the correct answer to each of the questions. 
Since the 19th century, companies have looked for better and cleaner ways of reating
electricity. One UK company has created a special type of floor made of square tiles. Under each
square, there is a system that can create electricity very cheaply when someone steps on it!
The design of the floor works very well when it is used in very busy areas. And the
reason is that a lot of energy is created simply because of the large numbers of people walking
across the floor.
The floor can have other uses too; one of them is to record how many people visit a
shopping centre. This kind of information is very useful for shop owners because very often
they want to know at which times of days they have the highest numbers of customers. So the
next time you visit a big shopping centre, have a careful look at the floor that you are walking
across!

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. 
Today, text - messaging has probably become young people's most common form of
communication. Some teacher think that because of this, young people are not writing correctly
at school. They fear that once students get used to it, they will find it hard to switch back to
using correct grammar and spelling. How did things begin this way?
It all began with e-mail, online chat rooms, and games. Then step by step young people
made sentence, phrases and words shorter. As text – messaging continued to become popular,
people invented more and more words. Today, it is like a real language with its own grammar
and vocabulary. The growth of text – messaging has raised an important question: As students
become fluent in text – messaging, do their writing skills suffer?
People have different ideas about the effect of text – messaging on student’s writing
skills. Some say that students are losing the ability to write long, correct sentence. Others say
that text – messaging is having a good effect on the language students use in their schoolwork. It
shows that they are creative and good at expressing themselves. And if students can keep the two
systems separate – one for text – messaging and one for school – this will help students
appreciate reading and writing more.
Some people suggest that one way to reduce the bad effects of text – messaging is to find
ways to use technology as a positive learning tool. For example, students can be allowed to type
their assigments in a cell phone message and send them to their teachers, but they must type
correctly. In this way, students are using the technology that they are familiar with to
communicate in a form of language suitable for schoolwork. It shows students that text –
messaging is fine for social communication, but correct grammar and spelling are necessary for
communication in school.
