Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
CAN YOU PROVE WHO YOU ARE?
 	Today, we frequently read newspaper stories of unqualified people who are convicted of posing as surgeons, dentists, airline pilots or financial experts. These people are sometimes portrayed as amiable crooks, but in reality, they are not amiable; they are fraudsters who prey on people's good nature. Fraudsters can do more than just trick you or steal your cash; they can steal your identity, too. 
 	Some years ago, Derek Bond, a seventy two-year-old retired civil servant, found out for himself how dreadful modern fraud can be. As he stepped off a plane at Cape Town airport, he was arrested and put in prison. It was worrying enough that he could have been mistaken for a 'most wanted' criminal, but what made matters worse was that, despite having an impeccable reputation in his hometown, it took three weeks for Mr. Bond's family to convince the authorities that they had made a mistake. Away from people who knew him, Mr. Bond's reputation was based solely on the contents of a police file. If that file said that Mr. Derek Bond, a man of medium height and build, was actually Derek Lloyd Sykes, a conman responsible for a multi-million dollar fraud in Texas, then who could prove that it wasn't true?
 	Mr. Bond was the victim of identity theft, where a thief assumes another person's identity and uses it to steal directly from that person or to commit crimes using that person's name. In the world of organized crime, for those involved illegal immigration or benefit fraud, a in drug-trafficking, money laundering fake ID is a license to print money. Even more worrying is the fact that there is now a ready market for stolen identities among the world's terrorists. More and more people are shopping and banking online or by phone these days, so the opportunities for the fraudulent use of credit cards or other personal information are increasing rapidly. In fact, it is true to say that identity theft is booming, and for those affected by it, the consequences are often catastrophic.
 	Under existing financial regulations, banks and credit organizations are required to 'know their customers' before they are allowed to open an account. This means that they have to request specific proofs of identity before they allow them to start spending: usually proof of name and address and a photo ID such as a passport or a driver's license.
 	This sounds satisfactory, but in reality it is far from foolproof. The problem is that stealing someone's identity is not rocket science. In theory, all an unscrupulous thief needs to start using a person's name is a few snippets of information, such as a discarded phone bill or a credit card receipt.
 	It has been claimed that 'bin diving' is a common way for thieves to get information. In an extensive survey, a credit checking agency examined the contents of 400 rubbish bins. They found that one in five of these contained enough sensitive information to commit identity fraud. Every time people buy or sell goods, individuals are providing information about themselves on paper. Receipts, invoices and bills all contain personal information that is useful to a fraudster. But identity thieves don't even need to get their hands dirty. How often do people hand over their credit or debit cards in shops? How many people buy something over the phone or shop online? All it takes is one dishonest employee and people can say goodbye to their hard-earned cash. Today, sophisticated criminals also use computer software packages to hack into the systems of banks and other organizations to steal lists of their customers' identities, lists which can sometimes run to millions of individuals.

It is hard to think of a world without gas or electricity. Both are commonly used for lighting and heating today. We now can instantly flick a lighter or strike a match to make a flame. But it was not long ago that there were no such things as matches or lighters. To make fire, it was necessary to strike a piece of iron on flint for sparks to ignite some tinder. If the tinder was damp, or the flint old, you had to borrow some fire from a neighbor. We do not know exactly when or how people first used fire. Perhaps, many ages ago, they found that sticks would burn if they were dropped into some hole where melted lava from a volcano lay boiling. They brought the lighted sticks back to make their fire in a cave. Or, they may have seen trees catch fire through being struck by lightning, and used the trees to start their own fires.
Gradually people learned they could start a fire without traveling far to find flames. They rubbed two pieces of wood together. This method was used for thousands of years. When people became used to making fires with which to cook food and stay warm at night, they found that certain resins or gums from trees burnt longer and brighter. They melted resins and dipped branches in the liquid to make torches that lit their homes at night. Iron stands in which torches used to be fixed can still be seen in old buildings of Europe. There was no lighting in city streets until gas lamps, and then electric lamps were installed. Boys ran about London at night carrying torches of burning material. They were called torch boys, or link boys, and earned a living by guiding visitors to friends’ houses at night. For centuries homes were lit by candles until oil was found. Even then, oil lamps were no more effective than a cluster of candles. We read about the splendors and marvels of ancient palaces and castles, but we forget that they must have been gloomy and murky places at night.
Question 39: The word “lighter” in the passage mostly means__________.
A. a device that uses electricity, oil or gas to produce light
B. a small device that produces a flame for lighting cigarettes, etc.
C. the energy from the sun, a lamp, etc. that makes it possible to see things
D. a hot bright stream of burning gas that comes from something that is on fire
Question 40: To make a fire in times just before the advent of matches, it was essential to have access to__________.
A. a burning fire or to possess flint 	B. a burning fire or to possess iron
C. flint, iron and dry tinder 	D. a magnifying glass
Question 41: The first fire used by people was probably obtained__________.
A. from the sun’s heat through glass 	B. by rubbing wood together
C. from heat or fire caused by nature 	D. by striking iron against flint
Question 42: Torches for lighting were made from__________.
A. the wood of gum trees 	B. iron bars dipped in melted resins
C. wooden poles dipped in oil 	D. tree branches dipped in melted resins
Question 43: Before the electric lamp was invented__________.
A. oil lamps and then candles were used	
B. candles and oil lamps appeared about the same time
C. candles and then oil lamps were used	
D. people did not use any form of lighting in their houses
