Questions 6-10: Read the following passage and then circle the best answer

Snake Lovers

Around the world there are men and women who make their living in unusual ways. Most of

us would not do such jobs for a day, let alone pursue them as a lifelong career. However, the

lifespan of these people may not be that long. They spend their days working with snakes.

Boonreung Bauchan is listed in the book of Guinness World Records for his feat of spending

seven days in a pen filled with snakes. This Thai snake charmer performed with his pet snakes

to earn money to support his family. During his performances, he danced with snakes, held

them around his body, and even kissed them. One day, a cobra kissed him back. He died before

he reached the hospital. Although he left behind several boxes of pet snakes, no one in his

family was bold enough to touch them. Instead of carrying on with the snake shows, they

decided to donate the snakes to the zoo.

In Australia, John Cann carries on his family’s tradition of reptile shows. His parents started

their snake circus in 1919. Cann's mother was called Cleopatra after the queen of Egypt who

was lethally bitten by a snake. Both parents survived their profession and retired in good health.

Their son has made good use of his lifelong experience with snakes. He now advises the

Australia Museum on reptiles and has written several books on snakes and turtles. His goal is

not only to entertain, but also to educate his audience on the value of these reptiles and their

important role in the environment.

In India, Romulus Whitaker doesn’t charm snakes or entertain his audience, but he is an

active educator and environmentalist. He caught his first snake when he was just three. Now he

is the director of the Madras Crocodile Bank and advises major international organizations on

protecting the habitat of reptiles. Whitaker may be in need of protection himself. He has been

bitten three times, but he doesn’t blame the snakes. He says he’s more afraid of people than of

snakes.

6. What is this passage mainly about?

A. Snake shows B. The dangers of snakes

C. Snakes in different countries D. People working with snakes and other reptiles

Jeanne Dixon

Jeanne Dixon began making predictions when she was a little girl. She had a crystal ball that

she used to look into the future. She correctly predicted several events, including the death of

her grandfather. She also learned to use astrology. When she was just eight years old, a palm

reader told her fortune. The palm reader said that Jeanne would become famous for her unique

ability to predict the future.

Dixon made many predictions about the future throughout her life, but the one that brought

her the most fame was her prediction of the assassination of President Kennedy. In 1952, she

had a vision. She saw a man with blue eyes living in the White House. He was going to die a

violent death. Eight years later, John Kennedy, a man with blue eyes, became president of the

United States. On November 22nd

, 1963, Jeanne told her friends, “Something terrible is going to

happen today.” Then, they heard an announcement. President Kennedy had been shot.

Another of Dixon’s major predictions was the death of President Kennedy’s brother Robert.

One day, she was walking through a hotel in Los Angeles. Suddenly, she stopped and said,

“Robert Kennedy is going to be killed here.” Soon after that, in June 1968, Robert Kennedy was

shot in that exact place.

Dixon accurately predicted the deaths of several other celebrities. She also predicted other

kinds of events, for example, a big earthquake in Alaska in 1964. She made a number of wrong

predictions as well, but people don’t seem to remember as many of these.

Dixon didn’t keep any fees she earned from making predictions. She donated all the money

to a charity that supported educational and health projects for children. She was a vegetarian

and often prepared healthy food for elderly people. She also liked to help animals and took care

of many lost cats and dogs.

Jeanne Dixon died in 1997, but she left behind several predictions which could still come

true. One of them is that intelligent life will be discovered on another planet.


A. Using astrology B. A famous palm reader

C. Assassinations of famous people D. A woman who predicted the future

A. An astrologer B. A palm reader

C. A crystal ball reader D. Jeanne’s grandfather

Question 6-10


Wong Tai Sin Temple

Wong Tai Sin Temple, with its colorful architecture and peaceful gardens, sits among the high-

rise buildings of Hong Kong. It is one of the more popular places to visit in the city. It is

especially known for the fortune-tellers that work there.

People visit the temple to honor Wong Tai Sin, a shepherd who lived hundreds of years ago.

