 Questions 1 – 7: READING

Transportation Changes
A Transportation started with walking. People used to walk to get to other places. If you
wanted to get somewhere quickly the only way to do that was to run.

B Then people invented ways to go from one place to another. In

some cultures, people invented sledges. That is a kind of board that you
drag along the ground. You can tie things on the sledge to help carry
them. In other cultures, people invented the wheel. That was the
beginning of many changes.

C Once people had wheels they could invent other ways to travel.
They could put the wheel on a board and make it a wagon. That wheel led
to what we have today: trucks, automobiles, even planes.

D How is the wheel part of planes? An airplane has to take off and
land. It needs to have wheels so it can start building speed as it takes off.
Then when it lands it needs wheels to help it land safely.

E There is another kind of travel that started a different way. Water

travel has changed a lot, and it has not needed wheels. The first way people
could travel on water was swimming. Probably the first person to make a
boat really just used a log. They could see if the log floated and then they
could put things on it and push them along. Soon people would be carving
wood to make boats.

passage below.

Long Distance Learning

A Australia is famous for its modern cities, such as Sydney and Melbourne. It is true that
many people in Australia live in large cities, but many people live in the countryside or in the
desert as well. For children who live outside the cities, the nearest school is often 200–300
km away. For some, it can be as far as 800 km away. One solution to this problem is to send
children to boarding schools where children live and study for the whole school year at the
school. But another solution is to use technology to bring education to thedesert.

B For the last 70 years, Australia has developed the best long-distance education
system in the world. In the 1940s, the children who lived in faraway places studied by using a
radio. Over the years, Australians developed a system of ‘radio schools’ which allowed
children to listen to lessons at home. The children received their books, homework, and
exams by mail. But, sending homework by post used to take a long time. The system of
studying by radio and mail was very useful, but it had some disadvantages. For example,
students couldn’t communicate with each other or talk to the teacher.

C Now, long-distance learning has changed a lot. Many schools in Australia offer
degrees using distance learning. Thanks to modern technology, such as the internet,
computers, and smartphones, students can take courses and listen to lessons anywhere in
Australia. This has also been helpful for working adults that want to finish their studies
at university. Many adults who work full-time can’t go to college or university every day.
However, they can use distance education to get a degree. The government even provides
some money for those who taken on such courses. This way of studying helps many people
graduate and get a good job without having to travel to a school.
