When we are young, there is a beautiful new world waiting for us to explore. Before we begin, however,

Lots of people around the world now have their own Internet sites. Some use them as online diaries.

one of the most popular types.
Baby blogging began as a way to let faraway family members know about a new baby. It does not just
mean putting pictures of a child on a website. Parents write about the events in a baby's life, such as when he
got his first tooth or she said her first words. Some parents report almost everything the child does every day.
It is not just family members who visit these sites. Complete strangers become big fans of some baby
blogs. And there is already a network of links between baby blogs in different parts of the world. Parents who
are stuck in the house with the baby all the time have created an online community.
Why do people go to a website to read about a stranger's baby getting its diaper changed? For some, it is
nice to know that other parents are having the same experiences as themselves. And for parents, writing such
details can help them relax at the end of a hard day spent taking care of a baby.

Back in the 19th century two brothers had an idea. This idea turned into a dream that eventually took over
their lives. Their determination to realize this dream also changed the world.
The dream was planted in the two boys' minds by their father. In the autumn of 1878, he gave them a toy.
He came home one evening and threw something into the air in front of them. Instead of falling to the floor, it
flew across the room till it hit the wall. This simple toy made of wood and rubber bands fascinated the brothers.
Their lifelong interest in human flight began.
The brothers, Wilbur and Orville Wright, enjoyed learning new things. When they grew up, they spent
many hours building and testing machines. Their goal was to build one that could carry humans through the air.
On Friday December 17, 1903 at 10:35 a.m., the Wright brothers achieved their dream. This amazing
achievement took place at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina on a cold windy morning.
The next time you travel in a plane, remember where it began. It was a simple idea in the minds of two
young men who never finished high school. They succeeded because they never gave up. We should all try to
do the same.

The ancient Olympic Games lasted for about 1000 years. They first took place in Greece in 776 BC. The
Games were held in a place called Olympia. It was a village located in a valley 500km from Mount Olympus,
where the gods were supposed to live. Olympia was a very important place to the ancient Greeks.
Zeus was the father of the gods that the ancient Greeks believed in. The Olympics probably began as a
special event to honor him. The Greeks thought that both the body and the mind needed to be strong, and they
could honor Zeus by showing their strength in the Olympic Games. These were held every four years, and only
Greeks could compete.
Ancient Greece was divided into independent states. These states often had wars with each other. During
the Olympics the wars were stopped, and athletes could travel safely to and from the Games. Anyone who broke
this agreement was punished by death.
One of the most famous athletes at the ancient Olympics was called Milo. He came from a part of Italy
that was under the control of Greece then. He first won a boys' wrestling event in 540 BC. Eight years later, he
returned to fight in the Games again, and won in the next five Olympics.

A few years ago I decided to attend a class reunion at my primary school. Although it was nearly 25 years
since I had seen many of my classmates, I could still remember many names. However, the faces that
belonged to those names were no longer so clear in my mind. The teachers, on the other hand, were different; I
could remember their faces but not their names. I wondered if any of them would still be teaching at the same
school twenty-five years later.
I arrived at the school in a taxi. My car was a ten-year-old Toyota and, to be honest, I felt a little ashamed
of it. Outside the school was a line of expensive, new-looking cars. I was glad I’d arrived by taxi. An old
woman stood outside the school. She looked familiar. I gave her my invitation, which had my name on it.
“Welcome Frank,” she said. “I used to be Miss Robinson. Do you remember me?” I did remember her. She
used to have long golden hair and we all thought she was the most beautiful woman in the world. Now she
looked old and tired. “I’m the head here now,” she said.
Seeing how much she had changed made me want to go home. I remembered how she used to run so
quickly in the teachers’ race on Sports Day. After that, everything was a blur. I met many old classmates and I
didn’t recognize any of them. David, the “fat kid,” looked like a millionaire in an expensive suit. Alison, who
was the prettiest girl in school, now looked older than my mother. Gary, who was really stupid at school, was
now a successful doctor. And, the worse thing was, they all recognized me immediately! “Frank,” they said.
“We knew it was you. You haven’t changed a bit.”
________ 1. The best title for this passage is ________?
(A) What a life!
(B) A Class Reunion
(C) How Time Flies! (D) Primary School Days
________ 2. Which is NOT true about Miss Robinson?
(A) She used to be a beauty with blond hair.
(B) She could run very fast.
(C) She had been retired for years.
(D) She had been admired by her students.
________ 3. Why didn’t Frank drive his car but took a taxi instead?
(A) His car was out of order.
(B) It was more convenient to go by taxi.
(C) His car was too old to drive.
(D) His car was an inexpensive one.
________ 4. What does the phrase felt ashamed mean?
(A) felt embarrassed
(B) felt surprised
(C) felt satisfied
(D) felt interested
________ 5. How did Frank feel when he was quickly recognized?
(A) Proud. (B) Excited. (C) Uncomfortable. (D) Confused.

Most countries put traffic signs or road signs next to roads to give information to road users. Language
differences can lead to problems in understanding. Therefore, international signs using symbols instead of
words have been developed and are now used in most areas of the world.
Long ago, early road signs gave directions. The ancient Romans, for example, put up tall stones all over
their empire. These stones showed the distance and way to Rome. Road signs became more important with the
development of cars. Now there are many different types of road signs. Some warn of danger, while others tell
you what you must and cannot do, or tell you the location of something. Different colors are used according to
the type of sign.
In North America, signs use colors in various ways. For instance, green signs with white letters on them
give information such as directions, distances, and places. Parks, forests, and historic sites are brown with white.
Signs showing regulations, such as for parking or speed limits, are usually white with red or black letters. And
warning signs for things such as dangerous curves in the road are yellow with black letters and symbols.

We depend upon chemistry to live. Chemical reactions are all around us. In nature there are millions and
millions of chemical reactions happening all the time. Humans use chemical reactions to make lots of different
substances used in foods, medicines, and materials.
Examples of natural chemical reactions are when an apple starts to turn brown after being bitten, and when
green plants use sunlight to make food. Chemical reactions also take place when we make plastics from oil, or
when gas burns inside a car to make the engine run.
In a reaction, you start with things called reactants. The new things formed in the reaction are called
products. The atoms in the reactants all end up in the products, so nothing is lost or gained. So why do we get
something new? It is because the atoms have arranged themselves into new compounds. Another thing reactions
produce is energy, often in the form of heat. They may need some energy to be put in so that they can take place.
So, in a chemical reaction, there is a movement of energy.
( ) 1. The passage says that chemical reactions _______.
(A) are usually difficult to see
(B) are only found in nature
(C) do not take place very often
(D) are very important to us
(
(
(

) 2. Which two types of chemical reaction are described in the passage?
(A) Electrical and physical.
(B) Natural and man-made.
(C) Large and small.
(D) Common and rare.

(A) because they have started to turn brown
(B) because their atoms have been destroyed
(C) an example of a natural chemical reaction
(D) very like the way a car engine burns oil
) 4. After a chemical reaction takes place, the end result is always a _______.
(A) reactant
(B) plastic
(C) product
(D) medicine
) 5. What does the passage tell us about heat?
(A) It is sometimes needed for a chemical reaction.
(B) It is always the product of a chemical reaction.
(C) It is needed to change the atoms in a material.
(D) It does not affect chemical reactions in any way.

A Child's Garden of Verses is a popular book by Robert Louis Stevenson. This writer first became
famous when he wrote a story called Treasure Island. It appeared in separate parts in a children's magazine in

In Treasure Island, the hero is a boy called Jim Hawkins. He lives near the sea in England. Jim meets an

away. After Bones dies, Jim finds the map. He takes a ship to the island with Squire Trelawney, Dr. Livesey,
and Captain Smollett. Jim discovers that there are pirates among the crew of the ship. They are led by a
one-legged man named Long John Silver, who is the ship's cook. The pirates try to take the ship from Jim and
his friends. After many adventures the pirates are defeated, and the treasure is found. Jim and his friends sail
back to England as rich men. But Long John Silver escapes with some of the gold.

