Sweden can be one of the first countries to stop using cash. In most cities, buses do not take any
cash. Instead, you pay for your ticket by card or mobile phone before you get on. Some businesses
only take cards and there are banks which do not deal with any notes or coins.
In a cashless society, you do not need to worry about having enough change for the bus. You will
feel much more secure as well. Statistics show that since the decrease in the cash economy, there is not as much crime in Sweden.
However, not all Swedes like the idea. Elderly people complain much about the problems of
paying by card. Small businesses are also unhappy because they have to pay a little money to the bank
each time somebody pays them using a card.
It is not just richer countries that are becoming cashless. Many countries in the developing world
have found that mobile phones are perfect for transferring money. For example, in Kenya, only a few
people have a bank account, but lots of Kenyans have a mobile phone. Now people can pay for things
in shops, pay their bills and their children's school fees, and receive their salary with their phones.
Kenya has led a revolution in mobile banking. (Adapted from Navigate)

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions from 44 to 50.
It is often held that technology in general does little to help family relationships as, in many cases,
family members are more interested in their smartphones and the TV than they are in each other.
Before smartphones, the TV was blamed the most for breakdowns in communication between parents
and children. It was argued that ‘the box’ stopped them from talking to each other, and clashes
between family members over what programmes to watch created barriers and caused resentment.
However, TV programmes can be both informative and entertaining. They often provide topics for
family members to discuss, bringing them closer together rather than driving them further apart. What
is more, twenty-first century families do not need to watch the same programme at the same time. The
