C- READING COMPREHENSION I.Read the passage and decide if the statements are true (T) or false(F) * Passage1: Alexander Graham Bell is widely known as the inventor of the first telephone. He was born on March 3rd , 1847 in Edinburgh, Scotland. When he was 23, Bell emigrated to Canada with his parents and the next year moved to the United States to teach deaf-mute children. He took great interest in transmitting the human voice. With his colleague Thomas Watson, Bell worked very hard on the experimentation to invent devices such as the harmonic telegraph ( used to send multiple messages over a single wire) and phonautograph ( used to draw the shape of the sound waves) . The first telephone communication was said to have happened between Bell and Watson in 1876 while Bell was at one end of the line, and Watson worked on the telephone in another room. The first transmitted words were, ‘Mr. Watson, come here. I want to see you.’ T F 1. Alexander Graham Bell is Scottish. 2. He spent all his life in Canada. 3. He worked with the deaf when he moved to the USA. 4. He wanted to create a device that can transmit human voice. 5. He was able to succeed right from the first experiment. 6. He worked on his inventions all by himself. * Passage2: A mobile phone, also known as a cell phone, is one that we can use to make telephone calls to anyone from a great distance via a radio link. Apart from telephony, modern smart phones also support a number of other services including text messaging, Internet access, gaming, photography, and many business applications. 3
4. The first cell phone weighed about 2 kilograms and was demonstrated in 1973 by Dr. Martin Cooper and John F.Mitchell of Motorola. Ten years later, in 1983, the first model of cell phone went on sale to the public. By 2011, over six billion people, 87% of the world’s population, used mobile networks. In spite of the many advantages a cell phone has, it also brings about several problems that users should be aware of. Mobile phone radiation is believed to be harmful to human health. Some recent studies have found an association between cell phone use and certain kinds of brain disease. Another serious problem can be privacy and tracking. Once users have the phone on, they can be interrupted in many ways, and they can also be tracked by location data. T F 1. A cell phone is like a cordless phone that is used within a short range of a base station. 2. A cell phone can’t operate without a radio link. 3. The first cell phone was on sale a decade after the first cell phone was demonstrated. 4. A mobile phone can be harmful to users due to its radiation. 5.
