II. 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 03 to 10.
A recent survey of crime statistics shows that we are all more likely to be burgled now than 20 years ago and the police
advise everyone to take a few simple precautions to protect their homes.
The first fact is that burglars and other intruders prefer easy opportunities, like a house which is very obviously empty. This
is much less of a challenge than an occupied house, and one which is well-protected. A burglar will wonder if it is worth the
bother.
There are some general tips on how to avoid your home becoming another crime statistic. Avoid leaving signs that your
house is empty. When you have to go out, leave at least one light on as well as a radio or television, and do not leave any

curtains wide open. The sight of your latest music centre or computer is enough to tempt any burglar.
Never leave a spare key in a convenient hiding place. The first place a burglar will look is under the doormat or in a flower
pot and even somewhere more "imaginative" could soon be uncovered by the intruder. It is much safer to leave a key with a
neighbour you can trust. But if your house is in a quiet, desolate area be aware that this will be a burglar's dream, so deter any
potential criminal from approaching your house by fitting security lights to the outside of your house.
But what could happen if, in spite of the aforementioned precautions, a burglar or intruder has decided to target your home.
Windows are usually the first point of entry for many intruders. Downstairs windows provide easy access while upstairs
windows can be reached with a ladder or by climbing up the drainpipe. Before going to bed you should double-check that all
windows and shutters are locked. No matter how small your windows may be, it is surprising what a narrow gap a determined
burglar can manage to get through. For extra security, fit window locks to the inside of the window.
What about entry via doors? Your back door and patio doors, which are easily forced open, should have top quality security
locks fitted. Even though this is expensive it wrill be money well spent. Install a burglar alarm if you can afford it as another
line of defence against intruders.
A sobering fact is that not all intruders have to break and enter into a property. Why go to the trouble of breaking in if you
can just knock and be invited in? Beware of bogus officials or workmen and, particularly if you are elderly, fit a chain and an
eye hole so you can scrutinise callers at your leisure. When you do have callers never let anybody into your home unless you
are absolutely sure they are genuine. Ask to see an identity card, for example.
If you are in the frightening position of waking in the middle of the night and think you can hear an intruder, then on no
account should you approach the intruder. Far better to telephone the police and wait for help.

HEALTHY LIVING FOR TEENAGERS
Food

In a recent government survey on healthy eating teens scored only 5 out of 10 (8 indicated a healthy diet and 6 a "passable"
one). Only 1 in 10 teens eats the recommended amount of fruit and the only vegetable that many teens eat is "chips". Most
teens in the developed world are eating too much but are still not getting the vital nutrients to help them grow and stay
healthy. More information about nutrition and healthy eating is needed to help young people eat properly. Teens who diet
often cut out food they need, such as bread or milk, because they think it is fattening. Others don't know what foods to choose
in the school canteen in order to have a balanced diet. There is a saying "you are what you eat". So if you want to become the
next David Beckham then you'd better start eating properly.
Exercise
Lack of money in schools plus increased pressure to do well in the course exams means that teenagers are doing less sport in
school than ever before. Girls, in particular, are more likely to suffer from lack of exercise and up to 4 in 10 girls stop playing
sports in their early teenage years. Just because you aren't sporty doesn't mean you can't be active. Walk or cycle to school
instead of taking the bus. Help at home with the housework or gardening. Go dancing with your friends. There are lots of
ways you can stop being a couch potato!
Sleep
If "we are what we eat" then sleep is like food for the brain. Teens need at least 9 hours' sleep every night and even mild
sleepiness can affect your performance, humour and health. Lack of sleep can make you tired, angry or depressed. Nearly
40% of secondary school students go to bed after 11 p.m. on school nights and 15% of teens say they have fallen asleep
during class. In the USA some schools are starting classes at 10 a.m. so that teens can get some extra sleep. These schools
have noticed an improvement in their students' work.
Question 21: Most teens in the developed world…..
A. eat too much but are not eating healthy food.
B. eat properly and stay healthy.
C. eat less and grow and stay healthy.
D. eat a lot of vegetables and healthy food.
Question 22: According to the text, many secondary school students on school nights.....


A. feel angry or depressed.
B. go to bed after 11 p.m.
C. sleep at least 9 hours. D. play computer games.

A. chips.
B. meat.

Question 24: Schools put pressure on students to…..

B. improve their physical condition.
C. do well in course exams.
D. take a bus instead of walking or cycling to school.
Question 25: According to the text, some schools in the USA have changed the starting time of lessons because.....
A. parents insisted on changing the time.

