Snake Lovers

Part 2: Questions 1-5 Circle the letter next to the correct explanation A, B or C

Around the world there are men and women who make their living in unusual ways. Most of us would
not do such jobs for a day, let alone pursue them as a lifelong career. However, the lifespan of these people
may not be that long. They spend their days working with snakes.
Boonreung Bauchan is listed in the book of Guinness World Records for his feat of spending seven days
in a pen filled with snakes. This Thai snake charmer performed with his pet snakes to earn money to
support his family. During his performances, he danced with snakes, held them around his body, and even
kissed them. One day, a cobra kissed him back. He died before he reached the hospital. Although he left
behind several boxes of pet snakes, no one in his family was bold enough to touch them. Instead of carrying
on with the snake shows, they decided to donate the snakes to the zoo.
In Australia, John Cann carries on his family’s tradition of reptile shows. His parents started their snake

PART 2: Questions 1-5
 Look at the sign in each question.
 Someone asks you what it means.

Jeanne Dixon

Jeanne Dixon began making predictions when she was a little girl. She had a crystal ball that she used
to look into the future. She correctly predicted several events, including the death of her grandfather. She
also learned to use astrology. When she was just eight years old, a palm reader told her fortune. The palm
reader said that Jeanne would become famous for her unique ability to predict the future.
Dixon made many predictions about the future throughout her life, but the one that brought her the most

fame was her prediction of the assassination of President Kennedy. In 1952, she had a vision. She saw a
man with blue eyes living in the White House. He was going to die a violent death. Eight years later, John
Kennedy, a man with blue eyes, became president of the United States. On November 22 nd, 1963, Jeanne
told her friends, “Something terrible is going to happen today.” Then, they heard an announcement.
President Kennedy had been shot.
Another of Dixon’s major predictions was the death of President Kennedy’s brother Robert. One day,
she was walking through a hotel in Los Angeles. Suddenly, she stopped and said, “Robert Kennedy is
going to be killed here.” Soon after that, in June 1968, Robert Kennedy was shot in that exact place.
Dixon accurately predicted the deaths of several other celebrities. She also predicted other kinds of
events, for example, a big earthquake in Alaska in 1964. She made a number of wrong predictions as well,
but people don’t seem to remember as many of these.
Dixon didn’t keep any fees she earned from making predictions. She donated all the money to a charity
that supported educational and health projects for children. She was a vegetarian and often prepared healthy

Wong Tai Sin Temple

Wong Tai Sin Temple, with its colorful architecture and peaceful gardens, sits among the high-rise
buildings of Hong Kong. It is one of the more popular places to visit in the city. It is especially known for
the fortune-tellers that work there.
People visit the temple to honor Wong Tai Sin, a shepherd who lived hundreds of years ago. According to
legend, at the age of fifteen he learned the secret of making a medicine that could cure all illnesses. He
lived alone for forty years while he worked to perfect this magic medicine.
Nowadays, visitors to the temple bring flowers and incense as offerings for Wong Tai Sin. They pray for
good health and for good luck in business. Most of all, they pray for guidance for the future. This is
because Wong Tai Sin was known not only for his ability to cure illnesses, but also for his skill at correctly
predicting the future. The temple has the largest concentration of fortune-tellers in Asia. There can be as
many as 150 fortune-tellers working there at any one time.
The most common fortune-telling method at the temple is the use of fortune sticks, called chim. Each chim
has a number on it. You shake a container of sticks until one falls out. Then, you take the stick to a fortuneteller, who will interpret it for you. If you want to try something different, there are other fortune-telling
methods to choose from. For a small fee, a fortune-teller will read your face or palm, consult the ancient
book, the I Ching, or use astrology to predict your future.
Wong Tai Sin Temple is known for its brightly colored buildings decorated with beautiful paintings and
intricate carvings. It also contains the Good Wish Garden with a stream, waterfall, and ponds. If you want
to know your future, or just want to enjoy a few moments of the present in a beautiful spot, visit Wong Tai
Sin Temple.

