IV. Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer.
Between the Revolutionary period and the World War I, the United States post office was set out to
improve transportation of the post office mails. From those early days to the present, the post office has
helped develop and subsidize every new mode transportation in the United States. Transportation has been
the most important element in mail delivery. Even when the general public had still suspected of the
security of a new means of transportation, the post office experimented with inventions that offered
potential for moving the mail faster, occasionally suffering embarrassment, ridicule, or even abuse in the
process. As mail delivery evolved from foot to horseback, stagecoach, steamboat, railroad, automobile,
and airplane, with intermediate and overlapping use of balloons, and helicopters, post office mail contracts
ensured the income necessary to build the great highways, rail lines, and airways that eventually spanned
the continent. By the turn of the 19th century, the U.S. Post Office had purchased a number of
stagecoaches for operation on the nation’s better post roads – a post road being any road on which the
mail travels – and continued to encourage new designs to improve passenger comfort and carry mail

When the first white men came to America, they found vast amounts of natural resources of
tremendous value. Forests covered a large part of the nation; later gas, oil and minerals were found in
unbelievable amounts. There was a great abundance of very fertile soil. Forests, prairies, streams and
rivers abounded with wildlife . So vast were these resources to make way for farmland. Grassland and
prairies were ploughed and harrowed. Minerals and soil were used in great quantities to supply power

companies. Mammals and birds were slaughtered for food and sport.
Within a short time, the results were obvious. Floods caused millions of dollars` worth of damage
yearly. The very fertile soil washed away or blew up in great clouds. The seemingly inexhaustible oil and
minerals showed signs of depletion. Rivers were filled with silt from eroding farms and wastes from

mammals seemed on the verge of going. Future timber shortages were predicted.

The Asian Games owes its origins to small Asian multi-sport competitions. The Far Eastern
Championship Games were created to show unity and cooperation among three nations: Japan, the
Philippines and China. The first games were held in Manila, the Philippines in 1931. Other Asian nations
participated after it was organized. After World War II, a number of Asian countries became independent.
Many of the new independent Asian countries wanted to use a new type of competition where Asian
dominance should not be shown by violence and should be strengthened by mutual understanding. In
August 1948, during the 14th Olympic Games in London, India representative Guru Dutt Sondhi proposed
to sports leaders of the Asian teams the idea of having discussions about holding the Asian Games. They
agreed to form the Asian Athletic Federation. A preparatory was set up to draft the charter for the Asian
amateur athletic federation. In February, 1949, the Asian athletic federation was formed and used the

IV. Circle the item among A, B, C or D that best answers the question about the passage.
I like to be near water – sea, lake or river. That I probably because I was born in a village by the
sea, and I have lived most of my life close to water. When I am in some places which is far from lake,
river and sea, I am restless and I always feel that there is something missing, even though it is sometimes
hard for me to decide what it is. Of course, the sports I like are the ones which need water – sailing,
rowing and swimming. It is possible to swim in small swimming pools, but rowing and sailing are
impossible without a lot of water. Rowing is best in a river and sailing on the sea or a big lake, but one can
do some sailing on a river and one can certainly row on a lake or the sea when the weather is good. Of the
three sports – swimming, rowing and sailing – I like rowing best because it is the easiest to continue

during the winter, when the water is too cold for comfortable swimming and the sea is often too rough for
sailing. Even on the coldest day one row, only ice on the water or thick fog can stop one. Sometimes it is
so cold when I go out rowing that drop of water freeze wherever they fall. In such weather, it is not very
pleasant to swim as one cannot stay in the water very long. However, when is rowing, one gets warmer the
longer one goes on.
