Once when I was a teenager, I went to my Aunt Leah’s house.
Aunt Leah collected pottery, and when I got there, she said me
that she wants to show me her new bowl. She told she has just
bought it. It was beautiful. When Aunt Leah went to answer
the door; I picked up the bowl. It slipped from my hands and
smashed to pieces on the floor. When Aunt came back, I
screamed and said what the cat had just broken your new
bowl. Aunt Leah got this funny look on her face and told me
that it isn’t important. I didn’t sleep at all that night, and the
next morning, I called my aunt and confessed that I have
broken her bowl. She said I had known that all along. I
promised that I am going to buy her a new one someday. We
still laugh about the story today.

III. READING (6,0 points)
Activity 1: Read the following passage and circle the letter A, B, C or D next to the right
word in each number to complete the passage.
During the winter, most London auctioneers have wine auctions. Some are of
wines for (1) drinking, but most are of fine wines. Last winter, at Christies, a
dozen bottles of Lafite 1945 were (2) down at £158 the bottle. 1945 and 1961
are the two most (3) vintage years for claret. Of course, that is not the maximum
you could pay. Not (4) ago, an American at Christies paid £8,500 for one bottle of
Lafite 1806.
Sometimes, it is a matter of personal (5) by the very rich. At other times
there can be a (6) objective. Last October, a restaurateur from Memphis, paid
£9,000 for a magnum - that is, a two-bottle size - of 1864 Lafite. He (7) 30
people $1,500 each for a dinner with a small glass of the wine. It was (8) ten


5
times the cost of the wine in publicity for his restaurant. Of course, some people buy wine
purely for investment. On the other hand, a real wine lover will use the (9) value
of good wine to pay for his own drinking. A syndicate of four will buy a (10) of
Lafite 1945 at £2,000. Each takes three bottles. Then each drinks one bottle, and keeps the
other two to sell later at the (11) price as the three cost in the first place. That is,
naturally, taking inflation into (12) . But there is no (13) that a bottle
of wine at $1,000 is a hundred times (14) than one that costs $10. Perhaps the top
price you can pay for wine to enjoy for drinking is $100 a bottle. Above $100, you are

paying for something (15) than taste.

Activity 2: Fill in each gap with ONE suitable word to complete the passage below.
Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone (1) …….………. became a very
famous man. He also wrote an article (2) …… ……… he presented in 1883. His
research paper was (3) ……….…… deaf people.
In (4) ……….………. article, Dr. Bell explained why there were so (5)
………….… … deaf children. He believed (6) ……….……… when deaf adults married
each other, (7) …….….………. would have deaf children. He thought that this (8)
……….….…… bad. Bell blamed (9) ……….…….…… schools for the deaf for causing
marriages between deaf people. He did (10) ……….… …… like the idea of these
intermarriages and tried to think of ways to stop (11) ……….….… . He would have
preferred that (12) …………………children be taught at hearing schools. He did not
support schools for the deaf. Bell felt that deaf people (13) ……….…… not mix with
hearing people if they went to separate schools.
Bell was upset about other things, too. He noticed that deaf people socialized with
other deaf people. He felt that (14) ………… ……… with other deaf people was bad.
Deaf people should socialize with hearing people, he thought. Bell tried to start a new law
that would make it illegal for deaf people to marry each other. He gave up his idea (15)
……………………… he realized that such a law could not be enforced.

Activity 3: Read the text below and write "T" next to the statement if it is true; write "F"

Activity 4: Read the article carefully and answer the following questions by writing the
name of the person next to his or her opinion. Sometimes you must choose more than one
person. The first one has been done for you as an example.

Are you too old to be a child, but too young to be a teenager? We interviewed five
kids between the ages of ten and fourteen, and asked them what were the most difficult
things about being their age. Here are their replies.
Robyn, aged ten I think the main problem when you are ten is that if you want to do
something, or you don't like something, no-one cares, because "you're just a kid". My

sister is just two years older than me, yet she is allowed to do all sorts of things I can't,
because everyone thinks I'm still a baby. I don't really care about boys, but I have a friend
called Darren. He's nice, but he's not a boyfriend or anything like that.
Sharon, aged eleven. At school it can be difficult with some of the other girls.
There are problems with bullies, and often we have too much schoolwork to do. It's made
even more difficult at home, where sometimes I feel unhappy and frustrated that I can't get
on with my brothers and sisters, and sometimes we fight and then our parents get angry
with us.


7
Terry, aged twelve. I have trouble growing up, because I feel I have no control over
my body. Going through puberty is difficult and sometimes it's frightening. You get
pimples, and your voice changes and sometimes you feel really self-conscious. Also, you
have more responsibilities than you had before and you spend a lot of time away from
your family so you have to learn how to look after yourself. All your friends seem to know
what they're doing, and sometimes you feel very lonely and left out.
Darren, aged thirteen I get really stressed out, because there is so much
schoolwork. You've always got homework, and tests to do at the school. And it's
frightening that what you do now can change the way the rest of your life will be.
Sometimes, we don't know what to do, and we don't know who we can ask for help. Also,
there is the question of girls. We feel very embarrassed and self-conscious, everybody
talks about going out with them all the time, and sometimes I feel that I'm the only one
who doesn't know what to do when I'm around girls.
Susan, aged fourteen. I spend a lot of time with girls who are my age, and
sometimes I have to fit in with them, even if I don't really agree with it sometimes.
Otherwise, people make you feel you are weird, and different. Also, you don't know what
to do about boys. Everybody else has got a boyfriend except me, but so many of the boys
are just so stupid I couldn't go out with them. It would be nice to talk to someone about it,
but the only people I know well are my friends the same age, and none of them will admit

they have any problems.

1. Who thinks that their friends are coping better than they are? Terry, Darren
2. Who feels that the physical changes of adolescence are disturbing? ……………………
3. Who feels ignored? ………………………………………………………………………
4. Who worries about the future? …………………………………………….…………….
5. Who finds that being more independent has problems? ……………………….………
6. Who has problems with people at school? ………………………………………………
7. Who has the most problems at home? (two answers) ………………………….………
8. Who tries hardest to get on with their friends? ………………………………………….
9. Who seems happiest with someone of the opposite sex? ……………………………….
10. Who sometimes feel uncomfortable with themselves? (two answers) ………………
11. Who would like to be older? ……………………………………………………………
