[7-9] Read the following passage and choose the best answer for each question.
What comes to your mind when you think of modern technological
innovations? You may think of computers or cell phones. However, clothing
has greatly benefited from technology, too. New technology has brought
new fabrics with special qualities. These fabrics help people who have
certain jobs.
One of these new inventions is compression clothing. Compression
clothing is designed to provide support to the muscles. Athletes use
compression clothing because it can reduce the risk of injury, increase
performance, and speed up recovery time. Many athletes, such as runners
and basketball players, wear them when they are training.
Another invention is flame-resistant clothing. This clothing is worn by
firefighters and people who work around flames. It keeps people safe from
heat stroke and steam burns by taking sweat and moisture off the body. It
does not burn in extreme heat, and it protects the skin from fire.

[10-12] Read the following passage and choose the best answer for each question.
Do you like to follow the newest and latest fashion trends? In the
past, most clothing stores only sold new styles for each season. Nowadays,
though, clothing retailers sell new styles every few weeks. They copy
designer and celebrity styles and sell them cheaply. This is known as “fast
fashion.”
Fast fashion clothes are very popular because they are inexpensive
and trendy. However, they also have problems. Their cheap price allows
many people to follow rapidly changing fashion trends. As a result, people
buy clothes more often and throw them away, creating more waste. Even
worse, the materials used to make these clothes are harmful to the
environment. They are often made from artificial materials, such as
polyester, acrylic, and nylon, which cannot be easily recycled. And a single
polyester dress takes about 200 years to break down!
10. How are clothing stores today different from those in the past?
a. Today they only sell traditional styles.
b. Today they never copy designer styles.
c. Today they change fashions all the time.
d. Today they change fashions every season.
