In ancient times, housework was hard because homes did not have water or electricity. One of the most difficult household activities was washing clothes. People took their dirty clothes to the river once or twice a week and used rocks, sand and water to clean them.

For many years, people tried to find easier ways to wash their clothes. Sailors, for example, put their clothes in bags and threw them into the sea. This method worked quite well because the moving water helped.

In 1846, the first washing machine was invented, but it was difficult to use. The water was cold, so people warmed it on a fire. Then they pulled the clean, wet clothes through a special machine to take out the water.

The first electric washing machine was designed in 1908. It was more useful because it could warm the water but the clothes were still very wet. The contemporary washing machine wasn’t invented until 1930s. This indispensable item has changed our lives. Today, all the hard work is done for us while we sit and relax.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 36 to 42.

          Most people go to a doctor in their own town or suburbs. But people in the Australian outback can’t get to a doctor quickly. The nearest doctor is sometimes hundreds of kilometers away so they have to call him on a two-way radio. This special doctor is called the “flying doctor”. He visits sick people by plane.

          When someone is sick, the doctor has to fly to the person’s home. His plane lands on a flat piece of ground near the person’s house. Sometimes the doctor has to take the patient to hospital. Flying doctors take about 8,600 people to hospital each year.

          However, most of the time the person isn’t very sick, and the doctor doesn’t have to visit. He can give advice on the radio from the office at the flying doctor center. He can tell the patient to use some medicine from a special medicine chest. There is one of these chests in every home in the outback. Each bottle, tube and packet in the chest has a number. The doctor often says something like this, “Take two tablets from bottle number 5 every four hours.”

          A man called John Flynn started the Royal Flying Doctor service in 1927. He had only one plane. Today there are 14 flying-doctor centers, 29 planes, 14 full-time doctors and several part- time doctors, nurses and dentists.

Which happens first?

A. The doctor flies to the sick person’s home

B. The sick person or his family calls the doctor on a two-way radio

C. The plane lands near the patient’s house

D. The doctor treats the sick person on a two-way radio
