In Britain most schools are financed by the state and, for the children attending these
schools, they are free. However; about 5 per cent of the school population attend private
schools, and these are financed from pupils' fees. The general pattern of schooling in
Britain is as follows.
All the children must start school at the age of five. Many have previously attended
play schools or nursery schools, but these are not compulsory. Primary education,
whether state or private, seeks to develop all aspects of the child: physical and emotional,
as well as intellectual and cultural.
Roughly at the age of 11 (but often somewhat. later, especially in the case of private
education), children move to different schools. These are called secondary schools, and
nowadays most of them are comprehensive, that is to say, children of all abilities go to
the same
school. Within some comprehensive schools children are put into different classes
according to their intellectual ability; in others, children of different abilities are all kept
together in the same class.

In the first four or five years at a secondary school, the pupils have a set timetable of
subjects, such as History, English and a foreign language, as well as science subjects and
sports. At the end of this period most pupils take one or two public examinations, though
these do not normally include all the subjects that the students have studied. In fact, a
pupil may take the exam in as many, or as few, subjects as is thought suitable.
After these exams, i.e. at the age of 16 or so, most pupils at state schools leave. Only
about 30 per cent continue at school, compared with about 90 per cent in the small
private sector. For those
that stay on, in either type of school, the next two or three years are spent concentrating
on a small number of subjects, and at the end of these years of concentrated preparation,
the pupils usually take a public school-leaving examination in their three specialist
subjects. Their results in these exams will largely determine whether they now start to
work, or whether they can continue with higher education at a university or college.
Answers (T, F or NI)
____ 01. School education in Britain is free of charge.

Question 8: Read the following passage then answer the questions below (8 points)
A healthful lifestyle leads to a longer, happier, healthier life. Staying healthy means
eating well-balanced diet, getting regular exercise, avoiding things that are bad for the
body and mind.
Nutrition plays a key role in maintaining good health and preventing many diseases. In
spite of all the information available about diets, scientists still believe that good
nutrition can be simple.
There are several basic rules to follow. Keep fat intake low. Eat foods high in
carbohydrates. which are the starches in grains, legumes, (beans, and peas),vegetables,
and some fruits. Avoid too much sugar. Limit salt. Eat lots of fruits and vegetables.
which are high in vitamins.
A healthy lifestyle is an active lifestyle. Lack of proper physical exercise can cause
tiredness, irritability, and poor general health. Physical fitness requires both aerobic
exercise, such as running, bicycle riding , and swimming, and muscle- strengthening
exercise, such as weight-- lifting. Finally, good health is acquired saying no to bad habits
such as smoking, drinking, and over-eating and by avoiding
situations that are constantly stressful. People can take their lives and happiness into their
own hands. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle is the first step.

You’ve got 2 minutes to read all the sentences in Question 1 and Question 2 before
listening.
Question 1. Listen to people talking about different cities. What can you do in each
place? Tick the lists below. You will hear the talk twice.

1. It’s not really the best place to shop. Prices are too high there nowadays. But the
food’s great and quite cheap. It’s a wonderful place just to walk around in and look at the
old buildings. But there aren’t any interesting museums or art galeries, I am afraid.
2. It’s a very nice place to visit if you like being outdoors. The scenery is beautiful. Take
a bus trip around the island, and sail around it if you have time. You can also go skiing.
Unfortunately, the water is too cold there for swimming. You probably won’t like the
local food. It’s
very spicy.
3. There are very good beaches there. Everything‘s quite cheap, so take plenty of money
with you. There’s not much else to do. There’s only one hotel and no interesting old
buildings.

You’ve got 2 minutes to check your answers before we come to Question 2.
Question 2. Listen to people getting ready for their holidays. Tick the things they
are going to take with them. You will hear the talk twice.
a. I am not going to take many things with me this time, so I won’t need the big suitcase.
Let’s see. I think we can buy presents for our friends when we get there. They’ll have
music on the plane, so I won’t need my personal stereo, but I’d better take something to
read. It’ll be fairly cool at this time of the year, so I don’t surpose we’ll be doing any
swimming. I’d better pack the umbrella in case it rains. I’ll need a thick coat, too, if it’s
going to be cold. That’s about everything.
b. I’ll put all our things into the big suitcase. Now, where are all the presents we bought?
I’ll put them in the top. I think I’ll get a new camera as soon as I arrive. I won’t take my
old one. You might want to listen to music on the plane, so I’ll take my personal stereo. I
won’t take these books, they are too heavy. The weather should be good at this time of
the year, so we’ll able to do some swimming. We don’t need coats or umbrellas. I’ll put
in some air-sickness tablets in case we need them.

Passage 1.
Finish-born botanist William Nylander taught at the university of Hesinkifor a number
of years and later moved to Paris, where he lived until his death at the end of the
nineteenth century. During the second half of the last century, he became a prominent
figure in the field of lichenology. Botanists from all over the world sent samples to his
laboratory to be analyzed and classified. It can be said without exaggeration that four of
five lichens bear his name.
He was the first to realize the importance of using chemical reagents in the taxomony of
lichens. He selected the most common reagents used by the chemists of his time.
Lichenologists all over the world still use these reagents, including tincture of odine and
hypochorite in their laboratories. During the first half of the nienteenth century, a
Japanese named Abahima added only one chemical product- Phenol diamines. Nylander
was also responsible for discovering that atmosphere of big cities hindered the lichens’s
development and cause them to disappear. Now they are used to detect atmospheric
pollution. Nevertheless, he considered lichens to be simple plants and vehemently
opposed the widely accepted modern theories that lichens are compound species formed
by two discordant elements: algae and fungi.

It is important to have healthy teeth. Good teeth help us to chew our food. They also

there. Then the decay slowly spreads inside the tooth. Eventually, poison goes into the
blood, and we may feel quite ill.

How can we keep our teeth healthy? Firstly, we ought to visit our dentist twice a year.
He can fill the small holes in our teeth before they destroy the teeth. He can examine our
teeth to check that they are growing in the right way. Unfortunately, many people wait
until they have toothache before they see a dentist. Secondly, we should brush our teeth
with a toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste at least twice a day- once after breakfast and
once before we go to bed. We can also use wooden toothpicks to clean between our teeth
after a meal. Thirdly, we should eat food that is good for our teeth and our body: milk,
cheese, fish, brown bread, potatoes, red rice, raw vegetables and fresh fruit. Chocolates,
sweets, biscuits and cakes are bad, especially when we eat them between meals. They are
harmful because they stick to our teeth and cause decay.
1. Good teeth help us to chew our food and to look nice.
2. The decay usually begins firstly inside the tooth or from the blood.
3. The decay spreads inside the tooth after it begins in a little crack in the enamel
covering of the tooth.
4. Dentists can help us keep our teeth healthy.
5. Dentists can help us brush our teeth twice a year.
6. Most people go to see a dentist before they have toothache.
7. We should brush our teeth at least twice a day with fluoride toothpaste.
8. Some kinds of food are good for our teeth while some others are harmful.
