GRAMMAR AND USE OF ENGLISH

1 For questions 1-15, read the text below and decide which answer A, B, CorD best fits each space.
Are you the person you'd like to be?
Have you ever regretted doing something you shouldn't have done or something you didn't do which you should
have? At one (0) C or another we probably all have. There's no (1) in getting depressed about it
now - it's no (2) crying over spilt milk. However, there may be some (3) in thinking about
exactly what happened and why because we might be able to (4) some conclusions for the future.
One thing we all do now and again is to lose our (5) with a friend or close (6) . The odd thing is
that we more often display great anger (7) someone we're (8) of than towards strangers. The
explanation may be that we see friends and relatives as a kind of safety net, an opportunity to let off a bit of steam in
a safe (9) , whereas the (10) of insulting a stranger or a (11) at work could be far more
serious.
Being honest is usually (12) of as a virtue and undoubtedly this is the (13) . On the other hand,
we have all experienced occasions when we have spoken our minds to someone, (14) them exactly what
we feel, and then have found ourselves (15) with feelings of guilt and remorse. Perhaps we should have
kept our mouths shut?

word in each space.After each spaceyou are given a clue to the kind of word that is missing.
Regrets
Most of us (0) __ a_YI_'t__ (auxiliary verb) always forgetting important dates, apart (1) (preposition)
the lucky few (2) (relative pronoun) are blessed with a good memory or the ability to organize
(3) (reflexive pronoun) so they don't forget important obligations. How many times (4) _
(auxiliary verb) we all said, 'I wish I had remembered!' How (5) (adverb of frequency) have we
offended people by failing to remember (6) (pronoun) birthdays or name days?
(7) (conjunction) they say it doesn't matter, we know, deep down, that we (8) _
(auxiliary verb) hurt their feelings. We can always try to make it (9) (preposition) to them next time
but unfortunately the damage has (10) (auxiliary verb) done and our relationship with that person
(11) (modal verb, future) never quite be the same again.
On the other hand, we sometimes do (12) (very or too?) much for someone else because we want to
please them and then feel we have damaged (13) (pronoun) own interests in so doing. When friends
(14) (auxiliary verb) involved we may find it difficult to say 'no' when they ask us to (15)
_____ (do or make?) them a favour, but true friendship should mean that we can say 'no' without risk to the
relationship.

Positive thinking
to 0 Positive thinking does not mean you to have to find every
./ 00 idea absolutely wonderful. It does mean you have to be
1 ready to explore an idea and to tty and bring out whatever
2 good features it may has. The next step might be to find
3 the weaknesses in case the idea and to try and strengthen
4 them, rather than for using them simply as an excuse for
5 rejecting the whole idea. Finally, the idea, after it has
6 been explored, may not be used up because there is a
7 better one or because, good though it is, it is not the suitable.
8 There is nothing wrong with being positive about an idea
9 at first and then rejecting it later, when you can see that
10 it won't to work. It is easy to be negative and critical and
11 it is time we had showed less respect for this kind of
12 destructive thinking and emphasized on creative thinking
13 more. We should first make ourselves list the positive things
14 about an idea before we criticize it. Too much talent is wasted
____ 15 in the negative thinking. So remember - think positive!

A sense of humour
__ ./__ 0 Have you noticed how often people are happy to hear the same joke,
~(}t 00 over and over again? One reason, of course, is that they have not
1 probably forgotten the details of the joke, but I am sure it also has
2 something to do with getting at the same pleasure more than once. So
3 when a person who has just started telling a joke asks his audience,
4 'Do you know it?' or 'Have you heard it before?' people must always
5 answer something like, 'It doesn't matter, let's hear it again.' It is not such
6 surprising that if a joke is worth hearing, it is worth hearing several times.
7 I think it was Ogden Nash who once said that it is probably better to have
8 an infectious disease than to have a sense of humour. He argued,
9 tongue-in-cheek no doubt, that although that people who possess a sense
____ 10 of humour have a good time, they do never actually achieve anything
____ 11 important, whether good or bad. This, thought Nash, is because when
____ 12 people with a sense of the humour begin to do anything important, they
____ 13 can't help noticing how so funny they look doing it, so they stop to have
____ 14 a good laugh at themselves. As a result, what might to have been a
____ 15 great achievement is left unfinished.

