1. Read the passage then choose the best answers

Money is something we all take for granted in our lives. Some of us may wish we had more of it but we all recognize it when we see it, whether in the form of coins, notes or cheques. It is difficult to imagine how people managed without money. In the earliest periods of human history, people used to exchange goods directly. They would exchange things they had plenty of for things that they were in need of. For example, they might offer food for tools. This method of exchange, which is known as “barter”, has many disadvantages. Certain goods may be difficult to carry, they may not last long, or may be impossible to divide into smaller units. It can also be difficult to know the worth of something compared with other goods.

According to historians, the first money, in the sense we understand it today, consisted of gold coins produced about 2,500 years ago. Gold, being a very precious metal, was a suitable material. The introduction of gold coins was acceptable to everyone and they were still being used at the beginning of this century, although they have now been replaced by paper money and coins made of ordinary metals.

1. In the old days, people exchanged………..

A. what they needed for what they had B. food for tools

A. food is exchanged for tools B. no money is used

A. made of paper B. made of gold C. made of coins D. made of 2000 years ago

5. Modern money is made of ……….

A. gold B. paper or gold

C. ordinary metals D. paper or ordinary metals

1. The end of a long journey

Yesterday was an important day for Thomas Burns from Portsmouth. He retired after 45 years as a bus driver in the city. Here he writes about the changes he has seen over the years.

‘Over the years a lot of things have changed in Portsmouth and I think it’s more difficult to be a bus driver today than before. There are more cars, more cyclists, more traffic jams and more people in a hurry! I’ve seen a lot of changes in the town centre too. When I started you could drive along the High Street. Now you can’t. It’s for people on foot! There are lots of roads you can’t drive along.

Another change is that 40 years ago we had conductors. Conductors were people who worked on the bus too and they walked up and down the bus and sold the tickets. Today the driver has to sell tickets. Also, the conductors watched the passengers for any trouble. Today we have CCTV cameras instead! But a CCTV camera can’t tell a teenager to get off the bus!

The passengers haven’t changed a lot. I’ve met some really nice people and some very rude people too. But that’s life, isn’t it?’

* Are the sentences true or false?

1. People want to get to places quickly these days. _

2. There is more traffic on the roads today than before.

3. The city centre is the same as it was when Thomas started as a driver.

4. There is more trouble on the buses today than there was before. _

5. All Thomas’s passengers were polite. _

2. A near accident

Pam Tyler has just returned from a winter holiday and has a story to tell about a very near accident.

Pam travelled with her husband, Steve, and her two children, Kev and Lucy. They were very happy when they started the journey. ‘The children were so excited,’ says Pam. ‘Christmas with lots of snow. It was the perfect holiday!’

The Tyler family went by car and took the car ferry from England to Norway. ‘It was very cold,’ continues Pam. ‘And the children asked again and again, “Is it snowing in Norway?” When the boat arrived it was amazing. The snow was really heavy!’

They arrived at 6.30 in the evening and they had to drive for two hours to get to their holiday home. But first they had to drive through the town – on the right hand side of the road! Pam was the driver with Steve beside her and the children were in the back. At that time of the evening it was dark and snowy and it was difficult to see the road. Pam drove slowly. Suddenly she saw a red light and stopped quickly. She was just past the light.

Steve shouted, ‘Drive!’ ‘But it’s red,’ said Pam.

‘Just drive!’ Steve shouted. ‘Now!’

Pam drove and a few seconds later a tram passed behind them. The red light was there to stop the cars when the trams passed. In the snow Pam stopped the car after the light and she stopped ON the tram lines. Luckily, Steve saw the tram and saved their lives!

‘There aren’t any trams in my town in England,’ says Pam. ‘I didn’t know about the tram lines. We nearly died. We were very lucky. Of course, Steve drove for the rest of the holiday!’* Answer the questions.

1 Why were the children excited about the holiday?

_

2 What was the weather like when they arrived in Norway?

3 Why was it difficult to drive?

4 What did Pam see and what did she do?

5 Why did Steve shout ‘Drive!’?
