M: How much will that cost?
W:We have several options ranging from one hundred thousand dollars all the way up
to half a million.

Section B
Passage One
There are many reasons why family life in Britain has changed so much in the lastfifty years.The liberation of women in the early part of the twentieth century andthe social and economic effects of World War II had a great impact on traditional family life.Women became essential to industry and the professions.During the war
they had worked in factories and proved their worth, now, with the loss of millions of men, their services were indispensable to the nation.
More recently, great advances in scientific knowledge, and particularly in medicine,have had enormous social consequences.Children are better cared for and are far
healthier.Infant death rate is low.Above all, parents can now plan the size of their family if they wish through more effective means of birth control.
Different attitudes to religion, authority and tradition generally have also greatly contributed to changes in family life.But these developments have affected all aspects of society.It is particularly interesting to note that the concept of the family as a social unit has survived all these challenges.

In the next few decades people are going to travel very differently from the way they do today.Everyone is going to drive electrically powered cars.So in a few yearspeople wont worry about running out of gas.Some of the large automobile companies are really moving ahead with this newtechnology.F & C Motors, a major auto company, for example, is holding a pressconference next week.At the press conference the company will present its new,electronically operated models.
Transportation in the future wont be limited to the ground.Many people predict that traffic will quickly move to the sky.In the coming years, instead of radio reports about road conditions and highway traffic, news reports will talk about traffic jams in the sky.
But the sky isnt the limit.In the future, youll probably even be able to take a trip to the moon. Instead of listening to regular airplane announcements, youll hear someone say, The spacecraft to the moon leaves in ten minutes.Please check your equipment.And remember, no more than ten ounces of carry on baggage are allowed.
