Have you ever felt that there aren't enough hours in the day? These days we have to do our
jobs, look after our homes, save energy to help the environment, and do exercise to stay healthy!
Like many of us, Alex Gadsden never had enough time. He ran a business and a home and needed
to lose weight. So he decided to do something about it. He invented the cycle washer. The 29-yearold now starts each day with a 45-minute cycle ride. He not only feels healthier but he saves on his
energy bills and does the washing too.
He said, "It gives the user a good workout. I've only used it for two weeks but I've already
noticed a difference." "I tend to get up at around six-thirty now and get straight on the cycle washer.
I keep it in the garden, so it's nice to get out in the fresh air. Afterwards, I feel full of energy. Then
I generally have breakfast and a shower and I really feel ready to start the day." The green washing
machine uses 25 litres of water a wash, and takes enough clothes to fill a carrier bag. He normally
cycles for 25 minutes to wash the clothes, and then for another 20 minutes to dry them. And it

doesn't use any electricity, of course. Mr Gadsden, the boss of a cleaning company, believes his
machine could become very popular. With an invention which cleans your clothes, keeps you fit
and reduces your electricity bill, he may well be right.

C. Cycling makes you healthier
D. A fascinating invention
Question 30: The word “ran” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to______.

D. workout
Question 33: Which of the following is NOT true, according to the passage?

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate
the correct answer to each of the questions from 34 to 40.
Los Angeles dancer, Brian Perez, was eating out with his friends one evening when suddenly
everyone went quiet. To his horror, he saw that the reason for this was that people were checking
their phones. Realising he had to do something to stop this, Brian made a rather daring suggestion.
What if they all put their gadgets in a pile in the middle of the table until they had finished the meal?
If anyone picked up their phone, that person would have to pay the whole bill. And so, it is said, the
game of 'phone stacking' was born.
The necessity for action like this highlights a major problem in today's society: our inability
to disconnect from technology. But while Brian's idea deals with the obsession in a social context,
measures also need to be taken at home. Some people drop their smartphones into a box the moment
they arrive home, which gives them the chance to interact with the people they live with. The fact
that the phone cannot be heard - it is on silent - nor seen - the flashing lights are hidden by the box
- means that they are no longer tempted to use it.
A less drastic solution is to ban electronic devices at certain times of day when the whole
family is likely to be together, for example at meal times. This can be hard for everyone, from
teenagers desperate to text friends to parents unable to switch off from work. On a normal day,
however, dinner takes less than an hour, and the benefits of exchanging opinions and anecdotes with
the rest of the family certainly makes up for the time spent offline.
Taking a break from technology is one thing, but knowing when to turn off a device is
another. Time seems to stand still in the virtual world, and before you know it, you find that it is
three o'clock in the morning. This is where a digital curfew comes in handy, a set time when all
devices must be put away. Evenings without technology are usually nice and peaceful and make a

more agreeable end to the day. And then it's time for bed. One of the best ways of ensuring you can
sleep at night is to ban electronic devices altogether from the bedroom. Lying next to a machine
bursting with information is far from relaxing, and the sounds it emits during the night can easily
wake you up. With technology out of the room, a line has been drawn between daytime and sleep
time, which enables us to switch off ourselves and drift off to sleep.
Question 34: Which best serves as the title for the passage?
A. Dependence on Technology: Time for Change!
B. Getting Rid of Your Mobiles: For Better or Worse?
C. Shocking News: Technology Shapes Our Mind!
D. Addiction to Technology: Storm in a Teacup
Question 35: According to paragraph 1, Brian Perez was shocked to find that_______.
A. people were willing to remove all their gadgets
B. the prices for food were too expensive
C. people were glued to their phones
D. everyone seemed quiet by nature
Question 36: The word “highlights” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to______.
A. tackles
B. expects
C. proposes
D. emphasizes
Question 37: The word “it” in paragraph 2 refers to________.
A. fact
B. phone
C. light
D. box
Question 38: The word “ban” in paragraph 3 is opposite in meaning to ______.
A. allow
B. forbid
C. prohibit
D. prevent
Question 39: Which of the following statements is true, according to the passage?
A. People choose not to use their phones at home so that they can talk to other members.
B. Meal times are the most suitable for the whole family to use phones together.
C. Teenagers can find it easier to turn off their phones compared to their parents.
D. Brian's idea is not new in terms of making people less dependent on technology.
Question 40: Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?
A. Having a conversation at dinner definitely strengthens the bonds among family members.
B. Using electronic gadgets at bedtime is likely to deprive yourself of having a good sleep.
C. People are more pleasant to talk with when they use technology in the evenings.
D. The line between daytime and sleep time has become increasingly blurred.