X. 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 37 to 44.
A recent survey of crime statistics shows that we are all more likely to be burgled now than 20 years ago and the police
advise everyone to take a few simple precautions to protect their homes.
The first fact is that burglars and other intruders prefer easy opportunities, like a house which is very obviously empty. This
is much less of a challenge than an occupied house, and one which is well-protected. A burglar will wonder if it is worth the
bother.
There are some general tips on how to avoid your home becoming another crime statistic. Avoid leaving signs that your
house is empty. When you have to go out, leave at least one light on as well as a radio or television, and do not leave any

curtains wide open. The sight of your latest music centre or computer is enough to tempt any burglar.
Never leave a spare key in a convenient hiding place. The first place a burglar will look is under the doormat or in a flower
pot and even somewhere more "imaginative" could soon be uncovered by the intruder. It is much safer to leave a key with a
neighbour you can trust. But if your house is in a quiet, desolate area be aware that this will be a burglar's dream, so deter any
potential criminal from approaching your house by fitting security lights to the outside of your house.
But what could happen if, in spite of the aforementioned precautions, a burglar or intruder has decided to target your home.
Windows are usually the first point of entry for many intruders. Downstairs windows provide easy access while upstairs
windows can be reached with a ladder or by climbing up the drainpipe. Before going to bed you should double-check that all
windows and shutters are locked. No matter how small your windows may be, it is surprising what a narrow gap a determined
burglar can manage to get through. For extra security, fit window locks to the inside of the window.


What about entry via doors? Your back door and patio doors, which are easily forced open, should have top quality security
locks fitted. Even though this is expensive it wrill be money well spent. Install a burglar alarm if you can afford it as another
line of defence against intruders.
A sobering fact is that not all intruders have to break and enter into a property. Why go to the trouble of breaking in if you
can just knock and be invited in? Beware of bogus officials or workmen and, particularly if you are elderly, fit a chain and an
eye hole so you can scrutinise callers at your leisure. When you do have callers never let anybody into your home unless you
are absolutely sure they are genuine. Ask to see an identity card, for example.
If you are in the frightening position of waking in the middle of the night and think you can hear an intruder, then on no
account should you approach the intruder. Far better to telephone the police and wait for help.
Question 37: A well-protected house..….
A. is regarded as a challenge by most criminals.
B. is very unlikely to be burgled.
C. is less likely to be burgled.
D. is a lot of bother to maintain.
Question 38: The writer thinks that hiding a key under a doormat or flower pot…..

D. are the most important, precautions to take to make your home safe.
Question 41: The writer argues that fitting a chain and an eye hole….
A. will prevent your home being burgled.

XI. 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 45 to 50.
HEALTHY LIVING FOR TEENAGERS
Food
In a recent government survey on healthy eating teens scored only 5 out of 10 (8 indicated a healthy diet and 6 a "passable"
one). Only 1 in 10 teens eats the recommended amount of fruit and the only vegetable that many teens eat is "chips". Most
teens in the developed world are eating too much but are still not getting the vital nutrients to help them grow and stay
healthy. More information about nutrition and healthy eating is needed to help young people eat properly. Teens who diet
often cut out food they need, such as bread or milk, because they think it is fattening. Others don't know what foods to choose
in the school canteen in order to have a balanced diet. There is a saying "you are what you eat". So if you want to become the
next David Beckham then you'd better start eating properly.
Exercise
Lack of money in schools plus increased pressure to do well in the course exams means that teenagers are doing less sport in
school than ever before. Girls, in particular, are more likely to suffer from lack of exercise and up to 4 in 10 girls stop playing
sports in their early teenage years. Just because you aren't sporty doesn't mean you can't be active. Walk or cycle to school
instead of taking the bus. Help at home with the housework or gardening. Go dancing with your friends. There are lots of
ways you can stop being a couch potato!
Sleep
If "we are what we eat" then sleep is like food for the brain. Teens need at least 9 hours' sleep every night and even mild
sleepiness can affect your performance, humour and health. Lack of sleep can make you tired, angry or depressed. Nearly
40% of secondary school students go to bed after 11 p.m. on school nights and 15% of teens say they have fallen asleep
during class. In the USA some schools are starting classes at 10 a.m. so that teens can get some extra sleep. These schools
have noticed an improvement in their students' work.
Question 45: Schools put pressure on students to…..
A. do well in sports.
B. do well in course exams.
C. take a bus instead of walking or cycling to school.
D. improve their physical condition.

Question 46: According to the text, many secondary school students on school nights.....
A. go to bed after 11 p.m.
B. play computer games.
C. feel angry or depressed.
D. sleep at least 9 hours.
Question 47: The text suggests that teenagers..….
A. don't have enough information about healthy eating and lifestyle.
B. sleep more than is needed.
C. do more sports in schools than before.
D. are healthier than their parents were.
Question 48: According to the text, teens who go on a diet cut down on..….
A. chips.
B. meat.
C. vegetables.
D. bread and milk.
Question 49: Most teens in the developed world…..
A. eat properly and stay healthy.
B. eat a lot of vegetables and healthy food.
C. eat less and grow and stay healthy.
D. eat too much but are not eating healthy food.
Question 50: According to the text, some schools in the USA have changed the starting time of lessons because.....
A. parents insisted on changing the time.
B. they wanted to please their students.
C. they wanted to improve students' performance.
D. teachers complained about how unmotivated the students were.

