EXERCISE VII: Read the passage and do the tasks below. Choose no more than THREE WORDS from the reading text that have the same meaning as the given definition to fill in each blank.

While couples without a clear or equal chore division may encounter quarrels over who does what, a recent survey finds the divorce rate among couples sharing chores equally is about fifty percent higher than those in which wives do more or most of the housework, which can be a slap in the face for gender equality.

The researchers explain that modern couples organize their marriage and work out the tasks and duties, which may gradually turn their marriage into a business or contractual relationship. The woman may gradually feel less needed or happy and what's worse is that no one would care to help if something is not among their assigned chores. That seems to encourage conflicts rather than conflict resolution skills.

On the contrary, in families without equal task division women tend to be responsible for more chores than men. While they believe they can exchange their roles for their husbands', many women believe they are most naturally suited for certain tasks. They simply enjoy being involved in their children's activities, which means more chores for them. This group of women also report more marital satisfaction.

The survey also aimed to find out whether women's were happier if men shared more of the burden. In fact, they find that men report fewer family conflicts and greater well-being while women appear to be largely unmoved. This may be partly because they feel less guilty or simply learn how to have a quiet life.

Cell phones are an integrated part of our society at this point, and their main use is communication. They keep students in touch with the rest of the world by giving them the power to interact with it. In my day, if you forgot your lunch you were at the mercy of the office calling home for you. Now, students have the ability to solve their own problems and handle certain "emergencies" on their own.
Cell phones also allow students the ability when the time is right, to keep in touch with students at other schools or friends that don"t go to school. While not an educational benefit directly, better relationships can lead to higher self-esteem and reduce isolation, which is good for everybody. In the same way, camera phones allow students to capture the kinds of memories that help build a solid school culture, and, in some cases, can act as documentation of misbehavior in the same way that store cameras provide evidence and deter bad behavior.
Academically, the cell phone can act as to record video of a procedure of explanation that may need to be reviewed later. It could be used to record audio of a lecture, as well, for later review. And just imagine if class could be easily taped for students who are absent? What if they could even be streamed and seen from home instantly?
The iPod is a little trickier, because its function varies greatly by model. At its heart, it is a media player, and I know for a fact that many students work better while listening to music. For this reason, they can have a good effect by keeping students from getting too distracted while working (ironic, because we mostly think of them AS distractions!). If it is a WIFI compatible model, and wireless internet is available, the iPod can be a great tool for looking up information or digging into things more deeply. Depending on the model, it may be able to act as a camera and video recorder as well (with the same benefits as the cell phone).
Devices like the Kindle could, conceivably, make learning a lot easier. Imagine carrying all your textbooks in the palm of your hand, rather than strapped to your back! Though expensive, compared to buying new textbooks, the Kindle is a bargain. Many of the books used in high school English classes are actually FREE on the Kindle.

Which of the following is NOT true about the iPod according to the passage?
.

A.
The iPod can be used to record videos
B.
The iPod can be used to make phone calls
C.
The iPod can be connected to the Internet.
D.
The iPod comes in different models.

It may be hard to believe, but the modern elevator is close to 150 years old. The first elevators were produced in the mid 1800s. They raised and lowered their cars using a system of hydraulic pumps, but this was inherently dangerous because there was nothing to prevent a collapse of the elevator if the pumps failed. Then Elisha Otis invented the first safety elevator in 1852. Otis’ elevator prevented the car from falling in case of an error. Elisha Otis is considered to be the father of the modern elevator because of his work in designing elevators.
Otis’ first passenger elevator was installed in a building in New York City in 1857. In 1880, a German company invented the first electric elevator. This breakthrough allowed companies to build elevators that only required access to electricity. They were more compact because they did not require big pumps. Electric elevators were safer and were similar to an elevator you might use today.
At the beginning of the 20th century, trained professionals were needed to operate elevators. These workers would dock the lift on the appropriate floor. They would also announce which businesses or offices were on a floor. An elevator that allowed a passenger to press a button and move the elevator to the selected floor would not be invented until the 1950s.
The true benefit of this invention can be seen in large cities like New York City or London, where people live and work inside tall buildings. Elevators allow quick and easy access between floors. In these busy buildings, hundreds of people might exit or enter an elevator at any given second. Moving around tall buildings wouldn’t be the same without such an efficient and necessary invention!
