based on 5 Spotlight on Exams ex.1 Listen to a man talking about houses of the future. For each question (1-7), choose А, В or C. What will houses be like in the future? Well, to start with, people won't need keys to get into them. They will simply place their hand on a panel on the front door and a computer will scan their hand print. If the print is recognised, the front door will open and a voice will welcome them home. What about cleaning? Well, in the future, people won't need to do it! Floors, windows and other household surfaces will be self¬cleaning, leaving people with more time to have fun. And how will clothes be washed? Well, not with water! Washing machines will use sound waves to 'shake' dirt off clothes. What will bathrooms be like? Well, they will check for health problems. When people brush their teeth, a tiny computer inside their toothbrush will tell them if they have a bad tooth that needs repairing at the dentist. When people look in their bathroom mirror, a computer will tell them if they need to visit an eye doctor. Kitchens of the future will have exciting new features, too. For example, fridges and cupboards will 'speak' to the cook: their digital voices will suggest ideas for meals according to what food is inside them. And, when supplies of a product are running low, computers in fridges and cupboards will order replacements from the supermarket using the Internet. Living rooms will be different too. For instance, the size and shape of living rooms won't be fixed in the future. Sliding walls will enable people to make their living room larger or smaller. Curtains won't be needed either, as windows will turn from clear to dark at the touch of a button. And dual screen TVs will mean that people can watch different programmes at the same time from the same one TV screen. What about bedrooms? Well, when bedroom wardrobes are opened, a computer screen will display the weather forecast and also images of what clothes each family member might like to wear. When people look into their bedroom mirror, messages will appear on the mirror telling them if it is time to get a haircut and so on. And music systems will ask what piece of music people want played whenever they walk into their bedroom. Finally, when people go away on holiday they will be able to operate everything in their home via their laptop. They will be able to water their plants, feed their pets, open the garage door for a delivery — anything they want — all just by pressing on their laptop keypad. Living rooms A. will have TVs with many screens. B. will have curtains that change colour. C. will have moving walls. comment In bathrooms, A. people will brush their teeth with tiny toothbrushes. B. toothbrushes will repair bad teeth. C. mirrors will check for eye problems. In the future, people will enter their homes using A. their hand. B. a hand-held computer. C. their voice.
