    The use of computers, already very important today, will continue to create great changes for white-collar workers. In   1    , as in factories, there will be a need for fewer people,     2   those people will need more skills. Secretaries, for instance, will need to be able to use word processing and other computer packages. In addition, many office workers will be free to work in several    3     -e.g. the office and the home. This will be possible because of the computer networks--groups of      4   computers. These computer networks will cause more changes in family life. Today, more men and women have to leave the house for work or study, but in the future both men and women may    5     to stay home with a computer and     6   be able to receive a paycheck.
    And how will people spend this paycheck?    7     until now, consumers have been buying from stores most of the things that they need or want. They’ve driven cars or taken buses to supermarkets, shopping centers, department stores, and specialty shops,   8     they’ve looked for sales, bargains, and discounts. They’ve examined products and made their choices. Then,    9     the help of salesclerks, they’ve paid cash, or used checks or credit cards to buy the merchandise. Then they’ve taken the items home. Until now, most consumers have been shopping in this way; however, experts predict that shopping   10    may change greatly in the future.

Questions 1 - 5 are based on the following passage:
    Do you have bright ideas? Ideas for inventions that change society or, at least, make life easier for somebody? Perhaps we all do sometimes, but we don’t often make the idea as reality. Recently, in Britain, there was a competition called British Designers for Tomorrow. The competition encouraged young people to carry out their bright ideas. There were two groups in the contest: Group One was for schoolchildren under 16; Group Two was for schoolchildren over 16. And there were eleven prize-winners altogether.
    Neil Hunt, one of the prize-winners, was called ‘Sunshine Superman’ by one newspaper writing about his design. It’s important when people study the weather to be able to record sunshine accurately. We need to know how many hours of sunshine we have and how strong it is. Most sunshine recorders only record direct sunlight. Neil’s is more accurate and this is very important for research into way of using solar power. With his prize of £100, Neil plans to carry on inventing.
    You can do so much with animation. Look at Simon West’s idea for animated road signs. He uses pictures which appear to move as you go nearer to or farther from them. This isn’t a new idea. But it is new to use these pictures on mad signs. “We found that people were more likely to see moving sign”, said Simon. So now, you can really see rocks falling, trains moving,  horses galloping or a car falling over the edge of a cliff. Quite a warning!
    The ideas in the competition were so inventive that we are surprised that British industry doesn’t ask more schoolchildren for suggestions. Perhaps this will be the start of ‘pupil power’!

Questions 6-10 are based on the following passage:
    The Pacific Ocean is a little less than twice the size of the Atlantic Ocean, covering more of the earth than all of the continents combined. Between the Philippines and Panama, the ocean is more than 10,000 miles wide. In some places it is more than 6 miles deep. This ocean was named by the Portuguese explorer, Ferdinand Magellan, who led the first expedition around the world. In 1519, when he first saw the ocean, he called it “Pacific” because it was so smooth and calm compared to the stormy Atlantic which he had just crossed.
