<b>Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer.</b>

It is often said that books are always good friends and reading is an active mental process. Unlike TV,
books make you use your brain. By reading, you think more and become smarter. Reading improves
concentration and focus. Reading books takes brain power. It requires you to focus on what you are reading
for long periods. Unlike magazines, Internet posts or e-Mails that might contain small pieces of information.
Books tell the whole story. Since you must concentrate in order to read, you will get better at concentration.
Many studies show if you do not use your memory; you lose it. Reading helps you stretch your memory
muscles. Reading requires remembering details, facts and figures and in literature, plot lines, themes and
characters.

Reading is a good way to improve your vocabulary. Do you remember that when you were at
elementary school you learned how to infer the meaning of one word by reading the context of the other
words in the sentence? While reading books, especially challenging ones, you will find yourself exposed
to many new words.

Reading is a fundamental skill builder. Every good course has a matching book to go with it. Why?
Because books help clarify difficult subjects. Books provide information that goes deeper than just
classroom discussions By reading more books you become better informed and more of an expert on the
topics you read about. This expertise translates into higher self-esteem. Since you are so well-read,
people look to you for answers. Your feelings about yourself can only get better.

Books give you knowledge of other cultures and places. The more information you have got, the
richer your knowledge is. Books can expand your horizons by letting you see what other cities and

countries have to offer before you visit them.

<b>Read the following passage and choose the correct answer. </b>

It’s always thought that women are the second class in citizen, and men are the first. There is not a real
equality of opportunity for men and women. Years ago, people were living in a man- dominated society.

Women had to obey their husbands and fathers absolutely. Women’s place was in the kitchen and women’s
work was housework. In many places, women were not even allowed to go to school. Women had no rights,
even the right to choose a husband for themselves. Men usually occupied high positions in society so they
thought they were more intelligent and important than women. Men considered women their property.
Sometimes, women were mistreated by their husbands and suffered this as a fate. Many parents did not even
want to have female children.

Thanks to the women’s liberation movement, women have nowadays proved that they are equal to men on
every aspect. An average woman has weaker muscles than an average man but she may be as intelligent as him.
Women can do everything that men can and women can do one thing that no men can; they produce children.

<b>31.</b> In a man- dominated society, _______.

A. women were the first class. B. women had no rights.

C. women were respected by men. D. women got a good education.

<b>32.</b> Years ago, women’s place was _______.
