V. Read the following passage. For each question, choose the correct option.

My name is Sylvia and my favourite gadget is my e-book reader, Kindle. I got it on my last birthday. It’s smaller and lighter than a tablet. The battery even lasts longer. In fact, it can run for weeks on a single charge. Besides, it hasn’t got an LCD colour display like a tablet or smartphone, so it doesn’t cause eye strain even when you read for long hours. I love my Kindle because I always have lots of books to read on the bus. I can store up to 1,500 books on it, but I only have forty-five. I’m never bored with my Kindle. Last Christmas, my grandparents gave my brother and me a hoverboard. It’s like an electronic skateboard, which is really cool. At first, it was difficult for me to keep my balance on the hoverboard. My brother rode it better than me. We use it to travel around the neighbourhood and in the park. Hoverboards work better on flat and straight surfaces than on gravel, grass or dirt. You have to wear a helmet when riding a hoverboard to avoid injuries. And it’s not a good idea to travel by hoverboard when it’s rainy because it is very dangerous. My mum said she would give me a games console if I pass my exam, so I’m doing my best.

Nowadays, teenagers use digital technologies for everyday activities like keeping in touch with friends on social media, relaxing and doing schoolwork. There are some tips that they need to know to avoid online risks. Firstly, keep your personal information private. Never tell a stranger where you live or your phone number. If you’re not sure whether you should share something or not, ask a parent. You should also think carefully before you post. As soon as a message or a photo is put online, someone can take a screenshot of it and it can be online forever. Secondly, be choosy about your online friends. It’s not safe to meet an online friend in person. Keep in mind that online friends are not the same as real in-person friends. Some people might say they’re in seventh grade online but actually are adults. Moreover, don’t be mean or embarrass other people online. Tell an adult right away if someone says something to you that makes you uncomfortable. Also, tell an adult if you see anyone bullying or saying unkind stuff to other children.

Coco taxi – Havana, Cuba

They are slower but cheaper than regular black taxis. They have a speed of 30km/h. They are also really noisy. The famous yellow coco taxis are mainly for tourists, so people can find them easily in places of tourist destinations or in front of famous hotels.

Gondola – Venice, Italy

Venice is famous for its large network of canals, and the best way to get around them is by using a traditional narrow long wooden gondola boat. Gondolas were the main means of transport in Venice centuries ago, but today they carry only tourists. A gondola ride in Venice ranks among one of the most romantic experiences for travellers.

Animals and touch-screens

11. __________

Esme, Molly, Quinn and Emily have each got a touch-screen tablet. Esme and Quinn push the blue circle on the right of the screen, but nothing happens. So, they move to the left of the screen, put their noses to the other circle, and they get a snack. Molly and Emily don’t get a snack because they don’t push the correct button. The tablets are part of an experiment at the University of Vienna. But Esme, Molly, Quinn and Emily aren’t humans: they’re tortoises.

12. __________

Of course, the tortoises in Austria aren’t the first animals to use this technology. More than thirty years ago, a male bonobo monkey called Kanzi learned how to use a large touch-screen to communicate with a human. Kanzi lives with other bonobos at the Great Ape Trust in Des Moines, Iowa, USA. He ‘talks’ to his trainer, Sue Savage-Rumbaugh, using a screen with 400 lexigrams – simple images that represent words.

13. __________

Scientist Jennifer Vonk also uses touch-screens with the animals she studies. A few years ago, she did an experiment with three young black bears: Brutus, Dusty and Bella. At the time, people thought that only animals who lived in groups could count. Vonk experimented with bears because they usually live alone. Using extra strong touch-screen tablets, she found that the bears could count just like animals in groups – the group isn’t important in learning how to count.

14. __________

But animals don’t only use touch-screens in experiments. The penguins at a zoo near Los Angeles have a tablet that they use for entertainment. Two young male penguins, Jeremy and Newsome, particularly like an app called Game for Cats. In the game they have to ‘catch’ a mouse on the screen. The game exercises their minds and helps to make their lives in the zoo more interesting.
