“Women hold up half the sky”. This is an old Chinese saying. However, research shows that perhaps
women do more than the share of “holding up the sky”.
Fifty percent of the world’s population are women, but in nearly two-thirds of all working hours, the
work is done by women. They do most of the domestic work, for example, cooking and washing clothes.
Millions also work outside the home. Women hold forty percent of the world’s jobs. For this work, they
earn only 40 to 60 percent as much as men, and of course they earn nothing for their domestic work.
In developing countries, where three-fourths of the world’s population live, women produce more
than half of the food. In Africa, 80 percent of all agricultural work is done by women.
In parts of Africa, this is a typical day for a village woman. At 4.45 am she gets up, washes, and
eats. It takes her half an hour to walk to the fields, and she works there until 3.00 pm. She collects
firewood until 4.00 pm then comes back home. She spends the next hour and a half preparing food to
cook. Then she collects water for another hour. From 6.30 to 8.30 she cooks. After dinner, she spends an
hour washing the dishes. She goes to bed at 9.30 pm.
1. What is “domestic work”?
A. housework B. firework C. homework D. gardening
2. The average woman earns ______ the average man.
A. more than B. less than C. the same as D. the most
3. In Africa, women do _______ of all agricultural work.
A. four-fifths B. three-fourth s C. two-thirds D. one-fifth

C. bringing water home D. preparing food for children going to school

their diet, they have high rates of cancer and heart disease. In Japan, in contrast, people eat large amounts
of grains and very little meat. The Japanese also have low rates of cancer and heart disease. In fact the
Japanese live longer than anyone else in the world. Unfortunately, when people move to the US, the rates
of heart disease and cancer increase as their diet changes. Moreover, as hamburgers, ice-cream, and other
high fat food become popular in Japan, the rates of heart disease and cancer are increasing there as well.
People are also eating more meat and dairy products in other countries such as Cuba, Mauritius and

meat and fewer dairy products.

III. Read the passage below and choose the best option A, B, C or D (10 points)
HUNGRY POP STARS
Valerie Jones runs a company called Peanuts whose job is to look after pop stars and pop
groups when they go on tour. She is the person who feeds the stars and she’s been doing it for the
past ten years.
When the stars are playing at a festival, Valerie may have to cook for up to a thousand people, which
includes all the crew and the people who work backstage. She erects a marquee-a huge tent-and the food
is served buffet style from a central serving area. She has to cater for different tastes, so there are
normally four or more choices of menu. She also has to look after people who may be on special diet or
some singers don’t eat dairy food before a concert.
She drives an enormous truck full of kitchen equipment and hires at least three walk-in refrigerators, a
dishwashing unit and portable cabins which act as storerooms and office.
All the bands have to queue up to be served and everyone has to have a meal ticket. The stars are
usually more relaxed when they are eating as no one is bothering them for autographs, although Valerie
says that sometimes the security men and the stars’ managers are more trouble than the stars
themselves.
There are certain things which she always has to keep in stock like herbal teas and her own particular
mixture of honey, lemon and ginger which singers like to keep in flasks on stage with them when they are

singing. Years ago bands used to drink quite a lot of alcohol, but these days they’re much healthier. Most
bands drink fresh fruit juice and prefer to eat salads.
A lot of people in the bands are quite young and they’re not used to very expensive food, so Valerie
prepares plain food unless a band sends her a “rider”. This is a list of special requirements. When people
are tired, unwell or homesick they like to have familiar “comfort” food so she keeps a stock of people’s
requirements just in case. As a result of all this Valerie says she has become an expert shopper and in
less than an hour in a supermarket she can spend £1000.
A lot of bands won’t eat before a concert because they’re too nervous, so Valerie and her staff can
end up working very long hours as they have to be around to provide what people want at two or three in
the morning. One thing Valerie has noticed is that the madder a band is on stage, the more normal they
are when they are off it. She says she is amazed at the change in behavior. A really wild singer can turn
out to be really quiet and polite off stage.
66. Peanuts is the name of _________.
A. a pop band B. a pop star C. a pop concert D. a company
67. Valerie has to provided a range of food because _________.
A. people are very fussy about what they eat B. people are used to eating in restaurants
C. there is such a wide variety of preferences D. there is such a demand for special menus
68. The singers are less nervous when they are eating because _________.
A. their security men are with them B. there are no fans hanging around
C. their managers fuss over them D. the bands enjoy eating together.
69. Why does Valerie have to keep a supply of certain drinks?
A. the bands really rely on a special recipe B. the bands like to drink alcohol
C. the bands prefer herbal tea to coffee D. the bands take fruit juice on stage
70. What do most bands like best to eat?
A. rich food B. well-cooked food C. junk food D. simple food
71. What does “just in case” in paragraph 5 refer to?
A. Valerie’s supply of more expensive food
B. Valerie’s list of “riders” from the different bands
C. Valerie’s supply of special food for various people
D. Valerie’s understanding of people feeling sick
