If you examine your day for reading opportunities, you will discover lots of free time. Standing at the dentist’s waiting room, queuing up for things: the occasional 10- 20 minutes here and there quickly add up. But the time will fly if you always have your book with you.
3._______
Books are there to be read. You can generally buy classics for $1, so don’t be overprotective with the. Read in the bath (in the shower may not be such a good idea). I once found myself with 75 pages of a Dickens novel left to read, and a plane to catch. Rather than spend a two- week holiday lumbered with a 900- page book I pulled the last 100 pages out and took them with me.

There are 106,000 books published in Britain every year. The best of seven centuries worth of literature is published in paperback. There has to be something you would like. Identifying it may take time. Be guided by what you have enjoyed in the past and branch out from there: Roald Dahl? Then try R. L Stine. Stephen King? Then try Clive Barker. Agatha Christie? Then try Patricia Highsmith or Ruth Rendell.
5._______
If you are not particularly enjoying a book, you are guaranteed to find 143 other things to do instead of reading. Consequently, it will take months to finish and put you off picking up another. When you find this happening, stop reading this book and start another immediately.
III. Read the passage and choose the best answer to the question or complete the sentence. Circle A, B, C or D (1.0p)
As far as 700 B.C., people have talked about children being cared for by wolves. Romulus and Remus, the legendary twin founders of Rome, were purported to have been cared for by wolves. According to legend, Mars fathered the two boys. As a result, a relative of their mother put her in prison and ordered that the boys be drowned in the Tiber River. However, a she- wolf saved them from this horrible fate and took them back to her liar to care for them. Legend has it that when a she- wolf loses her litter, she seeks a human child to take its place.
This seemingly preposterous idea did not become credible until the late nineteen century when a French doctor actually found a naked ten- year- old boy wandering in the woods. He did not walk erect, could not speak intelligibly, nor could he relate to people. He only growled and stared at them. Finally, the doctor won the boy’s confidence and began to work with him. After many long years of devoted and patient instruction, the doctor was able to get the boy to clothe and feed himself, recognize and utter a number of words, and write letters and form words.

Everybody has heard about the Internet, but do you know what an “intranet” is? (0)___B______.
In fact, intranets make use of the same software programs as the internet to connect computers and people (1)____________.
If your intranet is working properly, it can link together huge amounts of information which is stored in different places in the company. (2)__________
A company intranet can, of course, be used for unimportant information like office memos and canteen menus. (3)____________.
The intranet is a great idea, but the system only works if everyone on the intranet is willing to share their information with other people, (4)_________
Another problem which often occurs is that top managers like to use the intranet to communicate down rather than to ‘communicate across’ (5)_________.
Unfortunately, many departments don’t want to share specialist knowledge with others.
It is a computer NETWORK that is private to a company, university, etc, but is connected to and uses the same SOFTWARE as the Internet.
In this way, people can get the information they need, regardless of where it comes from.
Most employees prefer to communicate by telephone or in writing.
But an intranet should provide important information which people need to make decisions about new products, costings and so on.
This means that you do not have to buy a lot of additional programs to set up an intranet service.
That is, they use the intranet to give orders, not to exchange information between themselves and others working in the same organisation.
III.Read the passage and choose the best answer by circling A, B, C or D (1.0pt)
Rachel Carson was born in 1907 in Springsdale, Pennsylvania. She studied biology at college and zoology at Johns Hopkins University, where she received her master’s degree in 1933. In 1936, she was hired by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, where she worked most of her life.
Carson’s first book, Under the Sea Wind, was published in 1941. It received excellent reviews, but sales were poor until it was reissued in 1952. In that year she published The Sea Around Us, which provided a fascinating look beneath the ocean’s surface, emphasizing human history as well as geology and marine biology. Her imagery and language had a poetic quality. Carson’s first book, Under the Sea Wind, was published in 1941. It received excellent reviews, but sales were poor until it was reissued in 1952. In that year she published The Sea Around Us, which provided a fascinating look beneath the ocean’s surface, emphasizing human history as well as geology and marine biology. Her imagery and language had a poetic quality. Carson consulted no less than 1,000 printed sources. She had voluminous correspondence and frequent discussions with experts in the field. However, she always realized the limitations of her non technical readers.
In 1962, Carson published Silent Spring, a book that sparked considerable controversy. It proved how much harm was done by the uncontrolled, reckless use of insecticides. She detailed how they poison the food supply of animals, kill birds and fish, and contaminate human food. At the time, spokesmen for the chemical industry mounted personal attacks against Carson and issued propagan
