Read the passage then choose the correct answer to fill in each blank.
According to a recent study of teenagers, of them do not do housework just for pocket money. While many do household chores because they see it as a way of getting ready for adult life, others feel they have a to help their parents because it is fair, especially if their parents work.
More than two-thirds of the young people were surveyed clean floors at least once a week and more than 80% regularly set the table for meals or do the washing-up. Girls are more likely than boys to wash their own clothes.
There are, a few teens who only do the housework because they are made to by their parents. They argue that they should not be expected to help out at home because in their view, their teenage years are a period which should be enjoyed rather than with household responsibilities.

Read the passage and answer the questions.
Humans have always been searching for quicker and easier ways to get around. About 10,000 years ago, we built canoes made from logs of wood, while on land we started tiding horses around 4.000 BC. Roughly 500 years later, we invented the wheel, which led to carts and wagons, and at almost the same time, the Egyptians invented the sailing boat.
Up until the 18th century, most people travelled by sailing boat, horse or stagecoach, but in 1769, there was a major breakthrough when the Scottish inventor James Watt invented the steam engine. In 1783, the French inventor Claude de Jouffroy used this to build the first steamboat, and in 1804 the Englishman Richard Trevithick constructed the first steam-powered train. Railways helped carry coal around Britain and were an important part of the Industrial Revolution.
Another major breakthrough came when Karl Benz built the first working car in 1885. Then, in 1903, Orville and Wilbur Wright built the first aeroplane. These two inventions shaped the 20th century.
Nowadays, companies are developing self-driving cars and we will soon be able to take trips into space. The fascinating story of transportation continues and who knows how we'll be getting around in the future.

Read the passage and answer the questions.
A survey into the media habits of teenagers in the USA reveals some surprising statistics. The average teenager spends an incredible eleven hours each day on their mobile phones, computers, games consoles or TVs. That's more hours than they are awake outside school time! How are they able to do this? The answer, of course, is multitasking.
The results of the survey came as no surprise to fifteen-year-old participant Jake Kendall. He told researchers that he multitasked every second that he was online. He said that he was completing their survey at the same time as watching a TV show, chatting to friends online, and reading reviews of the latest film releases. For sixteen-year-old Malisa Sanchez, the survey simply confined the facts. She said that she had watched two hours of TV in the three hours since the end of school, and also researched her homework about volcanoes played an online game for two hours and arranged her weekend plans by texting friends.
Some experts are worried about the survey results. Sylvia de Lupis of the Family Action Institute told our reporter that teenagers would have difficulties because of their multitasking habits. She added that, as adults, they would struggle to focus their attention. However, Dr. Michael Rich from the Center on Media and Child Health said that worries about multitasking had become pointless a long time ago and that high levels of media use were now a part of young people's environment, 'like the air that they breathe, the water that they drink and the food that they eat'.
