Part Two: Reading Comprehension

Are big cities wonderful places? Are they terrible? There are different ideas about this. William H. Whyte writes books about cities. He is happy in a crowded city. He loves busy streets with many stores and many people. He likes the life in city parks and restaurants.

Many people don't like big cities. They see the large population of cities, and they are afraid. Many cities are growing very fast. They are "monster" cities. (A monster is a big, terrible thing.) In some countries, there aren't jobs in small towns. People go to cities to work; 300,000 people go to Sao Paulo, Brazil, every year. These cities are megalopolises. A megalopolis is a very large city. But now there is a new word in Englishmegacity. A megacity is a very, very large city. Mexico City is a megacity with a population of more than 20,000,000. Tokyo-Yokohama is another megacity, with almost 30,000,000 people.

There are problems in all cities. There are big problems in a megalopolis or megacity. In U.S. cities, there are many people with no jobs and no homes. The air is dirty. There are too many cars. A terrible problem is crime. Many people are afraid of crime.

Read the following passage and then answer the following questions:

Twenty years ago very few people used the Internet. Only scientists and people in the government knew about the Internet and how to use it. This is changing very fast. Now almost everyone knows about the Internet, and many people are online (using the Internet) every day. When people think about the Internet, they often think about information. But now, more and more, when people think about the Internet, they think about shopping.

Amazon.com was one of the first companies to try to sell products on the Internet. Jeff Bezos started the company. He was a successful vice-president of a company in New York. One day he had a vision of the future. He thought, "The World Wide Web is growing 2000% a year. It's going to continue to grow. Shopping is going to move to the Internet. People are going to shop online." He quit his good job and drove across the country to Seattle, Washington. There he started an online bookstore called Amazon.com. Bezos had very little money. The company began in a garage, and at first there were very few customers.

At the Amazon.com site, people can search for a book about a subject, find many different books about that subject, read what other people think about the books, order them by credit card, and get them in the mail in two days. This kind of bookstore was a new idea, but the business grew. In a few years, Amazon.com had 10 million customers and listed (sold) 18 million different items in categories including books, CDs, toys, electronics, videos, DVDs, home improvement products (things you use to fix up a house), software, and video games. Today you can buy anything from gourmet food to caskets at a "virtual shopping mall," that is, a group of stores all over the world that functions like a group of stores all in one place.

Are people going to shop online more and more? No one knows for sure. Online shopping is growing, but it may not make money for companies like Amazon.com. Jeff Bezos is a billionaire, but his billions of dollars are invested in the company; even after several years, Amazon.com was still not making a profit. If online shopping continues to grow, Bezos hopes his investment will produce real profits.

Families in almost every country are changing. In North Africa, in the past, many people lived in extended families. Fifty to a hundred people lived together in a group of houses. These were all family membersgrandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, children, and grandchildren. But now this traditional family is breaking into smaller groups.The traditional Japanese family was also an extended familya son, his parents, his wife, his children, and his unmarried brothers and sisters. They lived together in his parents' home. But this tradition is changing. Now most adults do not live with their parents. They have new problems. Men and women spend a lot of time at work. They don't spend a lot of time together as a family. This can be very difficult.In Europe, in traditional families, the woman stayed home with the children and the man had a job. But families all over Europe are changing. The number of divorces is going up. The number of single-parent families is going up too. In Sweden, more than 40 percent (40%) of all children have parents that are not married. More and more countries are recognizing gay partnerships and marriages. For example, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, the Netherlands, Hungary, and the U.S. state of Vermont all recognize these as legal unions. In much of Europe, many people live alone. In France, more than 26 percent of women between age thirty and thirty-four live alone, and more than 27 percent of men of the same age live alone.There are also big changes in Quebec, Canada. In 1965, a traditional family was important. Almost 90 percent of men and 93.5 percent of women were married. But in 1985, only 49 percent of men and 51.7 percent of women were married!

Read the following passage and then answer the following questions:

One of the easiest and cheapest ways to help your health is just to sleep eight hours or more every night, but more and more people in the world are not sleeping enough. According to the World Health Organization, over half the people in the world may be sleep-deprived. The result of this is not just a lot of tired people; in the US alone, sleepy drivers cause at least 100,000 car crashes and 1,500 deaths a year. Problems with sleep can also cause mental problems, as well as medical problems such as high blood pressure, diabetes, thyroid problems, and heart problems."Anything that slows down work is a waste," said Thomas Edison, the inventor of the light bulb. After the invention of the light bulb, he predicted that work days could be increased to 24 hours a day. American culture values work and often doesn't value sleep; in fact, people who sleep a lot are often called "lazy." Many famous business and political leaders say proudly, "I only have time to sleep 4 or 5 hours a night." Students, especially college students, often sleep only a few hours a night. They often say, "I'm used to sleeping only a little."But, according to experts, sleep is like money. If you sleep only 5 hours a day, you don't "get used to it," but instead, build up a "sleep deficit." "It's like a credit card," says Dr. James Maas, the author of Power Sleep. "You are only borrowing time. You always have to pay it back." The more hours you don't sleep, the more hours you should sleep to "pay back" the hours on your "sleep credit card." For example, if you sleep 4 hours on Monday and then sleep 8 hours on Tuesday, on Wednesday you will still have a "sleep deficit" of 4 hours. This deficit can continue for months or even years. People with a "sleep deficit" are sleep-deprived; driving and making decisions can be dangerous for these people.

