1. Read the text and choose the best heading for it.

   A growing number of teenagers learn programming outside school. Online courses are cheap and let students work at their own speed. Teachers notice that those who code regularly are better at solving logical problems. Still, specialists advise not to spend more than two hours a day at the computer, because rest is also important.

   • Learning to code
   • Cycling to work
   • Lost in the mountains
   • A young inventor
2. Read the text and decide whether the statement is True, False or Not stated: «Printed books are more expensive than e-books.»

   Many young people now read books on tablets. E-books are light, and one device can hold hundreds of titles. However, a recent study shows that readers remember plots better when they read printed books. Libraries report that the number of printed books borrowed has not fallen, although many readers also use electronic copies.

   • True
   • False
   • Not stated
3. Read the text and answer the question: Why do some cyclists use buses in winter?

   More people in our city now go to work by bike. The council has built new lanes, and companies offer showers and safe places to leave bikes. A survey shows that cyclists arrive at work in a better mood than drivers. The only problem is winter: when roads are icy, many people return to buses.

   • Companies forbid bikes.
   • Buses become cheaper.
   • Bike lanes are closed.

5. Read the text and decide whether the statement is True, False or Not stated: «The garden is situated in front of the sports hall.»

   Pupils at Greenfield School grow vegetables in a garden behind the sports hall. Every class has its own bed and a timetable for watering. In autumn the children cook soup from the harvest and share it with the school staff.

   • True
   • False
   • Not stated
6. Read the text and answer the question: What do experts warn about?

   Beekeeping on city rooftops has become popular in recent years. Flowers in parks and gardens give bees enough food, and cities often have fewer pesticides than farms. A typical rooftop hive produces about twenty kilograms of honey a year. Experts warn, though, that too many hives in one area can leave wild bees without enough flowers.

   • Bees cannot live on high roofs.
   • Too many hives may harm wild bees.
   • City honey is dangerous to eat.
   • Parks use more pesticides than farms.
7. Read the text and choose the best heading for it.

   Scientists have found that sleep helps the brain to remember new information. In one experiment, students who slept eight hours after studying remembered more words than those who stayed awake all night. Researchers also say that short naps in the afternoon can improve concentration. They add that sleeping with a phone beside the bed may make it harder to fall asleep.

   • Sleep and memory
   • Learning to code
   • Lost in the mountains
   • A young inventor
8. Read the text and decide whether the statement is True, False or Not stated: «Most people who live in converted factories work in art studios.»

   In many European cities, empty factories are being turned into homes, cafés and art studios. Architects say it is cheaper to reuse an old building than to demolish it and build a new one. Residents often like the result because the brick walls and large windows give the places a special character. However, some neighbours complain that rents in the area rise quickly once the old factory becomes fashionable.

   • True
   • False
   • Not stated
