The use of computer and the internet allows people to work at home instead of traveling to work. For example, a journalist who lives in a remote part of the world still gets in his articles on time for the next day’s newspapers. The internet allows businesses to communicate with customers and workers in any parts of the world for the cost of a local telephone call . This means it’s inexpensive to communicate . Email allows users to send documents, pictures and other data from one part of the world to another in at least 5 minutes. The internet is providing a lot of new business opportunities. Some businesses are advertising their products on the internet. People can use the internet to do shopping. This saves a lot of time. It is possible to use the internet for education- students may connect with their teachers from home to send or receive e. mail or talk their problems through ‘ on – line’ rather than attend a class. 1 the internet is ................................ to communicate with people around the world a a cheap way b an expensive way c an inconvenient way d a difficult way 2 through the internet , businesses can............................................. a buy goods from each other b advertise and sell their products c send their products to customer d all are correct 3 it takes ............................ to do the shopping to the internet a a lot of time b a little time c less time d more time 4 which of the fowllowing is true ? a thanks to the internet , people do not need to go to work b e-mail can be used to advertise new products c the internet can be used for education d students nowdays spend more time going on line than attending school

Most people will praise many technological gadgets that they use in their everyday lives.
Technology is developing at a very fast rate, and what most people did not even think could be real
ĐÀO THỊ THỦY CHUNG
a few years ago is now becoming a reality. Although many will use and advertise modern
technology for many of its achievements and advancements, what many don’t realize is that it has
affected and continues to affect society and people in general in a negative way.
Newspaper companies, as we all know, have been hit very hard by the advancements in
technology. Big newspapers have been forced to either lay off a percentage of their work force or
shut down altogether because news is readily available for free on the Internet. Music does not
have to be purchased at music stores any more because MP3 files are readily available on the
Internet as well, thus causing them to shut their doors for good. The movie industry has also been
hit hard because DVD sales have decreased since people can pay for and download their favorite
movies online.
Technology has its benefits, but when you take a look at how people communicate with one
another, you will quickly see that it has a negative impact. Modern technology has allowed people
to communicate with just about anyone they want to at any given time. The fact remains that
people do not interact personally with one another as often as they used to. This has created a
barrier for face-to-face communication among people because they no longer have to hold a
meeting in an office or they no longer have to call friends or family members together to wish
them a happy birthday or congratulate them on their recent success.
As a result, people don’t feel the urgent need to step outside of their home to find
entertainment, such as participating in a dynamic game of basketball with friends, meeting a friend
at a coffee shop, etc.
26. According to the first paragraph, modern technology _________________
A. is developing rapidly B. comes true. C. benefits us a lot D.
has its disadvantages
27. The word “them” in paragraph 2 refers to ___
A. newspaper companies B. advancements C. music stores D. MP3 files
28. The author shows us the negative effects of the technology by _____.
A. telling some stories B. giving some examples
C. listing some figures D. doing some
experiments
29. What does he underlined word “interact” in the third paragraph probably mean?
A. argue B. consult C. communicate D. work
30. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A. The negative effects of advancing technology B. The benefits of the
modern technology
C. The development of the modern technology D. The social problems caused by the
technology
I. Read the passage then answer the questions: The Internet has rapidly developed and become part of our daily life. It's a very fast and convenient way to get information. People use the Internet for many purposes : education, communication, entertainment and business. The Internet helps people communicate with friends and relatives by means of e-mail or chatting. However, the Internet has limitations. It is time- consuming and costly. It is also dangerous because of viruses and bad programs.

Questions: 1. How has the Internet developed? ->.................................. 2. Why do people use the Internet? ->.................................. 3.