According to legend, at the age of fifteen he learned the secret of making a medicine that could

cure all illnesses. He lived alone for forty years while he worked to perfect this magic medicine.

Nowadays, visitors to the temple bring flowers and incense as offerings for Wong Tai Sin. They

pray for good health and for good luck in business. Most of all, they pray for guidance for the

future. This is because Wong Tai Sin was known not only for his ability to cure illnesses, but

also for his skill at correctly predicting the future. The temple has the largest concentration of

fortune-tellers in Asia. There can be as many as 150 fortune-tellers working there at any one

time.

The most common fortune-telling method at the temple is the use of fortune sticks, called chim.

Each chim has a number on it. You shake a container of sticks until one falls out. Then, you

take the stick to a fortune- teller, who will interpret it for you. If you want to try something

different, there are other fortune-telling methods to choose from. For a small fee, a fortune-teller

will read your face or palm, consult the ancient book, the I Ching, or use astrology to predict

your future.

Wong Tai Sin Temple is known for its brightly colored buildings decorated with beautiful

paintings and intricate carvings. It also contains the Good Wish Garden with a stream, waterfall,

and ponds. If you want to know your future, or just want to enjoy a few moments of the present

in a beautiful spot, visit Wong Tai Sin Temple.

Question 6-10


Tea Leaves

The art of predicting the future with tea leaves has been practiced in both Asia and Europe

for centuries. It’s not hard to try doing it yourself.

First, brew yourself a cup of tea. You can use any kind of loose tea, but it’s best to drink it

from a wide, white cup. This makes it easy to see the leaves. Relax and enjoy your tea. Drink it

all, but leave a spoonful at the bottom of the cup. Now pick up the cup and move it three times

from right to left. Turn it upside down over a saucer to let the liquid drain out. Turn it right side

up again, and now you are ready to read the leaves.

When you interpret the leaves, pay attention to their position in the cup. Leaves near the top

represent the near future, while leaves near the bottom represent the distant future. Leaves near

the cup’s handle represent yourself or your home. The images in the leaves aren’t always

distinct, but if you look carefully, some pictures will appear.

Both birds and airplanes mean that you will make a journey. Birds also represent good

luck. A cross or a snake, on the other hand, means that bad luck will come your way. A baby

means that you will have small worries. Ladders and stars mean that you will reach your dream.

Apples mean the same.

If you need money, look for a diamond, but be careful of clouds. Diamonds mean that you

will receive money unexpectedly, but clouds mean that you will have financial problems. If you

are looking for love, maybe you will see a moon or a cage in the leaves. A moon represents

romance, and a cage represents marriage.

Both trees and books are lucky symbols. Trees represent good health and long life,

and an open book means good news. Eyeglasses mean that good and surprising things will

happen.

Everybody likes to relax with a steaming cup of fragrant tea, but it can be more than

just a delicious drink. After you’ve enjoyed your tea, don’t throw away the leaves until you’ve

read your future.


A. Looking for love B. How to have a tea party

C. Predicting the future in a tea cup D. Fortune-telling around the world

7. Which leaves represent your home?

A. Leaves near the handle of the cup B. Leaves near the bottom of the cup

C. Leaves near the top of the cup D. Leaves on the cup’s saucer

8. Which image means that you will reach your dreams?

A. Diamonds B. Airplanes

C. Apples D. Babies

9. What could clouds mean?

A. Someone in your home has financial worries.

B. You might lose something in the distant future.

C. You will have money problems soon.

D. You will never find love.

10. What does ‘appear’ mean in paragraph 3?

PART 2: Question 6-10


Pompeii

The ancient Roman town of Pompeii sat at the foot of the giant volcano Vesuvius in

southern Italy. The town and the volcano had lived peacefully side by side for years. Pompeii’s

citizens lived a good life. Their town was a wealthy port and a popular resort. Many rich

Romans had their vacation homes there. The theaters, shops, and temples were filled with

activity. All this ended on August 24th

in the year 79 A.D.

At about noon on August 24th

, a great cloud of ash and rocks spewed out of the top of

Vesuvius, ascending 20 kilometers into the air. The ash and rocks began to rain down on the

citizens of Pompeii and other nearby towns. Soon, the roofs of Pompeii were covered with a

layer of volcanic material that was about three meters thick. Buildings started collapsing under

the heavy weight. By this time, people had already started escaping from the town. Taking what

possessions they could and calling fearfully to their loved ones to join them, they escaped to the

countryside, as far from the town as they could go. By evening, most of the residents had left

Pompeii.

But Vesuvius hadn’t finished yet. All night long, it continued to spew rock and ash high into

the air. The next morning, steaming lava poured out of the volcano and rolled down its sides

toward Pompeii. The lava buried the town in a layer so deep that only the tops of the very tallest

buildings could be seen. Later, some people returned to the town to try to dig their possessions

out of the hardened lava, but of course no one could live there any more. The buried town lay

abandoned for hundreds of years.

In 1748, the long-forgotten town was rediscovered. Since then, a number of excavations

have been made uncovering a great deal of information about ancient Roman life. Architecture,

art, and other examples of Roman culture were all perfectly preserved by the lava. Excavators

have also uncovered the bodies of about 2,000 Pompeii citizens who, unable to escape the

rushing wave of lava, became frozen in it forever.

6. What is this passage mainly about? A. The ancient Roman Empire B. The last days of Pompeii C. The volcanoes of Rome D. The excavation of an ancient town 7. At about what time of day did Vesuvius begin to erupt? A. Early in the morning B. 12:00 noon C. Late in the afternoon D. At night 8. What happened in 1748? A. Pompeii was rediscovered. B. Vesuvius erupted again. C. A museum of Roman art was opened D. Pompeii’s citizens returned to their homes. 9. What is true about Pompeii? A. Most of the citizens were poor. B. It was a boring place to visit.

C. Very few people lived there. D. It was on the coast. 10. What does ‘sat’ mean in paragraph 1? A. was on a chair B. was in a place

Question 6-10


The Great Molasses Flood

Molasses, a sweet syrup made from sugarcane, is used in baking. There’s an old saying “as

slow as molasses in January” because cold molasses becomes very thick and doesn’t pour

easily. This was proven to be an inaccurate description in January of 1919, when a giant wave

of molasses rushed through the streets of Boston at a speed of almost 60 kilometers an hour. It

caused a disaster that could have been avoided. It was brought about by the stupidity of one

man.

A Boston company built a huge molasses storage tank. The tank was over 1 6 meters tall and

30 meters wide. When it was finished, no one tested the tank to see if it leaked. Millions of

liters of the sticky, sweet liquid were added to the tank. It did leak. Rather than fix the leaks, the

man in charge painted the tank brown, the color of molasses, so the leaks were not so evident.

Just after noon on January 15th

, people in the area heard a loud cracking noise followed by a

muffled roar. The leaking storage tank had exploded, sending a ten-meter-high wave of

molasses flowing through the nearby streets. It wrecked everything in its path -people’s homes,

warehouses, even part of the local train line. It tossed wagons, horses, and furniture into the air.

Several people and animals were drowned by the swiftly moving wave of syrup. All in all, 21

people, 12 horses, and one cat were killed, and 150 people were injured.

The molasses was almost a meter deep in the streets around the storage tank. Rescue work

was nearly impossible because rescuers couldn’t walk through the sticky stuff. It sucked the

shoes right off their feet. Molasses filled the cellars of neighborhood houses, and it took months

to pump it out. The streets and buildings had to be washed with salt water because fresh water

couldn’t remove the stuff. As a result of the flood and ensuing clean up, Boston Harbor was

dark brown for six months. To this day, some people claim that on a hot day they can still smell

molasses in the neighborhood.


A. A disaster in Boston B. Clean up of Boston Harbor

C. Different ways to use molasses D. The history of a molasses company

7. Why did the man paint the storage tank brown?

A. Brown was his favorite color. B. He had many extra liters of brown paint.

C. He didn’t want to fix the leaks in the tank. D. A paint company gave him free brown paint.

8.. How fast did the wave of molasses move?

