Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the answer to each of the question.
It is 2025. Your mobile is now much more than just a Communication device – more like a remote control for your life. You still call it a "mobile" from habit, but it is an organiser, entertainment device, payment device and security centre, all developed and manufactured by engineers.
On a typical day it will start work even before you wake. Because it knows your travel schedule it can check for problems on the roads or with the trains and adjust the time it wakes you up accordingly, giving you the best route into work. It can control your home, re-programming the central heating if you need to get up earlier and providing remote alerts if the home security system is triggered. It is your payment system - just by placing the phone near a sensor on a barrier, like the Oyster card readers in use on London transport, you can pay for tickets for journeys or buy items in shops. With its understanding of location, the mobile can also provide directions, or even alert the user to friends or family in the Vicinity.
It is your entertainment centre when away from home. As well as holding all your music files, as some phones today are able to do, it will work with your home entertainment system while you sleep to find programmes that will interest you and download them as a podcast to watch on the train or in other spare moments. It will intelligently work out what to do with incoming phone calls and messages.
Which statement about mobile phones is probably FALSE according to the passage?
A. They might help people to check if there are any problems on the roads.
B. They start work before people wake up.
C. They can help to pay for journeys or purchase items in shops.
D. They can also provide directions, or even alert the user to friends or family although they are far from the user.

Raz plus is an amazing app. It helps me study English more effectively. I use it almost everyday. I can read a lot of reading books in both fiction and non-fiction. It also helps me improve my pronunciation by listening and recording. But I need to buy its account so as to use it.
"Hoc24" is not an app but it is still a web for students to learn and so am I. Now, I am focusing on studying Ielts so I have less time to study on the web. On "Hoc24", students can have correct answers for their homework and practice with more kinds of work, you can also study for examinations. Sometimes, there is an error but teachers in Hoc24 still update and fix it.
