Read the passage and answer the following questions: ( 4 x 0.5 = 2 )
The use of computers and the Internet allows people to work at home instead of traveling to work. For example, a journalist who
lives in a remote part of the world still gets in his articles on time for the next day's newspapers. The Internet allows businesses to
communicate with customers and workers in any part of the world for the cost of a local telephone call. E-mail allows users to send
documents, pictures and other data from one part of the world to another in at least 5 minutes. New computer programs allow two
users in different parts of the world to work on the same document at the same time. The Internet is providing a lot of new business
opportunities. Some businesses are advertising their products on the Internet - finding new customers and making more job
opportunities. People can use the Internet to do shopping. This saves a lot of time. It is possible to use the Internet for education -

students may connect with their teachers from home to send or receive e. mail or talk a problem through "on-line" rather than attend a
class.
1. What does the use of computers and the Internet allow people to do?
A. B. C. D.
2. How long does it take users to send their data to another?
A. B. C. D.
3. What does the Internet help business?
4. Can people use the Internet for education?
