The National Automobile Show in New York has been One of the top auto shows in the
United States since I900. On November 3 of that year, about 8,000 people looked over the
"horseless carriages." It was the opening day and the first opportunity for the automobile
industry to show off its wares to a large crowd; however, the black-tie audience treated the
<b>occasion more as a social affair than as a sales extravaganza. It was also on the first day of </b>
this show that William McKinley became the first U.S. President to ride in a car.


The automobile was not invented in the United States. That distinction belongs to
Germany. Nikolaus Otto built the first practical internal-combustion engine there in I876.
Then, German engineer Karl Benz built what are regarded as the first modern automobiles in
the mid-I880s. But the United States pioneered the merchandising of the automobile. The
auto show proved to be an effective means of getting the public excited about automotive
Products.


<b>By happenstance, the number of people at the first New York show equaled the entire </b>
car population of the United States at that time. In 1900,10 million bicycles and an unknown
number of horse-drawn carriages provided the prime means of personal transportation. Only
about 4,000 cars were assembled in the United States in 1900, and only a quarter of those
<b>were gasoline powered. The rest ran on steam or electricity.</b>


After viewing the cars made by forty car makers, the show's audience favored electric
cars because they were quiet. The risk of a boiler explosion turned people away from


steamers, and the gasoline-powered cars produced smelly fumes. The Duryea Motor Wagon
<b>Company, which launched the American auto industry in 1895, offered a fragrant additive </b>
<b>designed to mask the smells of the naphtha that it burned. Many of the I900 models were </b>
cumbersome—the Gasmobile, the Franklin, and the Orient, for example, steered with a tiller


like a boat instead of with a steering wheel. None of them was equipped with an automatic
starter.

University and later President of the United States, predicted that automobiles would cause
conflict between the wealthy and the poor. However, among the exhibitors at the 1900 show
<b>was a young engineer named Henry Ford. But before the end of the decade, he would </b>


<b>revolutionize the automobile industry with his Model T Ford. The Model T, first produced in </b>
1909, featured a standardized design and a streamlined method of production — the assembly
line. Its lower costs made it available to the mass market.


Cars at the 1900 show ranged in price from $1,000 to $1,500, or roughly $14,000 to $21,000
in today's prices. By 1913, the Model T was selling for less than $300, and soon the price
would drop even further. "I will build cars for the multitudes, "Ford said, and he kept his
promise.

Books which give instructions on how to do things are very popular in the United States
today. Thousands of these How-to books are useful. In fact, there are about four thousand
books with titles that begin with the words "How to". One book may tell you how to earn
more money. Another may tell you how to save or spend it and another may explain how to
give your money away.


Many How-to books give advice on careers. They tell you how to choose a career and
'now to succeed in it. If you fail, however, you can buy the book " How to Turn Failure into
Success". If you would like to become very rich, you can buy the book "How to Make a
Millionaire". If you never make any money at all, you may need a book called "How to Live
on Nothing".


One of the most popular types of books is one that helps you with personal problems. If
you want to have a better love of life, you can read "How to Succeed in Love every Minute of
<b>Your Life". If you are tired of books on happiness, you may prefer books which give </b>
<b>step-by-step instructions on how to redecorate or enlarge a house.</b>

Choosing a suitable job can be one of the most difficult decisions we have to make in our
lives. Personally, I would choose to become an English teacher as my job in the future. There
are several reasons for this. Firstly, although it is thought that teaching children is a


challenging job, I find it interesting to meet them every day. Another reason could be that I am
likely to have more opportunities to practise English with my students, which can help me
improve my English skills. Furthermore, only by sharing thoughts and ideas with them can I
understand them more and become a close friend of theirs. Finally, being a teacher can make
me become a responsible and patient person. In other words, teachers should be always good
examples for children to follow, so I think that they will be more responsible for everything
they do and become more patient with their students. Hopefully, by making every effort every
day, I will make my dream come true.

<b>LEVEL OF VOCABULARY</b>


Most languages have several levels of vocabulary that may be used by the same speakers. In English,
at least three have been identified and described.


