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 23 to 27.
My aunt is one of those people who can talk to anyone about anything. If she goes to a party where she doesn't know any of
the people, she just walks up to the first person that she sees and introduces herself. And yet she doesn't seem to talk about
deeply important things like politics or religion. She always starts off on something very obvious like the other person's job.
Very soon she's talking as if she's known the other person for years. I asked her once what her secret was. She said that the
most important thing in a conversation was listening. People love to talk about themselves, so if you allow them to do so, it's
very easy to keep a conversation going.
You have to listen very carefully and ask questions. And you have to look interested, too. So don't keep looking at other
things in the room while you're talking to someone.
Another thing that I've noticed is that she only pays people compliments. She says: "I like your hair. Which hairdresser do
you go to?" or "You look very well. Have you been on holiday?"
Friendly messages like this seem to provide an easy way into a conversation.

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 30 to 39.
It’s often said that we learn things at the wrong time. University students frequently do the minimum of work because
they’re crazy about a good social life instead. Children often scream before their piano practice because it’s so boring. They
have to be given gold stars and medals to be persuaded to swim, or have to be bribed to take exams. But the story is different
when you’re older. Over the years, I’ve done my share of adult learning. At 30, I went to a college and did courses in History
and English. It was an amazing experience. For starters, I was paying, so there was no reason to be late - I was the one
frowning and drumming my fingers if the tutor was late, not the other way round. Indeed, if I could persuade him to linger for
an extra five minutes, it was a bonus, not a nuisance. I wasn’t frightened to ask questions, and homework was a pleasure not a
pain. When I passed an exam, I had passed it for me and me alone, not for my parents or my teachers. The satisfaction I got
was entirely personal. Some people fear going back to school because they worry that their brains have got rusty. But the joy
is that, although some parts have rusted up, your brain has learnt all kinds of other things since you were young. It has learnt
2


to think independently and flexibly and is much better at relating one thing to another. What you lose in the rust department,
you gain in the maturity department. In some ways, age is a positive plus. For instance, when you’re older, you get less
frustrated. Experience has told you that, if you’re calm and simply do something carefully again and again, eventually you’ll
get the hang of it.
The confidence you have in other areas - from being able to drive a car, perhaps - means that if you can’t, say, build a chair
instantly, you don’t, like a child, want to destroy your first pathetic attempts. Maturity tells you that you will, with
application, eventually get there. I hated piano lessons at school, but I was good at music. And coming back to it, with a
teacher who could explain why certain exercises were useful and with musical concepts that, at the age of ten, I could never
grasp, was magical. Initially, I did feel a bit strange, thumping out a piece that I’d played for my school exams, with just as
little comprehension of what the composer intended as I’d had all those years before. But soon, complex emotions that I never

knew poured out from my fingers, and suddenly I could understand why practice makes perfect.

A. teachers should give young learners less homework
B. young learners often lack a good motivation for learning

It’s often said that we learn things at the wrong time. University students frequently do the minimum of work because
they’re crazy about a good social life instead. Children often scream before their piano practice because it’s so boring. They
have to be given gold stars and medals to be persuaded to swim, or have to be bribed to take exams. But the story is different
when you’re older. Over the years, I’ve done my share of adult learning. At 30, I went to a college and did courses in History
and English. It was an amazing experience. For starters, I was paying, so there was no reason to be late - I was the one
frowning and drumming my fingers if the tutor was late, not the other way round. Indeed, if I could persuade him to linger for
an extra five minutes, it was a bonus, not a nuisance. I wasn’t frightened to ask questions, and homework was a pleasure not a
pain. When I passed an exam, I had passed it for me and me alone, not for my parents or my teachers. The satisfaction I got
was entirely personal. Some people fear going back to school because they worry that their brains have got rusty. But the joy

is that, although some parts have rusted up, your brain has learnt all kinds of other things since you were young. It has learnt
to think independently and flexibly and is much better at relating one thing to another. What you lose in the rust department,
you gain in the maturity department. In some ways, age is a positive plus. For instance, when you’re older, you get less
frustrated. Experience has told you that, if you’re calm and simply do something carefully again and again, eventually you’ll
get the hang of it.
The confidence you have in other areas - from being able to drive a car, perhaps - means that if you can’t, say, build a chair
instantly, you don’t, like a child, want to destroy your first pathetic attempts. Maturity tells you that you will, with
application, eventually get there. I hated piano lessons at school, but I was good at music. And coming back to it, with a
teacher who could explain why certain exercises were useful and with musical concepts that, at the age of ten, I could never
grasp, was magical. Initially, I did feel a bit strange, thumping out a piece that I’d played for my school exams, with just as
little comprehension of what the composer intended as I’d had all those years before. But soon, complex emotions that I never
knew poured out from my fingers, and suddenly I could understand why practice makes perfect.

each of the questions from 38 to 42.
My aunt is one of those people who can talk to anyone about anything. If she goes to a party where she doesn't know any of
the people, she just walks up to the first person that she sees and introduces herself. And yet she doesn't seem to talk about
deeply important things like politics or religion. She always starts off on something very obvious like the other person's job.
Very soon she's talking as if she's known the other person for years. I asked her once what her secret was. She said that the
most important thing in a conversation was listening. People love to talk about themselves, so if you allow them to do so, it's
very easy to keep a conversation going.
You have to listen very carefully and ask questions. And you have to look interested, too. So don't keep looking at other
things in the room while you're talking to someone.
Another thing that I've noticed is that she only pays people compliments. She says: "I like your hair. Which hairdresser do
you go to?" or "You look very well. Have you been on holiday?"
Friendly messages like this seem to provide an easy way into a conversation.

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 01 to 10.
It’s often said that we learn things at the wrong time. University students frequently do the minimum of work because
they’re crazy about a good social life instead. Children often scream before their piano practice because it’s so boring. They
have to be given gold stars and medals to be persuaded to swim, or have to be bribed to take exams. But the story is different
when you’re older. Over the years, I’ve done my share of adult learning. At 30, I went to a college and did courses in History
and English. It was an amazing experience. For starters, I was paying, so there was no reason to be late - I was the one
frowning and drumming my fingers if the tutor was late, not the other way round. Indeed, if I could persuade him to linger for
an extra five minutes, it was a bonus, not a nuisance. I wasn’t frightened to ask questions, and homework was a pleasure not a
pain. When I passed an exam, I had passed it for me and me alone, not for my parents or my teachers. The satisfaction I got
was entirely personal. Some people fear going back to school because they worry that their brains have got rusty. But the joy
is that, although some parts have rusted up, your brain has learnt all kinds of other things since you were young. It has learnt
to think independently and flexibly and is much better at relating one thing to another. What you lose in the rust department,
you gain in the maturity department. In some ways, age is a positive plus. For instance, when you’re older, you get less
frustrated. Experience has told you that, if you’re calm and simply do something carefully again and again, eventually you’ll
get the hang of it.
The confidence you have in other areas - from being able to drive a car, perhaps - means that if you can’t, say, build a chair

instantly, you don’t, like a child, want to destroy your first pathetic attempts. Maturity tells you that you will, with
application, eventually get there. I hated piano lessons at school, but I was good at music. And coming back to it, with a
teacher who could explain why certain exercises were useful and with musical concepts that, at the age of ten, I could never
grasp, was magical. Initially, I did feel a bit strange, thumping out a piece that I’d played for my school exams, with just as
little comprehension of what the composer intended as I’d had all those years before. But soon, complex emotions that I never
knew poured out from my fingers, and suddenly I could understand why practice makes perfect.
