VII. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to
indicate the correct answer for each of the questions from 61 to 65.
When I injured my back I had to take a break from my running career. I decided to give them
the confidence to get out and run.
I decided to start a running club for women in my area because I was annoyed by the attitude
of many race organizers. They complain about the lack of women in the sport but also use this as
an excuse for not providing separate changing facilities.
I put up posters 40 women, young and old, fit and unfit, joined. All of them were attracted by
the idea of losing weight but I don’t think they had really thought about running before. When or
if they did, they had a picture of painful training. They didn’t think of chatting and smiling while
running in beautiful places, like by a river.
At first they ran for only a minute- now they can run for thirty minutes. They’ve also learned
from other runners about diet and keeping fit in general.
I wanted to do something for women’s running and I’ve had so much pleasure watching their
progress- almost as much as they’ve had themselves.
Question 61: What is the writer’s main aim in writing the text?
A. to describe good running methods.

D. to describe her own running career.
Question 62: What would a reader find out from the text?
A. the teaching skills of the writer.
B. the best kinds of places for running.
C. how runners can avoid injuring themselves.
D. the progress made by the women in the club.
Question 63: What is the writer’s opinion of the runners she trained?
A. They were too serious.
B. They were difficult to train.
C. They needed encouraging.
D. They couldn’t develop their skills.
Question 64: Why did the women join the running club?
A. to help them lose weight

VIII. Read the following passage and Decide if the statements are TRUE, FALSE or NOT
STATED
Living in the modern world
Pollution is one of the greatest problems facing mankind. The nuclear accident at Chernobyl
and the poisoning of the river Rhine by chemicals are just two recent examples of disasters
affecting the environment. What can be done? Some people say there is no practical solution.
However, I believe the problem can be dealt with on three levels: internationally, nationally, and
last but not least, on a personal level.
Let us begin by looking at the type of international action that can be taken. The first point I

would like to make is that when a disaster such as that at Chernobyl occurs, it affects millions of
people. Radiation does not respect international borders. In my opinion, there should be strict
reactors should be regularly inspected by teams of international experts. Similarly, if a country
wishes to get rid of nuclear waste by dumping it at sea, it should only be allowed once the matter
has been thoroughly discussed by all the countries that would be affected. Environmental
disasters can be avoided.
Let us now look at what can be done on a national level. Governments must be prepared to
take action against pollution. For instance, air pollution could be reduced if car manufacturers
and companies were made to fit effective filters on car exhausts and factory chimneys. These
measures would in turn help to reduce the damage caused to lakes and forests by acid rain.
Lastly, what can we do as individuals? Firstly, I believe we should all be prepared to make
changes to our lifestyles. Personally, I try and use public transport or my bicycle as much as
possible. When I buy petrol, I make sure it is the lead free variety. Secondly, we can protest
against companies responsible for pollution by making our opinions known and hitting them in
the pocket. For example, if the public boycotted products such as aerosols, which damage the
ozone layer, the manufacturers would have to change their packaging policies. We would show
them that we are not prepared to let them get away with destroying the environment.
To sum up, I have tried to show that there are steps that can be taken in the fight against
pollution. It is a problem that can be solved if given the right level of commitment. However,
only by acting as individuals first can we expect governments to act in their turn.
Question 66: Pollution gets a lot of publicity.
A. true
B. false
C. not stated
Question 67: Many people accept pollution as part of life.
A. true
B. false
C. not stated
Question 68: The writer is a pessimist.
A. true

B. false
C. not stated
Question 69: Chernobyl was nobody’s fault.
A. true
B. false
C. not stated
Question 70: The writer cannot afford to use his bicycle all the time.
A. true
B. false
C. not stated
IX. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to
indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 71 to 80.
We heard of children who have imaginary playmates. I get lots of letters from parents about
them and I always say the same thing; don’t say there is not one there. What you are putting
down to imagination could be a spirit child. One dad wrote to me to say he was getting very
worried about his child. He told me his son had an imaginary friend called Robbie, and was
forever saying thing like “Don’t set off yet, Robbie is not in the car”. I told him “Your child can
actually see that boy. Don’t say anything. He will either grow out of it and go on to more worldly
things or he will develop into a good medium."
I was about six or seven when I first saw the spirit children. I’d had rheumatic fever and had to
be in a pushchair. I don’t know how but I knew that many people could not see Christopher and
Pansy, I saw them a lot. I could never do maths but Christopher and Pansy helped me pass my
exams! So there is nothing frightening about children having imaginary friends, especially if
they have been close. I remember one little boy telling her mother “You don’t have to turn off
the light tonight, grandmother will do it!” Her mother watched him go upstairs on his own that
night and the lights went off! It scares the life out of some parents. But you just have to accept
that his grandmother loved him very much and she had always tucked him in. it was a routine .
Most children are psychic up to the age of 11 or 12. My first psychic experience happened
when I was four. There was a fire in the house nearby and all the neighbors were crying because
little Tom died in the fire. I saw Tom’s spirit walking around them. When I told my father I saw

Tom’s spirit walking said “If you did then you did!” but mother warned me that I would end up
in a mental hospital and I did. Nearly forty years later I was working as a nurse in one!
