VII.

Read the passage and answer the questions that follow.

I first met Mike when I was looking for someone to share the house I was
renting. I put an advertisement in the local student newspaper and he was one of
the people who answered it. When we met, we hit it off straightaway and I told
him he could move in.
Living with Mike was fun. We soon found out that we had a lot in
common and quickly became close friends. We always had really good
discussions about everything that was important to us at th� time: politics, the
environment, literature and other less important things like cooking. We also

liked the same music and that's important when you're sharing a house. We fell
� out a couple of times about the housework. Mike thinks I'm untidy but I think
life's too short to worry about things like that.
When we graduated three yea�s ago, we went out separate ways and since
then our lives have been very different. I went back to my hometown and got a
job as a production assistant for art exhibitions. Mike thinks I'm crazy because
money is very important to him now, but he doesn't have time to spend with his
family and his friends. I don't see.him very often. When he comes down for the
weekend we have a laugh, but our lifestyles are so different that we don't have
very much to talk about.

VIII. Read the passage below and choose one correct answer for each question.
It is thought that the large-scale celebration of birthdays in Europe began
with the cult of Mithras, which originated in Persia but was spread by soldiers
throughout the ·,Roman Empire. Before this, such celebrations were not
·common; and, hence, practices from other contexts such as the Saturnalia were
adapted for birthdays. Because many Roman soldiers took to Mithraism, it had
a wide distribution and influence throughout the empire until it was supplanted
- by Christianity. The Jewish perspective on birthday celebrations is disputed_ by
various rabbis.
Birthday celebrations were rare during the Middle Ages but saw a
resurgence with the advent of the Reformation. During this period, they were
seen as a good· way to transfer customs from the saint's days to other dates not
linked to the newly repudiated veneration of saints.
Even today, the celebration of birthdays is not univer.sal in the West.
Some. adults loathe celebrating it as it reminds them that they are getting
progressively older. And in some activities that are not year-round, birthday
23


acknowledgements may be discouraged because of some birthdays not falling
during the season.
In most English-speaking countries it is traditional' to sing the song Happy
Birthday to You to the honored person celebrating his birthday. The Happy

Birthday Song melody is thought to be the most frequently sung melody in the

butch, "Zurn Geburtstag Viel Gluck" in German, "Cumpleafios feliz" in Spanish�
