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.
Look in the mirror—are you wearing glasses right now? Did you choose that particular pair of glasses because of their function or because of their design? Nowadays, we have many options to choose from
Glasses have come a long way since the time of their origin The first record of lenses used for
magnification appears in an Egyptian text from around the 5th century B.C Yet the first mention of eyeglasses
did not come until more than a millennium and a half later In 1306, a religious leader in Italy mentioned that
eyeglasses had been around for two decades From that, we can infer that they were invented around 1286 In
the 18th century, Benjamin Franklin developed the technology further when he created bifocals
In spite of advances like contact lenses and laser eye surgery, glasses remain popular today What will
be the next major leap in the evolution of glasses? Technology companies are researching ways to make glasses into wearable computers Perhaps these will one day replace smartphones Future glasses may have a function that is completely apart from correcting vision They may look like the glasses of the past, with a headband that
runs across your forehead and hooks behind each ear But instead of having lenses, they may hold a partially transparent screen in front of your eyes Using this screen, you may be able to make calls, browse the Internet,
and get directions In addition to a screen, future glasses may have an earpiece, speaker, and microphone, which
may allow you to control the device through speech If you actually need glasses to correct your vision,
however, you may have to hope that these futuristic features can be built into regular glasses
The glasses of the future sound very convenient, but it’s likely they will have some unforeseen side
effects It would be a good idea to study their impact before we start wearing screens in front of our eyes all the time

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.
The economic growth that many nations in Asia and increasingly Africa have experienced over the past couple of decades has transformed hundreds of millions of lives - almost entirely for the better But there's a
byproduct to that growth, one that's evident - or sometimes less than evident - in the smoggy, smelly skies
above cities like Beijing, New Delhi and Jakara Thanks to new cars and power plants, air pollution is bad and
getting worse in much of the world, and it's taking a major toll on global health.
How big? According to a new analysis published in the Lancet, more than 3.2 million people suffered deaths from air pollution in 2010, the largest number on record That's up from 800,000 in 2000 And it's a regional problem: 65% of those deaths occurred in Asia, where the air is choked by diesel soot from cars and trucks, as well as the song from power plants and the dust from endless urban construction In East Asia and China, 1.2 million people died, as well as another 712,000 in South Asia, including India For the first time ever, air pollution is on the world's top - 10 list of killers, and it's moving up the ranks faster than any other factor
So how can air pollution be so damaging? It is the very finest soot - so small that it roots deep within the lungs and then enters the bloodstream - that contributes to most of the public - health toll of air pollution including death Diesel soot, which can also cause cancer, is a major problem because it is concentrated in cities along transportation zones affecting overpopulated areas It is thought to contribute to half the deaths from air pollution in urban centers For example, 1 in 6 people in the US live near a diesel - pollution hot spot like a rail yard, port terminal or freeway
We also know that air pollution may be linked to other non-deadly diseases Fortunately in the U.S and other developed nations, urban air is for the most part cleaner than it was 30 or 40 years ago, thanks to regulations and new technologies like the catalytic converters that reduce automobile emissions Governments are also pushing to make air cleaner - see the White House's move last week to further tighten soot standards It's not perfect, but we've had much more success dealing with air pollution than climate change
Will developing nations like India eventually catch up? Hopefully - though the problem may get worse before it gets better The good news is that it doesn't take a major technological advance to improve urban air Switching from diesel fuel to unleaded helps, as do newer and cleaner cars which are less likely to send out pollutants Power plants - even ones that burn mineral fuels like coal - can be fitted with pollution - control equipment that, at a price, will greatly reduce smog and other pollutants
But the best solutions may involve urban design In the Guardian, John Vidal notes that Delhi now has
200 cars per 1,000 people, far more than much richer Asian cities like Hong Kong and Singapore Developing
Trang 5cities will almost certainly see an increase in car ownership as residents become wealthier - and that doesn't have to mean deadly air pollution Higher incomes should also lead to tougher environmental regulations, which is exactly what happened in the West We can only hope it happens before the death toll from bad air gets even higher
