III. Read the following passage and decide the statements are true (T) or false (F) (0.5 p)
 An important part of world history is the story of communication. In prehistoric times, for example, people did not have books. They did not know much about geography. People were limited. They knew only about themselves and their environment (the land around their homes). Their knowledge of geographical things like mountains and rivers was limited. They did not travel very far. Sometimes they knew about nearby people and communicated with them. They sent messages in simple ways. Early signals for communication included smoke from fires and the sounds of drums.
 Then people formed towns, and then cities, as safe places to live. Soon they began to develop other ways to communicate, to spread information. People began to buy and sell things to one another. Because of their business, they developed writing systems to keep records and to send messages. Life was changing for many people. Business caused changes, and so did the invention of the printing press. Many more people learned to read then.
 Suddenly communication and knowledge improved greatly. People sent letters and news by horse and carriage. Later the mail went by train and then by airplane. World communication was now a possibility.
Prehistory people were well-known for their worldwide knowledge. 
People lived in prehistoric time did never write about their history.
They could simply send messages from each country to the others by air signals.
Many more people learned to read before the invention of the printing press.
The main idea of the reading text is about the history of telecommunication of human race.

IV. Read the passage and choose the best answer to complete each of the following 
 questions. Remember to write your answer in the numbered box (1p) 
	It is very important to have healthy teeth. Good teeth help us to chew our food. They also help us to look nice. How does a tooth go bad? The decay begins in a little crack in the enamel covering of the tooth. This happens after germs and bits of food have collected there. Then the decay slowly spreads inside the tooth. Eventually, poison goes into blood, and we may feel quite ill.
 How can we keep our teeth healthy?. Firstly, we ought to visit our dentist twice a year. He can fill the small holes in our teeth before they destroy the teeth. He can examine our teeth to check that they are growing in the right way. Unfortunately, many people wait until they have toothache before they see a dentist. 
 Secondly, we should brush our teeth with a toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste at least twice a day- once after breakfast and once before we go to bed. We can also use wooden toothpicks to clean between our teeth after a meal.
 Thirdly, we should eat food that is good for our teeth and our body: milk, cheese, fish, brown bread, potatoes, red rice, raw vegetables and fresh fruit. Chocolate, sweets, biscuits and cakes are bad, especially when we eat them between meals. They are harmful because they stick to our teeth and cause decay.
Good teeth help us to ................
A. be pretty.	B. have a good eyesight.
C. chew our row food.	D. be important people.
When food and germs stick in a small crack, our teeth ............
A. become hard	B. begin to decay.
C. send poison into the blood.	D. makes us feel quite ill.
A lot of people visit a dentist only when ..............
A. their teeth grow better than other people.
B. they have holes in their faces
C. they have they have problems with their teeth. 	
D. they have brushed their teeth.
In order to keep good teeth, we should clean our teeth ...............
A. before eating sweets.	B. at least two times a day.
C. after using wooden toothpicks.	D. before breakfast.