Different kinds of birds build different kinds of nests. Birds build in all sorts of places, from
on the ground to high up in trees and on the sides of mountains. Some birds make nests that float on water in
wet areas. The material birds use to build nests depends on the surrounding area.
The reason birds make nests is to have a protected place to lay their eggs in and take care of young birds
after they hatch. When building a nest, birds try not to be seen. They do not want dangerous animals to see
where their eggs are. However, if you watch closely, you may be able to see birds carrying twigs and other
things to build their nests with.
Most birds nest during the spring and early summer of each year. They raise their babies in quite a short
time. They lay the eggs, then keep them warm for 3-4 weeks. After they hatch, many young birds learn to fly in
as little as 10 days. Some birds return to the same nest year after year if they have successfully raised young in
it. Often, there are old and new nests in the same tree. This confuses animals looking for baby birds to eat.
( ) 1. The passage does NOT say that birds make nests _______.
(A) on the sides of mountains (B) that can float on water

(C) near the tops of trees

(C) Dangerously.
(D) Strangely.

Greenwich Village, which is also called the West Village and sometimes just the Village, is a great place
to get lost on a sunny afternoon. The streets wind around each other, and wandering around Greenwich Village
makes you feel as if you've escaped from New York. It's kind of like being in a small European city.
When you've had enough of tall buildings and crowds of people, Greenwich Village offers a nice change
from normal city life. The lower buildings allow more sunshine to reach the streets as well. Many of the streets
are lined with shops. And there are plenty of interesting cafes and restaurants to discover, as well as small
gardens and art galleries. Outdoor art shows are often held in the area.
Greenwich Village is known for being home to many artists, writers and musicians. In fact, the area has
attracted writers and artists since the early 20th century. Some interesting old buildings from the early and
mid-1800s are still there, although there is an increasing number of modern apartment buildings. Washington
Square Park is a popular meeting place in the village. It is surrounded by the campus of New York University.

England is a country of many strange and unusual festivals. However, some of the strangest festivals are the
various “cheese races” that take place around the country, usually in May.
At a place called Cooper’s Hill, crowds gather to watch men and women wildly chase a huge round cheese
down a very steep hill. The first one down the hill wins the cheese. Every year people are hurt but the race has
been held annually for the past two hundred years and there are no signs of it stopping soon. A similar, but
slightly more peaceful event takes place in a town called Stilton. Here, teams of people, often dressed in
unusual clothing, race to push a giant round cheese through the streets. And there’s more cheese chasing in a
small village called Ide Hill, where women only are allowed to chase a cheese that is launched down the hill in
the middle of the village.
Nobody really knows why this kind of festivals originally started. Some people think it was a kind of
fertility festival—a festival to encourage crops to grow better. Others say that it was just to protect the rights of
ordinary people to use these areas of land. Anyway, whatever the original reason was, nowadays it is just an
excuse to have some fun in the sun.

(A) in spring (B) in winter (C) in fall (D) all year round
______2. Which of the following statements about the Cheese Festival in Cooper’s Hill is true?

______3. What was the original purpose for holding Cheese Festivals?

Did you know there are more kinds of insects on earth than any other creature? About 90% of all animals
are insects, and there are probably more than 10 million different kinds. Some kinds of insects have lived on our
planet for 350 million years. Insects are amazing and special creatures.
One of the things that make insects special is called metamorphosis. Metamorphosis means "change" ,
and it refers to the way that insects develop, grow, and change their form. Unlike other animals, most adult
insects look very different from their babies. This is because around 88% of insects go through complete
metamorphosis.
Complete metamorphosis has four stages. The first is the egg laid by the adult female. When an insect
hatches from an egg, it usually has a worm─like shape, and is called a larva. The best known type of larva is
probably a baby butterfly, or caterpillar. A larva eats a lot until it is fully─grown. Then it forms a cocoon.
Inside the cocoon, its body develops into an adult shape with wings and legs. This change can take from four
days to many months, according to the kind of insect it is. When it is ready, the adult insect breaks out of the
cocoon and begins the last stage of its life.

Three wedding traditions in Western Europe involve cakes, honeymoons, and confetti. Wedding cakes
have been around since Roman times, when people shared one during the ceremony. Later, in England, it
became a custom to break small round cakes into little pieces over the bride's head. This was believed to
increase her chances of giving birth. These days, a wedding cake is much larger. It usually has three parts, one
on top of another. The bride and groom cut it together, and may save the top section for when they have their
first child.
The word "honeymoon" is thought to date back to the Middle Ages. If the parents of a young woman did
not agree to her choice of husband, the couple would run away and hide together. They got married in secret
and remained in hiding for a full cycle of the moon. During this time, they drank wine with honey. Now, of
course, a honeymoon is a trip that newlyweds take together.
Confetti is an Italian word meaning candy. In Italy, candies are thrown over the couple when they come
out of church. In other countries, flowers were thrown in the past, but little pieces of colored paper, which are
called confetti in English, are used nowadays. They are supposed to bring happiness and wealth to the
newlyweds.
( ) 1. According to the passage, the three wedding traditions described _______.
(A) all started in England
(
(B) all date back to Roman times
(C) all involve food or drink
(D) are all connected to children
) 2. Why did a bride have cakes broken over her head?
(A) So that she would be more likely to have children.
(B) So that she could share them with other people.
(C) Because it was thought unlucky to eat the cakes.
(D) Because wedding cakes used to be too large to eat.
( ) 3. What do people do with the top part of a wedding cake nowadays?
(A) Give it to poor children.
(B) Save it for a later time.
(C) Break it into small pieces. (D) Cut it into three parts.
( ) 4. How long did the first "honeymoons" usually last?
(A) One full day.
(B) About a week.
(C) About a month.
(D) A whole year.
( ) 5. Which of these has NOT traditionally been thrown over a newlywed couple, according to the passage?
(A) Paper.
(B) Flowers.

The history of Asian players in American Major League Baseball goes back to 1964, when Masamori
Murakama came from Japan and pitched for the San Francisco Giants for two seasons. After Murakama, it was
another thirty years before another Asian played in the Majors. In the last ten years, however, more than forty
others, from Japan, Korea, Taiwan and elsewhere, have made it to the big show.
Probably the best known Asian players in recent years have been Hideo Nomo and Ichiro Suzuki, both
Japanese. Nomo has been a successful pitcher with the Los Angeles Dodgers since 1995. Suzuki joined the
Seattle Mariners in 2001 and became the American League batting champion. He was also voted Most Valuable
Player in the league that season. He has done much to increase awareness of Asian baseball talent by American
teams.
Among the latest targets for US Major League teams are players from Taiwan. Although Taiwan has
done well in the Little League World Series over the years, its professional baseball league is still very weak.
Many of the best players go to Japan, and now the US as well. For example, in 2005 twenty-five-year-old
pitcher Chien-ming Wang made an excellent start to his new career with the New York Yankees.
(
) 1. When was the first time an Asian played in American Major League baseball?
(A) In 2001.
(B) In 1995.
(C) About 10 years ago.
(D) Over 40 years ago.

(D) He was the first Japanese to pitch in America.

Having cultural rules of polite behavior allows people to get along with each other. But rules of politeness
vary from place to place. Some cultures put more emphasis on being formal and using the right words than
others do. Visitors to a country who do not follow local rules of polite behavior may seem rude, even if they do
not want to be.
In England, for example, using the words "please" and "thank you" is very important. In some other
cultures, please and thank you are not used when speaking to people who are doing their job. Leaving them out
is not considered impolite. A person from such a culture might seem rude when buying something from a store
in England.
In Switzerland, many people greet each other and shake hands when they meet and when they part,
especially the first time each day. Colleagues shake hands when they arrive and when they leave work. In
English culture such greetings are less common, especially at work. This would probably seem impolite to the
Swiss.
Where we have different languages and cultures, it is easy to misunderstand other people's personalities
or attitudes. We often cannot help reacting to the way people speak and behave, and our reactions are decided
by our own culture.