A. Ten meters an hour B. Sixteen meters an hour

C. Sixteen kilometers an hour D. Sixty kilometers an hour

9. What was the “muffled roar”?

A. The angry shouts of neighborhood residents

B. The noise of a train stuck in the molasses

Question 6-10


Chinese White Dolphins

When one thinks of the colorful creatures of the sea, dolphins are not usually the first to

come to mind. Though they are born dark gray like other dolphins, Chinese white dolphins

become pink by the time they reach maturity. There are a number of theories about why they

change color over time. Some biologists believe it is because the dolphins eat shellfish. Others

say it is their blood showing through their skin, similar to humans when we blush. Their rarity

has led Chinese white dolphins to become both a tourist attraction and an endangered species.

Despite the damage that has been done to the western waters of Hong Kong, they are still the

preferred habitat of the Chinese white dolphin. The construction of Hong Kong’s Chep Lap Kok

Airport in the late 1990s caused a great deal of stress for the local dolphins. Their population

dropped from a mere 400 or so to less than 100. While the airport was under construction, boat

traffic increased, the water became polluted, and the noise disrupted the dolphins’ ability to

navigate and communicate. Most of the baby dolphins that were born during the construction of

this airport did not survive. Since so few of these dolphins reach the age of reproduction, the

species is in danger of extinction.

People come from near and far to watch the playful behavior of these rare dolphins, which

perform like acrobats in their natural environment. In a move known as breeching, a dolphin

jumps right out of the water, flopping back in with a gigantic splash. Though they appear to be

playing, dolphins may breech in order to scare off predators, or simply to scratch an itch.

Tourists also love to spot Chinese white dolphins that are spy hopping. With this trick, dolphins

come halfway out of the water in order to snoop around. The curiosity of humans and dolphins

combined, however, creates various dangers for these rare animals. Humans in their boats get

too close to the dolphins. Many dolphins are injured or killed by fishing gear and boat engines.


A. Dolphin tricks B. Colors of dolphins

C. Dangers for dolphins D. A rare and interesting dolphin

7. Why are Chinese white dolphins pink?

A. They eat shellfish. B. They blush.

C. Their blood is very bright. D. Nobody knows for sure.

8. What was a result of construction in the waters near Hong Kong?

A. The dolphins had difficulty communicating.

B. The dolphins disrupted work on the airport.

C. The dolphins found another place to live.

D. The dolphins stopped having babies

9. Why might dolphins sometimes get close to tourists?

A. The dolphins are hungry. B. The dolphins are curious.

C. The dolphins want to be scratched. D. The dolphins like the sound of boat engines.

10. What does dropped mean paragraph 2?

A. left out B. got smaller

C. collapsed form being exhausted D. let fall from the hand

Question 6-10


The Dating Supermarket


60

Although Paris is often considered the city of romance, close to a million adults who call it

home are single. Many single people say that France's capital is one of the most difficult places

to meet people. The complaints of this lonely group have inspired a new phenomenon known as

"supermarket dating". At Galerie Lafayette Gourmet, singles can shop for more than just the

items on their grocery list. They can look for someone who has blue eyes, brown hair, and is 1.8

meters tall, or whatever may be on their romantic shopping list.

At this Paris location, single people of all ages can schedule their shopping for Thursday

nights between 6:30 an 9:30 P.M. When they walk through the door, they pick up a purple

basket to advertise that they are looking for love. They try to arrive early because the baskets

disappear quickly, and then they have to wait in line for their turn to wander the store aisles.

With purple baskets in hand, shoppers can consider their romantic options while they pick out

their groceries. When they are ready to pay, they can go to the checkout line that is especially

for singles who want to chat.

Most of the people who look for love in the supermarket are skeptical of Internet dating.

They know that it is too easy to embellish one's appearance or to lie about one's age over the

Internet. The supermarket, on the other hand, is considered a safe and casual environment in

which to meet a potential match. In addition, what one finds in another's grocery basket can say

a thing or two about that person's character or intentions. Buying pet food can be a man's way of

showing a potential match that he has a sensitive side. Women who fill their baskets with low –

fat food show their healthy style of living. These days it's possible to find much more than food

at a grocery store.


