Then Steve Case, a former Pizza Hut marketing executive arrived and took the company online, innovative, fast moving, and user - friendly, American online appeals to people who want to search the Internet, but who do not have a lot of experience.

Recently, American Online (or AOL, as it calls itself) joined with Time Warn – a multi - million dollar movie and magazine company - to create a multi media giant.
Now, AOL has begun to expand abroad. In many European countries, including the United Kingdom, it is hard to buy a computer magazine that does not have a free AOL introductory offer. The company also puts advertisements onto the television, and employs people to hand out its free introductory disks at places like train stations. As the Internet gets faster, AOL is changing.

III. Read the following passage and circle the letter (A, B, C or D) to indicate the correct answer to each of the following questions. (2.0 points)
No one can calculate the quantity of solid waste that has been dumped in the world’s oceans, but the total certainly exceeds many millions of tons. For example, from 1880 to 1895, 75 percent of the solid waste from New York City was dumped untreated into the Atlantic Ocean. Although it is now prohibited by law, the dumping of solid waste, including wastewater sludge, industrial waste, and high - level radioactive waste were common in the United States until 1970. Cruise ships and huge floating fishing factories still regularly dispose of their solid waste products directly into the ocean.
The earth naturally recycles water and refreshes the land in what is called the hydrological cycle. The hydrological cycle not only renews the supply of water, but cleans it as well. The process begins as heat from the sun causes sea water, 97 percent of the earth’s total water reserve, to evaporate and form clouds. Because water evaporates at lower temperatures than most pollutants, the water vapor that rises from the seas is relatively pure and free of the contaminants, which are left behind. Next, water returns to us as rain, which drains into streams and rivers and rushes toward the sea.
Chemicals, petroleum products, and other dangerous substances such as radioactive materials remain in the ocean, polluting it permanently. The polluted ocean water kills fish or makes them dangerous to eat, posing health problems for those who consume them. It kills the tiny sea creatures that are the source of food for larger fish, sharks, and whales. It also spoils a source of great beauty and pleasure when some solid waste is thrown onto beaches during storms. Discharged petroleum products are frequently found on beaches and they not only ruin the beach, the petroleum residue kills hundreds of shore birds. Nonpoint pollutants are dumped into lakes, rivers, and streams that may be far away from any ocean. However, these pollutants flow, eventually, into the oceans. They can come from a variety of sources, from road salt to agricultural pesticides. One source of nonpoint pollution is runoff from farming, including fertilizers, manure, and pesticides. Another source is industrial runoff, including heavy metals, phosphorous, and many other chemicals. Urban runoff (oils, salts, various chemicals) and atmospheric fallout of airborne pollution are other sources of nonpoint pollutants that reach the oceans. This includes water and waste from sinks, toilets, washing machines and bathtubs. The problem with this type of waste is that it provides massive amounts of nutrients for water plants such as algae, so that they grow rapidly. This sudden growth causes concentration or algae blooms, which use up the oxygen in the water. As the oxygen level of the water declines, many organisms suffer and die, and the ocean ecosystem is radically altered. This can be prevented by the installation of waste treatment plants that prevent waste from entering the sea, but such facilities do not exist in many poorer countries.

The loss of the jobs and persistent unemployment in the industrial countries is due mainly to changes in technology. It is thought to be misleading to blame job losses on the shift of corporations from the industrial countries to the Third World.
The present technological developments have been compared to a Third Industrial Revolution. The first coming in the 19th century, was characterized by the steam engine and the use of coal. In the 1920s the second emerged with the use of oil and the electrodynamo. The third, the present one, is driven by computers, biotechnology and information technology.
However, there can be seen weaknesses in the newest of industrial revolutions. The technology is advancing so fast and productivity is rising so fast that we are left with a big problem.. Because of the loss in jobs, caused largely by this new, technology, there will not be enough people with money to buy all these products.
Technology as definitely enhanced our standard of living, even our quality of life. But as the capacity to produce expands and the lack of purchasing power and consequent demand diminish, there can be overproduction and recession, and what happens to our standard of living?
1. What is the main point the author is making?
A. That the industrial countries have more unemployment than the Third World.
B. That technology is the main cause of unemployment.
C. That corporations have shifted to the Third World.
D. That the present situation is like in the Industrial Revolution.
2. Which of the following is not a characteristic of one of the industrial revolutions?
A. The use of oil B. The use of computer
C. The use of electricity D. The use of coal
3. What is stated as being the main weakness of the Third Industrial Revolution?
A. There will be too few people who can afford to buy things.
B. There won't be enough products for everyone to buy.
C. There will not be enough money around.
D. There will be too many machines in the factories.

Part 6: Read the passage and then answer the questions below.
Many countries face a somewhat more serious economic problem in the form of an unfavorable trade balance with other nations. Such an imbalance exists when the total value of a country’s imports exceeds that if its exports. For example, if a country buys $25 billion in products from other countries, yet sells only $10 billion of its own products oversea, its trade deficit is $15 billion. Many underdeveloped nations find themselves in this position because they lack natural resources or the industrial capacity to use these resources, and thus have to import raw materials or manufactured goods.
One effect of a trade deficit is the flow of currency out of a country. In the case of an underdeveloped nation, this can cause many financial difficulties, including failure to meet debt payments and obstacles to creation of an industrial base. Even in the case of a fully developed nation such as the United States, a large trade deficit is reason for alarm. American products, made by wellpaid workers in U.S. industries, cost more to produce than those made in places like Asia, where labor and material costs are much lover. Money spent on foreign products is money not spent on items produced by domestic industries.
1. What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. Several worldwide economic problems
B. The causes and consequences of trade deficits
C. Lack of resources in underdeveloped countries
D. The value of exports versus imports.
2. According to the passage, when does a trade imbalance occur?
A. A country has a serious economic problem
B. A country sells more products overseas than its imports.
C. The value of the products a country imports is greater than the value of the products it exports.
D. A country cannot develop its natural resources.
3. The passage states that many underdeveloped nations have traded deficits because
A. they find themselves in this position
B. they export most of their natural resources to other nations
C. they have to import most of their natural resources or manufactured products
D. they have failed to meet debt payments
4. Which of the following is not mentioned as a possible cause of a trade imbalance?
A. Low labor and material costs in Asian countries.
B. A lack of natural resources.
C. An underdeveloped industrial base.
D. The high cost of exported items.
5. It can be inferred from this passage that American industries
A. do not pay their workers sufficient wages
B. are hurt by trade imbalance
C. import labor and material from overseas
D. provide a strong industrial base that prevents a trade deficit.