do bats know where they are going?

a 0 An odd thing about bats is that they do not have a good
+-- 00 eyesight, although they have to hunt for their food during
1 the night. In fact, bats do not rely on their eyes to find out
2 their way. They use a kind of radar system which works
3 like this: when they fly, bats make high-pitched sounds
4 which are so high that human beings cannot yet hear
5 them. The echoes from these sounds are thrown back to
6 the bat while it is still in to the air. The bat can tell whether
7 the echo came from an object nearby or much far away
8 and it will change the direction of its flight to avoid to
9 crashing into the object. Bats depend on flying more than
10 most animals. While birds and insects also fly, they have
11 and the ability to walk about if necessary. However, a
12 bat cannot walk very easily because of its limbs and
13 feet are not suitable; it cannot even stand very easily.
14 So it is actually then easier for a bat to hang upside
15 down from a branch than to sit on it.

./ 0 In 1655, a Portugese man appears to have been transported within
some 00 seconds from one country to another by some mysterious forces.
The man was for doing business in the Portugese colony of Goa in
2 India when suddenly he found himself back in Portugal. He was
3 put on trial, which mayor may not have been fair, and he was been
4 condemned to death. The authorities in Portugal at the time tended to
5 explain things according to their religious beliefs as well as and their
6 knowledge of the world. Their world included witches, magicians and
7 devils, who they were believed to be enemies of the Church and
8 authority. One of the characteristics by which these evil creatures
9 could have be recognized was that they were able to fly through the
10 air. We do not know about whether the man from Goa was carried
11 through the air or not. There are no surviving details of the case
12 although that the evidence at the time was thought to be good enough
13 to convict him. Since the seventeenth century, many other cases have
14 been reported in the which people have claimed to have flown through
15 the air. Nowadays most of people do not believe in witches and
magicians and UFOs are offered as an alternative explanation.

Journey of my dreams
./ 0 Until a few months ago, Colin, my husband, was looking for a job without
bij 00 big success and feeling life had little to offer to him. Now, after winning the
1 Lottery, we are rich and are both in a position to enjoy our leisure time as we
2 have never been able to do in our lives before. Our children are being grown
3 up and living abroad so we have no one to share out our good fortune with.
4 Anyway, we have decided to go on a long cruise. Colin came home a few
5 days ago with a huge pile of some colourful brochures for exotic holidays, the
6 kind of holiday I thought only film stars went on, not people like us. Now it
7 will be me lying on the deck of a luxury liner, sipping my Campari and sunbathing
8 as we will sail to some far-off destination. The idea of a swimming pool on a ship
9 is something more I have only read about. We started looking through the
er
10 brochures last night, for finding all those mythical places very tempting. It is hard to
s 11 believe that the Pyramids and the Taj Mahal will not just still be pictures in a book,
12 but that we could actually be there, standing inside and having our photograph
13 taken so we can show people back in home that we have really been. Of course
14 we will have to buy a new camera; our little Kodak hasn't been working good
15 since our Harry's wedding, which was ten whole years ago. And when I think of
the washing machine we couldn't afford to get repaired six months ago ...

(1) we stayed. Laurence chose it from the travel agent's brochures (2) it's near the

the resort doesn't have a beach, not what I'd call a beach, anyway - just a strip of black mud. (6) the
beaches in Tenerife are black because the whole island is basically an enormous lump of coke and the beaches are
made (7) powdered coke; it's volcanic, you see. Apparently, only a few years (8) it was
just a barren shoreline and then some businessmen decided to build a resort (9) and now it's
Blackpool beside the Atlantic. There's a main street (10) is always choked with traffic and lined with
the most vulgar bars, cafes and discos you ever saw, with deafening music and flashing lights and greasy cooking
smells all round the clock. (11) from that there's nothing except block after block of high-rise hotels
and apartments. It's a concrete nightmare with (12) any trees or grass. We didn't realize how horrible
(13) was immediately because it was dark (14) we arrived and the taxi from the airport
took (15) by what seemed to me to be a suspiciously roundabout route.

houses who offering rooms (with hot water and panoramic views),