Question 6-10
Read the following passage and then circle the best answer A, B,C, or D

Tea Leaves
The art of predicting the future with tea leaves has been practiced in both Asia and Europe for centuries.
It’s not hard to try doing it yourself.
First, brew yourself a cup of tea. You can use any kind of loose tea, but it’s best to drink it from a wide,
white cup. This makes it easy to see the leaves. Relax and enjoy your tea. Drink it all, but leave a spoonful
at the bottom of the cup. Now pick up the cup and move it three times from right to left. Turn it upside
down over a saucer to let the liquid drain out. Turn it right side up again, and now you are ready to read the
leaves.
When you interpret the leaves, pay attention to their position in the cup. Leaves near the top represent
the near future, while leaves near the bottom represent the distant future. Leaves near the cup’s handle
represent yourself or your home. The images in the leaves aren’t always distinct, but if you look carefully,
some pictures will appear.
Both birds and airplanes mean that you will make a journey. Birds also represent good
luck. A cross or a snake, on the other hand, means that bad luck will come your way. A baby means that
you will have small worries. Ladders and stars mean that you will reach your dream. Apples mean the
same.
If you need money, look for a diamond, but be careful of clouds. Diamonds mean that you will receive
money unexpectedly, but clouds mean that you will have financial problems. If you are looking for love,
maybe you will see a moon or a cage in the leaves. A moon represents romance, and a cage represents
marriage.
Both trees and books are lucky symbols. Trees represent good health and long life,
and an open book means good news. Eyeglasses mean that good and surprising things will happen.

PART 2: Question 6-10
Read the following passage and then circle the best answer A, B,C, or D
Pompeii
The ancient Roman town of Pompeii sat at the foot of the giant volcano Vesuvius in southern Italy. The
town and the volcano had lived peacefully side by side for years. Pompeii’s citizens lived a good life. Their
town was a wealthy port and a popular resort. Many rich Romans had their vacation homes there. The
theaters, shops, and temples were filled with activity. All this ended on August 24th in the year 79 A.D.
At about noon on August 24th , a great cloud of ash and rocks spewed out of the top of Vesuvius,
ascending 20 kilometers into the air. The ash and rocks began to rain down on the citizens of Pompeii and
other nearby towns. Soon, the roofs of Pompeii were covered with a layer of volcanic material that was
about three meters thick. Buildings started collapsing under the heavy weight. By this time, people had
already started escaping from the town. Taking what possessions they could and calling fearfully to their
loved ones to join them, they escaped to the countryside, as far from the town as they could go. By evening,

most of the residents had left Pompeii.
But Vesuvius hadn’t finished yet. All night long, it continued to spew rock and ash high into the air.
The next morning, steaming lava poured out of the volcano and rolled down its sides toward Pompeii. The
lava buried the town in a layer so deep that only the tops of the very tallest buildings could be seen. Later,
some people returned to the town to try to dig their possessions out of the hardened lava, but of course no
one could live there any more. The buried town lay abandoned for hundreds of years.
In 1748, the long-forgotten town was rediscovered. Since then, a number of excavations have been
made uncovering a great deal of information about ancient Roman life. Architecture, art, and other
examples of Roman culture were all perfectly preserved by the lava. Excavators have also uncovered the
bodies of about 2,000 Pompeii citizens who, unable to escape the rushing wave of lava, became frozen in it
forever.

A. The ancient Roman Empire

Question 6-10
Read the following passage and then circle the best answer A, B,C, or D
The Great Molasses Flood
Molasses, a sweet syrup made from sugarcane, is used in baking. There’s an old saying “as slow as
molasses in January” because cold molasses becomes very thick and doesn’t pour easily. This was proven
to be an inaccurate description in January of 1919, when a giant wave of molasses rushed through the
streets of Boston at a speed of almost 60 kilometers an hour. It caused a disaster that could have been

