    Read the following passage and mark the letter А, B, C, or D on your
    answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions
    from 1 to 10.

    One day, a middle-aged man asked a taxi to take him to see Chelsea play
    Arsenal at football.He told the driver “Stamford Bridge”, the name of Chelsea’s
    stadium, but he was delivered instead to the village of Stamford Bridge in
    Yorkshire. Of course, he missed the match.What had happened? With the Sat-
    Nav system in place, the driver in this story felt he did not need to know where
    he was going. He confidently outsourced the job of knowing this information to
    the Sat-Nav. Using an Internet search engine takes a broadband user less than
    asecond. And with smartphones at hand, people will be online almost all of the
    time.The same could be true of university education.

    Today, the average student seems not to value general knowledge. If


    asked a factual question, they will usually click on a search engine without a
    second thought. Actually knowing the fact and committing it to memory does
    not seem to be an issue; it’s the ease with which we can look it up.However,
    general knowledge has never been something that you acquire formally.
    Instead,we pick it up from all sorts of sources as we go along, often absorbing
    facts without realising.

    The question remains, then: is the Internet threatening general


    knowledge? When I put that to Moira Jones, expert in designing IQ tests, she
    referred me to the story of the Egyptian god Thoth. It goes-like this: Thoth
    offers writing as a gift to the king of Egypt, declaring it an “elixir of memory
    and wisdom.” But the king is horrified, and tells him: “This invention will
    induce forgetfulness in the souls of those who have learned it, because they will
    not need to exercise their memories, being able to rely on what is written.” Who
    wants to be a millionaire finalist David Swift, responding to the same question,
    recognises that there was a problem of young people saying: “I don’t need to
    know that”, but he is far more excited about the educational potential of the
    Internet. “There is so much more information out there, giving people
    opportunities to boost their general knowledge. After all, the Internet might just
    help us to forget more and more. But meanwhile, the continuing popularity of
    quizzes and game-shows shows us that general knowledge is strong enough to
    remain.
