Reading Comprehension
The Olden Days

In the 1700s and 1800s, before all the electronic appliances of modern times, people used to be relatively
self-sufficient. People used to keep chickens, cows and gardens behind their houses. There didn’t use to be
any refrigerators, so ice used to be cut during the winter to preserve food during the summer, or in warmer
regions, foods had to be smoked or salted to be preserved.

Food was only part of the story. Adults and children alike used to work long hours to make clothes, candles
and household tools. For entertainment, families also used to spend time together listening to somebody
read books or tell stories. Children’s games used to be based more on imagination than equipment.
Hopscotch, jump rope and Hide and Seek were popular.

Illness was often devastating. No immunizations, meant disease used to kill or cripple many children, and
without antibiotics, small cuts could be deadly. Doctors in smaller or frontier communities did their best, but
some didn’t use to have proper training and equipment so people sometimes died in ways that may shock us today.

Answer the questions according to the reading. What words or expressions from the text mean
the same as:
1. How did people use to preserve their food?
The people used to preserve their food with ice, smoke or salt.
_____________________________________________________ Shock
To alarm - _____________________________________
_____________________________________________________
2. What were some of the ways to pass the time Highly destructive or damaging - _______________
according to the reading?
People sometimes died in ways, because they didn't use to have
_____________________________________________________ Devastating
_______________________________________________
proper training or equipment.
_____________________________________________________
3. What kind of games do you imagine kids used to Cause (someone) to become unable to walk
play?
Hopsotch, tag, jump rope and hide and seek
_____________________________________________________ Cripple
or move properly - _____________________________

Reading Comprehension
Tidy space, clear mind
Your office says more about you than you may think, so, make sure it says what you want in order to give people the best
impression possible. A tidy office and work atmosphere create a sense of professionalism for both; employees and
clients. They demonstrate a company’s dedication to detail and careful planning. If a potential customer walks into a
messy office, there is a good chance they would turn around and walk out the door. An organized workplace will give
off a more professional image which will make you and your company appear more trustworthy.

Working in a clean and neat environment will relieve stress and help you to think clearer. After all, a cluttered office results
in a cluttered mind. Having tons of boxes, files, documents and equipment surrounding you can be distracting. Organize
your workspace giving all of your important things their own place. This makes it easier to access them quickly when
you need them and makes you a more efficient employee.

The World Wide Web
The Internet is a series of interconnected computers and databases
around the world. It is one of the most revolutionary inventions of humanity.
It helps us work, communicate and entertain ourselves. Until the Internet
came along, the most important means of communication were radio,
television and, of course, the telephone. The Internet, or World Wide Web
(which is what “WWW” stands for), was an instant hit. The internet reached
50 million users in a matter of just 5 years.

There are many advantages and disadvantages in the use of the internet.
On one hand, using search engines, users can access all kinds of
information simply by typing in some keywords, and through the links it’s
easy to surf the web moving from one webpage or website to another.
Social networks have connected people around the globe and keeping in
touch with your friends on the other side of the world is now easier than ever.
On the other hand, some people feel the internet is making us dependent
and that the increasing popularity of social networking sites and mobile
phone texting have introduced parents to problems like how to protect
children from online predators and bullies. Cyber-safety will soon be taught
in schools all over the world to teach kids about how to stay safe on the web.

Answer the questions according to the text.

1. What can people do on the internet?
It helps us work, communicate and entertain ourselves.

Reading Comprehension
What is a bank?
A bank is a place to save your money. Banks provide financial services to customers. These services include savings
accounts, checking accounts, money orders, loans and savings certificates among others. The people who work at a
bank are loan officers who help you process loan applications to buy a car, a house or a business. There are also bank
tellers who sell money orders and help clients deposit and withdraw money from the bank accounts. Banks transport the
money in special trucks and it is saved in special high security vaults. Most banks are closed at night, but customers can
still withdraw money from an ATM using their credit or debit cards. It is very convenient, but you should always remember
to never receive any help from strangers or give out any of your information and be extra careful when using an ATM at
night. Try to always do your transactions during the day or online.

A Long Road Trip
I just arrived from a long trip. I visited three cities in three days. I’m really tired. I usually travel by plane but this time I
decided to take a road trip since the three cities are relatively close to one another, about two hours by car, and one of
my workmates told me the landscapes were just beautiful in that area, so I decided to drive. When I arrived to my first
destination, there was a huge traffic jam, and I was very worried about arriving late at the meeting with the Sales
Manager of my company in one of the branch offices. Fortunately, I got there just in time. The next day I had to meet an
old customer to close a negotiation for the distribution of some of our new products, and finally, the last day, I had to give
a presentation to a new potential customer. On my way back home I got a flat tire. I was really upset, not to say scared,
because I don’t know how to change a tire. Anyway, I had to try or wait almost two hours for the tow truck. Luckily, when I
was going to take the jack and the crossbar out of the trunk, a farmer passed by and pulled over to help me. I have to
admit it was an exciting little adventure, but I think I’ll just keep flying on my business trips.
