PART VIII: READING COMPREHENSION
Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the
questions.
Text 1:
Try to imagine what life would be like if there were no electric lights, no television, or no cars. What if
you had no running water to take a shower and no refrigerator to keep your food cold? Life would be tough
without these great inventions.
Since ancient times, people have been inventing new machines, materials, and ways of doing things. The
people who come up with new things are called inventors. Sometimes an inventor makes an invention to solve a
problem. Sometimes an inventor discovers something new by accident.
Everyone probably has his or her favorite inventions. One great invention was the printing press. A
German named Johannes Gutenberg in the 1400s invented a press that made it easy to print books. Books became
much more common after the invention of the printing press. The books helped other inventors make new things.
The invention of the steam engine around 1700 led to the Industrial Revolution. Inventors made many new
machines that were powered by steam engines. They invented locomotives, steamboats, and all kinds of factory machines.
Another great invention, the internal combustion engine, led to the invention of automobiles in the late
1800s. Inventors made better and better internal combustion engines. These are the engines we use today in cars,
trucks, buses, and airplanes.
The discovery of electricity led to many wonderful inventions. Many scientists studied electricity. An
American inventor named Thomas A. Edison invented the electric lamp, phonograph, and other things that ran
on electricity in the late 1800s.
New things are invented today faster than ever before. Inventors are making new kitchen appliances, toys,

Twenty years ago, the typical extended family was 'wide'. It usually consisted of two or three generations,
with several children in each ‘nuclear family. People had lots of aunts and uncles but often didn't know their
grandparents. However, according to a new study by the British research group Mintel, the British family is
changing shape. The family groups of the future will be 'long and thin', with three or four 'small’ generations in.
Below are some of their predictions:
1. Most children will know their great-grandparents and even great-great grandparents) because people
are living longer.

future generations will not have many cousins either.
3. Many children will grow up isolated from other children and young adults. This will make them more
selfish and introverted.
4. More couples will divorce and re-marry, some more than once. They may have children with their new
partners; so many children will have a stepmother or stepfather and half-brothers or sisters
5. There will be many 'boomerang children'. These are children who leave home to get married, but then
divorce and return to live with their parents.
