Read the text and choose the best answer.
Each nation has many people who voluntarily take care of others. For example, many high school and college students in the
United States often spend many hours as volunteers in hospitals, orphanages or homes for the aged. They read books to the
people in these places. Sometimes the students just visit them, play games with them or listen to their problems.
Other young volunteers work in the homes of sick or old people. They clean up their houses, do their shopping or mow their
lawns. For boys who no longer have fathers, there is a voluntary organization called Big Brothers. College students take these
boys to baseball games and help them to get to know things that boys usually learn from their fathers.
Some high school students take part in helping disadvantaged or handicapped children. They give care and comfort to them
and help them to overcome their difficulties. Young college and university students participate in helping the people who
have suffered badly in wars or natural disasters. During summer vacations, they volunteer to work in remote or mountainous
areas to provide education for children.
Each city has a number of clubs where boys and girls can go to play games. Some of these clubs organise short trips to the
mountains, beaches or other places of interest. Most of these clubs use a lot of high schools and college students as volunteers

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

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.
