many creations and discoveries in the last few centuries that have changed the world.
When people think of important inventions, they usually think of the car, the lightbulb, the phone and the
internet. (27)
, inventions don’t always have to be about technological advances. One of the first
inventions in history was stone tools, used for farming and building more than two million years ago. Before
that, people used to use their (28)
, but it was slow and tiring. Stone tools might sound
unimportant, but they helped give the idea for many more inventions to come, such as wooden boats,
clothing and paints. Many of these were invented in Africa. If you think that inventions were just used for
work and to make life easier, you might be (29) . Inventions have often also been about what makes
people happy and keeps them entertained. Think of musical instruments, the radio and the cinema. People
are always looking for new ways to enjoy their time, or to make difficult times easier. It’s not always about turning hard work
(30) easy work. It’s important to understand the inventions of the past to see how much the

XI. Read the following passage. Choose the correct answer to each of the questions.
A community is a group of people who live close to each other. In this day and age, however, online
communities are the fastest-growing ones. A virtual community is one whose members interact with each
other mainly via the Internet. These communities get people with similar interests together so that they can
share their interests or help each other in different ways. Virtual communities can just be for fun, but many
of them have a serious purpose. For instance, many women who are soon-to-be moms can now get support
and advice from others who have experience or those who are expecting their children. Similarly, many
people join a virtual community for educational purposes. MOOCs, or massive open online courses, are
places where people can join an educational course using the Internet. In some online communities,
members not only communicate with each other online, but they may also meet up in the real world. For
example, people interested in cosplay may use online communities to organize cosplay conventions where
members can dress up and meet with others. Many of these communities cross international borders. Book
Crossing, a social networking site for book-lovers, has members in 132 different countries. Moreover, some
online communities care more about improving the real community that they live in. Street Bank is a virtual
community where real-life neighbors can offer to help each other out by lending things like sports or
cooking equipment, or by doing up their houses or gardens.
