1 Technology is moving at such a breakneck speed that it is enough to make your head spin. It can
2 be difficult to keep up. Moreover, with each new technological marvel come consequences. Much
3 of the research conducted has shown the extent of the damage being made to our health by
4 technology. It is a scary thought, and with teenagers and children being heavy consumers and
5 users of these gadgets, they run the risk of being harmed the most. The digital revolution in music
6 has enabled people to download, store and listen to songs on a tiny, portable device calling an
7 MP3 player. The process is quick and afterwards you can have access of a library of thousands of
8 songs that can fit into your palm. But experts say that continuous listening to loud music on these
9 small music players can permanently damage hair cells in the inner ear, resulting in hearing loss.
10 For instance, old-fashioned headphones have replaced with smaller ones that fit neatly into the ear,
11 instead of over them, which intensifies the sound. In addition to that, digital music does not distort
12 and keep its crystal clear sound, even on loud settings, which encourages children to crank up the
13 volume. Apart from hearing damage, there are other serious healthy risks. We are living in a
14 wireless age. Calls can be made and received on mobiles from anywhere and the internet can be
15 accessed without the need for cables. The advantages are enormous, bringing ease and
16 convenience to our lives.

Part 3. Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions. Write
your answers A, B, C or D in the corresponding numbered boxes.
Before 1815 manufacturing in the United States had been done in homes or shops by skilled artisans.
As master craft workers, they imparted the knowledge of their trades to apprentices and journeymen. In
addition, women often worked in their homes part-time, making finished articles from raw material
supplied by merchant capitalists. After 1815 this older form of manufacturing began to give way to
factories with machinery tended by unskilled or semiskilled laborers. Cheap transportation networks, the
rise of cities, and the availability of capital and credit all stimulated the shift to factory production.
The creation of a labor force that was accustomed to working in factories did not occur easily. Before
the rise of the factory, artisans had worked within the home. Apprentices were considered part of the
family, and masters were responsible not only for teaching their apprentices a trade but also for
providing them some education and for supervising their moral behavior. Journeymen knew that if
they perfected their skill, they could become respected master artisans with their own shops. Also,
skilled artisans did not work by the clock, at a steady pace, but rather in bursts of intense labor
alternating with more leisurely time.
