Have you ever felt that there aren't enough hours in the day? These days we have to do our jobs,
look after our homes, save energy to help the environment, and do exercise to stay healthy! Like
many of us, Alex Gadsden never had enough time. He ran a business and a home and needed to lose
weight. So he decided to do something about it. He invented the cycle washer. The 29-year-old now
starts each day with a 45-minute cycle ride. He not only feels healthier but he saves on his energy
bills and does the washing too.
He said, "It gives the user a good workout. I've only used it for two weeks but I've already noticed a
difference." "I tend to get up at around six-thirty now and get straight on the cycle washer. I
keep it in the garden, so it's nice to get out in the fresh air. Afterwards, I feel full of energy. Then I
generally have breakfast and a shower and I really feel ready to start the day." The green washing
machine uses 25 litres of water a wash, and takes enough clothes to fill a carrier bag. He normally
3
cycles for 25 minutes to wash the clothes, and then for another 20 minutes to dry them. And it
doesn't use any electricity, of course. Mr Gadsden, the boss of a cleaning company, believes his
machine could become very popular. With an invention which cleans your clothes, keeps you fit and
reduces your electricity bill, he may well be right.

Câu 34 - 40
Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions from 34 to 40.
Los Angeles dancer, Brian Perez, was eating out with his friends one evening when suddenly
everyone went quiet. To his horror, he saw that the reason for this was that people were checking
their phones. Realising he had to do something to stop this, Brian made a rather daring suggestion.

5
What if they all put their gadgets in a pile in the middle of the table until they had finished the meal?
If anyone picked up their phone, that person would have to pay the whole bill. And so, it is said, the
game of 'phone stacking' was born.
The necessity for action like this highlights a major problem in today's society: our inability to
disconnect from technology. But while Brian's idea deals with the obsession in a social context,
measures also need to be taken at home. Some people drop their smartphones into a box the moment
they arrive home, which gives them the chance to interact with the people they live with. The fact
that the phone cannot be heard - it is on silent - nor seen - the flashing lights are hidden by the box -
means that they are no longer tempted to use it.
A less drastic solution is to ban electronic devices at certain times of day when the whole family is
likely to be together, for example at meal times. This can be hard for everyone, from teenagers
desperate to text friends to parents unable to switch off from work. On a normal day, however,
dinner takes less than an hour, and the benefits of exchanging opinions and anecdotes with the rest
of the family certainly makes up for the time spent offline.
Taking a break from technology is one thing, but knowing when to turn off a device is another.
Time seems to stand still in the virtual world, and before you know it, you find that it is three o'clock
in the morning. This is where a digital curfew comes in handy, a set time when all devices must be
put away. Evenings without technology are usually nice and peaceful and make a more agreeable
end to the day. And then it's time for bed. One of the best ways of ensuring you can sleep at night is
to ban electronic devices altogether from the bedroom. Lying next to a machine bursting with
information is far from relaxing, and the sounds it emits during the night can easily wake you up.
With technology out of the room, a line has been drawn between daytime and sleep time, which
enables us to switch off ourselves and drift off to sleep.
34. Which best serves as the title for the passage?
A. Dependence on Technology: Time for Change!
B. Getting Rid of Your Mobiles: For Better or Worse?
C. Shocking News: Technology Shapes Our Mind!
D. Addiction to Technology: Storm in a Teacup
