PART 1: READING (2 pts - 0.1/ each)
Task 1: GUIDED CLOZE TEST
Choose the word or phrase (A, B, C or D) that best fits each blank in the following passage.
Phobias
The point of Phobia Awareness Week is to highlight the difficulties that many people face in everyday
situations. It is important to (71) ... between a fear and a phobia. It's quite usual for all of us to have our
own peculiar fears, for example being anxious around snakes or nervous about flying. However, only a very
small proportion of us actually have a phobia of these things. When these fears begin to  (72) ... you
embarrassment or you feel that your life is being disrupted then you would be wise to seek treatment for
what could potentially be a phobia. By far the most (73) ... phobia and potentially the most disruptive is
agoraphobia. The word derives from Greek and (74) ... means 'fear of the marketplace' but we apply it
today to describe a distressing condition in which people (75) ... going outside because of the awful
feelings of anxiety that arise. Treatment of phobias usually consists of the patient undergoing behavioural
therapy during which they gradually get used to being near the object or the situation that causes them
fear. Drugs may be prescribed to treat anxiety and many people opt for alternative therapy such as
acupuncture or hypnosis to help them come to (76) ... with their fear and conquer it.

Task 2: READING COMPREHENSION

Read the passage and choose the best answer for each question below.
It’s often said that we team things at the wrong time. University students frequently do the minimum of
work because they’re crazy about a good social life instead. Children often scream before their piano
practice 5 because it’s so boring. They have to be given gold stars and medals to be persuaded to swim, or
have to be bribed to take exams. But the story is different when you’re older.
Over the years, I’ve done my share of adult learning. At 30, I went to a college and did courses in History
and English. It was an amazing experience. For starters, I was paying, so there was no reason to be late - I
was the one frowning and drumming my fingers if the tutor was late, not the other way round. Indeed, if I
could persuade him to linger for an extra five minutes, it was a bonus, not a nuisance. I wasn’t frightened
to ask questions, and homework was a pleasure not a pain. When I passed an exam, I had a big meal, not
for my parents or my teachers. The satisfaction I got was entirely personal.
Some people fear going back to school because they worry that their brains have got rusty. But the joy is
that, although some parts have rusted up, your brain has learnt all kinds of other things since you were
young. It has learnt to think independently and flexibly and is much better at relating one thing to another.
What you lose in the rust department, you gain in the maturity department.
In some ways, age is a positive plus. For instance, when you’re older, you get less frustrated. Experience
has told you that, if you’re calm and simply do something carefully again and again, eventually you’ll get
the hang of it. The confidence you have in other areas - from being able to drive a car, perhaps - means
that if you can’t, say, build a chair instantly, you don’t, like a child, want to destroy your first pathetic
attempts. Maturity tells you that you will, with application, eventually get there.
I hated piano lessons at school, but I was good at music. And coming back to it, with a teacher who could
explain why certain exercises were useful and with musical concepts that, at the age of ten. I could never
grasp, was magical. Initially, I did feel a bit strange, thumping out a piece that I’d played for my school
exams, with just as little comprehension of what the composer intended as I’d had all those years before.
But soon, complex emotions that I never knew poured out from my fingers, and suddenly I could
understand why practice makes perfect.

The origin of language
The truth is nobody really knows how language first began. Did we all start talking at around the same
