Задание 1. Чтение Прочитайте текст. Для каждого предложения А-Е выберите один правильный вариант ответа. Inventions that Changed the World Dear Peter, I've just finished reading a book about inventions that changed people's lives. Some of them are very old, but they are still important today. One of the most important inventions is the printing press, created in the 15th century. Thanks to it, books became cheaper and more available. People could read, learn, and share ideas much more easily. Another great invention is electricity. It gave people light in their homes, power for machines, and later computers and the internet. The telephone also changed the world. It allowed people to talk across long distances. Later, mobile phones appeared, and today we cannot imagine life without them. The internet is another invention that connects the whole world. It helps us study, work, and keep in touch with friends everywhere. Of course, there are many other inventions, such as cars, airplanes, and even simple tools. But the book says that inventions are not only about technology. They are about people who have ideas and the courage to make them real. Best wishes, Alex Questions: A. What did the printing press make possible? 1. Cheaper and more available books. 2.
