Scientists have dreamed for a long time about building a ‘flying train’ which can float through the
air above the tracks. With Maglev technology, their dreams are now a reality. Maglev trains have no
wheels. Instead, powerful magnets lift them into the air and push them forward, at speeds of up to
500 km per hour.
As well as speed, Maglev has a number of advantages over other transport systems. The trains are
quieter and the journey is smoother because they don’t have wheels. They are also greener because
they don’t use fuel and so create less pollution. Right now there is only one high-speed Maglev train
system in the world. It carries passengers from Shanghai city centre to the airport. However, work has
started on a new, longer Maglev track in Japan. Trains will go from Tokyo to Nagoya in 40 minutes.
But don’t expect to ride on it on your next trip to Japan. It won’t open until 2027! Then, in 2045, the
line will extend to Osaka.
There is one major problem with Maglev technology: it is incredibly expensive to build the tracks.
Transport planners predict that the Tokyo to Osaka line will cost 91 billion dollars. The high cost
means that Maglev technology probably won’t replace other forms of transport in the near future.
However, the technology is still in development and somebody might find a cheaper and simpler way
to build the tracks. And then, who knows? In the future, some of us might fly to work by train.

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.

British family values have evolved significantly over the past century, reflecting changes
in society, culture, and the economy. Traditionally, British families were often large, with
multiple generations living under one roof, and the father was typically the primary
breadwinner while the mother took care of the home and children.
However, modern British families come in all shapes and sizes, including single-parent
families, blended families, and childless couples.
A core value that remains strong in British families is the importance of quality time spent
together. Many families make it a point to have meals together, go on outings, or engage in
recreational activities during weekends and holidays. Celebrations such as Christmas, Easter,
and birthdays are significant events that bring families together, reinforcing their bonds and
traditions.
Respect for individuality and personal space is another crucial aspect of British family
values. While togetherness is encouraged, it's equally important for family members to respect
each other's privacy and personal time. This balance helps maintain harmony and
understanding within the household.
Education and self-improvement are highly valued in British families. Parents often
emphasize the importance of education and encourage their children to pursue higher studies
and personal development. This focus on education is seen as a means to secure a better future
and enhance one's quality of life.
Moreover, British families are increasingly supportive of gender equality and shared
responsibilities. It is now common for both parents to work and share household chores and
childcare duties. This shift reflects broader societal changes towards more equal and inclusive
family dynamics.
As British family values continue to evolve, the underlying principles of love, respect, and
support remain constant. These values not only shape the family unit but also contribute to the
broader community and societal well-being.