XI. 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 45 to 50.
HEALTHY LIVING FOR TEENAGERS
Food
In a recent government survey on healthy eating teens scored only 5 out of 10 (8 indicated a healthy diet and 6 a "passable"
one). Only 1 in 10 teens eats the recommended amount of fruit and the only vegetable that many teens eat is "chips". Most
teens in the developed world are eating too much but are still not getting the vital nutrients to help them grow and stay
healthy. More information about nutrition and healthy eating is needed to help young people eat properly. Teens who diet
often cut out food they need, such as bread or milk, because they think it is fattening. Others don't know what foods to choose
in the school canteen in order to have a balanced diet. There is a saying "you are what you eat". So if you want to become the
next David Beckham then you'd better start eating properly.
Exercise
Lack of money in schools plus increased pressure to do well in the course exams means that teenagers are doing less sport in
school than ever before. Girls, in particular, are more likely to suffer from lack of exercise and up to 4 in 10 girls stop playing
sports in their early teenage years. Just because you aren't sporty doesn't mean you can't be active. Walk or cycle to school
instead of taking the bus. Help at home with the housework or gardening. Go dancing with your friends. There are lots of
ways you can stop being a couch potato!
Sleep
If "we are what we eat" then sleep is like food for the brain. Teens need at least 9 hours' sleep every night and even mild
sleepiness can affect your performance, humour and health. Lack of sleep can make you tired, angry or depressed. Nearly
40% of secondary school students go to bed after 11 p.m. on school nights and 15% of teens say they have fallen asleep
during class. In the USA some schools are starting classes at 10 a.m. so that teens can get some extra sleep. These schools
have noticed an improvement in their students' work.

Question 45: Most teens in the developed world…..
A. eat properly and stay healthy.
B. eat a lot of vegetables and healthy food.
C. eat too much but are not eating healthy food.
D. eat less and grow and stay healthy.


Question 46: According to the text, many secondary school students on school nights.....
A. sleep at least 9 hours. B. play computer games.
C. feel angry or depressed.
D. go to bed after 11 p.m.
Question 47: According to the text, some schools in the USA have changed the starting time of lessons because.....
A. they wanted to improve students' performance.
B. they wanted to please their students.
C. teachers complained about how unmotivated the students were.
D. parents insisted on changing the time.
Question 48: Schools put pressure on students to…..
A. improve their physical condition.
B. do well in sports.
C. take a bus instead of walking or cycling to school.
D. do well in course exams.
Question 49: The text suggests that teenagers..….
A. are healthier than their parents were.
B. do more sports in schools than before.
C. don't have enough information about healthy eating and lifestyle.
D. sleep more than is needed.
Question 50: According to the text, teens who go on a diet cut down on..….
A. chips.

each of the questions from 21 to 28.

A recent survey of crime statistics shows that we are all more likely to be burgled now than 20 years ago and the police
advise everyone to take a few simple precautions to protect their homes.
The first fact is that burglars and other intruders prefer easy opportunities, like a house which is very obviously empty. This
is much less of a challenge than an occupied house, and one which is well-protected. A burglar will wonder if it is worth the
bother.
There are some general tips on how to avoid your home becoming another crime statistic. Avoid leaving signs that your
house is empty. When you have to go out, leave at least one light on as well as a radio or television, and do not leave any
curtains wide open. The sight of your latest music centre or computer is enough to tempt any burglar.
Never leave a spare key in a convenient hiding place. The first place a burglar will look is under the doormat or in a flower
pot and even somewhere more "imaginative" could soon be uncovered by the intruder. It is much safer to leave a key with a
neighbour you can trust. But if your house is in a quiet, desolate area be aware that this will be a burglar's dream, so deter any
potential criminal from approaching your house by fitting security lights to the outside of your house.
But what could happen if, in spite of the aforementioned precautions, a burglar or intruder has decided to target your home.
Windows are usually the first point of entry for many intruders. Downstairs windows provide easy access while upstairs
windows can be reached with a ladder or by climbing up the drainpipe. Before going to bed you should double-check that all
windows and shutters are locked. No matter how small your windows may be, it is surprising what a narrow gap a determined
burglar can manage to get through. For extra security, fit window locks to the inside of the window.
What about entry via doors? Your back door and patio doors, which are easily forced open, should have top quality security
locks fitted. Even though this is expensive it wrill be money well spent. Install a burglar alarm if you can afford it as another
line of defence against intruders.
A sobering fact is that not all intruders have to break and enter into a property. Why go to the trouble of breaking in if you
can just knock and be invited in? Beware of bogus officials or workmen and, particularly if you are elderly, fit a chain and an
eye hole so you can scrutinise callers at your leisure. When you do have callers never let anybody into your home unless you
are absolutely sure they are genuine. Ask to see an identity card, for example.
If you are in the frightening position of waking in the middle of the night and think you can hear an intruder, then on no
account should you approach the intruder. Far better to telephone the police and wait for help.
Question 21: The writer argues that fitting a chain and an eye hole….
A. will prevent your home being burgled.
B. gives you time to check if the visitor is genuine.
C. avoids you having to invite people into your home.

