READING COMPREHENSION
Choose the word or phrase among A, B, C or D that best fits the blank space in the following
passage.
What are the basic skills that (31)________ child starting school should learn? For many
centuries the obvious answer was: reading, writing and arithmetic. Quite recently computer
classes (ICT) have been made an obligatory part of national curriculums to teach students how
to use basic programmes. These days, (32)________, more and more countries are starting to
realise that to succeed in the twenty-first century pupils should be able to create their own
software.

In fact, some schools in the UK are planning to get rid of ICT lessons and replace them
(33)________ programming classes that would involve building websites, designing games and
mobile phone apps. They hope that today’s generation of children, who are already familiar with
using smartphones and practically living in the world of social media, will soon become the
designers of the future.

Education authorities have no problem convincing students’ parents that (34)________ skills are
important. A recent survey shows that 94 percent of them believe that computer skills are
(35)________ for the job market. Examples of British teenagers who have managed to sell their
apps to big corporations also help make the decision easy. After all, who wouldn’t want their
child to become a millionaire?

31. A. some B. all C. any D. many

32.A. although B. however C. despite D. therefore
33.A. for B. with C. from D. to
34.A. so B. such C. this D. some
35.A. essential B. unnecessary C. modern D. new

Read the text and decide if the following statements are true or false.
Surveys show that kids are addicted to their smart phones and other mobile devices. So if it
seems as if teenagers are spending a lot of time connected to their screens, that's because they
are. About a quarter of their day to be exact.

The average teen between 13 and 18 spends about nine hours a day consuming media - and that
is outside of their school and homework. Kids aged 8 to 12, or teens, are spending about six
hours in front of the screens. They are watching shows, playing games, connecting on social
media and listening to music - sometimes all at the same time.

Multitasking is the new normal when it comes to homework time. Most teens listen to music
while doing their homework, but many also watch TV (51%) and text (60%). Being asked
teenagers say they don't think it is a problem and don't believe it has any impact on the quality of
their work.

However, there is evidence that suggests multitasking makes it harder to retain information and
that you might perform more poorly on the tasks you are doing.

Another fact surveys find is that it seems kids spend more time consuming media than
connecting with their parents and even their teachers.

36. Surveys show that people are addicted to their smartphones and other mobile devices.
37. The average teen between 13 and 18 spends about 8 hours a day consuming media
38. Kids aged 8 to 12, or teens, are spending about 6 hours in front of the screens.
39. Most teens watch TV while doing their homework.
40. There is evidence that suggests multitasking makes it easier to retain information.

41. I sat down to read a magazine and Dylan came in.
While I ___________________________________________________________________

42. Jane tries not to watch Tommy race in competitions because she gets nervous.
Jane avoids ________________________________________________________________

43. Mary would like to play golf, but she hasn’t got enough money to buy all the equipment.

Woman: Yes, I’m going camping and I need something to keep the insects away.
Store clerk: How about these? They’re new. They’re insect guards.
Woman: Really? I’ve never seen anything like them before.
Store clerk: You can use them to keep insects off you – flies, mosquitoes, any insect.
Woman: These will keep insects off me? How?
Store clerk: They cover you, you know, like a net. They’re very light and easy to use. You put
one on each hand, each foot, and over your head. The insects can’t bite you.
Woman: Right. Actually, I think I just want some bug spray.
Conversation 2
Man: What’s this?
Woman: It’s an electric spaghetti fork.

made of cloth so it’s easy to carry.
Man: I don’t get it.

bars. It makes a little scat.