In some parts of the world, farmers are producing more GM foods than ever. In fact, the area of land used
to grow GM crops is thirty times as much as it was six years ago. The United States grows the most. The rest is
mainly shared by Canada, China, and Argentina.
In Africa, many scientists see GM food as the answer to the problem of feeding the millions of hungry
people there. For example, in East Africa there is a GM sweet potato whose seeds could increase the crop by up
to eighty percent. But large-scale development of this and other GM crops faces difficult obstacles.
Traditional farmers keep some seeds from a crop to plant again the next year. However, companies that
produce GM seeds make farmers buy new ones every year. It costs the companies millions of dollars to research
and develop a GM plant, so they focus on areas where they can get this money back. Poor farmers in Africa and
other developing areas are not a good market for them.
Developing countries are making their own GM crops, like the sweet potato mentioned above. But they
still cannot afford to produce enough for everyone. GM foods offer hope to the world's poor, then, but there is
still a lot of work to do.
( ) 1. The passage is mainly concerned with the _______.

Feelings and thoughts can have a powerful effect on the human body. When you are afraid, for example,
your heart beats very fast, and you sweat a lot. On the other hand, pleasant feelings can help you relax and make
you feel healthier. This means there is probably a connection between the chemicals in our brains and our
feelings.
Many doctors believe that positive feelings are important for good health, and that it is also important to
express our feelings in the right way. Research has shown that people who keep bad feelings such as anger
inside are more likely to get diseases like colds, flu, and heart problems. However, it is possible to manage
anger and other negative feelings and to keep yourself calm.
When you feel tension or anger building in your body, you can make an effort to relax your muscles,
especially those in your hands, shoulders, and face. Take several deep breaths, and count slowly count to ten. If
your anger is related to tiredness, take a break. Above all, try to be patient with others and forgive them if they
do something wrong. Knowing how to keep anger out of your mind and body is one way of becoming a
healthier and happier person.

Dear Gloria:
I love my children, but being a parent can be so hard! I sometimes get angry with my kids, and often feel
very frustrated. I wonder if this is normal. Also, is it OK to hit my children when they do something wrong? I'd
really like to be a good parent, but I don't know how.
Worried in Washington
Dear Worried:
Being a parent can be a great joy, but it's also a tough job. Children take a lot of time and energy. No
parent is perfect. We all make mistakes. Even loving parents sometimes do things they don't mean to, like hit a
child. Being a parent is even harder if you have other problems in your life, such as worries about your job or
money. To be a good parent, you have to take care of yourself.
Everyone needs a break from being a parent once in a while. If you have a husband or wife, take turns
getting away from the house. For example, your partner can stay with the children while you visit friends. If you
are a single parent, ask friends or relatives to watch your child while you go out. As for hitting children, that is
not the best way of teaching them right from wrong. It is much better to try to make children understand why
they are wrong and take responsibility for their actions.

Atlantis is the name of a mysterious island that, according to old stories, was the location of a lost city.
There is no proof that the island ever existed, but it was supposed to have been somewhere in the Atlantic
Ocean. The stories say that Atlantis was destroyed by an earthquake, or possibly a huge ocean wave.
The first person to write about Atlantis was the ancient Greek philosopher Plato, who died in 348 BC. He
described the city as being almost a perfect society. Although Plato wrote only a few hundred words about
Atlantis, he provided details about its physical appearance and its political system. He also described the
destruction of Atlantis as if it were a fact of history. He said the event took place about 9,000 years before his
own time.
Since then, many stories have been told about Atlantis. All kinds of theories have been put forward,
including one that the city's population were originally aliens from space. Some experts believe there never was
such a place as Atlantis, however, and that Plato invented it. He was interested in politics, they say, and used the
story to show what might happen to such a society. This view has not stopped many believers in Atlantis from
using their imaginations just as well as Plato did.

Ludwig van Beethoven is one of the most famous names in the history of music. He was born in 1770 in
Bonn, Germany. As a boy, Ludwig was forced to practice the piano by his father, who dreamed of his son
becoming the next Mozart, but punished him badly when he made mistakes. By the time he was twelve, Ludwig
was supporting his family by playing and composing music.
At the age of twenty-two, Beethoven went to live in Vienna, where he studied under another of classical
music's great composers, Haydn. He quickly became successful as a pianist, and his performances brought him
financial support from some of Vienna's rulers. Despite becoming famous, however, Beethoven was never a
wealthy man, and struggled with money problems all his life.
Beethoven never married. He proposed to many women, who refused him because he wasn't good
looking and had a bad temper. His angry personality was partly a result of his loss of hearing, which began
around 1802. Despite being completely deaf by the age of 50, Beethoven continued to write music until his
death. That came on March 26, 1827, and his funeral was seen by 10,000 people. They were looking beyond the
unpleasant man at the genius who gave so much to music.

Lenny's opened just over a month ago on Harrison Avenue, and it is already famous for its good food and
relaxed atmosphere. In fact, such is the popularity of the place that the owners are already talking about building
an extension at the back with room for a further ten tables. For the time being, however, it is recommended you
book a table in advance, especially on weekends.
At present, Lenny's is simply decorated but comfortable. It is a bright, cheerful place with tables of
various sizes to serve both big groups and people dining in pairs or alone. The many plants and flowers around
the room give it a fresh, natural air, almost as if you are in an indoor garden.
What really makes Lenny's worth a visit, however, is the food. There is a large and varied menu, ranging
from simple salads and pasta dishes to elaborate fish and steak dinners cooked in some amazing sauces. There
are even some vegetarian choices. All the meats and vegetables are exceedingly fresh and full of flavor, and
many dishes are served with fresh bread baked in the kitchen. Follow up your meal with one of the delicious,
reasonably priced desserts chosen from the display case. All in all, a visit to Lenny's should be on everyone's list

(3) Helen Thayer was born in New Zealand. She has been an adventurer all her life, having climbed her first
mountain when she was nine years old. When Helen was a child, her primary school was visited by Edmund
Hillary, one of the first two men to climb the world's highest mountain, Mt Everest. Impressed by the famous
explorer, Helen set high goals for herself. She too wanted to reach the top of the world.
Helen achieved a major goal in her life in 1988. At the age of fifty, she walked alone to the North Pole.
There were no airplanes, dog teams, or snow vehicles to help her. She walked and traveled on skis, pulling her
supplies behind her. Helen's only companion was a black dog called Charlie, whose job was to walk at Helen's
side and protect her from polar bears. Charlie did his job well, saving her life at least once during the
month-long journey of 586 km.
Later, Helen wrote a book about her journey, called Polar Dream. The introduction was by Edmund
Hillary. Helen is also a photographer, and the book tells the story of her adventures in words and pictures. It
became a best-seller, but her adventures did not end there. She has walked across hot deserts, high mountains,
and frozen wastes in the far corners of the earth. These days, this brave woman gives lectures about her travels.
Her lectures teach people that human beings can face any difficulties and not be defeated by them, as long as
they believe in themselves.

(3) Vienna is a city full of history, culture, art, and music. It has a great many historical treasures and musical
traditions. Not surprisingly, it is a major European tourist destination. Vienna is also a very beautiful city, with
magnificent buildings that date back centuries, and more parks than any other European capital.
As a city of music, Vienna is famous all over the world. No other city has been home to so many well
known composers. Some, such as Schubert and Strauss, were born there, while others, including Mozart, Haydn,
and Beethoven, chose to live there. Nowadays, Beethoven is the composer who is represented most in Vienna.
There are several museums about him, and many other sites in and around the city are associated with him.
Although he was born in Bonn, Germany, Beethoven spent most of his adult life in the Austrian capital.
He rarely stayed in the same house for long. In fact, there is evidence that Beethoven lived in more than 65
different places during his 35 years in Vienna. He was not really comfortable with his fame as a great musician.
He hated being stared at and especially did not like people listening to him play music.
Despite all the moving around and his physical problems, Beethoven produced amazing sonatas,
symphonies and concertos during his time in Vienna. That is why the city is so proud of him. If you walk
around Vienna, you may often see buildings that have small signs saying the great composer once lived there.

