II - Read the passage and decide whether the statements are True (T) or False (F). Traffic
congestion is when vehicles travel at slower speeds because there are more vehicles than the road can
handle. This makes trip times longer, and increases queueing. This is also known as a traffic jam.
Congestion may result from a decrease in capacity, for example, accidents on the road or roads being
closed. Bad road arrangements can also restrict the road's capacity. Increased traffic, for example by
many cars leaving a school at the same time, can also cause congestion. Where congestion is common,
for example, because of commuting in big cities, several methods are used to relieve it. Cars may be
banned in certain districts or certain times, or made to carry passengers or pay a fee, or people may
use public transport, such as metro or subway systems, which travel independently and are not
affected by traffic jams.

Read the following text and choose the best answer for the questions below.
Large cities often have problems that small towns and rural areas do not have. Two of the biggest
problems are heavy traffic and the pollution that cars create. Of course, traffic problems and pollution
are not only found in big cities. However, the higher populations and larger number of cars on the
roads in cities can make the problems happen more often and with more noticeable effects.
One of the most common traffic problems the large cities have is congestion. As the population of a
city increases, so does the number of cars on the road. Cities cannot always improve the number and
size of their roads and highways to keep up with the number of cars. The result is traffic congestion, or
traffic jams.
When traffic jams happen, cars that are stuck in the congestion continue to run their engines. This
creates pollution and is a big problem. Pollution causes health problems for the people in cities and
also hurts the environment.
1. Where do traffic problems and pollution frequently happen?
A. Small towns B. Rural areas C. Big cities D. Remote villages
2. According to the passage, what causes traffic congestion in big cities?
A. A lot of city highways. B. Too many cars on the roads.
C. Careless drivers. D. Less traffic signs on the streets.
3. The high number of cars is caused by _________.
A. urban planning B. traffic congestion
C. environmental pollution D. the population
4. The highway and road network is ________ of meeting the requirement of increasing number of
vehicles.
A. full B. aware C. incapable D. uncertain
5. Which of the following is NOT true?
A. Only big cities have the problem of pollution.
B. Traffic jams cause pollution
C. Pollution is a major problem in big cities.
D. Pollution causes health and environmental problems.
Exercise 8: Read the following text and decide whether the following statements are true or false.
Have you ever read Alice In Wonderland, by Lewis Carol? I did and I really like it. It’s an
adventure story full of magic and danger. Yesterday I saw Tim Burton’s version of the film at the
cinema.
This story is about Alice, who is now a teenager. A man wants to marry her, but she runs away
and falls down a rabbit hole. She travels to Wonderland, which she has visited before as a child, and
meets a lot of amazing characters on her adventures.
There are a lot of good special effects in the film. The Red Queen, played by Helena Bonham
Carter, is very scary, and Johnny Depp is brilliant as the Mad Hatter. He has acted in a lot of films
before but this is my favourite one. Mia Waslkowska is good as Alice; this is her first big film and I
think she’s going to become a big star!
Overall, I think this is a good film for teenagers, but it’s a bit long. You should see it if you like
fantasy and adventure, but don’t go if you like romances: it’s not a love story.
