Choose the word whose underlined part is differently pronounced from the others. 1. A. skating B. status C. stadium D. statue 2. A. definitions B. documents C. combs D. doors 3.

A. popularity B. conscientious C. apprenticeship D. personality II. READING COMPREHENSION 2.1. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions. Why are there so many grandmothers and so few grandfathers? In other words, why do men die younger than women? Is this because men are afraid of getting old and helpless and so they prefer to die before that happens? Perhaps they fear to be left alone by their women and so decide to do the leaving first. Many explanations are given for the fact that men die earlier than women. Men are stronger physically, yet women can hang on longer to life. Both men and women are emotional creatures but women are not afraid or ashamed to cry while men refuse to do so. They are afraid of being thought "soft". Some men, when they are upset, play loud music or dig in the garden to relieve their feelings. Many men like an orderly life so that they bury themselves in their work or want a wife with some children or long to take part in wars where there is a definite chain of command. There is a leader to give orders and a known enemy to fight against and defeat. All these make men feel they live in a rational world. So the majority of men like a rational world. Rationality is fine but it does not include everything that makes life joyful and fun or even messy and frustrating. When a man refuses to cry, he is refusing to accept that his emotions are part of him. Of course, some men do not follow this pattern. Bob Hawke is capable of crying in public whereas Margaret Thatcher is probably incapable of crying at any time. We need to cry because that shows our ability to suffer. If we do not suffer, we are not really alive at all. Suffering can be creative or destructive. If we can all learn to cry and laugh and shout and dance openly, we are living creatively and adding something to the human race. We often say men suffer more from stress and therefore they die earlier. Are we not saying in another way that they do not know how to suffer in the right way - with tears and laughter instead of silence - and so they are miserable and just give up? That is just my theory of course. Have you a better one? 1. What does the word “that” in the passage refer to? A. The fact that men get old and helpless. B. The fact that they fear to be left alone. C. The fact that men die younger than women. D. The fact that they decide to do the leaving first. 2. What's the main question the article is intended to discuss? A. Why women are more emotional than men. B. Why suffering is different in men and women. C. Why men die earlier than women. 3
3. D. Why men like a rational world. 3. What is found the same for both men and women? A. They like to cry. B. They are physically strong. C. They are emotional creatures. D. They want to play loud music. 4. The phrase “to do the leaving” is closest in meaning to . A. set off B. go down C. pass away D. depart 5. What's the writer's opinion toward crying? A. It is a good thing for people to cry. B. It is all right for women to cry but shameful for men. C. Tears are not real signs of suffering. D. To be silent is better than to cry.

One story tells us that long time ago, a lion appeared in a small village in China and attacked the people and animals there. The villagers didn't know what to do and offered ten pieces of gold to anyone who could help them. A kung-fu fighter heard about this and went to the village. He fought with the lion three times but couldn't kill it. So he taught kung-fu to some of the villagers to help him kill the lion. A few months later, they killed the lion. After this the villagers celebrated the event every year by following the steps of those who fought the lion in a dance. Another story tells us there was once an emperor who used to have bad dreams every night and couldn't sleep. One night he saw a lion dance in his dream and the bad dreams just disappeared. When he woke up that morning, he showed his guards how to do the dance. From then on, they did the dance on that same day every year and the emperor never had bad dreams again. 7

Loud music is played and sometimes firecrackers are fired during the dance. This loud noise helps to keep evil spirits away and to bring good luck.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions. Early humans saw a variety of natural colours around them, from the browns and greens of the soil and plants to the deep blues and red of the sky. They painted their bodies with colours from nature to signal aggression towards an enemy, or to make themselves attractive to a mate. A girl and a rainbow of crushed ice flavours at Chowpatty Beach, India. Over the centuries, the sources of colours such as blue, purple and red were highly valued and they were often worth as much as gold. In the 19th century, a young chemistry student manufactured the first synthetic dye, and suddenly the world became a much more colourful place, in the 20th century, scientists discovered the psychological effects of colours, and people found ways to use this discovery to influence our feelings and behaviour. RED Red, the colour of blood, symbolises fire, love and anger. In Eastern cultures, people believe it brings luck, wealth and success. In humans, the colour red can send different messages. Some people redden, for example, when they are angry or embarrassed. Researchers have discovered that in sports the team that is wearing red is more likely to win. Why? Because red seems to be the colour that signals dominance, giving those dressed in red an advantage in sporting events. In many animal species (including humans), contact with this bold colour causes the heart rate to increase. However, one of red’s lighter shades, pink, can have the opposite effect on people. Men in prisons are less aggressive when the walls are a specific shade of pink. YELLOW Yellow, the colour that comes to mind when we think of sunshine, is found throughout nature and the man-made world as a colour that commands attention; indeed, it is one of the easiest colours to see. This highly visible shade is found on everything from school buses to traffic signs and pens that we use to highlight important information in a text. The colour is also used to caution people; football players, for example, are shown a yellow card as a reminder to behave. It can be used as a stimulant as well: in a number of studies, yellow has been found to help children focus on their work and do better at school. BLUE Blue, the colour of the sky and sea, is associated in many cultures with water, religious objects, and protection against evil. Its darker shades represent calm, stability and power. Dark blue, for example, is the colour of the business suit or police uniform; it tells others, ‘I am in control,’ or ‘I am trustworthy.’ Blue is also associated with sadness. It’s common in English, for example, when you are feeling sad or depressed, to talk about ‘feeling blue’, while in Iran, blue is the colour of mourning, worn when a person dies. Like pink, blue has a calming effect on people. Rooms painted blue help people to relax or sleep. Sleeping pills are often coloured blue to suggest exactly this idea. This colour also seems to reduce feelings of hunger. Blue food is rarely seen in nature, and when it is, such food is usually no longer healthy to 11
11. consume. It’s just one more example of the power that colour can hold over us. 1. According to the text, the colour red .

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions. Thanksgiving is celebrated in the US on the fourth Thursday in November. For many Americans, it is the most important holiday apart from Christmas. Schools, offices and most businesses close for Thanksgiving, and many people make the whole weekend a vacation. Thanksgiving is associated with the time when Europeans first came to North America. In 1620, the ship the May flowers arrived, bringing about 150 people who today are usually called Pilgrims. They arrived at the beginning of a very hard winter and could not find enough to eat, so many of them died. But in the following summer, Native Americans showed them what foods were safe to eat, so that they could save food for the next winter. They held a big celebration to thank God and the Native Americans for the feet that they had survived. Today people celebrate Thanksgiving to remember these early days. The most important part of the celebration is a traditional dinner with foods that come from North America. The meal includes turkey, sweet 15
