Exercise 5: Read the passages below and choose the best title for each passage.
1. __________ Millie is 14 years old and lives in Miami. She has 204 friends – and
she makes two or three more friends every week. About 20 of her friends also live
in Miami. Some go to the same school, and others go to the same music clubs and
sports centres. She often sees them. The others live in other cities and other
countries: England, Canada, and Japan … She never meets these friends, but she
talks to them on the Internet. They are her “My Space Friends”.
2. __________ Because of websites like MySpace, Yahoo 360 and Bebo, people
can make friends online. These websites are very popular all over the world,
especially with young people. Users have their homepage. They give information
about themselves. They write letters for their webpage, show photos and give
opinions. They write about their favourite films, music and TV programmes.
3. __________ For many young people, a good homepage is an important part of
their image. It says: “This is me! I have something to say. These things – and these
people – are important in my life.” And these websites are also an easy way to talk
to a lot of different people. That is why teenagers like these “friends” websites.
4. __________ But some people are worried that these websites aren’t safe. For
example, it is impossible to know that the information on a homepage is true.
Perhaps the 14-year-old girl you talk to online is really a 40-year-old man.
5.__________ So here is some advice. Keep your webpage private. (only friends
can see a private homepage). Do not put photos of yourself on your homepage. Do
not meet people that you only know because of the website. And finally, remember
that online friends are fun, but they are not the same as real friends.

Exercise 6: Choose the letter A, B, C or D to answer the following questions
 Telephones help people speak to one another when they are apart. For more
than a hundred years, nearly every telephone was a landline. A landline telephone
needs to be connected by a wire to a network of other telephones. Because of the
wires, people could not take those telephones with them when they left their homes
or offices.
What if you had to make a call while you were away from home? You had
to find a pay phone. Pay phones are landlines found in public places. Many pay
phones are on the street. You can make a call from inside a glass or metal space
called a phone booth. Once you are inside the booth, you put coins into a slot in the
phone to make a call.
Telephones have seen a lot of progress. Today, many people carry cell
phones. Cell phones do not need to be connected with wires. They can be used
almost anywhere and can fit in an adult’s hand.
Many cell phones sold today are smartphones. A smartphone is a cell phone
that has lots of computer-style features. For example, people use smartphones to
check e-mail and go on the Internet. And all that can be done using something
small enough to carry in a pocket!
