Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate
the correct answer to each of the questions from 28 to 34.
Garbage is a big problem all over the world. People buy and use a lot of things nowadays.
After a while, they throw them away in the garbage bin. All the garbage is later thrown away or
dumped outside the city. These places are called landfill sites. In many cities, landfill sites are now

full.


We have to manage our waste and garbage better. If we throw away so many things, soon
we will have no place to dump them. The best thing to do is to reduce the amount of garbage. If we
use less, we throw away less. For instance, we can buy food in big boxes and packages. Then we
throw away only one box every month or so. Otherwise, we throw away many small boxes or cans
every day.
Similarly, we can reuse a lot of packaging. For example, we do not have to buy take-out
coffee in Styrofoam cups, which are made of aluminum – a toxic material to the environment. We
can bring our own cup from home and fill it with fresh coffee.
We also do not have to take the plastic bags from the supermarket. We can bring our own
cloth bag from home instead. When we pack lunch, it is better to use a lunch box than a paper bag.
Instead of paper plates, we can use real plates. We can clean up with a dishtowel, not a paper towel.
We can use a compost bin for food scraps. In this way, the food gets back into the earth. It does not
get mixed up with the regular garbage.
Finally, all paper, glass and metal we do use, we can recycle. In many countries, there are
now recycling programs. In Germany, for example, people separate all glass bottles by color. Then
they put the bottles into special bins that are on the street. The city collects the glass, cleans it, and
reuses it. As well, in most countries, people recycle newspapers and cardboard. It is easy and
efficient.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate
the correct answer to each of the questions from 35 to 42.
We find that bright children are rarely held back by mixed-ability teaching. On the contrary,
both their knowledge and experience are enriched. We feel that there are many disadvantages in
streaming pupils. It does not take into account the fact that children develop at different rates. It

can have a bad effect on both the bright and the not-so-bright child. After all, it can be quite
discouraging to be at the bottom of the top grade!


Besides, it is rather unreal to grade people just according to their intellectual ability. This is
only one aspect of their total personality. We are concerned to develop the abilities of all our pupils
to the full, not just their academic ability. We also value personal qualities and social skills, and we
find that mixed-ability teaching contributes to all these aspects of learning.
In our classroom, we work in various ways. The pupils often work in groups; this gives them
the opportunity to learn to co-operate, to share, and to develop leadership skills. They also learn
how to cope with the personal problems as well as learning how to think, to make decisions, to
analyze and evaluate, to communicate effectively. The pupils learn from each other as well as from
the teachers.
Sometimes the pupils work in pairs; sometimes they work on individual tasks and
assignments, they can do this at their own speed. They also have some formal class teaching when
this is appropriate. We encourage our pupils to use the library, and we teach them the skills they
need in order to do this effectively. An advanced pupil can do advanced works; it does not matter
what age the child is. We expect our pupils to do their best, not their least, and we give them every
encouragement to attain this goal.