(3) Halloween is a well known festival that takes place near the end of autumn in Britain, the US, and some
other countries. It is mainly celebrated by children, who dress up in scary costumes and walk around saying
"trick or treat". In a village in south-west England, there is a similar festival that occurs around the same time as
Halloween, but which has different origins. It is called "Punkie Night".
Punkie Night takes place on the last Thursday in October in the village of Hinton St. George. On the night,
children carry lanterns made from hollowed-out pumpkins or turnips. The lanterns have faces carved into them,
and the children carry them around the village, collecting money and singing a song called the Punkie Song.
The custom originated long ago. In a nearby town, there was an annual fair. One year, the men of Hinton
St. George went together to the fair. Unfortunately, they drank too much and stayed there very late. Their angry
wives dug up turnips, made lanterns, and came looking for their husbands in the dark. The drunken men saw the
strange lights coming towards them. Thinking they were the spirits of dead children, the men ran away in
fear.
Nowadays, it is children who carry the lanterns, or "punkies", which have candles inside them. Everyone
gets together in the Village Hall, where there is a contest to choose the best lanterns. Prizes are given, then the
children walk around the village in a parade. In the past few decades, the tradition has also spread to other
villages in the area.

(3) People all over the world know at least some of the fables of Aesop. Through his stories, Aesop shows the
wise and foolish behavior of human beings. He used his stories to teach people morals. Aesop is best known as
a teller of animal stories. But for such a famous person, it is surprising that so little is known about him.
Aesop might have lived in Greece in the 6th century BC. One legend says that he was a slave, someone
who belonged to a master on the island of Samos. His master was so pleased with Aesop's wisdom that he gave
him his freedom. Afterwards, Aesop traveled widely, telling his fables to the people he met. It is thought that he
was murdered during his travels, in a place called Delphi.
There are no records showing that Aesop ever wrote down his fables. He told them as moral lessons for
adults, and they were passed on by word of mouth. The first collection of his stories only appeared in a book
200 years after he died. They became famous around the world after a French writer copied them in the 17th
century. Since then, Aesop's Fables have been translated into almost every language in the world.
It is possible that no such person as Aesop ever existed. If he did, he probably didn't create all the fables
that come under his name. That is to say, he became so famous that many other stories were believed to be by
him. However, the truth will probably never be known.

The lotus is one of the world's most useful plants. It is a water plant that grows from the mud of
shallow ponds and other wet environments, and is native to parts of the Middle East, Asia, and Australia.
Depending on how deep the water is, it can grow up to six meters high. Its leaves, which resemble discs, can be
90 cm across. They float on the surface of the water.
Most parts of the lotus can be eaten. It is grown as a food plant in China, Japan, Hawaii, India and Korea. The
parts most often used in food are the crispy seeds and thick stalks, though the flowers and leaves are also eaten
in some areas. In India, the stalks are put in curry and soup, and the leaves are eaten as vegetables. The Chinese
make lotus seeds into a paste and put it in desserts such as moon cakes.
The lotus has other uses besides food. Several parts of the plant are used in traditional Chinese and Indian
medicine. Lotus flowers are also the source of a valuable perfume called 'lotus perfume', which used to be found
in South Asia. Lotus perfume is still made today, but it no longer contains lotus.
One of the most important roles of the lotus plant is as a religious symbol. The flowers have been sacred
in Asia and the Middle East for over 5000 years. They are often seen in Hindu and Buddhist art, and represent
long life and good fortune. In India, the lotus is also a symbol of heavenly beauty.

(3) Richard Cory
E. A. Robinson (1869-1935)
Whenever Richard Cory went down town,
We people on the pavement looked at him;
He was a gentleman from sole to crown,
Clean favored, and imperially slim.
And he was always quietly arrayed,
And he was always human when he talked;
But still, he fluttered pulses when he said,
“Good morning,” and he glittered when he walked.
And he was rich—yes, richer than a king—
And admirably schooled in every grace:
In fine, we thought that he was everything
To make us wish that we were in his place.
So on we worked, and waited for the light,
And went without the meat, and cursed the bread;
And Richard Cory, one calm summer night,
Went home and put a bullet through his head.

(3) For many people, the company most closely associated with globalization is the Starbucks coffee chain. Its
rapid worldwide growth─its first shop outside the U.S. was only opened in 1996─has roughly paralleled the
global growth of the Internet. And, for many, Starbucks represents the "dark side" of globalization, with its
stores putting local coffee shops out of business and replacing local "culture" with a Western one. For others,
Starbucks is a prime example of the new "politically-correct" companies, which stress that business is about
more than just making profits. The company promotes itself as "being a third place that is neither home, nor
office, but which offers some elements of both."
The first Starbucks was opened in San Francisco in 1971 by three friends who loved fine coffees and
teas. The company spread locally over the next ten years and, in 1982, the three original owners were joined by
Howard Schultz, an entrepreneur. He eventually bought out the others in 1986 and by 1987 Starbucks as we
know it was born. Currently, there are more than 8,500 Starbucks outlets around the world and the company has
an annual turnover of well over US$5 billion.
It is perhaps its amazingly successful expansion plans that have made Starbucks (along with McDonald's)
the Western company to hate among anti-globalization supporters. It has been accused of treating their coffee
growers poorly and also of having unfair labor practices. In fact, Starbucks pays its coffee growers higher rates
than other companies and offers even part-time employees health benefits and stock options.
For its customers, Starbucks has always tried to position itself as more than just a place to get a cup of
coffee. With their comfortable chairs and sofas Starbucks outlets have become "cool" places for young
professionals to hang out and socialize. The company has also been at the forefront of trends like
wireless-Internet access to make it easier for customers to work and play while they drink. Very recently the
company has used its power as a meeting place to sell CDs. In some U.S. stores, customers can now select
songs online and then burn the songs to CD while they drink their coffee. With imaginative thinking like this it
seems certain that Starbucks will continue to flourish.

(3) "I'm really still in prison and my love, she holds the key. A simple yellow ribbon's what I need to set me
free." These are lines from a famous song called Tie a Yellow Ribbon 'Round the Old Oak Tree. The song is
based on a story called Going Home about a man returning home from jail. Although the song was written in
1972, it remains popular to this day. It has inspired many people over the years. It was the inspiration, for
instance, for a project in Singapore which helps prisoners return to a normal life. The Yellow Ribbon Project is
a songwriting contest which gives prisoners the chance to write about their desire to start a new and better life
when they leave jail. Three hundred jail birds took part in the contest in 2005 and the results were surprisingly
good. One prisoner was considered so talented that a record company agreed to make a CD of his songs. Every
year many of the 11,000 prisoners who leave jail end up back in the can because they can not handle life in
society. Prisoners usually find that returning to society is like going to a second jail because it is so difficult to
fit in. Friends and family often do not want to take them back, and finding a job is a big challenge. Society
holds the 'key' that will let the prisoner out of this second jail. That key is not a yellow ribbon, but a second
chance.

