indicate the correct answer
Will people still read books 100 years from now? A few years ago, many people would have
said no. It seemed likely that computers and the Internet would replace books. Now, however, most
experts think that books are here to stay.
There are a number of reasons why computers will not replace books entirely. One
reason is that books on paper are much cheaper than computers. And books do not need a
power source. You can read a book for as long as you want and wherever you want. You never
have to worry about losing power. Also, many people feel more comfortable reading words in a
book than reading words on a computer screen because it is less tiring to the eyes.
Will books in the future be exactly the same as the books you can buy today? The answer
to that question is no. In the future, you may only need to buy one book. With this one book,
you will be able to read novels, plays, and newspapers. It will look like today's books, but it
will be electronic.
One of the people working on the book of the future is Professor Joseph Jacobson from
Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Professor Jacobson's electronic book will have a small
button on the side. When you press the button, words will instantly appear on the page. When
you want to read a different story, you can push the button again and a new story will quickly
appear.
Câu 30. The phrase “are here to stay” in the first paragraph mostly means ______.
A. “are useless” B. “won’t come” C. “are nearby” D. “won't disappear”
Câu 31. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Books will disappear completely sooner or later.
B. In the future, computers will replace paper books completely.
C. Reading words on computer screens is tiring to the eyes.
D. Reading today’s books needs a power source.
Câu 32. What will the book of the future look like?
A. It will look like a book you buy today.
B. It will look different from today's books.
C. We don't know what it will look like.
D. It will look like a computer.
Câu 33. The button on the side of the electronic book is used ______.
A. to turn a light on and off B. to make the book more beautiful
C. to turn the power on and off D. to change what you read

indicate the correct answer to each of the questions
You might be surprised to know that bicycles have existed for less than two hundred years.
Though the earliest comes from a sketch said to be from 1534 and attributed to Gian Giacomo,
there are several early but unverified claims for the invention of the modern bicycle. No one is
sure who invented this popular two- wheeled machine, but it was probably either the German
Karl von Drais, in 1817, or the American W K Clarkson, in The early models didn't look much
like the bicycles of today. The front wheel was much bigger than the back one, and also there
weren't any pedals – riders had to move themselves forward by pushing their feet against the
ground. Pedals finally arrived in the 1840s, and in 1879 an Englishman named Henry Lawson
had the idea of connecting them to the back wheel with a chain. Gears, which made things
much easier for those cycling uphill, first appeared in the 1890s. There are now approximately
one billion bicycles in the world – more than twice the total number of cars – and they are the
main form of transport in some developing countries. They have to compete with cars on the
streets of all the world’s cities, and the two forms of transport don't always mix well. In London
in 2005, for example, over 300 cyclists were either killed or seriously injured in accidents
involving cars. Even though bicycles are much more environmentally friendly than cars, most
governments don't do much to encourage people to ride rather than drive. In China, which is
famous for having a huge number of bicycles (about 200 million), the authorities in the city of
Shanghai even banned cycling for a while in Cycling is on the rise is the United Kingdom, and
the number of annual journeys made by bike in London has increased 50% over the last five
years. Experts say there is a mixture of reasons for this boom: concerns about the environment,
the desire to keep fit, and also the fact that cycling is often not only cheaper but also quicker
than travelling by car. However, although one in three British adults owns a bicycle, they still
don't use them nearly as much as they could. Bikes are used for a mere 2% of journeys in the
UK, while the figure for the Netherlands is an impressive 27%. Cycling is becoming more
popular as a competitive sport, and the most famous race is of course the three-week Tour de
France, which takes place every July. American Lance Armstrong won it every year from 1999
to 2005 – one of the greatest individual sporting achievements of all time.
