A month ago, I had no idea that on a Saturday afternoon in November I‘d be hanging 30 meters
above the ground and enjoying it. Now, I looked down at the river far below me, and realized why
people love rock-climbing.
My friend Matt and I had arrived at the Activity Centre on Friday evening. The accommodation
wasn‘t wonderful, but we had everything we needed (beds, blankets, food), and we were pleased to
be out of the city and in the fresh air.
On Saturday morning, we met the other ten members of our group. Cameron had come along with
two friends, Kevin and Simon, while sisters Carole and Lynn had come come with Amanda. We
had come from various places and none of us knew the area.
We knew we were going to spend the weekends outdoors, but none of us was sure exactly how.
Half of us spent the morning caving while the others went rock-climbing and then we changed at
lunchtime. Matt and I went to the caves first. Climbing out was harder than going in, but after a
good deal of pushing, we were out at last - covered in mud but pleased and excited by what we‘ve
done.

Read the text and questions below. For each question, mark the letter next to the correct answer - A,
B, C or D - on your answer sheet.
WINTER DRIVING
Winter is dangerous because it‘s so difficult to know what is going to happen and accidents take
place so easily. Fog can be waiting to meet you over the top of a hill. Ice might be hiding beneath
the melting snow, waiting to send you off the road. The car coming towards you may suddenly slide
across the road.
Rule Number One for driving on icy roads is to drive smoothly. Uneven movements can make a car
suddenly very difficult to control. So, every time you either turn the wheel, touch the brakes or
increase your speed, you must be as gentle and slow as possible. Imagine you are driving with a full
cup of hot coffee on the seat next to you. Drive so that you won‘t split it.
Rule Number Two is to pay attention to what might happen. The more ice there is, the further down
the road you have to look. Test how long it takes to stop by gently braking. Remember that you may
be driving more quickly than you can. In general, allow double your normal stopping distance on
snow, and even more on ice. Try to stay in control of your car at all times and you will avoid
trouble.
A. complain about bad winter driving
B. give information about winter weather

B. Drivers should expect problems in winter.
C. People drive too fast in winter.

A. to explain the importance of smooth movements
B. because he thinks refreshments are important for drivers
C. because he wants drivers to be more relaxed
D. to show how it can be spilled
20. Which traffic sign shows the main idea of the text?

* Read the text and questions below. For each question, mark the letter next to the correct answer - A,
When I first opened the first ―Body Shop‖ in 1976, my only object was to earn enough to feed my
children. Today, ―The Body Shop‖ is an international company rapidly growing all around the
world. In the years since we began, I have learned a lot. Much of what I have learned will be found
in this book, for I believe that we, as a company, have something worth saying about how to run a
successful business without giving up what we really believe in.
It‘s not a normal business book, nor is it just about my life. The message is that to succeed in
business, you have to be different. Business can be fun, a business can be run with love and it can
do good. In business, as in life, I need to enjoy myself, to have a feeling of family and to feel
excited by the unexpected. I have always wanted the people who work for ―The Body Shop‖ to feel
the same way.
Now this book sends these ideas of mine out into the world, makes the public. I‘d like to think there
are no limits to our ―family‖, no limits to what can be done. I find that an exciting thought. I hope
you do, too.

Some people have complained about this year‘s collection, New Writing 3, although I cannot
understand why. Surely 500 pages of original writing of this quality, for $6.99, is pretty amazing?
Fiction - both parts of novels and complete short stories - makes up most of the book. There are
some enjoyable pieces by famous writers, such as Candia Mc William and Rose Tremain. It‘s a
strange fact that the less well-known people seem to have written mainly about food. Take my
advice about Jane Harris‘s Those Nails - this piece should definitely not be read just after meals. It
contains some very unpleasant scenes which could turn your stomach!
There is fine work from nineteen poets, including R.S. Thomas and John Burnside. There are pieces
from novels-in-progress by Jim Crace and Jane Rogers. Finally, there is a little non-fiction, which
includes a very funny article by Alan Rusbridger on certain newspaper, and an extraordinary piece
about herself from Ursula Owen. This is an exceptional collection and I for once can‘t wait to see
what next year‘s choice will include.

