In the 15th century, books were very expensive to make and difficult to find. The books were expensive
because they took a long time to make. Special workers used pens and pencils to write them on paper made from
animal skin. In about 1450, a German man named Johannes Gutenberg had an excellent idea for a machine. This
machine could make thousands of books very quickly and very cheaply. He called his machine a printing press. The
printing press used metal letters, ink, and paper. This paper was not made from animal skin. It was made from a
plant called flax. Many people in 15th-century Europe couldn’t read or write. Most people didn’t go to school, and
most never saw a book. They didn’t need to read because they worked on farms and learned how to do their jobs
from other people. But Gutenberg’s new machine changed people’s lives. By the year 1500, many cities in Europe
had a printing press. These presses were printing thousands of books. Books became cheaper to buy and easier to

New research shows that people who read a lot live longer. The study was carried -----31 by researchers
from Yale University in the USA. The researchers said reading keeps the mind active, helps -----32 stress and makes
us take better care of our health. The researchers said that books help the brain more than newspapers and
magazines, but any kind of reading will help us to live longer. Even reading for half an hour a day could help us to live
longer. In the study, researchers looked at the lifestyles of 3,500 men and women over a 12-year period. They looked
at their reading habits, health, lifestyles and their education. All of the people were -----33 least 50 years old at
the start
of the research.
The study is in the journal 'Social Science and Medicine'. It found that people who read for up to 3.5 hours a
week were 17 per cent less likely to die during the study’s 12-year research period than those who read no books.
Those who read for more than 3.5 hours a week were 23 per cent less likely to die. Researcher Becca Levy said:
"Older individuals, regardless of gender, health, wealth or education, showed the survival advantage of reading
books." She suggested people swap watching TV for reading to live longer. She said: "Individuals over the age of 65
spend an average of 4.4 hours per day -----34----- television. Efforts to redirect leisure time into reading books could
---35-----
to be beneficial."

The ability to think is what makes man different from other living things. Thanks to this, the quality of life has
changed greatly throughout history. It is certain that it will change notably in the future.
Progress in technology and science has given man control over many different things. By making canals, building
artificial lakes and dams for example, man tries to govern nature. The use of technology and science sometimes fails
to protect man from the destructive forces of nature. Unfortunately, millions of people in many parts of the world
are under the threat of earthquakes, hurricanes, volcanic eruptions and floods.
Today, most people have some information about volcanoes, why and how they erupt. Volcanoes are hills or
mountains with craters. These come from inside the earth. Although man has developed many useful devices for
different purposes, seismic instruments cannot tell when a volcanic eruption is going to take place.
People have witnessed many volcanic eruptions. A very harmful one happened at Krakatoa in Java in 1883.
People who were living as far as five thousand kilometers from the mountain heard the noise of this frightful
disaster. More than 25 000 people died during this eruption. In addition, many ships sank because of its effects on
the sea in the Sund Strait.
Earthquakes are another type of catastrophe occurring all over the world. At any time you may hear news
about earthquakes with a lot of energy and power or with small tremors that are seldom felt. Huge waves in the
ocean can be caused by a kind of underwater earthquake. In deep waters it is sometimes hard to see the enormous
waves, but when they reach the coast they grow into large walls of water. In 1946, such an earthquake took place in
the North Pacific and the effects of the waves were felt over three thousand kilometers away in Hawaii.

36. According to the passage many changes in the quality of human life are because of___________.

a) happened in Hawaii in 1946 b) caused the sinking of many ships because of stones
 c) led to the death of hundreds of people d) took place in Krakatoa in 1883
e) was felt from a hundred kilometers away

39. Why can underwater earthquakes be dangerous and harmful?

a) They cause huge waves. b) They change the formations of islands.
c) They change the straits of oceans. d) They happen only in deep water.
e) They are very hot.

40. Earthquakes are considered as catastrophes because___________.

a) they may cause floods b) thousands of them are reported in a year

Everything in line with rapidly developing technologies is now changing in the world. As such, economy is no
exception to this transformation. Economic dynamics have decisively shifted from the national economy to the world
economy. From now on, any country – and also any business, especially a large one – that wants to prosper will have
to accept that it is the world economy that leads and that domestic economic policies will succeed only if they
strengthen or at least do not impair the country’s international competitive position. This may be the most
important
– it surely is the most striking – feature of the changed world economy. Thus, state governments are supposed to
render the due importance to their financial policies so as not to fall behind the competition in the world economic
markets. Or else, it could be a matter of time for such failing economic programs to eat up the gains achieved in the
former periods of economic plans.

41. According to the passage, _ _ _ _ _ _ _

a) developing technologies should lead the way of domestic economy into the foreign markets.
b) economy falls behind the transformation, as it is in the hands of the government.
c) economy, in general, is certain to be affected by the technological transformations taking place in the world.

a) governments are assumed to take the control of all economic dynamics in domestic markets.
b) financial planning must be carried out in cooperation with global economic driving forces.
c) it is primarily the responsibility of governments to adapt their planning to survive in global markets.
d) private enterprises must be given some of the state authority in their international dealings.
e) former periods of economy should have been better exploited to compensate for the present time losses.

43. The writer explains that one significant development in economy has been _ _ _ _ _ _ _
a) the stress on the importance of domestic economic policies.
b) the growing importance of national economic policies.
c) a keener competition between domestic and international companies.
d) that national economies are now closely interrelated with the world economy.
e) the decline of competition in home markets.

44. According to the passage, for a country to achieve economic prosperity, it _ _ _ _ _ _ _

a) has to encourage and support big corporations.
b) must protect itself from new dynamics in domestic economy.
c) has to think and plan in terms of world economy.
