READING (20 points)

1 Read the text. Then circle the correct answers. (5 x 2 = 10 points)

Street markets and bazaars have existed for more than a thousand years. Most cities and towns have always had a main street with a lot of shops. But these streets were always in the centre of a city. The modern shopping centre isn’t in the town centre. It has moved to the suburbs – big neighbourhoods outside the cities.

After World War II, many people in the USA went to live in the suburbs. More people owned cars and they wanted to live in big houses with gardens, instead of in small flats inside the towns and cities. The suburbs were greener, cleaner and also safer than the cities. When people began building shopping centres with enormous car parks in the suburbs, the shopping centres became very popular because there weren’t enough car parks near the shops in the cities.

Since then, shopping centres have become very popular all around the world and they aren’t only for shopping. They have also got restaurants and cinemas and sometimes they have got art galleries, swimming pools and ice-skating rinks, too.
