Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each question. In the 1960s, it took pop and rock groups one or two days to record their songs. Nowadays, it can take months and months. Many rock groups begin by recording only one instrument, for example, the voice. Then they record other instruments – electric piano, synthesiser, guitars, drums and so on. Next, they might use a computer to add special effects. Finally, they ‘mix’ all the instruments until they get the sound that they want. This means that a CD or cassette will always sound very different from a live concert. Music engineers have developed a new computer programme that will change the future of music. A computer can analyse a singer's voice. Then if you give the computer the lyrics and music of a song, the computer can 'sing' it in that voice. This means that a singer only needs to record one song and the computer can then sing other songs in the singer's own voice. Singers can sing new songs many years after they have died. Most of us listen to music for pleasure, but for the record companies, music is a product, the same as soap powder. When a record company finds a new group (or 'band'), they first try to develop the band's 'profile'. They will try to create an 'image' for the band that they think will attract young people. Instead of allowing the band's full artistic freedom, they will often tell the band what they should wear, what they should say and how they should sing and play. In recent year, many rock groups have started their own record companies because they say that the big companies are too commercial. Today, to record songs, it takes ____.

According to experts, which types of devices are expected to be sold as much as mobile phones?

By 2025, the number of internet users and phone users will rise to double the number today. The experts also suggest that other devices such as smartwatches and smart wearables will be sold as much as mobile phones. Technology has become so popular that the industry experts also anticipate that every consumer will own two mobile phones or more in the future.

Many concepts are introduced in the glimpse of how mobile phones might take their future developments. Many features that have been put out are holographic displays, flexible frames, educational tools, and most importantly, eco-friendly smartphones. All of these are related to mobile technology but they have not been accomplished to the last level. People expect some of the better versions from these kinds of features that come along with each mobile phone. Another topic can be the design of a mobile phone as it is always similar for almost all phones. We have rectangular mobile phones today. We can also expect them to come along in different shapes and sizes which are unusual today. In the future, we can expect more variety in design as well as the features inside each mobile phone.

The smartphone is a companion device that is inspired by human behaviours. It is designed to help the users connect with their mobile phones physically as well as emotionally. You can seriously notice how your mood changes when you have a good mobile phone and when your mobile phone is not working. There are many cool features that come along with many mobile phones such as the camera or some simple features such as setting reminders or alarms. Having multiple devices to help you is eliminated by having one mobile phone.

indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.

Volunteering, especially when it’s done on a regular basis, can help you make new acquaintances. Whether you volunteer for an organisation on a daily, weekly or monthly basis, over time you will develop strong relationships, typically with other volunteers and staff members.

Regular volunteers may get these benefits to a greater degree than people who volunteer infrequently. Consider this: Handing out water at a fundraising run in April and then helping in an orphanage in November is surely easier to squeeze into a activities aren’t as likely to help you build relationships over time.

There are benefits and drawbacks to every type of volunteering. For example, volunteering once in a while is often easy to schedule and is something families or busy schedule than volunteering regularly in an office. But those more convenient friends can do together. However, volunteers who take part in occasionally may not feel very connected to the mission of the nonprofits they support or get to know many other volunteers.

Regularly volunteering, on the other hand, makes it more likely that you will develop a deep relationship to the cause and to other staff and volunteers. However, this kind of volunteering requires a longer-term and bigger time commitment. It can also become frustrating if the volunteer’s duties aren’t a good fit for them.

Still, if people are willing to work toward finding the right fit and making time in their schedules, volunteering on a regular basis can help them get more out of their efforts, including new friends and acquaintances.
