READING COMPREHENSION
In the last 100 years, technology has completely changed the way we live. At the touch
of a button, we can look up almost anything we need to know on the internet. We have
electricity, aeroplanes, television and we have ever been to the moon. So what sort of
inventions will be there in the 21st century? Indeed is there anything important still left
to invent? It seems that there is. Scientists all over the world are looking into Nan
technology with a great deal of interest. This is the science of building small machines
and when we say small, we mean very small. To give you an idea of the size the
scientists are talking about, these machines would be about a million billion times
smaller than the smallest bit of dust. Nan technology will bring about enormous
changes. Doctors, for example, will be able to cure any illness. The environment will
be improved because it will be possible to take the polluted air we breathe and make it
clean again. But perhaps the most exciting thought of all is that we won‟t have to wait
a thousand years for Nan technology – many people believe there is a good chance it
will come in our lifetime.
(<1>) This passage is mainly about ____________.
A. inventions

A. Scientists have a lot of interest in Nan technology.
B. The size of the
machines will be much smaller than the smallest bit of dust.
C. Nan technology will
bring about some changes in the medical field.
D. Many people believe that they
have to wait a thousand years for Nan technology. [

John Fisher, a builder, and his wife Elizabeth wanted more living space, so they left
their small flat for an old 40-metre-high castle tower. They have spent five years
turning it into a beautiful home with six floors, winning three architectural prizes.„I
love the space, and being private,' Elizabeth says. 'You feel separated from the world.
If I'm in the kitchen, which is 25 metres above the ground floor, and the doorbell rings,
I don't have to answer it because visitors can't see I'm in!''There are 142 steps to the
top, so I go up and down five or six times a day, it's very good exercise! But having to
carry heavy things to the top is terrible, so I never buy two bags of shopping from the
supermarket at a time. Apart from that, it's a brilliant place to live.''When we first saw
the place, I asked my father's advice about buying it, because we couldn't decide. After
paying for it, we were a bit worried because it looked awful. But we really loved it, and
knew how we wanted it to look.' 'Living here can be difficult - yesterday I climbed a
four-metre ladder to clean the windows. But when you stand on the roof you can see all
the way out to sea on a clear day, and that's a wonderful experience. I'm really glad we
moved.'
(<1>) What is the writer trying to do in the text?
A. Describe how to turn an old tower into a house and how to live in it.
B. Recommend a particular builder.

C. Describe things in the tower.

D. Explain how to win prizes for building work. [

(<2>) From this text, a reader can find out_____________.

reduce stress and insomnia and premature infants. Julius Portnoy, a musicologist,
found that it can change heart rates, increase or decrease blood pressure, effect energy
levels, and digestion, positively or negatively, depending on the type of music.
Calming music, such as classical musk, was found to have a very calming effect on the
body, and cause the increase of endorphins, thirty minutes of such music was equal to
the effect of a dose of valium. Both hemispheres of the brain are involved in
processing music. The music in these studies is not the lyrics, but the music itself, the
melody, the tones, the tunes, the rhythm, and the chords. Conversely music has also
been documented to cause sickness. The right, or wrong music, can be like a poison to
the body. Studies had been done on plants and the results were that loud hard rock
music killed plants and soft classical music made the plants grow faster. Music is very
powerful, like a drug and can even be an addiction. According to Patty Hearst, a
researcher on music, it was documented that music was used in the aid of brainwashing
some people. In the book, "Elevator Music" by Joseph Lanza, it is stated that certain
types of strong music over prolonged periods in certain conditions were shown to
cause seizures.