Standard usage includes those words and expressions understood, used, and accepted by a majority of
the speakers of a language in any situation regardless of the level of formality. As such, these words and
expression are well defined and listed in standard dictionaries. Colloquialisms, on the other hand, are


familiar words and idioms that are understood by almost all speakers of a language and used in informal
speed or writing, but not considered acceptable for more formal situations. Almost all idiomatic


expressions are colloquial language. Slang, refers to words and expressions understood by a large number
<b>of speakers but not accepted as appropriate formal usage by the majority. </b>


Colloquial expressions and even slang may be found in standard dictionaries but will be so identified.
Both colloquial usage and slang are more common in speech than writing. Colloquial speech often passes
into standard speech. Some slang also passes into standard speech, but other slang expressions enjoy
<b>momentary popularity followed by obscurity. In some cases, the majority never accepts certain slang </b>
<b>phrases but nevertheless retains them in their collective memories. Every generation seems to require its </b>
own set of words to describe familiar objects and events.


It has been pointed out by a number of linguists that three cultural conditions are necessary for the
creation of a large body of slang expressions. First, the introduction and acceptance of new objects and
situations in the society; second, a diverse population with a large number of subgroups; third, association
among the subgroups and the majority population.


Finally, it is worth noting that the terms “standard”, “colloquial”, and “slang” exist only as abstract
labels for scholars who study language. Only a tiny number of the speakers of any language will be aware
that they are using colloquial or slang expressions. Most speakers of English will, during appropriate
situations, select and use three types of expressions.

Choosing a career may be one of the hardest jobs you ever have, and it must be done with care.
View a career as an opportunity to do something you love, not simply as a way to earn a living. Investing
the time and effort to thoroughly explore your options can mean the difference between finding a


</div>
<span class='text_page_counter'>(37)</span><div class='page_container' data-page=37>

one. Work influences virtually every aspect of your life, from your choice of friends to where you live.
Here are just a few of the factors to consider.



Deciding what matters most to you is essential to making the right decision. You may want to
<b>begin by assessing your likes, dislikes, strengths, and weaknesses. Think about the classes, hobbies, and </b>
surroundings that you find most appealing. Ask yourself questions, such as “Would you like to travel? Do
you want to work with children? Are you more suited to solitary or cooperative work?” There are no right
or wrong answers; only you know what is important to you. Determine which job features you require,
<i><b>which ones you would prefer, and which ones you cannot accept. Then rank them in order of importance </b></i>
to you.


The setting of the job is one factor to take into account. You may not want to sit at a desk all day.
If not, there are diversity occupation – building inspector, supervisor, real estate agent – that involve a
great deal of time away from the office. Geographical location may be a concern, and employment in
some fields in concentrated in certain regions. Advertising job can generally be found only in large cities.
On the other hand, many industries such as hospitality, law education, and retail sales are found in all
regions of the country.


If a high salary is important to you, do not judge a career by its starting wages. Many jobs, such as
insurance sales, offers relatively low starting salaries; however, pay substantially increases along with
your experience, additional training, promotions and commission.


<i><b>Don’t rule out any occupation without learning more about it. Some industries evoke positive or </b></i>
<i><b>negative associations. The traveling life of a flight attendant appears glamorous, while that of a plumber </b></i>
does not. Remember that many jobs are not what they appear to be at first, and may have merits or
demerits that are less obvious. Flight attendants must work long, grueling hours without sleeps, whereas
plumbers can be as highly paid as some doctors. Another point to consider is that as you mature, you will
likely develop new interests and skills that may point the way to new opportunities. The choice you make
today need not be your final one.

<i><b>correct answer to each of the question s from 45 to 54. </b></i>


Carnegie Hall, the famous concert hall in New York City, has again undergone a restoration.
While this is not the first, it is certainly the most extensive in the building's history. As a result of this new
<i><b>restoration, Carnegie Hall once again has the quality of sound Line 5 that it had when it was first built.</b></i>


Carnegie Hall owes its existence to Andrew Carnegie, the wealthy owner of a steel company in
the late 1800s. The hall was finished in 1891 and quickly gained a reputation as an excellent performing
<i><b>arts hall Line 10 where accomplished musicians gained fame. Despite its reputation, however, the concert</b></i>
<i><b>hall suffered from several detrimental renovations over the years. During the Great Depression, when </b></i>
fewer people could afford to attend performances, the directors sold part of the building to commercial
<i><b>businesses. As a result, a coffee shop was opened Line 15 in one corner of the building, for which the </b></i>
builders replaced the brick and terra cotta walls with windowpanes. A renovation in 1946 seriously
<i><b>damaged the acoustical quality of the hall when the makers of the film Carnegie Hall cut a gaping hole in</b></i>
<i><b>the dome of the ceiling to allow for lights and air vents. The hole was later Line 20 covered with short </b></i>
curtains and a fake ceiling, but the hall never sounded the same afterwards.


