READING COMPREHENTION 1:

The use of working animals began long before humankind

started to practice agriculture, which is the way people grow
plants. The use of animal power is now considered by many
people to be inefficient. Yet, despite the more than years
spent promoting using machines in developing countries, the
development gap between industrialized countries and those
2.5
with weak, highly dependent economies has increased. Moreover, the use of existing production
models, which are more seriously dependent on fossil fuels, cannot be considered possible round
the world. Therefore, other energy sources such as the effective use of working animals must be
established. Animals not only provide the means by which millions of families make a living, but
they also contribute to socially acceptable production systems. Besides, the efficiency of their
energy inputs into crop production is higher than that of machines. This means the traditional use
of working animals has the potential to improve the living conditions of farmers.

READING COMPREHENTION 2:

Computers are good tools. The Internet is also good.

can't stop it. Doctors say this is a new sickness.

(IAD). People with IAD are online a lot. They
spend hours instant messaging their friends or playing online games. Many people with IAD
spend more time on the Internet than with family or friends. Some people with IAD even quit
their jobs!
2.5
Do you have IAD? Think about these questions: How many hours a day are you online? Is it a lot
or a little? When you are not online, are you thinking about playing a computer game or checking
your messages? When you are online, do you forget the time? Do you get angry when you can't
play a game?
If you have IAD, what can you do? Dr. Ivan Goldberg and Dr. Kimberly S. Young have some
ideas. First, ask yourself "Why am I online a lot?" Then try to take a break. For example, use the
