Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the comet

answer to each of the questions.
It is difficult to succeed in the music business; nine out of ten bands that release a first record fail
to produce a second. Surviving in the music industry requires luck and patience, but most of all it requires
an intricate knowledge of how a record company functions. The process begins when a representative of
a company’s Artists and Repertoire (A&R) department visits bars and night clubs, scouting for young,
talented bands. After the representative identifies a promising band, he or she will work to negotiate a
contract with that band. The signing of this recording contract is a slow process. A company will send a
long time investigating the band itself as well as current trends in popular music. During this period, it is
important that a band reciprocate with an investigation of its own, learning as much as possible about the
record company and making personal connections within the different departments that will handle its
recordings.
Once a band has signed the contract and has finished recording an album, the Publicity and
Promotions department take over. This department decides whether or not to mass produce and market
the band’s album. Most bands fail to make personal contacts in this second department, thus losing their
voice in the important final process of producing and marketing their album. This loss of voice often
contributes to the band’s failure as a recording group.
Question 43: Which of the following statements best express the main idea of the passage?
A. Nine out of ten bands fail to produce a second album.
B. It is important for a band to have an intricate knowledge of how a recording company works.
C. Making personal connections will help the band in the final decisions about the promotion of
their album.
D. The main factors in a band’s success are luck and patience.
Question 44:

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the comet
answer to each of the questions.
If parents bring up a child with the sole aim of turning the child into a genius, they will cause a disaster.
According to several leading educational psychologists, this is one of the biggest mistakes, which
ambitious parents make. Generally, the child will be only too aware of what his parents expect, and will
fail. Unrealistic parental expectations can cause great damage to children.
However, if parents are not too unrealistic about what they expect their children to do, but are
ambitious in a sensible way, the child may succeed in doing very well – especially if the parents are very
supportive of their child. Michael Collins is very lucky. He is crazy about music, and his parents help him
a lot by taking him to concerts and arranging private piano and violin lessons for him. They even drive
him 50 kilometers twice a week for violin lessons. Michael’s mother knows very little about music, but his
father plays the trumpet in a large orchestra. However, he never makes Michael enter music competitions
if he is unwilling.
Winston Smith, Michael’s friend, however, is not so lucky. Both his parents are successful
musicians, and they set too high a standard for Winston. They want their son to be as successful as they are
and so they enter him for every piano competition held. They are very unhappy when he does not win.

Winston is always afraid that he will disappoint his parents and now he always seems quiet and unhappy.

A. push their child into trying too much

B. help their child to become a genius

C. make their child become a musician

D. neglect their child’s education

Question 54: Parents’ ambition for their children is not wrong if they ……….
A. force their children into achieving success

B. themselves have been very successful

A. Successful musician.

B. Unrealistic parents.

C. Their children.

D. Educational psychologists.

Question 56: Michael Collins is fortunate because ……….
A. his father is a musician

B. his parents are quite rich

C. his mother knows little about music

D. his parents help him in a sensible way

Question 57: The phrase “crazy about” in the passage mostly means ………...

D. confused about

Question 58: Winston’s parents push their son so much and he …………...