D. is only necessary for elderly people.
Question 22: Gaining entry to a house through a small window…..
A. is surprisingly difficult.
B. is less likely to happen than gaining entry through a door.
C. is not as difficult as people think.
D. is tried only by very determined burglars.
Question 23: The writer thinks that hiding a key under a doormat or flower pot…..
A. is where you always find a spare key.
B. is a predictable place to hide it.
C. is imaginative.
D. is a useful place to hide it.
Question 24: The "aforementioned precautions" refer to steps that…..
A. will not stop an intruder if he has decided to try and enter your house.


B. are the most important, precautions to take to make your home safe.
C. will tell a burglar if your house is empty or not.
D. will stop a potential burglar.
Question 25: According to the writer, we should ….
A. avoid leaving our house empty.
B. always keep the curtains closed.
C. give the impression that our house is occupied when we go out.
D. only go out when we have to.
Question 26: According to the writer, window locks, security locks and burglar alarms....
A. are luxury items.
B. are absolutely essential items.
C. are good value for money.
D. cost a lot of money but are worth it.
Question 27: The best title for the text is…..
A. Burglary Statistics.

B. Protecting Your Home from Intruders
C. Increasing Household Crime.
D. What To Do if A Burglar Breaks into Your Home.

locks fitted. Even though this is expensive it wrill be money well spent. Install a burglar alarm if you can afford it as another
line of defence against intruders.
A sobering fact is that not all intruders have to break and enter into a property. Why go to the trouble of breaking in if you
can just knock and be invited in? Beware of bogus officials or workmen and, particularly if you are elderly, fit a chain and an
eye hole so you can scrutinise callers at your leisure. When you do have callers never let anybody into your home unless you
are absolutely sure they are genuine. Ask to see an identity card, for example.
If you are in the frightening position of waking in the middle of the night and think you can hear an intruder, then on no
account should you approach the intruder. Far better to telephone the police and wait for help.

HEALTHY LIVING FOR TEENAGERS
Food
In a recent government survey on healthy eating teens scored only 5 out of 10 (8 indicated a healthy diet and 6 a "passable"

one). Only 1 in 10 teens eats the recommended amount of fruit and the only vegetable that many teens eat is "chips". Most
teens in the developed world are eating too much but are still not getting the vital nutrients to help them grow and stay
healthy. More information about nutrition and healthy eating is needed to help young people eat properly. Teens who diet
often cut out food they need, such as bread or milk, because they think it is fattening. Others don't know what foods to choose
in the school canteen in order to have a balanced diet. There is a saying "you are what you eat". So if you want to become the
next David Beckham then you'd better start eating properly.
Exercise
Lack of money in schools plus increased pressure to do well in the course exams means that teenagers are doing less sport in
school than ever before. Girls, in particular, are more likely to suffer from lack of exercise and up to 4 in 10 girls stop playing
sports in their early teenage years. Just because you aren't sporty doesn't mean you can't be active. Walk or cycle to school
instead of taking the bus. Help at home with the housework or gardening. Go dancing with your friends. There are lots of
ways you can stop being a couch potato!
Sleep
If "we are what we eat" then sleep is like food for the brain. Teens need at least 9 hours' sleep every night and even mild
sleepiness can affect your performance, humour and health. Lack of sleep can make you tired, angry or depressed. Nearly
40% of secondary school students go to bed after 11 p.m. on school nights and 15% of teens say they have fallen asleep
during class. In the USA some schools are starting classes at 10 a.m. so that teens can get some extra sleep. These schools
have noticed an improvement in their students' work.
Question 45: Schools put pressure on students to…..
A. take a bus instead of walking or cycling to school.
B. improve their physical condition.
C. do well in sports.
D. do well in course exams.

A. don't have enough information about healthy eating and lifestyle.

Question 48: Most teens in the developed world…..
A. eat a lot of vegetables and healthy food.
B. eat too much but are not eating healthy food.
C. eat less and grow and stay healthy.
D. eat properly and stay healthy.
Question 49: According to the text, many secondary school students on school nights.....
A. feel angry or depressed.
