The butcher shop


Butcher shops sell all kinds of meat. They usually employ people who are trained in the meat
industry. They know how to cut the meat the right way, and they often advise customers on the
different types of meat. However, it is hard nowadays to find a traditional butcher shop. More
people are buying meat from large supermarkets because it is more convenient, and the price is
lower.
The bookshop
Bookshops are becoming quite rare these days. Years ago, it was easy to find bookshops in any
town or city. Then, larger bookshop chains gradually took over and the smaller shops died out.
Two examples of large bookshop chains are Waterstones in the UK and the Barnes & Noble in the
USA. But now, even the large bookshop chains are facing difficulty because more people are
buying books from Amazon as well as digital books.
1. People working in a butcher shop are quite professional.
2. Meat at a butcher shop is usually cheaper than in a supermarket.
3. In the past, there were bookshops in most towns and cities.
4. Nowadays, paper books have to compete with digital books.
5. The passage is about changes in some speciality shops.

EX IV. Read the passage about life on other planets and choose the correct answer A, B, C,
or D to each of the questions.
Most scientists believe that for another planet to have life on it, it must be similar to Earth in
several ways. It is likely to need an atmosphere (air) and water. It also must orbit a star, like the
Sun, at a good distance. This star would provide the right amount of light and heat for life to exist.
Scientists have studied planets and moons in our solar system to see if they can support life. Space
probes have searched for traces of bacteria or other tiny living things on Mars. Some scientists are
also looking for the possibility of life outside our solar system. Using radio telescopes, they hope
to capture signals from intelligent aliens.
So far, no evidence of extraterrestrial life has been found. However, scientists have discovered
hundreds of planets that orbit distant stars. Some of these planets are an ideal distance from their
stars, and some are roughly the size of Earth. It may be possible that life has developed on one or
more of them.
1. The best title for the passage could be ______.
A. "The Search for Alien Life"
B. "The Search for a New Planet"

C. in our solar systems
D. at a good distance from Earth
3. The phrase "Space probes" most likely means ______.

B. "spacecraft that collect information about the conditions of the Sun"
C. "vehicles that travel in space, carrying people"
D. "spacecraft without people on them that collect information about a planet"
4. The scientists use radio telescopes in order to ______.
A. search for traces of bacteria or other tiny living things
B. catch signals from creatures on other planets
C. search for planets that are an ideal distance from their suns
D. discover planets that are roughly the size of Earth
5. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

C. Scientists have looked at the possibility of life only in our solar system.

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 show that technology indeed helps students remember what they learn. In
this study, eighteen 2nd-grade students were challenged to complete a PowerPoint project about an animal.
Sixteen out of the eighteen students remembered more facts about the animal after completing the presentation.

New research suggests that people who live close to the ocean or sea are happier. Researchers from the
University of Exeter in the UK say people who live in coastal areas have better mental health than people who
live inland. This is for rich people and poor people. The researchers looked at data from surveys of 25,963
people. The surveys asked people questions about their happiness, lifestyle and income. The researchers found
that those who live within one kilometer of the coast are 22 per cent less likely to show any signs of mental
health problems. People who lived more than 50 kilometers from the coast had more symptoms of mental health
problems. They found that poorer people living within sight of the coast were around 40 per cent less likely to
have mental health symptoms than those who lived inland.

II. Read the text. Then answer the questions (1.0 point)
HOGMANAY
In Scotland, the biggest celebration of the year is 'Hogmanay'. Hogmanay is the Scottish word for New
Year's Eve. On 31st December in Edinburgh, there is an enormous firework display at the castle, and they play
live music in the park. Thousands of people gather in the streets, cafes and bars. Then, at 12 o'clock, church
bells ring all over the city. After midnight, people go 'first footing'. This is a Scottish custom that dates back
hundreds of years. First footing is visiting your neighbours after midnight on New Year's Eve. The visitors must
step into the house with their right foot first, to bring good luck. Traditionally the visitors bring three gifts: a
piece of coal, a piece of 'shortbread' (Scottish biscuit) and a little whisky. The gifts symbolize warmth, food and
happiness. If the first person who visits your home after midnight is a man with dark hair, that is particularly
lucky!