avoided. It was brought about by the stupidity of one man.
A Boston company built a huge molasses storage tank. The tank was over 1 6 meters tall and 30 meters
wide. When it was finished, no one tested the tank to see if it leaked. Millions of liters of the sticky, sweet
liquid were added to the tank. It did leak. Rather than fix the leaks, the man in charge painted the tank
brown, the color of molasses, so the leaks were not so evident.
Just after noon on January 15th, people in the area heard a loud cracking noise followed by a muffled
roar. The leaking storage tank had exploded, sending a ten-meter-high wave of molasses flowing through
the nearby streets. It wrecked everything in its path -people’s homes, warehouses, even part of the local
train line. It tossed wagons, horses, and furniture into the air. Several people and animals were drowned by
the swiftly moving wave of syrup. All in all, 21 people, 12 horses, and one cat were killed, and 150 people
were injured.
The molasses was almost a meter deep in the streets around the storage tank. Rescue work was nearly
impossible because rescuers couldn’t walk through the sticky stuff. It sucked the shoes right off their feet.
Molasses filled the cellars of neighborhood houses, and it took months to pump it out. The streets and
buildings had to be washed with salt water because fresh water couldn’t remove the stuff. As a result of the
flood and ensuing clean up, Boston Harbor was dark brown for six months. To this day, some people claim
that on a hot day they can still smell molasses in the neighborhood.
6. What is this passage mainly about?
A. A disaster in Boston
B. Clean up of Boston Harbor
C. Different ways to use molasses
D. The history of a molasses company
7. Why did the man paint the storage tank brown?
A. Brown was his favorite color.
B. He had many extra liters of brown paint.
C. He didn’t want to fix the leaks in the tank.
D. A paint company gave him free brown paint.
8.. How fast did the wave of molasses move?
A. Ten meters an hour
B. Sixteen meters an hour

C. Sixteen kilometers an hour
D. Sixty kilometers an hour

A. The angry shouts of neighborhood residents
B. The noise of a train stuck in the molasses

Question 6-10
Read the following passage and then circle the best answer A, B,C, or D
Chinese White Dolphins
When one thinks of the colorful creatures of the sea, dolphins are not usually the first to come to mind.
Though they are born dark gray like other dolphins, Chinese white dolphins become pink by the time they
reach maturity. There are a number of theories about why they change color over time. Some biologists
believe it is because the dolphins eat shellfish. Others say it is their blood showing through their skin,
similar to humans when we blush. Their rarity has led Chinese white dolphins to become both a tourist
attraction and an endangered species.
Despite the damage that has been done to the western waters of Hong Kong, they are still the preferred
habitat of the Chinese white dolphin. The construction of Hong Kong’s Chep Lap Kok Airport in the late
1990s caused a great deal of stress for the local dolphins. Their population dropped from a mere 400 or so
to less than 100. While the airport was under construction, boat traffic increased, the water became
polluted, and the noise disrupted the dolphins’ ability to navigate and communicate. Most of the baby
dolphins that were born during the construction of this airport did not survive. Since so few of these
dolphins reach the age of reproduction, the species is in danger of extinction.
People come from near and far to watch the playful behavior of these rare dolphins, which perform like
acrobats in their natural environment. In a move known as breeching, a dolphin jumps right out of the
water, flopping back in with a gigantic splash. Though they appear to be playing, dolphins may breech in
order to scare off predators, or simply to scratch an itch. Tourists also love to spot Chinese white dolphins
that are spy hopping. With this trick, dolphins come halfway out of the water in order to snoop around. The
curiosity of humans and dolphins combined, however, creates various dangers for these rare animals.
Humans in their boats get too close to the dolphins. Many dolphins are injured or killed by fishing gear and
boat engines.

6. What is this passage mainly about?
A. Dolphin tricks
B. Colors of dolphins
C. Dangers for dolphins
D. A rare and interesting dolphin
7. Why are Chinese white dolphins pink?
A. They eat shellfish.
B. They blush.
C. Their blood is very bright.
D. Nobody knows for sure.
8. What was a result of construction in the waters near Hong Kong?
A. The dolphins had difficulty communicating.
B. The dolphins disrupted work on the airport.
C. The dolphins found another place to live.
D. The dolphins stopped having babies
9. Why might dolphins sometimes get close to tourists?
A. The dolphins are hungry.
B. The dolphins are curious.
C. The dolphins want to be scratched.
D. The dolphins like the sound of boat engines.
10. What does dropped mean paragraph 2?

