Section B Passages

Well, we all know, carrying shopping around is very tiring, so we considered a number of ideas to avoid that. We thought of hiring out small electrically driven cars to shoppers, but we are faced with problems of space. There just isn’t enough room. We thought about those moving walkways, like the ones you see at the airports, but the whole center required to be redesigned. We also thought of a new technology, with which, you don’t need to carry your heavy shopping around with you all day. When you want to go home, our computer system automatically sends everything you’ve bought to your exit point, and you pick it up there.

Section C Longer Conversations

On September 17, 2011, a group of college students went to square near Wall Street in New York, to show their anger at the US government. Later this anger has become the “Occupy Wall Street” movement across the country.

Most protests have been peaceful, but some protesters have been taken to prison. On October 1, for example, the New York group stood across the Brooklyn Bridge to stop people and cars from crossing. The police arrested more than 700 protesters.
The protesters spend most of their time in the square, sleeping on airbeds and holding meetings to discuss plans. They eat food that people have given them for free and run their laptops from small generators.

The movement has the support of many unions, including the United Federation of Teachers and the Transport Workers Union Local 100. On October 6, American President Barack Obama voiced his support for the movement. “The American people understand that not everybody has been following the rules, and Wall Street is an example of that,” he said.

14. How many people were taken by the police on October 1? (D)
