READING
Read the passage below and choose the best answer from the four options marked A, B, C or D:
As many as one thousand years ago in the Southwest, the Hopi and Zuni Indians of North America were
building with adobesunbaked brick plastered with mud. Their homes looked remarkably like modern
apartment houses. Some were four stories high and contained quarters for perhaps a thousand people, along with
storerooms for grain and other goods. These buildings were usually put up against cliffs, both to make
construction easier and for defense against enemies. They were really villages in themselves, as later Spanish
explorers must have realized since they called them “pueblos”, which is Spanish for towns. The people of the
pueblos raised what are called “the three sisters” corn, beans, and squash. They made excellent pottery and
wove marvelous baskets, some so fine that they could hold water. The Southwest has always been a dry country,
where water is scarce. The Hopi and Zuni brought water from streams to their fields and gardens through
irrigation ditches. Water was so important that it played a major role in their religion. They developed elaborate
ceremonies and religious rituals to bring rain. The way of life of less – settled groups was simpler and more
strongly influenced by nature. Small tribes such as the Shoshone and Ute wandered the dry and mountainous
lands between the Rocky Mountains and the Pacific Ocean. They gathered seeds and hunted small animals such
as rabbits and snakes. In the Far North the ancestors of today’s Inuit hunted seals, walruses, and the great
whales. They lived right on the frozen seas in shelters called igloos built of blocks of packed snow. When
summer came, they fished for salmon and hunted the lordly caribou. The Cheyenne, Pawnee and Sioux tribes,
known as the Plains Indians, lived on the grasslands between the Rocky Mountains and the Mississippi River.
They hunted bison, commonly called the buffalo. Its meat was the chief food of these tribes, and its hide was
used to make their clothing and the covering of their tents and tips.

When I was younger, I hated being the oldest child and the only girl in my family. But now I am older, I
realize that being 'Big Sister' actually has its advantages. First of all, I get special treatment from my parents and
brothers. I get my on room, and brothers have to do all the heavy work around the house. Another benefit is that,

brothers in my care when they go out. I also try my best in whatever I do in order to be a good example for my
brothers. The experience I've had in taking care of my brothers has prepared me for my own family in the
future. So, even though I didn't choose to be the oldest child and the only girl in my family, I have succeeded in
making this situation work to my best advantage.

time to know which ingredients on the packaging labels of processed food are helpful or harmful.
The additives that we eat are not all so direct. Farmers often give penicillin to cattle and poultry, and
because of this , penicillin has been found in the milk of treated cows.
Sometimes similar drugs are administered to animals not for medicinal purposes, but for financial reasons.
The farmers are simply trying to fatten the animals in order to obtain a higher price on the market. Although the
Food and Drug Administration(FDA) has tried repeatedly to control these procedures, the practices continue.
A healthy diet is directly related to good health. Often we are unaware of detrimental substances we
ingest. Sometimes wellmeaning farmers or others who do not realize the consequences add these substances to
food without our knowledge

answer to each of the questions
THE BEATLES
In the 1960s, The Beatles were probably the most famous pop group in the whole world. Since then,
there have been a great many groups that have achieved enormous fame, so it is perhaps difficult now to
imagine how sensational The Beatles were at that time. They were four boys from the north of England and
none of them had any training in music. They started by performing and recording songs by black Americans
and they had some success with these songs. Then they started writing their own songs and that was when they
became really popular. The Beatles changed pop music. They were the first pop group to achieve great success
from songs they had written themselves. After that it became common for groups and singers to write their own
songs. The Beatles did not have a long career. Their first hit record was in 1963 and they split up in 1970. They
stopped doing live performances in 1966 because it had become too dangerous for them – their fans were so
excited that they surrounded them and tried to take their clothes as souvenirs! However, today some of their
songs remain as famous as they were when they first came out. Throughout the world many people can sing part
of a Beatles song if you ask them.

answer to each of the questions from 31 to 35.
‘The best age to start learning the violin is between three and six,' says Margaret Porter, a violinist and
music teacher. 'It's the time when you are learning about the world.' Margaret, who lives in London, prefers to
take pupils at three and four, although she has made lots of exceptions for keen fiveyear olds. When she started
teaching the violin in 1972, her first class consisted of her children's fiveyearold school friends.
Magaret's pupils have group lessons. Each group has about a dozen pupils and each lesson lasts an hour,
once a fornight. In addition, each pupil has one individual lesson a week with her. Parents also have to attend
the classes. It is important that the parents take an active interest in the lessons.
From the earliest lessons pupils learn to play by ear. They do not even try to read music until they have
been playing for several years, and for a long time there is a big difference between their playing and reading of
music. Margaret says that her method is not supposed to produce great violinists, and always suggests that
pupils who perform particularly well should leave and study the violin using more traditional methods.