The Dating Supermarket
Although Paris is often considered the city of romance, close to a million adults who call it home are
single. Many single people say that France's capital is one of the most difficult places to meet people. The
complaints of this lonely group have inspired a new phenomenon known as "supermarket dating". At
Galerie Lafayette Gourmet, singles can shop for more than just the items on their grocery list. They can

looking for love. They try to arrive early because the baskets disappear quickly, and then they have to wait
in line for their turn to wander the store aisles. With purple baskets in hand, shoppers can consider their
romantic options while they pick out their groceries. When they are ready to pay, they can go to the
checkout line that is especially for singles who want to chat.
Most of the people who look for love in the supermarket are skeptical of Internet dating. They know
that it is too easy to embellish one's appearance or to lie about one's age over the Internet. The supermarket,
on the other hand, is considered a safe and casual environment in which to meet a potential match. In
addition, what one finds in another's grocery basket can say a thing or two about that person's character or
intentions. Buying pet food can be a man's way of showing a potential match that he has a sensitive side.
Women who fill their baskets with low – fat food show their healthy style of living. These days it's possible
to find much more than food at a grocery store.

David Beckham has always had a passion for soccer (or football, as it is known in his country,
England). As a boy, he dreamed about playing for Manchester United. In 1991, his wish came true when he
qualified for United’s junior team. Beckham’s team won the Football Association Youth Cup in his first
season. The next year, when he was only 18 years old, he became a professional player. By outshining the
other players on his team, Beckham landed the role of team captain. Fans and teammates were amazed by
how well he took penalty kicks and how far he could kick the ball. Scoring a goal from the halfway line
proved that he deserved to be the highest-paid soccer player in the world. Changing teams from Manchester
United to Real Madrid only heightened Beckham’s popularity.
One of the reasons people love David Beckham is because he is not afraid to show his true self.
Appearing in public in a sarong or with painted nails does not seem to faze him. While many celebrities try
to hide from the media, Beckham loves to experiment with fashion in the public eye. His hair and fashion

styles have set trends all over the world. After the 2002 World Cup, there were blond Mohawks throughout
Korea. When Beckham shaved off half of an eyebrow, many young people did the same thing. In Japan,
one company made a three-meter-high chocolate statue of Beckham and convinced him to be their
spokesperson. There are other sides to Beckham’s personality, too. Many fans love the fact that he is also a
dedicated father: he and his wife, Victoria, have three children.

Where Did Soccer Originate?
There is great debate over when the first soccer game was played. Many historians believe that the
first games involving kicking a ball were played by Chinese soldiers during the Han Dynasty over 2,000
years ago. A similar game was played in Japan, Greece, and Rome. In some cultures, the ball symbolized
the sun. The purpose of the game was to capture “the sun” and ensure a good growing season.

In medieval times, the European version only remotely resembled the game of soccer that exists
today. It was much more violent in nature, and involved two teams, each one as large as an entire town or
community. Historical records show that soccer was sometimes even played with a human head. Tripping
and biting were also allowed. Before the 1800s, the game was outlawed throughout much of England. The
penalty for playing soccer was time in jail.
In the 1800s, students in England’s colleges and universities became obsessed with the game once
again. This time, rules were established to keep control over the violence and the size of the teams.
However, every school had its own rules, which made it hard for them to compete against each other. The
Football Association was established in 1863 in order to set down rules and govern the matches between

the different teams. Six years later, the game officially became a “no hands” sport.
The sport also gained popularity in the British navy. Sailors brought their soccer balls on board and
played the game in their free time. Young people around the world showed up to watch the sailors play and
then went home and organized their own teams. By the twentieth century, the whole world was playing
soccer. In 1908, soccer became an Olympic sport. This helped make soccer the most popular spectator sport
in the world. The first World Cup was held in 1930 in South America. Every four years, the top
professionals compete to bring home the World Cup trophy.