(3) Everybody who reads newspapers and watches television is aware of the problem of deforestation. We all
know that the world's trees, especially those in tropical rainforests, are being cut down at a very high rate. Not
everyone agrees about the causes of the situation, however, and that means there are no common measures to
solve the problem.
Many governments believe that the biggest threat to forests is the increase in human population. It is true
that population growth is a serious problem, but some people think governments are using it as an excuse to
take no action. Governments imply there is nothing they can do to slow down deforestation because too many
people are searching for places to live and food to eat.
Those who oppose this view say that deforestation is mainly due to unfair international trade and
globalization. They believe the demand for more and more wood means that large companies move into the
rainforests to cut down the trees. People looking for new homes inevitably follow them and settle on the land.
They are not the reason it was cleared in the first place.
The countries with the most rainforests also have serious economic problems. They owe a lot of money to
international banks. So, their governments are under pressure to cut down forests and sell the wood to repay the
money. In addition, forests are cleared to make way for agricultural development and industrial projects such as
mines and dams. According to critics of deforestation, these projects mainly benefit people who live far away
from the forests.

(A) The rate of deforestation is slowing down.

) 3. Governments seem to believe that _______.
(A) nobody must be allowed to cut down trees
(B) they cannot prevent trees being cut down
(C) cutting down trees slows population growth
(D) there is no reason to stop cutting down trees
) 4. Who is to blame for deforestation, according to critics of the governments?
(A) Governments.
(B) Companies.
(C) Banks.
(D) Populations.
) 5. Governments allow deforestation to take place because _______.

(3) When you see friends, it is natural to greet them with a smile and a wave. Your face and body work
together to show your friend that you are pleased to see her. In other words, you communicate to her through
your body language. But what if your face and body send different visible messages to someone. Which one
would they be more likely to believe?
When comparing emotions shown by facial expressions and body language, most scientists believed that
the face was more important. To test this theory, researchers in America and Holland showed people of pictures
of faces, and other pictures of bodies with the faces missing. The expressions and body language showed anger
or fear. The researchers also showed pictures in which angry or scared faces were together with angry or scared
bodies.
Using the pictures, the researchers asked people to quickly press a button to choose the correct emotion:
anger or fear. When looking only at faces, they chose the right emotion eighty percent of the time. But when
they looked at a "mixed" picture, for example a scared face with an angry body, they found it much harder to
guess the emotion on the face.
These results show that people can be confused by mixed messages. Even when someone is paying
attention to your face, your body language can still affect their impression of you. It is important for telling
people how you really feel. If you want to be understood, it is best to avoid sending mixed messages.
( ) 1. What is the author of the passage trying to show us?
(
(
(
(
(A) That body language is very important. (B) That people don't notice body language.
(C) That facial expressions often trick us. (D) That smiling is a good way to make friends.
) 2. When we are greeting someone we like, we do not usually _______.
(A) send them visible messages
(B) try to show we are pleased
(C) smile and wave to them
(D) give them mixed messages
) 3. What was the aim of the researchers in America and Holland?
(A) To teach people how to understand facial expressions and body language.
(B) To better understand how some people are able to control their emotions.
(C) To show there is no connection between facial expressions and language.
(D) To find out if facial expressions are more important than body language.
) 4. How often did people guess the right emotion from pictures only showing faces?
(A) One out of ten times.
(B) Four out of five times.
(C) Almost never.
(D) Every time.
) 5. The passage advises us to _______.
(A) avoid showing that we are angry

(3) Matt, an 18-year-old student, was driving his car. He saw a buddy's car in front, and decided to surprise him.
Matt drove past his friend's car at high speed, but lost control of his own. The result was a terrible accident that
killed Matt's 16-year-old girlfriend. Now, he must live with the pain and sorrow caused by his crazy game.
Matt's girlfriend joined the growing number of young people who are listed as traffic fatalities. Motor
vehicle accidents are the most common cause of death for 15- to 18-year-olds. Many of these accidents could
have been avoided if the victims had been more aware of the risks. And it is not just teenage drivers that are
affected.
In one survey, 62 percent of teenagers admitted they had been distracted while crossing the road. They
were talking to friends, chatting on a cell phone, listening to music, or just thinking about something else. The
same teens reported that they had either been in an accident or near miss, or they knew someone who had. A
quarter of all accidents involving teenage pedestrians occur on their way to or from school.
A recent advertising campaign in England aimed to make teenagers more aware of road safety. In a series
of films, young people were shown on their way to success and fame. But their lives were cut short in tragic
accidents. Teenagers everywhere should follow the advice in the films: "Don't die before you've lived."
( ) 1. Which is the main idea of this passage?
(A) People shouldn't listen to music when crossing the road.
(B) Films have been made to teach teenagers traffic rules.
(C) Matt has to live with agony all his life.
(D) Teenagers should be more aware of road safety.
( ) 2. Matt had a car accident because _______.
(
(
(
(A) he drank too much alcohol

) 3. What happened in Matt's car accident?
(A) His buddy was killed.
(B) He got a ticket.
(C) He lost his girlfriend.
(D) He smashed his friend's car.
) 4. The survey mentioned in the passage shows that _______.

(3) In Europe recently, a major art prize was awarded for a very unusual work. The artist had created an empty
room in which the lights went on and off. Giving him the prize caused a lot of argument. Many people asked
whether it could really be thought of as art. Others responded with an old question: What exactly is art?
It is very difficult to define art. One dictionary says it is the use of skill and imagination in creating
objects and experiences that can be shared with other people. But this only describes the way that art is
made, not what it is. According to the director of the Museum of Modern Art in New York, “there is no
single definition of art.”
Long ago, a person who made a picture or decorated a vase was just a skilled worker. During the time of
Leonardo da Vinci, attitudes to art changed in Europe. Landscape and portrait painters received more respect,
and the genius of the best artists was recognized. In the early twentieth century, an artist called Marcel
Duchamp challenged the traditional view. He said that art was anything that an artist produces.
Our view of art has changed over time. One philosopher believes that “you can’t say something’s art
or not art anymore. You might not have the same insight as others.” Most people, though, feel that good art
is definitely something that has beauty. And it is up to each individual to decide what he or she finds
beautiful.
1. Why did people argue about the work of art described in the first paragraph?
(A) The artist did not receive a prize for it.
(B) The artist copied it from someone else.
(C) Some people didn’t think it was real art.
(D) Some people felt it was too expensive.
2. We can infer from the second paragraph that _____.
(A) people don’t agree about the definition of art
(B) skill is not necessary to produce good art
(C) art is only real if it is shared with other people
(D) most modern art is created in New York
3. Marcel Duchamp would be most likely to say, “_____”
(A) Artists do not deserve to be respected.
(B) Leonardo da Vinci was not a real artist.
(C) Only a great painter can be an artist.
(D) This is a work of art because I say it is.
4. What is the opinion of the philosopher mentioned in the last paragraph?
(A) Most people understand art very well.
(B) It is good that art changes over time.
(C) Something has to be beautiful to be art.
(D) It is no longer possible to define art.

(3) Every year natural disasters, such as earthquakes and typhoons, kill thousands of people around the world.
For the survivors, there is an urgent need for food, medicine and water. If their homes have been destroyed they
also need somewhere to live. In December 2004, the Indian Ocean earthquake caused a deadly tsunami which
left thousands without a home. Many of the worst hit areas were small islands. In 2005 a disaster relief team
working in the Little Andaman Islands felt they needed to do more than just provide food and medicine. They
contacted Earthship Biotecture, an American company that builds environmentally-friendly houses called
earthships, and asked for help. Earthships are made out of natural materials. They make all their own power
from sun and wind, and are designed to catch and recycle their own water. In May 2005, Michael Reynolds
brought an earthship project team to the Little Andaman Islands to teach people there how to build earthships
from local materials. The eight-person team spent 14 days teaching local people how to make an earthship.
Many of the 350,000 people who live in the Andaman Islands faced disease and poverty even before the
tsunami struck. The earthship homes have not only given practical help to many of the islands' families, but they
have also given people hope for a better future.