In 1960, the violinist Isaac Stern became involved in restoring the hall after a group of real estate
<i><b>developers unveiled plans to demolish Line 25 Carnegie Hall and build a high-rise office building on the </b></i>
site. This threat spurred Stern to rally public support for Carnegie Hall and encourage the City of New


York to buy the property. The movement was successful, and the concert hall is now owned by the city.
<i><b>In the current restoration, builders tested each new material for it Line 30 sound qualities, and they </b></i>
replaced the hole in the ceiling with a dome. The builders also restored the outer walls to their original
appearance and closed the coffee shop. Carnegie has never sounded better, and its prospects for the future
have never looked more promising. ____________


<i><b>Question 45: This passage is mainly about </b></i>

About 200 million years ago, as the Triassic Period came to a close, many species of animals
<i><b>disappeared from the face of the Earth. Scientists previously believed that the series of extinctions </b></i>
<i><b>happened over a period of 15 to 20 million years. Recent discoveries in Nova Scotia Line 5 suggest, </b></i>
however, that the extinctions may have happened over a much shorter period of time, perhaps less than
850,000 years.

My favourite leisure activity is reading. I like reading because it is a hobby that is useful and
interesting. It is useful because you can find a lot of knowledge of all areas that you need; and it is
interesting because books can give you the joy and help you relax after a day of toil etc... Especially,
when you join the forum, you can meet a lot of people who have interests similar to yours, comment on
the books or novels that interest you. Not only do I love books but I also love reading books. At the age of
<i><b>twelve, I was awarded "How to Win Friends and Influence People" of Dale Breckenridge Carnegie by </b></i>
my grandfather. It is the first book that I have had. Until now I do not really know how many times I have
read it. Up to now, I still love it and occasionally read it again. Consequently, my love for books begins. I
usually spend most of my free time choosing the books I love, participating in discussion on the forum
and reading. Every weekend and all holidays when I have no work to do, I often read books and ruminate
on it. I also help some friends can select the genres of books that they like. I always hope that I will have
my own library in my future. I love books very much and perhaps, I couldn't live without them.

Education is much more open-ended and all-inclusive than schooling. Education knows


<b>no bounds. It can take place anywhere, whether in the shower or on the job, whether in a kitchen or on a </b>
tractor. It includes both the formal learning that takes place in schools and the whole universe of informal
learning. The agents of education can range from a revered grandparent to the people debating politics on
the radio, from a child to a distinguished scientist. Whereas schooling has a certain predictability,


<b>education quite often produces surprises. A chance conversation with a stranger may lead a person to </b>
discover how little is known of other religions. People are engaged in education from infancy on.
Education, then, is a very broad, inclusive term. It is a lifelong process, a process that starts long before
<b>the start of school, and one that should be an integral part of one's entire life.</b>

extinction? When a species is no longer adapted to a change environment, it may perish. The exact causes
of a species’ death vary from situation to situation. Rapid ecological change may render an environment
hostile to a species. For example, temperatures may change and a species may not be adapt. Food
resources may be affected by environmental changes, which will then cause problems for a species
requiring these resources. Other species may become better adapted to an environment, resulting in
<i><b>competition and, ultimately, in the death of a species.</b></i>


The fossil record reveals that extinction has occurred throughout the history of Earth. Recent analyses
have also revealed that on some occasions many species became extinct at the same time - a mass


extinction. One of the best - known examples of mass extinction occurred 65 million years ago with
<i><b>the demise of dinosaurs and many other forms of life. Perhaps the largest mass extinction was the one that</b></i>
occurred 225 million years ago, when approximately 95 percent of all species died. Mass extinctions can
be caused by a relatively rapid change in the environment and can be worsened by the close


interrelationship of many species. If, for example, something were to happen to destroy much of
<i><b>the planktonin the oceans, then the oxygen content of Earth would drop, affection even organisms not </b></i>
living in the oceans. Such a change would probably lead to a mass extinction.


<i><b>One interesting, and controversial, finding is that extinctions during the past 250 million years have </b></i>
tended to be more intense every 26 million years. The periodic extinction might be due to intersection of
the earth’s orbit with a cloud of comets, but this theory is purely speculative. Some researchers have also
speculated that extinction may often be random. That is, certain species may be eliminated and others
may survive for no particular reason. A species’ survival may have nothing to do with its ability or
inability to adapt. If so, some of revolutionary history may reflect a sequence of essentially random
events.
