Why are there so many grandmothers and so few grandfathers? In other words, why do men die younger than
women? It is because men are afraid of getting old and helpless and so they prefer to die before that happens? Perhaps
they fear to be left alone by their women and so decided to do the leaving first.
Many explanations are given for the fact that men die earlier than women. Men are stronger physically, yet
women can hang on longer to life. Both men and women emotional creatures but women are not afraid or ashamed to
cry while men refuse to do so. They are afraid of being thought “soft”. Some men , when they are upset, play loud
music or dig in the garden to relieve their feelings. Many men like an orderly life so that they bury themselves in their
work or want a wife with some children or long to take part in wars where there is a definite chain of command. There
is a leader to give orders and a known enemy to fight against and defeat. All these make men feel they live in a
rational world.
So the majority of men like a rational world. Rationality is fine but it does not include everything that makes life
joyful and fun or even messy and frustrating. When a man refuses to cry he is refusing to accept that his emotions are
part of him. Of course some men do not fellow this pattern. Bob Hawke is capable of crying in public whereas
Margaret Thatcher is probably of crying at any time.
We need to cry because that shows our ability to suffer. If we do not suffer we are not really alive at all.
Suffering can be creative or destructive. If we can all learn to cry and laugh and shout and dance openly, we are living
creatively and adding something to the human race. We often say men suffer more from stress and therefore they die
early. Are we not saying in another way that they do not know how to suffer in the right way- with tears and laughter
instead of silence- and so they are miserable and just give up? That is just my theory of course. Have you a better one?
36. What does the word “that” in the passage refer to ?
a. The fact that men die younger than women

b. The fact that they fear to be left alone
c. The fact that men get old and helpless
d. The fact that they decide to do the leaving first
37. What is found the same for both men and women?
a. They like to cry
b. they are physically strong
c. They want to play loud music
d. They are emotional creatures
38. Which paragraph explains why men die earlier than women?
a. Paragraph 1
b. Paragraph 2
c. Paragraph 3
d. Paragraph 4
39. What is the writer opinion toward crying?
a. It is good thing for people to cry
b. to be silent is better than to cry
c. it is all right for women to cry but shameful for men d. Tears are not real signs of suffering
40. What’s the main question the article is intended to discuss?
a. Why men like a rational world
b. Why women are more emotional than men
c. Why suffering is different in men and women
d. Why men die earlier than women.

In Britain, the availability of higher education has increased greatly in the second half of the twentieth
century. Nevertheless, finding a place in a university in Britain is not easy. Universities only take the better students.
Because of this, and also because of the relatively high degree of personal supervision of students, nearly all university
students are not supposed to take a job during term time. Unless their parents are rich, students receive a state grant of
money that can cover most of their living expenses.
The Open University in Britain, which was started in 1969, allows people who do not have the opportunity to
go to the university to study for degree. Its courses are taught through television, radio, especially written textbooks.
Students work with their tutors, who discuss their written work, either at meetings or through correspondence. In the
summer, they have to attend short residential courses of about a week.
