The Swedish ready-to-assemble furniture company has banned events created on Facebook
inviting people to go to its stores to play hide-and-seek. (5) In Amsterdam, teams of five
would all wear yellow shirts and they would have to find five hiding people dressed in red
shirts. The first team to find the people wearing red shirts would win.
'We are happy that our customers want to have fun with friends and family,' an IKEA
spokeswoman told reporters. 'Unfortunately, the numbers got out of hand. (6) Safety comes
first.'
Last summer, IKEA offered the chance to play the children's game at one of its stores in
Belgium. The idea of a hide-and-seek game had been around for years. A fan page
called I would love to play hide-and-seek in IKEA! from 2010 has about 130,000 Facebook
likes. Last summer, 29-year-old blogger Elise de Rijck wrote down a list of 30 things to do
before her 30th birthday, which included throwing a pie in someone's face, having a mud fight
and playing hide-and-seek at her local IKEA store. Elise explained that she had only created a
Facebook event for friends, but then hundreds of people started joining. IKEA contacted her to
let her know that they wanted to organise the event. 'They had to spend money hiring extra
staff and security, but it brought them a lot of publicity,' Elise said. (4) Many people posted
pictures and comments on social media to show how much fun they had had.
Organisers are now looking for alternative buildings for the game. (3)

The internet is in many ways an extension of the brain. We can look for anything on Google
these days and get more information about it than our brain could ever store. This might not
be great news after all. We used to memorise phone numbers and dates or learn poems and
tales. We don't do these kinds of thing much nowadays. We're becoming too lazy to learn
things by heart when we can always rely on technology. (1)
Technology can also affect reading negatively. There are different types of reading. When
we read a newspaper, for instance, we do a lot of skimming. We read quickly and when we
find something we're interested in, then we read in detail. (5) However, the downside is that
by mostly engaging in this type of reading – the kind of thing we do when we check out
Facebook or when we look at tweets on Twitter as well – we're not spending enough time
reading deeply and quietly, as we do when we read a novel. Skimming has become the
default reading mode, and we may be losing our ability to read in-depth because of
technology.
Which sentence best summarises the text? Overusing internet-connecting gadgets can be
bad for the brain.
What does the text say about memory? (It's difficult for the brain to store information if it
has to manage more than four pieces of information.)
What does the text say about learning things? . (We don't learn things by heart as often as
we did in the past.)
What does the text say about types of reading? (Skimming is the most common type of
reading nowadays.)
