Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.

If you want to turn your hobbies into jobs, consider the following experts' suggestions. If you are a helpful person, you can teach others to do what you love. "Teach piano lessons, offer cooking classes, or teach another language if those are your passions. You can do this by teaching through a college or continuing education program, by creating your own classes, or by creating your own webinars or tele-seminar series online", Collamer says.

If you are not interested in teaching, appraise, repair or fix items related to what you love. Most hobbies have "stuff" connected to them, and sometimes, that stuff needs to be fixed by a skilled and knowledgeable person. "You could fix computers, appraise collectibles, repair bicycles, source missing parts for highly unusual items, and so on," Collamer says.

"The next time you find yourself confused as to how to generate income from your hobbies, search out the most successful entrepreneurs in your area of interest and study their business models and revenue streams," Collamer suggests. "Ask yourself: Is their income coming from consulting services, videos, accessories, events, classes or product sales? What is their mix of products and services? What is their pricing strategy?" In doing this, you will discover proven models for monetizing your hobbies, as well as helpful information about how to price your own services and products.

Mufson, who has interests outside of career coaching, says she managed to turn a hobby into a lucrative part- time gig. "I personally turned my hobby of creating gemstone jewellery into a side-line business," she explains. "Jewellery making is an expensive hobby and early on I decided to make it pay for itself. Since then I have developed two online stores and a relationship with a jewellery gallery that sells most of my work."

Question 36: What is the best title for the passage?

A. Methods of designing and selling jewellery

B. Tips for turning your interests into careers

C. Experts' advice on choosing the best jobs

D. Pros and cons of running a private business

Question 37: Collamer suggests_____.

A. interviewing the richest business people

B. getting a university degree in business

C. working for the most popular employer

D. analyzing successful people's methods

Question 38: What is Mufson most likely to make?

A. Shoes B. Clothes

C. Earrings D. Handbags

Question 39: Where are most of Mufson's products sold?

A. At her shops

B. At a gallery

C. Via the Internet

D. In the market

Question 40: Which does the phrase "do this" in the first paragraph refer to?

A. Have your passion

B. Teach others your hobbies

C. Create your own webinars

D. Offer cooking classes

III. READING

Read a text about some young people who write for a TV show and decide if the following statements are True, False or Not Given.

Teen writers on TV hit Catch

Dan Finelli is a normal teenager from North London; he goes to school, enjoys hanging out with his mates and only occasionally misses his classes. But Dan also happens to be a writer for the popular teen drama, Catch. The second series starts this week and the one-hour episode that Dan wrote, his very first for the show, will be on screen later in the year. This will make him one of the youngest writers of a peak-time drama ever.

'What's great about Catch is that the characters are exactly like the people around you,' says Dan, who also plays the part of Computer Chris in the show. 'When I'm at school and one of my friend says something funny, I write it down in my notebook and use it later in the script. I never tell them I'm doing it. I just want it to sound as real as possible,' Dan adds.

Catch is about the lives of a group of 16-18-year-olds in a sixth-form college. The school doesn't really exist, but the whole show does feel very true to life. There's an episode every week and each one concentrates on an individual member of the group and tells his or her story.

The idea for the programme came from an unusual source, a father-and-son pair of writers, Ken Thomas and his son, Callum. They took their idea to a TV company and were very surprised when the company said they were keen to make it. Now, Ken and Callum are central members of the writing team but in order to build that team, Ken had to go to theatre companies and writing groups all over London to find both writers and teens to advise on the stories.

Question 24. Dan's first series of the TV programme, Catch, brought him both fame and fortune.

Question 25. Dan is also one of the actors in Catch.

Question 26. Dan asks his friends if he can use the actual things they say in his writing.

Question 27. Catch is about a group of teenagers at a real college.

Question 28. Ken Thomas looked for young people to write Catch at various places around London.

Read an article about Elizabeth Taylor and choose the best answer.

Elizabeth Rosemond Taylor was born on February 27, 1932, in London, England. One of film's most celebrated stars, Elizabeth Taylor has fashioned a career that's covered more than six decades, accepting roles that have not only showcased her beauty, but her ability to take on emotionally charged characters.

Taylor's American parents, both art dealers, were residing in London when she was born. Soon after the outbreak of World War II, the Taylors returned to the United States and settled into their new life in Los Angeles.

Performance was in Taylor's blood. Her mother had worked as an actress until she married. At the age of 3, the young Taylor started dancing, and eventually gave a recital for Princesses Elizabeth and Margaret. Not long after relocating to California a family friend suggested the Taylors' daughter take a screen test.

She soon signed a contract with Universal Studios, and made her screen debut at the age of 10 in There's One Born Every Minute (1942). She followed that up with a bigger role in Lassie Come Home (1943) and later The White Cliffs of Dover (1944).

Her breakout role, however, came in 1944 with National Velvet, in a role Elizabeth Taylor spent four months working to get. The film subsequently turned out to be a huge hit that pulled in more than $4 million and made the 12-year-old actress a huge star.

Question 29. Which of the following is NOT true about the Taylors?

A. Her mother used to be an actress before getting married.

B. They lived in London at Taylor’s birth.

C. They were originally American.

D. Not until Taylor grew up, her family encouraged her to start with art.

Question 30. The word ‘fashioned’ in the passage is closest in meaning to ________.

A. adapted B. ended C. shaped D. changed

Question 31. Taylor _________________________.

A. only accepted the roles to show her beauty

B. gave a performance to the royal when she was small

C. had some roles when she was at the age of 3

D. moved to Los Angeles when World War II broke out.

Question 32. The word ‘that’ in the passage refers to __________.

A. the age of ten B. There's One Born Every Minute

C. Universal Studios D. the contract

Question 33. Her role in National Velvet ____________________.

A. marked the first enormous success of Taylor B. didn’t help to make a huge amount of money

C. took her little time of working D. was taken when she was old

IV. WRITING

For each question, complete the new sentence so that it means the same as the given one. Use the CAPITAL word. Write

An example has been done for you.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.

Born on June 30, 1985 in Baltimore, Maryland, to Fred and Debbie Phelps, the youngest of three children, Michael Phelps and his sisters grew up in the neighbourhood of Rodger Forge. His father, Fred, a former all-rounded athlete, was a state trooper and his mother Debbie was a middle-school principal. When Phelps's parents divorced in 1994, he and his siblings lived with their mother, with whom Michael grew very close. Even at the age of 7, Phelps was still a little scared to put his head under water, so his instructors allowed him to float around on his back. Not surprisingly, despite the fact that later he is very good at butterfly swimming, the first stroke he mastered was not the easily-practised breaststroke but the backstroke.

At the age of 15, Phelps became the youngest American male swimmer to compete at an Olympic Games in 68 years. While he didn't win any medals at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, Australia, he would soon become a major force in competitive swimming.

In the spring of 2001, Phelps set the world record in the 200-meter butterfly, becoming the youngest male swimmer in history at the age of 15 years and 9 months. At the 2001 World Championships in Japan, he then broke his own record with a time of 1:54:58, earning his first international medal. In 2002, Phelps continued to establish several records including the 100-meter butterfly and the 200-meter individual medley. The following year, at the same event, he broke his own world record in the 400-meter individual medley with a time of 4:09.09.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.

The custom of paying a bride price before marriage is still a well-established part of many African cultures. In paying a bride price, the family of the groom must provide payment to the family of the bride before the marriage is allowed. The bride price can vary greatly from culture to culture in Africa. In the Zulu and Swazi tribes of southern Africa, the bride price often takes the form of cattle. In Western African, kola nuts, shells, and other goods are often used for the payment of the bride price. The actual payment of money sometimes takes place, but the payment of goods is more frequent. The amount of paid in a bride price can also vary. In modern times, the bride price is occasionally quite small and its value is mainly symbolic. However, the bride price can still be quite high, especially among prominent or highly traditional families.

ADVERTISING

There are a number of justifications used to explain the payment of bride price. The first is that the bride price represents an acknowledgement of the expense the bride’s family has gone in order to raise her and bring her up as a suitable bride for the groom. It also represents payment for the loss of a family member, since the bride will officially become a member of her husband’s family and will leave her own. On a deeper level the bride price represents payment for the fact that the bride will bring children into the family of the groom, thereby increasing the wealth of the family. This concept is reinforced by the fact that the bride price must often be returned if the bride fails to bear children.

The payment of the bride price has quite a number of effects on African society. First, the payment of bride price acts to increase the stability of African family structures. Sons are dependent on their fathers and older relatives to help them pay the bride price of their wives, and this generally leads to greater levels of obedience and respect. The negotiations between the two families concerning the bride price allow the parents and other family members to meet and get to know one another before the marriage. Finally, since the bride price must often be repaid in case of divorce, the bride’s family often works to make sure that any marital problems are solved quickly. Bride prices also work as a system of wealth distribution in African cultures. Wealthier families can afford to support the marriage of their son, and thus their wealth is transferred to other families.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.

We find that bright children are rarely held back by mixed-ability teaching. On the contrary, both their knowledge and experience are enriched. We feel that there are many disadvantages instreaming pupils. It does not take into account the fact that children develop at different rates. It can have a bad effect on both the bright and the not-so-bright child. After all, it can be quite discouraging to be at the bottom of the top grade!

Besides, it is rather unreal to grade people just according to their intellectual ability. This is only one aspect of their total personality. We are concerned to develop the abilities of all our pupils to the full, not just their academic ability. We also value personal qualities and social skills, and we find that mixed-ability teaching contributes to all these aspects of learning.

In our classroom, we work in various ways. The pupils often work in groups; this gives them the opportunity to learn to co-operate, to share, and to develop leadership skills. They also learn how to cope with the personal problems as well as learning how to think, to make decisions, to analyze and evaluate, to communicate effectively. The pupils learn from each other as well as from the teachers.

Sometimes the pupils work in pairs; sometimes the work on individual tasks and assignments, they can do this at their own speed. They also have some formal class teaching when this is appropriate. We encourage our pupils to use the library, and we teach them the skills they need in order to do this effectively. An advanced pupil can do advanced works; it does not matter what age the child is. We expect our pupils to do their best, not their least, and we give them every encouragement to attain this goal.

Question 36: The phrase “held back” in paragraph 1 means ______

A. prevented from advancing

B. forced to study in lower class

C. made to remain in the same classes

D. made to lag behind

Question 37: The author argues that a teacher’s chief concern should be the development of the pupils’ _________.

A. learning ability and communicative skills

B. intellectual abilities

C. total personality

D. personal and social skills

Question 38: Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?

A. Group work provides the pupils with the opportunity to learn to be capable organizers

B. Pupils also learn how to participate in teaching activities

C. Group work gives pupils the opportunity to learn to work together with others

D. Pupils also learn to develop their reasoning ability

Question 39: The author’s purpose of writing this passage is to _________

A. recommend pair work and group work classroom activities

B. offer advice on the proper use of the school library

C. argue for teaching bright and not-so-bright pupils in the same class

D. emphasize the importance of appropriate formal classroom teaching

Question 40: According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?

A. Development of pupils as individuals is not the aim of group work

B. Pupils cannot develop in the best way if they are streamed into classes of different intellectual abilities

C. It’s not good for a bright child to find out that he performs worst in a mixed-ability class

D. There is no fixed method in teaching pupils to develop themselves to the full

Lead poisoning in children is a major health concern. Both low and high doses of paint can have serious effects. Children exposed to high doses of lead often suffer permanent nerve damage, mental retardation, blindness, and even death. Low doses of lead can lead to mild mental retardation, short attention spans, distractibility, poor academic performance, and behavioral problems.

This is not a new concern. As early as 1904, lead poisoning in children was linked to lead-based paint. Microscopic lead particles from paint are absorbed into the bloodstream when children ingest flakes of chipped paint, plaster, or paint dust from sanding. Lead can also enter the body through household dust, nailbiting, thumb sucking, or chewing on toys and other objects painted with lead-based paint. Although American paint companies today must comply with strict regulations regarding the amount of lead used in their paint, this source of lead poisoning is still the most common and most dangerous. Children living in older, dilapidated houses are particularly at risk.

Question 36: What is the main topic of the passage?

A. problems with household paint

B. major health concern for children

C. lead poisoning in children

D. lead paint in order homes

Question 37: The phrase "exposed to" in line 2 could best be replaced by which of the following?

A. in contact with

B. familiar with

C. displaying

D. conducting

Question 38: Which of the following does the passage infer?

A. Paint companies can no longer use lead in their paint.

B. Paint companies must limit the amount of lead used in their paint.

C. Paint companies aren't required to limit the amount of lead used in their paint.

D. Paint companies have always followed restrictions regarding the amount of lead used in their paint.

Question 39: The word "ingest" could best be replaced by which of the following?

A. inhale B. invest

C. inject D. eat

Question 40: The word "dilapidated" is closest in meaning to which of the following?

A. unpainted B. decorated

C. broken down D. poorly painted

Music can move the soul. It can be a very strong influence. Some music can calm us down but other music can make us wild! How does music affect us? Music is used in a variety of ways. It is used in the medical field as a source of research and as a sort of treatments as well. Music has been used as treatment to lower blood pressure, help ill children recover quickly, treat mental illness, treat depression, aid in healing, and reduce stress and insomnia and premature infants. Julius Portnoy, a musicologist, found that it can change heart rates, increase or decrease blood pressure, effect energy levels, and digestion, positively or negatively, depending on the type of music. Calming music, such as classical musk, was found to have a very calming effect on the body, and cause the increase of endorphins, thirty minutes of such music was equal to the effect of a dose of valium. Both hemispheres of the brain are involved in processing music. The music in these studies is not the lyrics, but the music itself, the melody, the tones, the tunes, the rhythm, and the chords.

Studies had been done on plants and the results were that loud hard rock music killed plants and soft classical music made the plants grow faster. Music is very powerful, like a drug and can even be an addiction. According to Patty Hearst, a researcher on music, it was documented that music was used in the aid of brainwashing some people. In the book, "Elevator Music" by Joseph Lanza, it is stated that certain types of strong music over prolonged periods in certain conditions were shown to cause seizures.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.

The air above our head is becoming cleaner. A breath of fresh air has been running right round the planet for the past five years. The planet is apparently purging itself of pollution. Paul Novell of the University of Colorado, the co-author of a report on this phenomenon says, “It seems as if the planet’s own cleaning service has suddenly got a new lease of life. Suddenly, there are a lot of changes going on up there”.

Estimates of the death toll from urban smog have been steadily rising, so the new cleaner trend could have significant consequences for life expectancy in cities as well as for the planet itself. The sudden and unexpected reversal of several decades of worsening pollution extends from the air in city streets to the remotest mid-Pacific Ocean and Antarctica.

Among the pollutants which have begun to disappear from the atmosphere are carbon monoxide, from car exhaust and burning rain forests, and methane from the guts of cattle, paddy fields, and gas fields. Even carbon dioxide, the main gas behind global warning, has fallen slightly.

There are two theories about why pollution is disappearing. First that there is less pollution to start with due to laws to cut down urban smogs and acid rain starting to have a global impact. Second, that the planet may be becoming more efficient at cleaning up.

The main planetary clean-up agent is a chemical called hydroxyl. It is present throughout the atmosphere in tiny quantities and removes most pollutants from the air by oxidizing them. The amount of hydroxyl in the air has fallen by a quarter in 1980s. Now it may be reviving for two reasons: ironically, because the ozone hole has expanded, letting in more ultraviolet radiation into the lower atmosphere, where it manufactures hydroxyl. Then the stricter controls on vehicle exhausts in America and Europe may have cut global carbon monoxide emissions, thereby allowing more hydroxyl to clean up other pollutants.

Question 37: Based on information in the passage, all of the following information referring to hydroxyl is true EXCEPT __________.

A. oxidization of pollutants is carried out by hydroxyl.

B. ultraviolet radiation increases production of hydroxyl.

C. there is difficulty in destroying carbon dioxide by hydroxyl.

D. the reduction in the ozone layer is beneficial to hydroxyl.

Question 38: The word “purging” in line 2 is closest in meaning to __________.

A. refining

B. ridding

C. destroying

D. rising

Question 39: The passage supports which of the following conclusion?

A. An expansion in hydroxyl has enlarged the ozone hole.

B. The decrease of methane has enabled ultraviolet radiation to enter the atmosphere.

C. The reduction in carbon dioxide has produced a cleaner atmosphere.

D. The beneficial effect of hydroxyl has aided the cleaning process.

Question 40: The word “it” in paragraph 5 refers to ______.

A. the ozone hole

B. clean-up agent

C. acid rain

D. urban smog