How well do you sleep at night? If you are not getting a good night's sleep it may be because your bed is not
right for you. Waterbeds offer a good solution to this problem because they are very comfortable to sleep on.
Back in the 1970s waterbeds were very popular, because they were seen as a fun alternative to conventional
beds. But these days people mostly buy waterbeds for practical reasons. Waterbeds are particularly good for
people who have back problems because they allow your muscles to relax completely. There are other
advantages as well. Traditional mattresses need to be changed every three or four years because dust gets inside
and sometimes the springs break. Waterbed mattresses, on the other hand, are very easy to keep clean, and of
course, they do not rely on metal springs to make them feel soft. An average waterbed can be used for up to
twelve years. Another great thing about waterbeds is that you can heat the water inside to keep you warm in
winter. But waterbeds do have some disadvantages. Heating a waterbed is quite expensive. In cold countries an
average waterbed uses about the same power as a refrigerator. And being much heavier than regular beds,
waterbeds are difficult to move. So what's the biggest disadvantage of having a waterbed? Leaks, perhaps? No,
they are rare. The worst thing is probably getting up in the morning. Waterbeds are just too comfortable.
( ) 1. The passage suggests that
(A) an uncomfortable bed is the cause of its user's back problem.

On the Mississippi River, the steamboat was king for more than a century. As many as 10,000 steamboats
sailed along America's rivers in the 1800s, many of them on the mighty Mississippi. Once America's main
"highway", the great river flows 2,350 miles from Lake Itasca in Minnesota to the Gulf of Mexico. Along the
way, it passes through important cities such as St. Louis, Memphis, and New Orleans.
In the days of Mark Twain, the Mississippi was full of traffic. When it appeared in the second decade of
the 19th century, the steamboat solved the biggest problem of river transportation─that of traveling upstream.
Steamboats were more than just carriers of goods and passengers, however. They became a symbol of a
romantic era in American history.
Mark Twain wrote a book called Life on the Mississippi. The first part of it is about his time as a young
steamboat pilot before the American Civil War. He describes the challenges of sailing on the river. In the
second half, Twain returns years later to travel on a steamboat from St. Louis to New Orleans. He discusses the
new competition from railroads, and the new cities of the South and Midwest.
Today it’s still possible to take a steamboat trip on the Mississippi. A few companies operate boats
carrying tourists who want to experience the Mississippi life of old while traveling at eight miles an hour. It is
even possible to dress in 19th-century clothes on some trips. And you can pay anything from US$500 for three
nights in basic class to $10,000 for a two-week luxury voyage.

(A) Less than 1800 miles. (B) More than 2,000 miles.

( ) 2. The word "traffic" in the second paragraph refers to _______.
(
(
(
(A) trains crossing America (B) cars on American highways
(C) various methods of transportation
(D) boats on the Mississippi
) 3. Why were steamboats so important in early 19th century America?
(A) They carried people instead of goods. (B) They made life seem more romantic.
(C) They were a lot cheaper than trains.
(D) They made river travel much easier.

(A) after the American Civil War
(B) when Mark Twain was a boy
(C) before steamboats appeared
(D) in the early 19th century
) 5. What does the passage say about Mississippi steamboats nowadays?
(A) There are about 10,000 of them.
(B) They were built in the 19th century.
(C) They move at eight miles an hour.

(3) Thomas Edison invented a movie camera. It was large and heavy, and difficult to carry. A Frenchman called
Louis Lumiere developed another film camera in 1895. It was the size of a large case, and served as a camera,
film processing unit, and projector all in one. Due to its convenience, it was soon being used all over the world.
The movie industry was born.
About twenty years before Lumiere built his camera, a small agricultural town was flourishing among the
Santa Monica Mountains in Southern California. Bananas and pineapples were grown there. A man called
Wilcox bought some land in the area, which his wife decided to call "Hollywood", though it is not clear why.
Wilcox built homes for wealthy Americans who wanted to retire in sunny California.
In 1911, a company called Nestor opened the first film studio in Hollywood. Film-makers flooded to the
town, drawn by its warm weather and wide open spaces. Movie-making needed many workers, and Hollywood
rapidly grew. Soon, tall commercial buildings replaced the original houses. The wealthy people moved their
homes to a different area called Beverley Hills. The movie stars followed them.
In the 1960s, music studios and offices began moving to Hollywood. Nightclubs and other businesses
sprang up. Hollywood today is a diverse and lively community of mainly modern high-rise blocks. A few
treasured buildings from its past have been preserved, however. And much of the movie industry remains in the
area, whose appearance has changed so much in a hundred years.

(A) Money supplied by the government. (B) A multi-function film camera.

(3) The period of a child's life when he or she becomes an adult ─the teen years─ is a difficult time for
many parents. As children get older it is natural for them to begin thinking about having a girlfriend or
boyfriend. Whether parents like it or not, most teenagers will want to start dating sooner or later. In some
cultures, dating in the teen years is a taboo. And in some cases their first ever 'date' is when they get married to
someone that their parents have chosen. In the U.S. dating is generally considered to be an important part of
growing up. Going on dates helps teens learn about friendship and love, as well as how to communicate with
others and make decisions by themselves. Parents often worry about all the terrible things that might happen on
a date. However, studies have shown that dating actually helps teens become mature adults. Of course, parents
need to make clear rules. The following is a typical list of basic dating rules: 1.No dating on a school night. 2.
Be home before ten. 3. No alcohol or drugs. Some parents are much stricter than others. A father, for example,
may not even allow his daughter to start dating until she goes to senior high school. How much freedom parents
give their teenaged children to make their own decisions about dating often depends on the teens' age and
maturity.

(3) In 1812, the French emperor Napoleon assembled the largest army Europe had ever seen—more than
600,000 men. His plan was to invade Russia. At first, he succeeded, and his soldiers captured Moscow. As soon
as they marched away, however, the Russian winter arrived, and temperatures fell to -40 degrees Celsius. Only
150,000 men returned to France. The rest froze and starved to death. This tragedy essentially marked the
beginning of the end for Napoleon’s empire.
The disaster of 1812 is just one case in which weather has directly affected the course of history. It has
happened over and over. In 1588, for instance, the Spanish king sent many ships to invade England. Violent
storms in the North Sea and Atlantic Ocean blew most of the ships to their destruction. If the weather had been
better, Spain might have succeeded. If it had, perhaps Spanish would be today’s “international language.”
Japan is another country that was unexpectedly saved from attack by the weather. In the thirteenth century,
the Mongol Empire wanted to invade Japan. What stopped it was not one, but two typhoons. In 1945, however,
at the end of World War Two, the Japanese city of Hiroshima was destroyed by a nuclear bomb, and the weather
was partly responsible for its fate. The original target of the American bomber was another city, Kokura. But the
skies over Kokura were too cloudy, so Hiroshima was chosen instead. It was yet another victim of events in
which climate and weather played a key role.

(3) We all know that modern societies are producing too much garbage and that getting rid of it is a problem. In
fact, it is a problem that extends beyond our planet. There is plenty of trash in space as well, in the part of it that
is closest to Earth.
"Space junk", as it is called, is artificial material orbiting the Earth. It could be anything from pieces of
rockets or satellites to tiny chips of paint that have come loose from spaceships. There could be over a million
pieces of space junk currently floating above the Earth. But only about 9,000 of them are bigger than a tennis
ball.
The first satellite, Sputnik 1, was launched in 1957. Since then, thousands of spacecraft, satellites and
telescopes have been sent into space. Just as we have created mountains of garbage on Earth, we have also
formed a layer of junk around it. This garbage flies around at speeds of up to 35,000 kilometers an hour. NASA
frequently replaces windows on the space shuttle that are damaged by small objects.
Although most of the garbage in space is small, it is traveling extremely fast. A piece of metal the size of
a tennis ball that is moving very fast could cause serious damage to a spacecraft. In the past, NASA has changed
the flight path of space shuttles at least eight times to avoid space junk. Fortunately, there are junk-free zones in
space, and these are used to figure out the movement of spacecraft.

