Bitcoins are a form of virtual currency In other words, they are a type of money that does not exist in the actual world However, they can be used to purchase actual products and services from real companies
The bitcoin system was created in 2009 by an enigmatic person named Satoshi Nakamoto In fact, no one is sure if Satoshi Nakamoto is an actual person or a group of people Bitcoins are designed to serve as an alternative to national currencies, such as dollars and euros They can be used to pay for things online instead of cash or credit cards When bitcoins are transferred from a buyer to a seller, the transaction is recorded in a public database
Governments are concerned that bitcoins can easily be stolen by hackers It has dawned on them that they might be used for illegal purposes For example, stolen goods could be purchased without the government’s knowledge Although more and more companies are beginning to accept bitcoins, the percentage of purchases made using bitcoins is minuscule compared to other online payment methods, such as credit cards Instead, many bitcoin owners simply keep them as an investment since they believe their bitcoins will be more valuable in the future
This may or may not be a wise approach Currently, the value of bitcoins is fluctuating wildly, especially when compared to highly stable national currencies Bitcoin investors are gambling on the hope that as this high-tech money becomes more widely accepted, its value will soar
(Adapted from: https://www.digitalcommerce360.com/) Question 38 What is the passage mainly about?
A A way of doing business in the virtual world B The future of bitcoins in the real world C An alternative to bitcoins created by Nakamoto D A new kind of currency in the virtual world Question 39 Why are bitcoins of great concern to governments?
A Because most of bitcoin owners are hackers
B Because bitcoins may be used in illegal transactions C Because the value of bitcoins is fluctuating wildly
D Because bitcoins will eventually replace national currencies Question 40 The word “they” in paragraph refers to
A dollars B euros C bitcoins D things
Question 41 The word “minuscule” in paragraph is closest in meaning to A increasing B considerable C minimal D small Question 42 Which of the following is defined in the passage?
A Bitcoins B Credit cards C Public Databases D Transactions

Throughout the nineteenth century and into the twentieth, citizens of the United States maintained a bias against big cities Most lived on farms and in small towns and believed cities to be centers of corruption, crime, poverty, and moral degradation Their distrust was caused, in part, by a national ideology that proclaimed farming the greatest occupation and rural living superior to urban living This attitude prevailed even as the number of urban dwellers increased and cities became an essential feature of the national landscape Gradually, economic reality overcame ideology Thousands abandoned the precarious life on the farm for more secure and better paying jobs in the city But when these people migrated from the countryside, they carried their fears and suspicion with them These new urbanities, already convinced that cities were overwhelmed with great problems, eagerly embraced the progressive reforms that promised to bring order out of the chaos of the city
(5)operated by municipal governments, but the gas and electric networks were privately owned Reformers feared that the privately owned utility companies would charge exorbitant rates for these essential services and deliver them only to people who could afford them Some city and state governments responded by regulating the utility companies, but a number of cities began to supply these services themselves Proponents of these reforms argued that public ownership and regulation would insure widespread access to these utilities and guarantee a fair price
While some reforms focused on government and public behavior, others looked at the cities as a whole Civic leaders, convinced that physical environment influenced human behavior, argued that cities should develop master plans to guide their future growth and development City planning was nothing new, but the rapid industrialization and urban growth of the late nineteenth century took place without any consideration for order Urban renewal in the twentieth century followed several courses Some cities introduced plans to completely rebuild the city core Most other cities contented themselves with zoning plans for regulating future growth Certain parts of town were restricted to residential use, while others were set aside for industrial or commercial development
