IX. Read the passage carefully, then do the tasks. Self-driving cars have the potential to make travelling easier and safer than ever. Getting around an unfamiliar city could be as simple as opening an app and hailing an autonomous car. Technically speaking, self-driving cars are already on the road, thanks to a number of brands - but they're not legally allowed to fully drive themselves yet on public roads, and may not be for a while yet. There is a long list of companies working on self-driving vehicles, from traditional car manufacturers such as BMW, Audi and Volkswagen, to tech companies such as Uber, Tesla and Google. The most notable company in this field is Tesla, which is constantly rolling out software and hardware updates for its cars to improve their autonomous capabilities little by little. Its Autopilot system can already drive a car better than a human, Tesla says, though right now you're only legally allowed to use it to help you stay in lanes on a motorway, change lanes when needed, and adjust the car's speed based on the traffic around it. A. Match the synonyms. 1. potential a. driverless 2. unfamiliar b. launch 3. autonomous c. change 4. notable d. strange 5. roll out e. possibility 6. adjust f. famous B. Decide if the following statements are true (T) or false (F) 1. Self-driving cars make it easier for people to get around a strange city. 2. Self-driving cars can fully drive themselves on public roads right now. 3. Lots of companies are working towards developing self-driving vehicles. 4. Tesla constantly updates its car's software to improve self-driving capabilities. 5.Tesla says that its Autopilot system is better than a human driver. 6. Right now, Tesla Autopilot can only be used to change lanes on the highway.

Read the passage below and decide whether the statements are TRUE or FALSE?

Many environmental problems seem so big that only governments, local authorities or big companies can deal with them. One example is global warming. We need government action to reduce emissions from coal and oil burning power stations and to develop safer sources of power. These require tough regulations and huge investment. The loss of forests and other habitat is another problem. How can we as individuals stop the destruction of the Amazon or Indonesian rain forests? Yet another example is waste. When people live in cities, they may not be able store or recycle waste, so huge landfills or incinerators are needed.

However, as consumers, we are the ones responsible for all these problems. First of all, we all need to consume less power. We need to turn off lights, replace inefficient bulbs with low-power ones, and not leave equipment on standby. Secondly, we need to control our surging populations. Each of us can make a decision regarding family size. This has a huge impact on the size of our cities and the need for food and more agricultural land. In addition, we need to consider eating less meat and more vegetables and fruit, in order to reduce the amount of land needed for meat. Generally, the main step we need to take is to live more simply. We need to reduce our consumption, recycle, and reuse.

Question: The government’s role is to reduce emissions and develop safer sources of energy.

A. True

B. False