A. give her opinions about a new book
B. give some information about new writers

―The best age to start learning the violin is between three and six‖, says Margaret Porter, a violinist
and music teacher. ―It‘s the time when you are learning about the world‖. Margaret, who lives in
London, prefers to take pupils at three and four, although she has made lots of exceptions for keen
five-year-olds. When she started teaching the violin in 1972, her first class consisted of her
children‘s five-year-old friends.
Margaret‘s pupils have group lessons. Each group has about a dozen pupils and each lesson lasts an
hour, once a fortnight. In addition, each pupil has one individual lesson a week with her. Parents
also have to attend the classes. It is important that the parents take an active interest in the lessons.
From the earliest lessons, pupils learn to play by ear. They do not even try to read music until they
have been playing for several years, and for a long time there is a big difference between their
playing and reading of music. Margaret says that her method is not supposed to produce great
violinists, and always suggests that pupils who perform particularly well should leave and study the
violin using more traditional method.

B. describe a different way of learning the violin
C. give advice on how to find a music teacher

To: The Manager of Mezzo Mash Restaurant
Dear Sir,
Last Tuesday evening, I went with two friends to your restaurant for my 18 th birthday. I‘d
booked the table for eight o‘clock and we arrived about ten minutes late, but that was not a
problem. The waiter, who was very polite, showed us to our table and we studied the menu. I
ordered a fish pie and my friends ordered some salads. However, after about fifteen minutes,
the waiter informed us that there was no more fish pie. He apologized and suggested ordering
something else. I looked at the menu again and decided to have the same as my friends - a
salad.
When the food came, it was very good. After we‘d finished, we decided to order some
desserts. The waiter said that, unfortunately, it was too late. There wasn‘t enough time for us
to order desserts. He said he was very sorry but our table was reserved by another group at
nine thirty and we would have to leave.
We paid the bill and left feeling very disappointed. It spoilt my birthday. Nobody told us
when we arrived that there was a time limit. It was very unsatisfactory and I doubt that we‘ll
go to your restaurant again.
Yours faithfully,
Martin Cary

THE SHOEMAKER
Bill Bird is a shoemaker who cannot make shoes fast enough for his growing number of customers -
and he charges more than $300 for a pair! Customers travel hundreds of kilometers to his London
shoe clinic or to his workshop in the countryside to have their feet measured. He makes shoes for
people with feet of unusual sizes: very large, very small, very broad or very narrow. The shoes are
at least fashionable as those found in ordinary shops.
Mr Bird says: ―My problem is that I cannot find skilled workers. Young people all seem to prefer
to work with computer these days. We will lose the necessary skills soon because there are fewer
and fewer shoemakers nowadays. I am 45, and now I want to teach young people everything I know
about making shoes. It‘s a good job, and a lot of people want to buy beautiful shoes specially made
for them.‖
He started in the business 19 years ago and now he employs three other people. His customers pay
about $500 for their first pair of shoes. He says: ―Our customers come because they want
comfortable shoes which are exactly the right size‖. Extra pairs of shoes cost between $320 and
$450, as it takes one employee a whole week to make just one shoe.

Orbis is an organization which helps blind people everywhere. It has built an eye hospital inside an
aeroplane and flown it all over the world with an international medical team. Samantha Graham, a
fourteen-year-old schoolgirl from England, went with the plane to Mongolia. Samantha tells the
story of Eukhtuul, a young Mongolian girl.
―Last year, when Eukhtuul was walking home from school, she was attacked by boys with sticks
and her eyes were badly damaged. Dr Duffey, an Orbis doctor, said that without an operation she
would never see again. I thought about all the everyday things I do that she couldn‘t, things like
reading schoolbooks, watching television, seeing friends, and I realized how lucky I am.‖
The Orbis team agreed to operate on Eukhtuul and I was allowed to watch, together with some
Mongolian medical students. I prayed the operation would be successful. The next day I waited
nervously with Eukhtuul while Dr Duffey removed her bandages. ―In six months, your sight will be
back to normal.‖, he said. Eukhtuul smiled, her mother cried, and I had to wipe away some tears,
too!‖

