Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each
of the questions that follow.
Fathers used to act as the ‘breadwinner' of their family, and as the teacher of moral and religious
values. Today, however, those roles are gradually changing.
More and more women are going out to work and earn money. This increases the budget of the
family. Apart from that, there are various social welfare programmes which financially assist mothers in
supporting their children. Both these changes have greatly impacted the role of fathers because they make
paternal financial support less essential for many families.
With the burden of financial support reduced, and with a changing concept of a father's role,
modern day fathers tend to be more involved in children's caregiving. They are now spending more time
and energy on their children.
Psychological research across families from all ethnic backgrounds suggests that the influence of
a father's love and attention is as great as that of a mother's. Fatherly love helps children develop a sense
of their place in the world, which helps their social and emotional development. Moreover, children
who receive more love from their fathers are less likely to have behavioral problems.
This trend is still increasing and its effects will become clearer and clearer in the future,
especially in traditionally male-dominated societies.

When your mobile phone runs out of battery power, all you have to do to get it working again is to
charge it up. Imagine if you could do the same thing with your car. Researchers at car companies are
developing cars that plug into electric sockets. These vehicles might become the cars of the future.
The cars are called plug-in hybrids and they get most of their power from electricity, just like other
electrical devices like mobile phones and laptops. This technology would significantly reduce the amount
of petrol that people use. For countries that depend on other oil producing countries for their petrol supply
this could be a great advantage.
Presently, most cars use petrol. Unfortunately, burning fossil fuels produces carbon dioxide gas, and
when a large amount of this gas and other greenhouse gases are trapped in the Earth's atmosphere, they
cause global warming. Hybrid vehicles have already been developed and are being driven. These cars get
their power from both petrol and electricity; they are able to travel longer distances with less petrol. Plug-
in hybrids will be even more advanced as they are designed to be powered mainly by electricity and use
only a small amount of petrol. It might be some time before the cars will become available to the public
but if they do, it will be a major breakthrough for transport.

as a huge surprise when one day, without warning I was made redundant. In fact, most of the people in
my department lost their jobs that day. When the personnel manager gave me the bad news, she explained
that the company had been taken over by a big multinational corporation that was demanding a lot of
changes.
So, one day I was in a comfortable job with a generous salary and plenty of annual leave and the
next day I was unemployed. While it was nice to have time on my hands, I knew I would have to find a
job fairly quickly. I soon found out that it wasn't so easy. No one was taking on new staff. Every morning
I searched the Classified Ads, but there was nothing suitable, not even part-time positions.
Finally, a friend asked me if I was interested in helping out in her new cake shop. She needed
somebody to deal with customers and to help her with the cake designs. At first, she could only pay me
by the hour at rather a low hourly rate. To my surprise, I love the work.
I've been a cake designer for three years now. I'm so glad I didn't turn down my friend's job offer.
We have so much work and now I'm no longer an employee. My friend and I are now partners in the best
cake shop in town.
