1 Most people think of computers are very modern inventions, products of we new
2 technological age. But actually the idea for an computer had been worked out over 2
3 centuries ago by a men called Charles Babbage. Babbge was born in 1791 and grew up

5 which he called "engines". But though the fact that he started building some of these,
6 he never finished some of them. Over the years, people have argued whether his
7 machines would ever work. Recently, however, Science Museum in London has
8 finished building engine based on of the Babbage's designs. It has been taken 6 years

Museum to remind people of Babbage's work.

V. Read the passage and choose the best answer from A, B, C or D.

Isn’t it amazing how much time we spend talking about food?, “Have you ever eaten......?”,
“What did you have for lunch?” and so on. And yet when you travel from one country to
another, you find that people have quite different feelings about food. People often feel that what
they eat is normal, and that what other people eat is strange or silly.
In most part of Asia, for example, no meal is complete without rice. In England, people eat
potatoes every day. In the Middle East, bread is the main part of every meal. Eating, like so many
things we do, becomes a habit which is difficult to change. Americans like to drink a lot of orange
juice and coffee. The English drink tea four or five times every day. Australians drink a large
amount of beer, and the French drink wine every day.
The sort of meat people like to eat also differs from one country to another. Horse meat is
thought to be delicious in France. In Hong Kong, some people enjoy eating snakes. Newzelanders
sheep meat, but they never eat goat meat. The Japanese don’t like eat sheep meat because of its
smell, but they enjoy raw fish. So it seems that although eating is a topic that we can talk about for
hours, there is little common sense in what we say about it. People everywhere enjoy eating what
they have always been eating, and there is very little we can do to change our eating habits.
1. The text is mainly about _____________________.
A. people’s attitude to food B. the importance of meat
C. strange dishes in the world D. food and life
2. The writer think that _____________________.
A. people eat only what is normal to everybody
B. people often change their feelings about food
C. people have different opinions about food
D. people like eating different food as they travel from one country to another.
3. In many Asian countries _____________________.
A. people almost always have rice in their meal B. rice is a perfect food
C. rice is included in every menu D. rice is completely eaten