BEING AN OLDER STUDENT
At 32, I have just finished my first year at university. As well as attending lectures regularly, I have
had to learn to read books quickly and write long essays.
I decided to go to university after fourteen years away from the classroom. As a secretary, although
I was earning a reasonable amount of money, I was bored doing something where I hardly had to
think. I became more and more depressed by the idea that I was stuck in the job. I was jealous of the
students at the local university, who looked happy, carefree and full of hope, and part of something
that I wanted to explore further.
However, now that I‘ve actually become a student I find it hard to mix with younger colleagues.
They are always mistaking me for a lecturer and asking me questions I can‘t answer. I also feel
separated from the lecturers because, although we are the same age, I know so much less than them.
But I am glad of this opportunity to study because I know you need a qualification to get a
rewarding job, which is really important to me. Unlike most eighteen-year-olds, I much prefer a
weekend with my books to one out partying. Then there are the normal student benefits of long
holidays and theater and cinema discounts. I often have doubts about what I‘ll do after university,
but I hope that continuing my education at this date has been a wise choice.
A. help lecturers understand older students
B. explain her reasons for returning to study
C. suggest some good methods for studying

I was born in Venice, one of the most popular tourist destination in Italy, and studied architecture at
university here. Though I have also spent time away, I have always come back because it‘s my
home.
In Venice, there are no roads, only canals, so you have to get around on foot or by boat. I live on a
canal in the Rialto area in a house that was built in 1588 for the Muti family, who were merchants in
the silk trade. In the mid-eighteenth century, it was home to the Vezzi family, who made things like
plates and bowls in fine china and became rich sending these around the world. These merchants‘
houses in Venice are like palaces. Their owners had to have space to show off their goods, but the
building also had to be an office, a factory, a store and a home. My house came into our family in
1919, when it was bought by my grandfather. He died before I was born but he was the director of a
museum where I often do research on old documents. On some of these, I‘ve seen notes in his
handwriting, so, in a strange way, I met him through these documents.
Sadly, the population of Venice has dropped from 120,000 in the 1950s to about 60,000 now. This
doesn‘t include the thousands of tourists who come to visit. I welcome the tourists but unless
something is done to stop everyday shops like bakeries and chemists from disappearing, the city
will die. I want people who love the city to come here to live and work and give Venice back a life
that is not just about tourism.
16. What is the writer’s main reason for writing this text?
A. to persuade more tourists to visit his city
B. to give readers the history of his hometown
C. to say what he feels about his birthplace
D. to describe some important moments in his life
17. The family who first owned the writer’s home

A. used to buy and sell silk
B. produced plates and bowls
C. were skilled architects
D. helped to build the canals
18. What does the writer say about his grandfather?
A. His grandfather taught him to study documents.
B. He didn‘t find his grandfather‘s handwriting easy to read.
C. He wasn‘t able to get to know his grandfather personally.
D. His grandfather turned his home into a museum.
19. What is the writer’s attitude to Venice today?
A. He hopes tourists will stop visiting the city.
B. He would like people to get jobs working with tourists.
C. He believes the city would benefit from having fewer inhabitants.
D. He thinks local businesses should be encouraged to stay.
20. What might the writer say about his house?
A. I have never lived anywhere else apart from in my home in the Rialto are of Venice.
B. My house is on a canal in Venice and my family, starting with my grandfather, have lived there since 1919.
C. We don‘t know who lived in the house before 1588 but it was owned by merchants from then until the
eighteenth century.
D. The house was made bigger in the mid-eighteenth century because the owner wanted it to look like a palace.
