An old man who lived in a small side street of Mumbai had to put up with the nuisance of boys
playing cricket and making a lot of noise outside his house at night.
One evening when the boys were particularly 28 , he went out to talk to them. He explained that
he had just retired and was happiest when he could see or hear boys playing his
29
game, cricket.
He would therefore give them 25 rupees each week to play in the street at night. The boys were thrilled,
for they could hardly believe that they were being paid to do something they
30 !
At the end of the first two weeks, the boys came to the old man’s house, and went away
31
with their 25 rupees. The third week when they came back, however, the old man said he had
32
money and sent them away with only 15 rupees. The fourth week, the man said he had not yet received

his 33
from the government and gave them only 10 rupees. The boys were very
34 , but there
was not much they could do about it.
At the end of the fifth week, the boys came back again and knocked at the old man’s house, waiting
for their
35 . Slowly, the door opened and the old man appeared. He apologized that he could not
afford to pay them 25 rupees as he had
36 , but said he would give them five rupees each week
without fail.
This was really too much for the boys. “You expect us to play seven days a week for

five
rupees!” they yelled. “No way!” They stormed away and never played on the street again.

The largest television network in America is not ABC, CBS, or Fox. Nor is it one of the cable networks
such as CNN, which carries only news and news stories. It is not ESPN, the all-sports cable network, or
even MTV, which is famous for its music videos. Rather it is PBS, Public Broadcasting System, a non-profit
public broadcasting TV service. PBS has 349 member television stations in the U.S. and some member
stations by cable in Canada.
PBS only attracts a minority of all TV viewers, about 2 percent. The industry leader, NBC, however,
attracts 11 percent of viewers. But the growth of public television in the past two decades has been
dramatic. This is especially noteworthy when one considers that public television stations must often
survive on very limited budgets, on viewers’ donations, and on private foundations and some
governmental funding.
The level of quality of PBS programs, whether in national and international news, entertainment, or
education, is excellent. Almost a whole generation of children throughout the world is familiar with
Sesame Street and the characters of The Muppet Show. PBS is especially well known for the quality of its
many educational TV programs. Over 95 percent of all public television stations have tele-courses. These
courses are accepted and supported by more than 1,800 colleges and universities throughout the US.
Each year, over a quarter of a million students take courses this way.
38. What is PBS most famous for?
(A) Live news broadcasts.
(B) Cable services.
(C) Generous donations.
(D) Educational programs.
39. Which of the following has the highest percentage of viewers?
(A) NBC
(B) Fox
(C) ABC
(D) PBS
40. According to this article, PBS received part of its funding from _________.
(A) public schools
(B) advertising agencies
(C) private organizations
(D) other television stations
41. Which of the following is true about public television stations?
(A) The majority of their viewers are minority people.
(B) Their courses are accepted by many universities in America.
(C) They are shrinking in number because they make no profits.
(D) Ninety-five percent of their programs are tele-courses.

Twenty years ago, most experts believed that differences in how boys and girls behaved were mainly
due to differences in how they were treated by their parents, teachers, and friends. It’s hard to cling to
3
that belief today. Recent research has shown that there are biological differences between boys and girls.
Understanding these differences is important in raising and educating children.
For example, girls are born with more sensitive hearing than boys, and the difference increases as
kids grow up. So when a grown man speaks to a girl in what he thinks is a normal voice, she may hear it
as yelling. Conversely, boys who appear to be inattentive in class may just be sitting too far away to hear
the teacher.
Likewise, girls are better in their expression of feelings. Studies reveal that negative emotions are
seated in an area of the brain called the amygdala. Girls develop an early connection between this area
and the cerebral cortex, enabling them to talk about their feelings. In boys these links develop later. So
if you ask a troubled adolescent boy to tell you what his feelings are, he often cannot say much.
Dr. Sax, a proponent of single-sex education, points out that keeping boys and girls separate in the
classroom has yielded striking educational, social, and interpersonal benefits. Therefore, parents and
teachers should try to recognize, understand, and make use of the biological differences that make a
girl a girl, and a boy a boy.
42. Which of the following does the author believe?
(A) Boys and girls should be educated in different ways.
(B) Girls need more training in communication.
(C) Sex differences should be ignored in education.
(D) Parents should pay more attention to boys.
43. What is the main idea of the passage?
(A) Single-sex schools are not good because they keep boys and girls separate.
(B) Girls are better than boys in their ability to detect sounds.
(C) Boys tend to pay less attention in class than girls.
(D) Boys and girls behave differently because of biological differences.
44. What does the phrase “cling to” in the first paragraph mean?
(A) evaluate (B) challenge (C) maintain (D) abandon
45. Why do girls express negative feelings better than boys?
(A) Girls are more emotional than boys.
(B) The links between certain parts of the brain develop earlier in girls than in boys.
(C) The amygdala is located in different areas of the brain for boys and girls.
(D) Girls have more brain cells than boys.

Toni Morrison is an African American writer known for her novels describing experiences of black
women in America. Her novels express a unique view of what it means to be a woman in a society
dominated by males, and what it means to be black in a mostly white culture. Her works have been
well received since her first book, The Bluest Eye, was published in 1970, and her success as a writer led
to her winning the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1993.
Toni grew up in Ohio, where her parents had moved to escape southern racism. She read many
books as a child, and her father told her stories in a style that later influenced her own works. She
attended Howard University, and there changed her name from Chloe to Toni. Later, while busy as a
teacher and a mother, she wrote The Bluest Eye. This was followed by Sula and Song of Solomon. Her
1987 novel, Beloved, won a Pulitzer Prize and was made into a film later. It was inspired by the true
story of a slave woman who killed her infant, “Beloved,” in order to save it from a life of slavery.
Toni Morrison, who once said that an artist was also a “politician,” is known for expressing her views of
society from a distinct perspective—that of a black female. She accomplishes this through her use of
strong themes, vivid dialogues, and African American characters. She will long be remembered for
bringing African American literature into the mainstream.
