Read the passage and choose the best answer for the questions. (1) Movies, also known as films, have several genres, but they are made in a similar way. Basically, a screenwriter writes a script, which is the story of the movie with words that the actors and actresses will say. Actors, actresses and directors read scripts to find out what to say and what to do. The actors and actresses memorize the words and learn the actions from the script that they will say and do in the movie. The director tells the actors and actresses what to do and a cameraman takes motion pictures of them. When filming has finished, an editor puts the moving pictures together. Audio engineers record music and singing and join it with the moving pictures. When the movie is done, many copies of the movie are made and sent to cinemas. An electric machine called a projector shines a very bright light through the movie, and people sitting in a dark room see it on a big screen.

Read the passage and decide whether the statements are TRUE (T) or FALSE (F).

Population problems are different in different parts of the world. For example, in many European countries, the population is getting older. The birth rate is low because many young people have only one child or none at all. After retirement, they feel lonely and often very poor because they don’t save enough money.

In Africa, the population problems are very different. The population has grown rapidly over the last 40 years and it has a relatively young population. Many families continue to have large numbers of children to look after older people and to help on the land.

Asia is the largest and most populous of earth’s continents. It also has the highest population growth rate today, and its population almost quadrupled during the 20th century. Asian population will continue to grow, increasing pressure on the region’s natural resources.
