Read the following passage and choose the correct answers for each question.
There is a list of interesting jobs that we'll never have again, and a town crier is, of course, on the list. It's been a long time since town criers worked professionally, so there are not many people knowing who town criers were. Today we can only see them in the movies or at some old tourist sites. Before newspapers were invented, a town crier, who was usually an older gentleman with a booming voice, always dressed officially and had a little bell which he carried with him always. His job was to go through city streets ringing the bell and shouting the latest news as he was walking.
The occupation of the town crier was quickly replaced by radio, television, texting, internet, and all the marvels of modern technology. Today this occupation exists only for entertainment purposes and as local folklore. Competitions for the best town criers are still being held in some parts of the world like America, Australia, Canada, and England.
A lot of people now work as professional town criers.
Today people can get to know about town criers in films and at some tourist attractions.
Town criers had worked professionally before mass media were invented.
Town criers used to wear casual clothes when working.
What is the passage mainly about?

Choose the word that best fits the blank space in the following passage.
There are many ways to cut the of your power bill in your home. Take a look at the way we choose computers (a laptop or a desktop computer). A laptop is a computer that is small enough carried around easily and is flat when closed. While a desktop computer is the one that fits on a desk but that is not easily moved from place to place.
Regardless of their convenience difference, choosing a laptop or a desktop computer may result in a significant difference in energy . I’m writing this by using a laptop with power features switched on - using around 50 watts maximum. Back some years ago, I would work with a desktop computer with a 17" CRT screen — around 300 wait all cold.
The following are some rough based on coal-fired power generation for just the computer aspect:
- Laptop = 50w x 10 hours a day x 363 days = 185.5 kilowatt hours
- Desktop = 300w x 10 hours a day x 168 = 1095 kilowatt hours
In the case of coal-fired electricity, each kilowatt you save not only puts back into your pockets but also avoids up to 1.5 pounds of carbon dioxide emission being generated.
