As we feel tired at bed-time, it is natural to assume that we sleep because we are tired. The point
seems so obviously that hardly anyone has ever sought to question it. Nevertheless, we must ask “tired
of what?” People certainly feel tired in the end of a hard day’s manual work, but it is also true that
office workers feel equally tired when bed-time come. Even invalids, confined to beds or wheelchairs,
become tired as the evening wears on. Moreover, the manual workers will still feel tired even after an
evening spent relaxing in front of the television or read a book, activities which ought to have a
refreshing effect. There is no proof connection between physical exertion and the need for sleep.
People want to sleep, however little exercises they have had. Nor is the desire for sleep relating to
mental fatigue. In fact, sleep comes more slowly to people who have had an intellectual stimulating
day, just because their minds are still full in thoughts when they retire. Ironically, one way of sending
someone to sleep is to put him or her into boring situation where the intellectual effort is minimal.

<i><b>Part 2: Read the following passage and circle the correct answer (marked A, B, C, or D) to each of</b></i>
<i><b>the questions that follow. (20 pts) </b></i>


My lawyer, Mr. Turner, is the only man I know who has seen a ghost. He is a quiet even-tempered
man whose life is spent in dealing with facts. He is the last person in the world to give way to fantasy.


He has a wife and two children of whom he is proud, takes a modest holiday abroad every year and
spends his Sundays gardening. He is knowledgeable about art and architecture, though he doesn't
pretend to be an expert by any means. It is, therefore, all the more surprising that he should so insistent
about the ghost. It happened, so he says, like this:


He was travelling from London to the North of England by train. It was a misty November evening
and the train was half empty. In fact for the first part of the journey Mr. Turner had the carriage to
himself and sat dozing over a newspaper. However at the first stop a passenger jumped in, slamming
the door behind him. He seemed out of breath as if he had been running. He was a striking looking
young man with dark, bushy hair and bright intelligent eyes. He was dressed rather oddly in a long
waisted coat with silver buttons, tight trousers and an embroidered waistcoat. Mr. Turner did not pay
much attention to this because people wear all sorts of extravagant clothes these days and he had long
grown accustomed to them.


Presently, the two men got into conversation, as people do on long journeys. Mr. Turner was
interested to cover that the young man was very knowledgeable about Art - in particular portraits. His
name, he said, was Joseph Hart, and he was on his way to visit an exhibition. It seemed that he worked
in a famous London Art Gallery - a picture restorer, perhaps, thought Mr. Turner, for he seemed to
know a great deal about varnishes and paints, and even more about the subjects of certain portraits.
When Mr. Turner asked his opinion of the portrait of a famous judge by an artist he admired, his
companion laughed and said, “He’s only a reproduction - a good one I agree but you can't talk to a
reproduction.” He spoke as though the person in the portrait were still living.


After a while the carriage got hot and steamy and Mr. Turner dropped off. He woke up just as the
train was drawing up at a junction with a grinding of brakes. His companion had disappeared.

waistcoat. The eyes smiled at him with a hint of amusement. The name-plate at the foot of the picture
read: <i>Joseph Hart, Gentleman, 1800-1835</i>.

2. Although he was a lawyer, Mr. Turner _______.


A. pretended to know a lot about Art. B. knew something about Art.
C. pretended to take an interest in Art. D. intended to learn more about Art.
3. When the passenger entered Mr. Turner’s compartment _______.


A. he was painting. B. he was running.


C. the train was just leaving. D. the carriage was half-empty.
4. The passenger’s clothes didn’t seem strange to Mr. Turner because _______.


A. he was used to wearing strange clothes. B. he liked people who wore strange clothes.
C. everyone he knew wore strange clothes. D. he had seen a lot of people in strange clothes.
5. Mr. Turner thought the young man might _______.


A. be an Art Dealer. B. be an Art Expert.


C. renew old pictures. D. paint reproductions of old pictures.
6. Why wouldn’t the passenger give an opinion on the portrait of the judge?


A. the judge wasn’t alive. B. the judge was still alive.
C. the picture was a copy. D. he hadn’t seen it.
7. When did Mr. Turner first realize that the passenger had gone?


A. When the train started. B. After the train had stopped.


C. Just before the train stopped. D. When the train was leaving the station.
8. Why did Mr. Turner go into the Art Gallery?



A. He was walking past there. B. He had never been there before.
C. He had planned to do so. D. He suddenly decided to.


9. In the past of the gallery that Mr. Turner was directed to _______.
A. there were a lot of pictures by unknown people.


B. there were a lot of nineteenth century people.
C. no-one else was looking at the pictures.
D. he only saw one portrait.


10. When Mr. Turner looked at the portrait of Joseph Hart _______.


A. he smiled at it. B. he thought it smiled at him.
C. he didn’t recognize it. D. he was amused.


<i><b>Part 3: Fill each numbered blank in the following passage with one most suitable sentence given in </b></i>
<i><b>the list below. (10 pts) </b></i>


Food is one of the things we notice about different cultures. It is also one of the first aspects of a
different culture we feel to adopt. The table manners that accompany the food are not so obvious.
When the behaviors of a culture are visibly in contrast, they are most powerful, even when we are not
aware of them. (1)_______.


In Australia, it is expected that everyone will talk during a meal. The talking passes from one
person to another and is often about an issue that has been in the news, a new movie, or some other
neutral and safe topics. (2)_______. Conversation is held before or after the meal itself.


(3)_______. In Australia, when we have finished eating the main course we put the knife and fork
across the middle of the plate parallel to each other with the handles facing towards us. When we are


resting during the meal, we put the knife and fork across each other on the middle of the plate.
(4)_______. In Indonesia, some students tell me, the fork and the spoon are crossed as in Australian
resting position. But not all Indonesians may do this. Indonesia is itself a very multicultural society, so
there may be a number of customs for this within the country.

D. Then there the complex issue of accepting or declining an offer.


E. We need to remember that table manners change within cultures.
F. A barbecue or a dinner with a few friends will have different rules.


G. In China, the chopsticks go crossways across the top of the plate with the handles facing towards
the right, as that is the hand that holds the chopsticks.

range of cultures are represented!

<i><b>Sample answer.</b></i>


Studying a language in a country where it is widely spoken has many advantages. It is, therefore, a good idea to study
English in a country such as Britain. However, I believe it is not the only way to learn the language.


In the first place, most students in non-English-speaking countries learn English at secondary school, and sometimes at
university nowadays. Although their spoken English is not usually of a very high standard, their knowledge of grammar is
often quite advanced. This is certainly useful when students come to an English-speaking country to perfect the language.


Secondly, studying the basics of English at secondary school is less stressful than learning the language while overseas.
This is because students living at home do not have to worry about problems such as finding accommodation, paying for
their study and living costs, and trying to survive in a foreign country where day to day living causes much stress.


However, there are obvious advantages of learning English in Britain. Every day there are opportunities to practice
listening to and speaking with British people. Also, students can experience the culture firsthand, which is a great help
when trying to understand the language. This is especially true if they choose to live with a British family, as exchange
students for example. Furthermore, if students attend a language school full-time, the teachers will be native speakers. In
this case, not only will students' speaking and listening skills improve, but attention can be given to developing reading and
writing skills as well.


In general, even though it is preferable to study English in an English-speaking country, a reasonable level of English
can be achieved in one's own country, if a student is gifted and dedicated to study.
