Reading
6. Read the text and answer the questions.
In the past, technology and progress was very slow. People

‘invented’ farming 12,000 years ago, but it took 8,000 years for the
idea to go around the world. Then, about 3,500 years ago, people
called ‘potters’ used round wheels to turn and make plates. But it
took hundreds of years before some clever person thought, ‘if we
join two wheels together and make them bigger, we can use them
to move things’.
In the last few centuries, things have begun to move faster. Take a
20th-century invention like the aeroplane, for example. The first
aeroplane flight on 17 December 1903 only lasted 12 seconds,
and the plane only went 37 metres. It can’t have been very
exciting to watch, but that flight changed the world. Sixteen years
later, the first plane flew across the Atlantic, and only fifty years
after that, men walked on the moon. Technology is now changing
our world faster and faster. So what will the future bring?
One of the first changes will be the materials we use. Scientists
have just invented an amazing new material called graphene, and
soon we will use it to do lots of things. With graphene batteries in
your mobile, it will take a few seconds to charge your phone or
download a thousand gigabytes of information! Today, we make
most products in factories, but in the future, scientists will invent
living materials. Then we won’t make things like cars and furniture
in factories − we will grow them!
Thirty years ago, people couldn’t have imagined social media like
Twitter and Facebook. Now we can’t live without them. But this is
only the start. Right now, scientists are putting microchips in some
disabled people’s brains, to help them see, hear and communicate
better. In the future, we may all use these technologies. We won’t
need smartphones to use social media or search the internet
because the internet will be in our heads!
More people will go into space in the future, too. Space tourism
has already begun, and a hundred years from now, there may be
many hotels in space. One day, we may get most of our energy
from space too. In 1941, the writer Isaac Asimov wrote about a
solar power station in space. People laughed at his idea then, but
we should have listened to him. Today, many people are trying to
develop a space solar power station. After all, the sun always
shines above the clouds!

E. Because he thinks it’s the most important invention in history.
F. To show how an invention developed quickly.
G. To explain why transport changed in the 20th century.

H. We can’t know what the most popular social media will be.
