VI. Read the text. Match sentences A–G with gaps 1–5. There are two extra sentences.
Shopping habits in the UK have changed over the last sixty years, and this can be seen in the changing
appearance of any British high street – the main shopping street in a town or city. In the 1950s, high streets
had rows of individual shops selling different things. (26) Most people did this every few days in
order to buy fresh food. The high street was a sociable place to be.
This started to change in the 1970s with the arrival of supermarkets. They gave people the chance to buy
everything that they needed in one place. People didn’t need to go to individual shops any more. ( 27)
So this new type of shop, along with a new way of storing meat and fruit at home, meant that instead of
doing a small shop every few days, people could buy all the food that they needed for a week, or sometimes
even a month.
As supermarkets became more popular, they changed from small local shops to huge superstores. (28)
They took people away from the high street. They also tried to offer customers everything that they needed,
like a coffee shop, a hairdresser's and a chemist's. (29) But this meant that the shops on the high street
started to close down as they lost their customers.
These days, more and more people are choosing not to go to supermarkets to do their shopping. (30)
People are also trying to spend less money, so a new type of discount shop has become very popular. It
maybe because of this that people have stopped doing big weekly or monthly shops. Now they go to shops
more frequently to buy what they need for the next few days. So, in many ways, people seem to be going
back to the way people shopped in the 1950s.
A. The idea was to get customers to spend all their money in one place.
B. Customers knew exactly where to find the things they needed in each shop.
C. And because of their size, many of these supermarkets were outside town.
D. People loved it because they had never had the chance to do all their shopping there before.
E. At the same time, more and more people had freezers in their houses.
F. There was a greengrocer's next to a butcher's next to a baker's, and people visited each place to do
their shopping.
G. Instead, they are using the internet to shop from home and get their shopping delivered.

VIII. Read the text and answer the questions below by choosing the most appropriate option A, B, C
or D.
Choosing a career may be one of the hardest jobs you ever have, and it must be done with care. View a
career as an opportunity to do something you love, not simply as a way to earn a living.
Deciding what matters most to you is essential to making the right decision. You may want to begin by
assessing your likes, dislikes, strengths, and weaknesses. Think about the classes, hobbies, and surroundings
that you find most appealing. Ask yourself questions, such as “Would you like to travel? Do you want to
work with children? Are you more suited to solitary or cooperative work?” There are no right or wrong
answers; only you know what is important to you. Determine which job features you require, which ones
you would prefer, and which ones you cannot accept. Then rank them in order of importance to you.
The setting of the job is one factor to take into account. You may not want to sit at a desk all day. If not,
there are diverse occupations – building inspector, supervisor, real estate agent – that involve a great deal of
time away from the office. Geographical location may be a concern, and employment in some fields is
concentrated in certain regions. Advertising job can generally be found only in large cities. On the other
hand, many industries such as hospitality, law education, and retail sales are found in all regions of the
country.
If a high salary is important to you, do not judge a career by its starting wages. Many jobs, such as insurance
sales, offer relatively low starting salaries; however, pay substantially increases along with your experience,
additional training, promotions and commission.
Don’t rule out any occupation without learning more about it. Some industries evoke positive or negative
associations.

A. questions B. jobs C. features D. answers

B. indicate that each person’s answers may change over time.
C. showing that answering the questions is a long and difficult process
D. emphasize that each person’s answers will be different
34. According to paragraph 3, which of the following fields is not suitable for a person who does not want to
live in a big city?
A. advertising B. retail sales C. law D. plumbing
35. It can be inferred from paragraph 4 that .
A. insurance salespeople can earn high salaries later in their careers

C. a starting salary should be an important consideration in choosing a career.
