burning fossil fuels we should be concentrating on more economical uses of electricity, because electricity
can be produced from any sources of energy. If we didn’t waste so much energy, our resources would last
longer. We can save more energy by conservation than we can produce for the same money. Unless we do
research on solar energy, wind power, tidal power, hydroelectric plants … our fossil fuels will run out and
we’ll all freeze or starve to death. Several countries are spending much more time and money on research
because the energy from the sun, the waves, and the winds last forever. We won’t really survive unless we
start working on cleaner and safer sources of energy.

choose the correct answers (A, B, C or D) for questions 17 and 18. (1.5 pt)
There is a list of interesting jobs that we'll never have again, and a town crier is, of course, on
the list. It’s been a long time since town criers worked professionally, so there are not many people
knowing who town criers were. Today we can only see them in the movies or at some old tourist sites.
Before newspapers were invented, a town crier, who was usually an older gentleman with a booming
voice, always dressed officially and had a little bell which he carried with him always. His job was to go
through city streets ringing the bell and shouting the latest news as he was walking.
The occupation of the town crier was quickly replaced by radio, television, texting, internet, and
all the marvels of modern technology. Today this occupation exists only for entertaining purposes and
as local folklore. Competitions for the best town criers are still being held in some parts of the world like
America, Australia, Canada and England.
13. A lot of people now work as professional town criers.
 14. Today people can get to know about town criers in films and at some tourist attractions.
15. Town criers had worked professionally before mass media were invented.
16. Town criers used to wear casual clothes when working.
17. What is the passage mainly about?
A. The birth of town crying B. Town crying, an extinct job
C. Town criers and modern technology D. Town crying for entertainment
18. It can be inferred from the passage that town criers used to ________.
A. live in a town square. B. be waited and welcomed to town squares.
C. make loud deep sounds. D. take part in competitions in western
countries.