(3) The quiet tourist town of Chiufen in Taiwan has attracted the attention of a number of movie directors
over the years. A City of Sadness (1989), for instance, was filmed there. The movie, directed by Hou
Hsiao-hsien, won first prize at the Vienna Film Festival and achieved considerable commercial success as well.
A City of Sadness tells the story of a family that is torn apart by political troubles. After World War II many
Taiwanese who were considered to be against the government were sent to jail or killed. This was the first time
a director in Taiwan had ever made a movie about difficult topics like the 228 Incident. The film tells a moving
tale. The eldest brother gets killed by a mafia boss, while a younger brother is arrested and goes crazy in jail.
The youngest brother is a photographer who wants to run away to the mountains to join a group that plans to
fight back against the government. At the end of the movie he is the only person in the family who is still alive.
Because he has survived, he is able to tell the story of how his family was destroyed. Hou Hsiao-hsien's movie
is special in many ways. He encouraged the actors and actresses to make up some of their lines as they were
acting and to act in a very natural style in order to make their characters seem more real. The results are truly
impressive. And perhaps best of all, A City of Sadness brought the lovely town of Chiufen back to life.

(3) Public speaking is the art of speaking to a group of people in an organized way. Its purpose may be to
provide the listeners with information, persuade them to do or believe something, or to entertain them. Humans
have been making speeches almost as long as they have been able to talk. The first book about public speaking
was written more than 2400 years ago in ancient Greece.
Any effective leader is almost certainly a skillful public speaker. It can even make up for a lack of skills
in other things. Good public speakers can persuade people to do all kinds of things, both bad and good. Adolf
Hitler, the leader of Germany in World War Two, was a talented speaker who led his country down a
destructive path. Martin Luther King, another brilliant speaker, inspired millions with his famous "I Have a
Dream" speech.
Many people try to improve their public speaking skills by joining a club. Some organizations provide
training and opportunities to practice public speaking. Members also learn by observing others speak. They are
taught techniques such as control of the voice, choosing vocabulary, using gestures, and developing a
relationship with the audience. All kinds of people join these clubs.
One aim of the clubs is to help people overcome their fear of speaking to an audience. This fear is a type
of "stage fright," a fear that affects some actors. It is believed to be the most common human fear, and affects
up to 75% of people.

(3) Malaria is a serious disease. It is caused by a bug that is carried around by mosquitoes. It is not spread from
one person to another like a cold. You catch it by being bitten by a female mosquito carrying the malaria bug.
People with malaria feel very ill. They get a high fever, and other symptoms similar to the flu.
In the past, malaria was a major killer in Europe. It played a big role in the downfall of the Roman
Empire. And there were serious outbreaks of the disease in Italy as recently as the 1950s. Today it is mainly
found in Africa. According to the World Health Organization, 300-500 million people there get malaria each
year. Over a million of them die.
For over a hundred years, science has been fighting this killer disease. And science has still not won.
Every time scientists thought they were winning, the disease came back stronger and more dangerous. Most of
those who die are children. Their immune systems have not fully developed, so it is harder for them to survive a
malaria attack.
Scientists are still trying to find a cure for malaria. Testing of a promising new drug has begun, but a lack
of funds prevents the drug's widespread use. Researchers are also working on a vaccine that will prevent people
from catching malaria. Unfortunately, the malaria bug is very complex, so an effective vaccine is still far away.
( ) 1. How do people catch malaria?
(A) Bitten by any kind of mosquito.

(3) Your self-esteem means the way you see yourself. If you have high self-esteem, you appreciate yourself
and your personal worth. It means that you constantly have a positive attitude and believe in your own abilities.
You see yourself as capable, in control of your life, and able to live life to the fullest. In short, you are a
confident and happy person.
Low self-esteem can cause people to feel discouraged and depressed. Life is not always fair. Even our
best efforts are not enough to make us successful sometimes. But having high self-esteem can help us get
through difficult times. It acts like a cushion for times when we suffer rejection, disappointment, and failure.
The family is a powerful force in the development of self-esteem. The early years are particularly
important. And the more self-esteem parents have, the more likely they are to see it in their children. School is
another place where self-esteem is an important concept. In general, however, high self-esteem is not given to a
person by another person or society. It is "earned" by the individual himself or herself.
People who hold themselves in high esteem are less likely to engage in destructive behavior such as
violence, crime or drug abuse. They are better at problem-solving, as well as communicating their thoughts and
wishes to others. Having high self-esteem isn't just good for you. It's good for those around you as well.
( ) 1. Which word is not associated with high self-esteem?
(A) Independent. (B) Depressed. (C) Positive. (D) Communicative.
( ) 2. Which is less likely to happen to a high self-esteem person?

N'kisi ("en-KEE-see") is the name of a remarkable pet parrot that lives with his owner, Aimee Morgana, in
New York. Some parrots are __1__ of speaking a few words, but N'kisi has a vocabulary of over 950 words.
__2__ hours of daily practice with his owner and trainer, N'kisi has become one of the best animal talkers in the

(3) Scientists have known for many years that dolphins are highly intelligent creatures. However, they are still
unsure exactly how smart they are. Recent research at the Institute for Marine Mammal Studies in the U.S. has
shown that dolphins may be a lot smarter than we imagined. Dolphins at the IMMS are trained to pick up any
trash that falls into the pool. They receive a fish as a reward for each piece of trash they give to a trainer. One
clever dolphin, named Kelly, figured out that she would get the same reward regardless of the size of the piece
of trash. Therefore, whenever she found some trash she would hide it at the bottom of the pool under a rock.
The next time the trainer came to the pool she would tear off a piece of the trash and give it to the trainer. After
getting her reward she would then quickly swim back down to get another piece of the trash she had hidden, and
so on. Kelly had essentially trained her trainers. On another occasion, Kelly dolphin caught a seagull that had
flown into the pool. It was a large seagull so she was rewarded with many fish. Amazingly, she kept one of the
fish and used it later on to attract another seagull which she caught. She had learned how to "fish" for seagulls
in order to be rewarded with more fish. Kelly's impressive intelligence has shown that we are only just
beginning to understand what dolphins are really capable of.

(3) Alvin Ailey Jr. was one of the pioneers of modern dance in North America. He founded a dance company
that won international fame, and he has been praised for bringing recognition to many African-American and
Asian dancers. His company, the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, has helped popularize modern dance
throughout the world with its international tours.
Born in 1931, Ailey developed an early interest in dance. In 1943 he and his mother moved to Los
Angeles, where he studied with the choreographer Lester Horton. Horton's dramatic style and opinions strongly
influenced Ailey's choreography and artistic direction. Alvin later moved to New York and studied dance under
Martha Graham.
He formed the American Dance Theater in 1958, at first with only African-American dancers. Five years
later, the company became multiracial. By this time, Ailey had already become famous for choreographing a
piece called Revelations, and the company had toured East Asia and Australia as part of a cultural program
sponsored by the US government.
Alvin Ailey created about 80 dances before his death in 1989, and Revelations is still considered his
masterpiece. The Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater has maintained his legacy. It has performed for an
estimated 21 million people in 48 American states and 71 other countries. Though its founder is gone, the
company, its dancers, and its artistic staff remain highly influential in the world of modern dance.