Stanley Coren's research showed that when people sleep 10 hours, they do better on tests of mental ability and mood. Research also shows that when people sleep in special rooms without clocks or windows, they usually sleep 9 or 10 hours. This probably means most people should sleep 9 or 10 hours every night. If this is true, even more than half the people in the world may be running a "sleep deficit." You didn't do your homework last night? Maybe you can tell your teacher that you were working hard on your sleep deficit.

Winston Churchill, the famous leader of England during World War II, worked late at night, but he also often took naps (short sleeps) during the day. He knew sleep was important. He once said, "Don't think you will be doing less work because you sleep during the day That's a foolish idea held by people who have no imagination. You will be able to do more.".

Marriage is often not easy. Maybe a man and a woman love or like each other, but they argue. They get angry. Later they apologize, but it happens again and again. What's the problem? Are men! and women really very different?

Deborah Tannen says yes, men and women are very different. Tannen teaches at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C. She writes books about the ways people talk. She believes that men and women talkand thinkin different ways. She tells about some differences in her book, You Just Don't Understand.

The differences, Tannen says, begin when men and women are children. Very young boys and girls are similar to each other. In other words, they like many of the same things and play in the same ways. They aren't very different. But then there is a change. When children in the United States are five or six years old, boys usually play in large groups. One boy gives orders. For example, he says, "Take this," "Go over there," and "Be on this team." He is the leader. Boys also brag. In other words, they say good things about themselves. They do this to have a high positionplacein the hierarchy, in other words, the system from low to high. Position in the group is important to boys.

Girls in the United States usually play in small groups or with one other girl. A girl's "best friend"her very, very good friendis important to her. Girls don't often give orders; they give suggestions. For example, they say, "Let's go over there," "Maybe we should do this," and "Do you want to play with that?" Girls don't usually have a leader, and they don't often brag. Everyone has an equal position.

Boys and girls play in different ways, too. Much of the time, little girls sit together and talk. They have conversations. Little boys are usually active; they do things. When children grow up, nothing really changes.

Many people believe that women talk more than men do. According to Deborah Tannen, this isn't exactly true. She says women talk more than men only in private situationsat home, with family, or with a few friends. In public situationsin other words, in a big group or at work, men talk more. Tannen says that men and women often talk for different reasons. Men talk to give or get information. They also talk to get or keep a high position among other men. But for women, people and feelings are important. Women often talk to socialize and show interest and love. They also talk to keep their close relationships with friends and family.

Although a man and a woman might speak the same language, sometimes they don't understand each other. Men's talk and women's talk are almost two different languages. But maybe men and women can learn to understand each other if they understand the differences in speech.Circle the best answer:

No one really knows why we sleep. There are two theories, but a theory is only an idea or a guessscientists don't know if these theories are correct or not.One theory of sleep is called the "Repair Theory." This theory says that during the day we use many important chemicals in our bodies and brains. We need sleep to make new chemicals and repair and fix our bodies. One piece of evidence for this theory is that our bodies produce more of a growth hormone (a chemical that helps us grow) while we sleep.Another theory is called the "Adaptive Theory." This theory says that sleep evolved because it stopped early humans and animals from wasting energy and putting themselves in danger from the other animals that killed and ate them; in other words, sleep kept them safe and out of trouble. It was necessary for their survival.Whatever the reason for sleep, everyone sleeps and everyone dreams every night. Many times we don't remember our dreams, but we still dream. Like sleep, no one knows exactly why we dream or what dreams mean. There have been many theories about dreams throughout history. Many cultures believe that dreams can predict the futurethat they can tell us what is going to happen to us. Sigmund Freud and other psychologists and psychiatrists believe that dreams can tell us about our feelings and desires.However, some scientists now believe that dreams mean nothing at all dreams are caused by the electrical activity in our brains while we sleep. These scientists believe that nerve cells fire randomly and our brains try to make a story out of these meaningless patterns. These scientists say that dreams seem crazy and without meaning sometimes because they are crazy and without any meaning at all.Circle the best answer:
