A little over a year ago, I began training to swim the English
Channel this September. I will be 58 years old then. I won't do as
one channel swimmer did a few years ago. He tried hard for years,
made the arrangements and even went to England weeks early to
train in the channel before his attempt. The great day came, and he
started swimming towards France. After swimming only one hour,
he got out of the water and climbed on to the boat, saying that he
suddenly had lost the desire to swim the channel and it no longer
meant anything to him.
On the other hand there was a young girl who was trying to finish
her swim when the Ocean got rough. She was having a hard time
with the rough and cold water, when her father shouted to her from
the boat that he thought she should give up and get out of the water.
She shouted back, "I'll decide when to get out." She made it.

III. READING
Read the passage and then choose the correct answer. (2,5 pts)
When you are sick, you often call a doctor. But if you have a very
sick book, you might call Henry Richardson, a professional bookbinder,
who gives life to old books that are yellowed and damaged. Many of
these sick books are unique; some may be the only copies still existing.
Henry Richardson has saved the lives of many books. He works
with them very gently, as though he were touching a young baby. The
first step is to wash the pages. Richardson removes the old book
cover, separate the pages, and places each one in water. Richardson
fixes these while they are still wet, placing each one on a heavy piece
of glass. The washed pages are now white and perfect repaired.
They are removed from glass and placed between pieces of paper

to dry. After drying, the pages are placed together again in the
original book cover. Sometimes only the front and back parts of the
book cover can be used with new pieces added to hold them together.
Sometimes it is necessary to make a whole new cover.
The final step is to return the stronger and cleaner renewed 15thor-16th-century book to the library so that once again it can be read
with pleasure. For Henry Richardson this is the best and happiest
part of his job-seeing sick books become well and useful again. "After
all," he says, "what is the use of a book if you can't read it?"
1. What does Henry Richardson do?

The big Town Hall clock was striking midnight when Frank
began to cross the bridge. The dark night air was cold and slightly
wet, and the street-lamps gave little light.
Frank was anxious to get home and his footsteps rang loudly on
the pavement, when he reached the middle of the bridge he thought
he could hear someone coming near behind him. He looked back but
could see no one. However, the sound continued and Frank began
walking more quickly. Then he slowed down again, feeling shame
at having acted so foolishly. There was nothing to fear in a town as
quiet as this.
Just then, he heard short, quick steps closely behind him. By the
time he reached the other side of the bridge, he could almost feel
someone at his heels. He turned round and there stood a man
dressed in a large overcoat. A hat was pulled down over his eyes and
very little of his face could be seen. Frank said something about the
weather, trying to sound friendly and calm. The man did not answer
but asked rudely where Oakfield House was. Frank pointed to a big
house in the distance and the stranger continued his way.

still on and the man waited until it went out. When about half an

One day a lawyer's wife fell ill and he went to get a doctor. The
doctor willingly came to see the woman and to do what he could for
her, but before he went into the house he stopped. He had heard that
the lawyer was famous for not paying his bills. So he said to the
man, "but if I do cure your wife I am afraid you may not pay me."
"Sir," replied the lawyer, "here I have $500. Whether you cure my
wife or you kill her, I will give you all this."
The doctor was reassured and went into the house. When he
reached the woman's bedside it soon became clear to him that he
could do little. She was seriously ill, and though he gave her
medicine, she soon died.
He told the lawyer he was very sorry, then asked for the money
which he had promised.
"Did you kill my wife?" asked the man.
"Of course I didn't. " said the doctor.
"Well, did you cure my wife?" asked the man.
"I'm afraid that is impossible." replied the doctor.
"Well then, since you neither killed my wife nor cured her, I have
nothing to pay you."

III. READING
Read the passage and then choose the correct answer. (2,5 pts)
Dr. Stephenson Fung who is a physics professor at the University
of Hong Kong and also one of the world's greatest scientists is a
blind man.
Dr. Fung was not blind when he was born in Hong Kong in 1950.
But his eyesight became worse and worse as he grew older. At
school, he couldn't see the words on the blackboard clearly. At home,
he sometimes fell down because of not seeing clearly. At age 14, his
private doctor told him that he would go blind. From then on he
learned to look after himself.
Dr. Fung attended a school for blind until he found a job as a
telephone operator when he was 17 years old. It was the best job for
the blind in those days. But Dr. Fung had his greater dreams. He
wanted to get an education, so he tried to teach himself. He
borrowed Braille textbooks and learned all by himself. In 1974, he
won a scholarship to study physics at Oxford University in Britain.
He got his Ph.D. in 1980. Then he worked as a lecturer and stayed
at Oxford for another three years. He later returned to Hong Kong,
and has been teaching in the University of Hong Kong since 1983.
In 1996, he got a Doctor's degree of Science from Oxford University.

This is a great honour for a scientist. Dr. Fung does believe "Where
there is a will, there is a way".
