V. Read the passage and answer the question.

An important part of world history is the story of communication. In prehistoric times, for example, people did

not have books. They did not know much about geography. People were limited. They knew only about

themselves and their environment (the land around their homes). Their knowledge of geographical things like

mountains and rivers was limited. They did not travel very far. Sometimes they knew aboutnearby people and

communicated with them. They sent messages in simple ways Early signals for communication included smoke

from fires and the sounds of drums. Then people formed towns, and then cities, as safe places to live. Soon they

began to develop other ways to communicate, to spread information. People began to buy and sell things to one

another Because of theirbusiness, they developed writing systems to keep records and to send messages. Life

was changing for many people. Business caused changes, and so did the invention of the printing press. Many

more people learned to read then.

Suddenly communication and knowledge improved greatly. People sent letters and news by horse and

carriage. Later the mail went by train and by airplane World communication was now a possibility.
