PASSAGE 1. For questions 11 - 15, read the passage and decide whether the
statements 11 - 15 are true (T) or false (F). Put a tick () in the appropriate box.
Some years ago I worked as a shift worker for a company 30 miles from our
house. My shift was from 3 to 11 p.m. At that time we lived out in the
countryside, so I had to drive to work on a bumpy road and cross a river on
a very old bridge. One afternoon when I left for work, it was raining
heavily. It often rained very hard during summer in that area, so I didn’t pay
any attention. I finished work that night and started the journey home.
Everything was as usual until I left the highway, got back on the road, and
came to the bridge. It was foggy and dark out there, and it was impossible to
4
see anything. I was crying because the water had risen up to my knees. I
knew that there was a house very near to the river and I needed someone to
help. Suddenly, I could feel something moving from behind. I began

screaming in panic since I realized that it was nothing but a snake creeping
into my car.

PASSAGE 2. Read the following passage and answer questions 16 - 25.
MY DAILY ROUTINE
My life is always full of activities, so I never have much time for myself.
During the week it's the worst. I usually have to get up at half past six even
though I would really prefer to sleep much later. I don’t usually have time
for breakfast because I have to catch a bus to school at seven o'clock. The
bus is usually packed with many people. Classes at school start at a quarter
to eight except on Tuesdays when they start at seven. Each lesson is forty-
five minutes long with ten minutes break in between.
After school I go shopping or just walk around the town for a while.
Getting home, I listen to the radio, watch television and maybe get a
snack. Then I start doing my homework or help my mom with some
housework. Before I know it, the afternoon is gone and it is evening.
In my family, we usually eat dinner at about seven o'clock. At dinner we
discuss what happened during the day and catch up with each others'
lives. Then I have some time to watch the TV news. Sometimes it is an
interesting film or a video.
On the weekend it is a different story. I sleep late and do whatever I wish
with my free time. I can go for a trip with friends, visit relatives or devote
more time to my hobbies. I think everyone will agree that weekends are
much better than weekdays.

Keira Knightley was born in Teddington, London, England on March 22,
1985. Keira wanted to act from an early age. When Keira was six, she asked
her parents for an agent to manage her career. They accepted, but not until
she agreed that she would only take acting jobs during the school holidays.
After appearing in many plays and films, Keira got her first big break in
Star Wars: The Phantom Menace in 1998, when she was 13. Only three
years later Keira showed her acting ability as a disobedient teenager in the
thriller The Hole. In the same year she played the part of a star footballer in
a local girls’ team in the comedy drama Bend It Like Beckham. In this film

she showed footballing talent as well as acting talent. This was Keira’s
breakthrough role.
As Lara Antipova in the 2002 remake of Doctor Zhivago, Keira found
success with U.K. television viewers. When Pirates of the Caribbean: The
Curse of the Black Pearl was released, Keira played Elizabeth Swann, the
governor’s daughter who is kidnapped by a group of pirates. Soon
afterwards, Keira was one among many stars in the film Love Actually.
Although Keira’s last film King Arthur, was not a smash, at the age of 20
Keira has many more successful years to look forward to.

Read the passage below about Helen Keller and then do the two exercises that
follow.
21
Helen Keller was a scholar, a campaigner for civil rights and world peace, a
philosopher, and an author. Born in Tuscumbia, Alabama on June 27, 1880,
Helen was struck down by meningitis at the age of 18 months, which left
her deaf and blind. For the next five years she was trapped inside her own

silent world, unable to express herself to the outside world.
In 1887, a young woman named Anne Sullivan was employed to teach
Helen. Helen learned to understand speech when she was 10 by feeling her
teacher’s mouth. She learned to read French, German, Greek, and Latin in
Braille. When she was 20, she entered Radcliff College, the sister college of
the prestigious Harvard University. Anne Sullivan stayed by Helen’s side to
help her, acting as her eyes and ears and helping to spell books and lectures
into her pupil’s hand. During her time at college, Helen wrote her first book,
an autobiography called The Story of My Life. Helen later wrote eleven more
books and many more articles.
After graduating Helen enjoyed a new status as a symbol of hope and source
of inspiration to all the disadvantaged people of the world. She worked
tirelessly for the rights of others and Anne worked tirelessly to help her.
Sadly, Anne’s health deteriorated and she died in 1936 after almost 50 years
as Helen’s constant companion.
