Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.

  A recent study shows that an unequal share of household chores is still the norm in many households, despite the fact that many more women now have jobs. In a survey of 1,256 people ages between 18 and 65, men said they contributed an average of 37% of the total housework, while the women estimated their share to be nearly double that, at 70%. This ratio was not affected by whether the woman was working or not.

  When they were asked what they thought was a fair division of labour, women with jobs felt that housework should be shared equally between male and female partners. Women who did not work outside the home were satisfied to perform 80% - the majority of the household work - if their husbands did remainder. Research has shown that, if levels increase beyond these percentages, women become unhappy and anxious, and feel they are unimportant.

  After marriage, a woman is reported to increase her household workload by 14 hours per week, but for men the amount is just 90 minutes. So the division of labour becomes unbalanced, as a man's share increases much less than the woman's. It is the inequality and loss of respect, not the actual number of hours, which leads to anxiety and depression. The research describes housework as thankless and unfulfilling. Activities included in the study were cooking, cleaning, shopping, doing laundry, washing up and childcare. Women who have jobs report that they feel overworked by these chores in addition to their professional duties. In contrast, full-time homemakers frequently anticipate going back to work when the children grow up. Distress for this group is caused by losing the teamwork in the marriage.

The word "remainder" in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to _________.

A. what is shared

B. what is fulfilled

C. what is done

D. what is left

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.

One of the biggest trends in television in recent years has been the rise of “Reality TV”. These shows, in which ordinary people are placed in unusual situations and then filmed without a script, have become some of the highest rating shows on television. Early programs of this genre, including Big Brother (from the Netherlands) and Survivor (from the United States), have led to dozens of copycat programs in many different countries. A common element to many of these programs is that a number of contestants are placed in a closed environment in which they are filmed 24 hours a day, and every week contestants are thrown off the show. What is it about these shows that makes them so popular? Perhaps it is because viewers enjoy watching ordinary people with real emotions being placed in extraordinary, situations. Or perhaps it is that people are really voyeurs - they enjoy being a spy, looking secretly into other people’s lives.

1. In recent years, "Reality TV has become more and more_______.

A. interesting              B. unusual                   C. popular                   D. enjoyable

2. The underlined word ‘‘which” in the passage refers to_______.

A. a common element                                     B. a closed environment

3. What is true about “Reality TV”?

A. They are made by ordinary people.           B. They create many copycat programs.

C. They describe people’s lives.                     D. They are filmed without a script.

A. “Reality TV” used to be more trendy

B. “Reality TV" is becoming more and more competitive

C. viewers enjoy watching something real but unusual

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.

     Recent research into the world of teenagers has suggested that they value friendship above everything else. Children aged between 12 and 15 were asked what was important to them. Their answers included possessions such as money and computer gadgets but also relationships with people. The teenagers questioned said that friends were the most important to them, more even than family, or boyfriends and girlfriends.

     We wanted to find out more about the results of this research so we asked our readers what they thought about the value of friendship. Here are some examples of what they said about their friends:

     Ben, 15:

     Every time I have a fight with my parents, I need some time on my own. But after that, the first thing I do is meet up with my friends. After playing football for a while, or skateboarding, I usually feel much happier again.

     Rory, 13:

     When I moved to a village in the countryside, I thought that it would be the end of my friendships. But my old friends have kept in touch and they come and visit during the holidays. There’s a lake nearby, so we often go sailing, waterskiing or windsurfing. And I have made some new friends here too, at school, since I joined the rugby club.

     Carlos, 11:

     Last year, I broke my arm on a skiing holiday. Unfortunately, it was my left arm and I am left-handed. My school friends all helped and copied their notes for me.

     It seems that our readers value their friendships very highly. From what they told us, they spend a lot of time with their friends, just hanging out, or sharing hobbies and interests. They seem to need their friends for advice, help, chats, and for having fun. Clearly, friends make each other feel better. Looking at what our readers told us, the results of the recent research are not really surprising.

28. Why are Ben, Rory and Carlos mentioned in the article?

     A. They know why teenagers value friendship.

     B. They read magazines.

     C. They give information about themselves.

     D. They are teenage boys.

29. Which of the following best describes Ben?

     A. He often has fights.                    B. He is happier than his friends.

     C. He likes being alone.                  D. He likes some sports.

30. What do we know about the lake that Rory visits?

     A. It is near the school.

     B. It is used by a lot of people who do water sports.

     C. It is near his home.

     D. It is a village.

31. Carlos mentions that he is left-handed because ………………………...

     A. it makes skiing harder

     B. it makes it worse that he broke the arm he uses most

     C. it is an interesting fact about himself and he was talking about his left arm

     D. it is very unfortunate when you break your left hand

32. The answers to the recent research and the answers from the readers …..

     A. were surprising                                       B. were similar

     C. were not the same                                              D. were both about sports