Robert, 41: I am enthusiastic about the marvelous new opportunities I have been given in my life. I have

successful.
Martha, 68: I used to be quiet and timid, but now I'm old, I don't care what others think of me. I have

(3) Astronomy is one of the oldest sciences. Ever since people began farming, they have taken an interest in the
night sky. The seasons were very important to farmers. Different patterns among the stars appear at different
times of a year. So, changes in the positions of stars told farmers when to plant their crops and when to prepare
for winter.
To ancient humans, an eclipse must have been frightening. After they learned to predict the seasons,
eclipse prediction possibly became the next astronomical activity of our ancestors. A twentieth-century
astronomer called Fred Hoyle suggested that the ancient site of Stonehenge in England was used to predict
eclipses, but this is not known for sure.
The ancient Chinese also observed events in the skies, particularly the appearance of moving objects.
Chinese records of the "guest star" that we now call Comet Halley can be traced back to 240 BC. Another guest
star that was bright enough to be seen during the daytime for nearly a month was observed by the Chinese in the
year 1054.
In the Western world, the ancient Greeks were the first to seriously study the heavens. And major
advances in astronomy were made between the 15th and 18th centuries. Galileo and Newton, for example,
understood that mathematics was the true language of science. At different times and in different ways, they
used math to lay the foundations of modern astronomy.
( ) 1. In what way are star patterns associated with farming?
(A) They tell farmers if a typhoon is coming.
(B) They signal the time for sowing.

(
(B) In 1054, a guest star was bright enough to be seen during the daytime.
(C) The Chinese have discovered many comets.
(D) The earliest Chinese record of Comet Halley appeared in 240 BC.
) 3. What did Fed Hoyle suggest?
(A) Stonehenge was used to predict when the moon is between the sun and the earth.
(B) That Stonehenge was used to predict eclipses has not been confirmed.
(C) Eclipse prediction was a common astronomical activity in ancient England.
(
(
(D) The ancient English were afraid of eclipses.
) 4. What is Galileo's contribution to astronomy?

Well known international companies receive hundreds of calls every day about their products and
services. Their customer service operators have a tough job. They have to talk on the phone all day long, and
they frequently have to deal with difficult callers. Perhaps the hardest part of the job is staying calm and patient
when callers get mad. This is especially difficult at the end of a long, tiring day. As with any customer service
job, it is important to sound cheerful and friendly even if you are feeling the exact opposite. For this reason
customer service telephone operators at large companies receive training so that they will be prepared for the
challenges they will face. Part of the training involves listening to recordings of angry or confused callers and
learning how best to deal with them. Although people sometimes call in with funny questions, customer service
operators are trained to be professional and not laugh. This can be quite a challenge as in the following
example:
Caller: I've been ringing 0700 2300 for three days and can't get any help.
Operator: That's not our help number. Where did you get that number from, sir?
Caller: It was on the door of your store.
Operator: Those are our opening hours, sir.
Another customer called wanting her money back because the "cup holder" on her computer broke when she put
her coffee cup in it. After asking several question the customer service operator figured out that she was actually
talking about her computer's DVD player.

(3) Laughter is the best medicine, as the proverb goes. Studies have shown that patients who laugh every day
recover quicker. Laughing every day also helps to reduce stress. When Dr. Madan Kataria studied the effects of
laughter on health he became so convinced of its benefits that he founded the Laughter Club in 1995. Since then
he has opened branches in America, Australia and Europe. In all, there are 5000 clubs in 40 countries, including
seven in Taiwan. In Norway, in 2001, over 10,000 people attended one of his laughter sessions. Laughter
sessions are usually held in the early morning in a public area such as a park. They last for an hour and include
warm-up exercises like making faces and taking turns to walk in smaller and smaller circles pretending to be a
chicken. After 45 minutes of this, participants lie on their backs and in just two or three minutes they are all
rolling about laughing uncontrollably. Fans of the unusual therapy say that laughter has not only helped them
fight stress, it has also given them greater confidence and improved their social skills. Dr. Kataria does not
claim that laughter is the cure for everything, but it certainly does seem to help people reduce tension and
anxiety. Dr. Kataria explains: "Children laugh up to 400 times a day, but adults manage only 15 times. If we can
learn to laugh more in daily life, we will feel less "uptight" all the time. It's really that simple."

of her classmates. Her dream was to play the piano in concerts someday. She believed that music would always
be a part of her life. But things changed dramatically when she was twenty years old.
After falling ill with a mysterious fever, Sheila spent five weeks in hospital and almost died. The
medicine doctors gave her caused her to become totally deaf. She could no longer hear the music she had

Washington D.C. Her aim was to save money for graduate school. She continued to play the piano in her free
time, despite being unable to hear the music.
At graduate school, Sheila took a Master's degree in counseling. Later she became a professor at the

(3) In today's world many people have become accustomed to leading a busy life. But have you ever
wondered why they feel they have to do as much as they can as quickly as possible? Perhaps it is because they
have forgotten how to slow down. A growing number of people have gotten tired of doing everything so fast
day in and day out. They choose to do things at a more relaxed pace. Instead of running around like a busy ant
all day long, they prefer to stop and smell the roses. Why hurry all the time if you do not really need to? More
and more organizations devoted to taking things easy are popping up around the world. In Germany, Professor
Heintel of the Society for Deceleration [Chinese here, please] of Time thinks that society should pay more
attention to the subject of slowing down. In Sweden, the goal of the Slow Society is to provide information for
people who are interested in learning about how to live a slower-paced life. And in England a group called
Slowlondon is helping people in England's biggest and busiest city to find the right balance in life. Now and
then the group organizes special 'slow' events for people to get together and share their experiences - and, most
importantly, to have fun. The aim of these different groups is not to do everything slowly, but to do things at the
right speed in order to enjoy life.

New England is a region in the north-east corner of the United States. It is made up of six states: Maine,
Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Connecticut, and Vermont. In the 18th century, it was one of the
first parts of America to think of independence from Britain. Later, New England was the first region to
organize free public education, as well as the first to show signs of industrial development.
New England's rural geography is diverse. There are many lakes and sandy beaches near the coast, while
further inland are high mountain ranges and grassy hills extending through Connecticut, Massachusetts,
Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine. The numerous rivers and streams are a hallmark of the region. The
longest is the Connecticut River, at 655 km.
The climate in New England is also varied. But winter is usually long and cold everywhere, while
summer can be hot and humid. Fall in New England, which comes earlier than in other areas, is known for its
bright colors and is an important tourist season. Spring is generally wet and cloudy.
Some of America's greatest literary talents have come from New England. Many famous authors and
poets were born there, while others chose to live there. Mark Twain wrote some of his masterpieces when living

(3) When you hear the word “pirate,” you probably think of someone who robs ships at sea. No doubt
you have seen movies with old wooden ships and strangely dressed men with long hair and earrings. Previously,
pirate ships would fly a flag with a skull and crossbones on it. This is a symbol for piracy that has long been
used by movie-makers and toy manufacturers.
Despite its historical image, piracy is still very much alive in some parts of the world. It is estimated that
attacks by modern pirates at sea cause financial losses of up to US$16 billion a year. The majority of incidents
take place in the waters of the Strait of Malacca near Singapore, and off the coast of Somalia in east Africa.
Modern pirates prefer small, fast boats. They take advantage of the fact that cargo ships have small crews
these days. When ships slow down to navigate narrow straits, they are more accessible to attackers. And small
vessels are easy to disguise as fishing boats in order to deceive the authorities. Modern pirates also use a great
deal of technology, including mobile phones, speedboats, and machine guns.
In addition to theft at sea, the word “piracy” refers to the illegal copying and sale of manufactured goods.
Companies that make movies, books, CDs, computer games, and software are the most common victims of
copyright theft. Governments worldwide are fighting a constant battle to prevent such piracy, but it is a
complicated issue in today’s globalized world.
( ) 1. Which of the following is described in the first paragraph?
(A) The traditional image of a pirate.
(B) A famous movie about pirates.
(C) How to identify a pirate ship.
(D) Where pirates used to operate.
( ) 2. We know from the passage that pirates _____.
(A) usually sail larger ships now than previously
(B) are still responsible for major financial losses
(C) no longer attack ships that have gone to sea
(D) prefer to attack ships belonging to Singapore
(
) 3. What does the passage say about modern pirates?
(A) They don’t attack large cargo ships.
(B) They often pretend to be fishermen.
(C) They are easy to see from a ship.
(D) They only attack far from the coast.
( ) 4. According to the passage, governments are trying to _____.
