT true, according to the passage?
A. Alex Gadsden is positive about the success of the cycle washer.
B. The cycle washer can help you to remain strong and healthy.
C. It doesn't require any electricity to run the cycle washer.
D. Alex's machine isn't effective in terms of cleaning the clothes.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to
each of the questions from 34 to 40.
Los Angeles dancer, Brian Perez, was eating out with his friends one evening when suddenly everyone went
quiet. To his horror, he saw that the reason for this was that people were checking their phones. Realising he had to do
something to stop this, Brian made a rather daring suggestion. What if they all put their gadgets in a pile in the middle
of the table until they had finished the meal? If anyone picked up their phone, that person would have to pay the whole
bill. And so, it is said, the game of 'phone stacking' was born.
The necessity for action like this highlights a major problem in today's society: our inability to disconnect
from technology. But while Brian's idea deals with the obsession in a social context, measures also need to be taken at
home. Some people drop their smartphones into a box the moment they arrive home, which gives them the chance to
interact with the people they live with. The fact that the phone cannot be heard - it is on silent - nor seen - the flashing
lights are hidden by the box - means that they are no longer tempted to use it.
A less drastic solution is to ban electronic devices at certain times of day when the whole family is likely to
be together, for example at meal times. This can be hard for everyone, from teenagers desperate to text friends to
parents unable to switch off from work. On a normal day, however, dinner takes less than an hour, and the benefits of
exchanging opinions and anecdotes with the rest of the family certainly makes up for the time spent offline.
Taking a break from technology is one thing, but knowing when to turn off a device is another. Time seems
to stand still in the virtual world, and before you know it, you find that it is three o'clock in the morning. This is where
a digital curfew comes in handy, a set time when all devices must be put away. Evenings without technology are
usually nice and peaceful and make a more agreeable end to the day. And then it's time for bed. One of the best ways
of ensuring you can sleep at night is to ban electronic devices altogether from the bedroom. Lying next to a machine
bursting with information is far from relaxing, and the sounds it emits during the night can easily wake you up. With
technology out of the room, a line has been drawn between daytime and sleep time, which enables us to switch off
ourselves and drift off to sleep.
Question 34: Which best serves as the title for the passage?
A. Dependence on Technology: Time for Change! B. Getting Rid of Your Mobiles: For Better or Worse?
C. Shocking News: Technology Shapes Our Mind! D. Addiction to Technology: Storm in a Teacup
Question 35: According to paragraph 1, Brian Perez was shocked to find that_______.
A. people were willing to remove all their gadgets B. the prices for food were too expensive
C. people were glued to their phones D. everyone seemed quiet by nature
Question 36: The word “highlights” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to______.
A. tackles B. expects C. proposes D. emphasizes
Question 37: The word “it” in paragraph 2 refers to________.
A. fact B. phone C. light D. box
Question 38: The word “ban” in paragraph 3 is opposite in meaning to ______.
A. allow B. forbid C. prohibit D. prevent
Question 39: Which of the following statements is true, according to the passage?
A. People choose not to use their phones at home so that they can talk to other members.
B. Meal times are the most suitable for the whole family to use phones together.
C. Teenagers can find it easier to turn off their phones compared to their parents.
D. Brian's idea is not new in terms of making people less dependent on technology.
Question 40: Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?
A. Having a conversation at dinner definitely strengthens the bonds among family members.
B. Using electronic gadgets at bedtime is likely to deprive yourself of having a good sleep.
C. People are more pleasant to talk with when they use technology in the evenings.
D. The line between daytime and sleep time has become increasingly blurred.
