A. Langston Hughes was one of the greatest American writers of the
twentieth century. He was born in Joplin, Missouri, and moved to
Cleveland at the age of fourteen. Four years later he went to Mexico and
spent one year there before attending Columbia University in New York.
For a few years after that he roamed the world as a seaman, visiting
ports around the world and writing some poetry. He returned to the
United States and attended Lincoln University, where he won the Writer
Bynner Prize for undergraduate poetry. After graduating in 1928, he

traveled to Spain and to Russia. His best novels include “Not Without
Laughter” and “The Big Sea”. He wrote an autobiography in 1956 and
also published his collections of poetry then.

B. Many people like to keep pets. Dogs and cats are very popular pets. Some
people, however, keep birds or goldfish. They need less space and are easier
to look after.
If you want to have a pet, you can buy one from a pet shop but you must be
careful to buy a sick animal. It is best if you know something about the pet
you want. This helps you choose a healthy pet. However if you do not have
much money and know very little about animals, you can visit the Royal
Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA).
The first Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals was founded in
England in 1821. It was set up to make sure that all animals are treated
with kindness. The RSPCA in Hong Kong carries out this aim. The RSPCA
officers collect animals which have no homes and are left in the street. They
look after them until they are healthy again. People visiting the RSPCA may
choose their pets from these animals and you can be sure that you will get a

healthy pet. If later your pet becomes ill, you can take it to the doctors at
RSPCA for treatment.
When you have a pet, it is very important that you look after it properly. You
must remember to feed it at suitable times. You should also give it a clean

and comfortable place to rest. Your pet will be happy and healthy if you love
it and care for it properly.

C. In America there is no national television as there is in some countries.
All the stations are run commercially. Advertisers sponsor shows, they
interrupt the shows every few minutes to advertise the things they are selling.
Television is criticized for its crime shows; actually there are many other
special shows of real value. There are also educational television stations
which are trying out new types of high quality programs. They give courses in
foreign languages and in literature which viewers can follow and even take
examinations later. Some schools have a regular class on T.V, such as science,
several hours a week.

D. Brighton is the largest seaside resort in the south-east of England. At
first the town was a fishing village and did not become popular until about
1800. Rich people began to visit Brighton in large numbers and when King
George IV decided to build a house there, it became very fashionable. The King
continued to visit it until 1827, but Queen Victoria did not like the house. It is
open to the public every day and there is a special exhibition there in the
summer.
Brighton offers all kinds of entertainment, from concerts and plays in the
Theatre to local attractions like the Aquarium.
The area of old houses known as The Lanes is a very attractive shopping
centre, where visitors can buy souvenirs and antiques. The houses were once
lived in by fishermen but have now been converted into shops. Not far from The
Lanes is a modern shopping centre with licensed restaurants and tables
outdoors where you can enjoy a drink in good weather.