A. Grocery shopping B. The best stores in Paris

C. A place to meet potential dates D. The disadvantages to Internet dating

7. What is Galerie Lafayette Gourmet?

A. A Singles club B. A beauty salon

C. A grocery store D. A dating service

8. What do shoppers at Galerie Lafayette Gourmet use purple baskets to do?

A. To show that they want a date B. To hold a lot of groceries

C. To look fashionable D. To get a discount

9. According to the passage, why do people look for love in the supermarket?

A. Because all the shoppers are good - looking

B. Because dating services are too expensive

C. Because it's safer than Internet dating

D. Because it's very convenient

Question 6-10


David Beckham


69

Soccer fans are crazy about their favorite teams. They are even wilder about their favorite

players. One of the most popular soccer players in the world is David Beckham. He is so

famous that even people who don’t follow soccer know his name. Beckham became a celebrity

because he is one of a kind. He has talent, passion, and a distinct image that people can’t get

enough of.

David Beckham has always had a passion for soccer (or football, as it is known in his

country, England). As a boy, he dreamed about playing for Manchester United. In 1991, his

wish came true when he qualified for United’s junior team. Beckham’s team won the Football

Association Youth Cup in his first season. The next year, when he was only 18 years old, he

became a professional player. By outshining the other players on his team, Beckham landed the

role of team captain. Fans and teammates were amazed by how well he took penalty kicks and

how far he could kick the ball. Scoring a goal from the halfway line proved that he deserved to

be the highest-paid soccer player in the world. Changing teams from Manchester United to Real

Madrid only heightened Beckham’s popularity.

One of the reasons people love David Beckham is because he is not afraid to show his true

self. Appearing in public in a sarong or with painted nails does not seem to faze him. While

many celebrities try to hide from the media, Beckham loves to experiment with fashion in the

public eye. His hair and fashion styles have set trends all over the world. After the 2002 World

Cup, there were blond Mohawks throughout Korea. When Beckham shaved off half of an

eyebrow, many young people did the same thing. In Japan, one company made a three-meter-

high chocolate statue of Beckham and convinced him to be their spokesperson. There are other

sides to Beckham’s personality, too. Many fans love the fact that he is also a dedicated father:

he and his wife, Victoria, have three children.

Question 6-10


Where Did Soccer Originate?

There is great debate over when the first soccer game was played. Many historians believe

that the first games involving kicking a ball were played by Chinese soldiers during the Han


77

Dynasty over 2,000 years ago. A similar game was played in Japan, Greece, and Rome. In some

cultures, the ball symbolized the sun. The purpose of the game was to capture “the sun” and

ensure a good growing season.

In medieval times, the European version only remotely resembled the game of soccer that

exists today. It was much more violent in nature, and involved two teams, each one as large as

an entire town or community. Historical records show that soccer was sometimes even played

with a human head. Tripping and biting were also allowed. Before the 1800s, the game was

outlawed throughout much of England. The penalty for playing soccer was time in jail.

In the 1800s, students in England’s colleges and universities became obsessed with the

game once again. This time, rules were established to keep control over the violence and the

size of the teams. However, every school had its own rules, which made it hard for them to

compete against each other. The Football Association was established in 1863 in order to set

down rules and govern the matches between the different teams. Six years later, the game

officially became a “no hands” sport.

The sport also gained popularity in the British navy. Sailors brought their soccer balls on

board and played the game in their free time. Young people around the world showed up to

watch the sailors play and then went home and organized their own teams. By the twentieth

century, the whole world was playing soccer. In 1908, soccer became an Olympic sport. This

helped make soccer the most popular spectator sport in the world. The first World Cup was held

in 1930 in South America. Every four years, the top professionals compete to bring home the

World Cup trophy.


A. Soccer in the British navy B. Ancient soccer games

C. The history of soccer D. The rules of soccer
