Questions 6-10: Read the following passage and then circle the
best answer Snake Lovers
Around the world there are men and women who make their living
in unusual ways. Most of us would not do such jobs for a day, let
alone pursue them as a lifelong career. However, the lifespan of
these people may not be that long. They spend their days working
with snakes.
Boonreung Bauchan is listed in the book of Guinness World
Records for his feat of spending seven days in a pen filled with
snakes. This Thai snake charmer performed with his pet snakes to
earn money to support his family. During his performances, he
danced with snakes, held them around his body, and even kissed
them. One day, a cobra kissed him back. He died before he reached
the hospital. Although he left behind several boxes of pet snakes,
no one in his family was bold enough to touch them. Instead of
carrying on with the snake shows, they decided to donate the snakes
to the zoo.
In Australia, John Cann carries on his familys tradition of
reptile shows. His parents started their snake circus in 1919.
Cann's mother was called Cleopatra after the queen of Egypt who was
lethally bitten by a snake. Both parents survived their profession
and retired in good health. Their son has made good use of his
lifelong experience with snakes. He now advises the Australia
Museum on reptiles and has written several books on snakes and
turtles. His goal is not only to entertain, but also to educate his
audience on the value of these reptiles and their important role in
the environment.
In India, Romulus Whitaker doesnt charm snakes or entertain his
audience, but he is an active educator and environmentalist. He
caught his first snake when he was just three. Now he is the
director of the Madras Crocodile Bank and advises major
international organizations on protecting the habitat of reptiles.
Whitaker may be in need of protection himself. He has been bitten
three times, but he doesnt blame the snakes. He says hes more
afraid of people than of snakes. 6. What is this passage mainly
about?
A. Snake shows B. The dangers of snakes C. Snakes in different
countries D. People working with snakes and other reptiles

Jeanne Dixon Jeanne Dixon began making predictions when she was
a little girl. She had a crystal ball that
she used to look into the future. She correctly predicted
several events, including the death of her grandfather. She also
learned to use astrology. When she was just eight years old, a palm
reader told her fortune. The palm reader said that Jeanne would
become famous for her unique ability to predict the future.
Dixon made many predictions about the future throughout her
life, but the one that brought her the most fame was her prediction
of the assassination of President Kennedy. In 1952, she had a
vision. She saw a man with blue eyes living in the White House. He
was going to die a violent death. Eight years later, John Kennedy,
a man with blue eyes, became president of the United States. On
November 22nd, 1963, Jeanne told her friends, Something terrible is
going to happen today. Then, they heard an announcement. President
Kennedy had been shot.
Another of Dixons major predictions was the death of President
Kennedys brother Robert. One day, she was walking through a hotel
in Los Angeles. Suddenly, she stopped and said, Robert Kennedy is
going to be killed here. Soon after that, in June 1968, Robert
Kennedy was shot in that exact place.
Dixon accurately predicted the deaths of several other
celebrities. She also predicted other kinds of events, for example,
a big earthquake in Alaska in 1964. She made a number of wrong
predictions as well, but people dont seem to remember as many of
these.
Dixon didnt keep any fees she earned from making predictions.
She donated all the money to a charity that supported educational
and health projects for children. She was a vegetarian and often
prepared healthy food for elderly people. She also liked to help
animals and took care of many lost cats and dogs.
Jeanne Dixon died in 1997, but she left behind several
predictions which could still come true. One of them is that
intelligent life will be discovered on another planet. 6. What is
this passage mainly about?
A. Using astrology B. A famous palm reader C. Assassinations of
famous people D. A woman who predicted the future
7. Who predicted Jeanne Dixons future? A. An astrologer B. A
palm reader C. A crystal ball reader D. Jeannes grandfather
23. What happened in 1968? A. John Kennedy lived in the White
House. B. There was an earthquake in Alaska. C. President Kennedys
brother was killed. D. Jeanne Dixon started

Question 6-10 Read the following passage and then circle the
best answer A, B,C, or D
Wong Tai Sin Temple Wong Tai Sin Temple, with its colorful
architecture and peaceful gardens, sits among the high-rise
buildings of Hong Kong. It is one of the more popular places to
visit in the city. It is especially known for the fortune-tellers
that work there. People visit the temple to honor Wong Tai Sin, a
shepherd who lived hundreds of years ago. According to legend, at
the age of fifteen he learned the secret of making a medicine that
could cure all illnesses. He lived alone for forty years while he
worked to perfect this magic medicine. Nowadays, visitors to the
temple bring flowers and incense as offerings for Wong Tai Sin.
They pray for good health and for good luck in business. Most of
all, they pray for guidance for the future. This is because Wong
Tai Sin was known not only for his ability to cure illnesses, but
also for his skill at correctly predicting the future. The temple
has the largest concentration of fortune-tellers in Asia. There can
be as many as 150 fortune-tellers working there at any one time.
The most common fortune-telling method at the temple is the use of
fortune sticks, called chim. Each chim has a number on it. You
shake a container of sticks until one falls out. Then, you take the
stick to a fortune- teller, who will interpret it for you. If you
want to try something different, there are other fortune-telling
methods to choose from. For a small fee, a fortune-teller will read
your face or palm, consult the ancient book, the I Ching, or use
astrology to predict your future. Wong Tai Sin Temple is known for
its brightly colored buildings decorated with beautiful paintings
and intricate carvings. It also contains the Good Wish Garden with
a stream, waterfall, and ponds. If you want to know your future, or
just want to enjoy a few moments of the present in a beautiful
spot, visit Wong Tai Sin Temple. 6. What is this passage mainly

Question 6-10 Read the following passage and then circle the
best answer A, B,C, or D
Tea Leaves The art of predicting the future with tea leaves has
been practiced in both Asia and Europe
for centuries. Its not hard to try doing it yourself. First,
brew yourself a cup of tea. You can use any kind of loose tea, but
its best to drink it
from a wide, white cup. This makes it easy to see the leaves.
Relax and enjoy your tea. Drink it all, but leave a spoonful at the
bottom of the cup. Now pick up the cup and move it three times from
right to left. Turn it upside down over a saucer to let the liquid
drain out. Turn it right side up again, and now you are ready to
read the leaves.
When you interpret the leaves, pay attention to their position
in the cup. Leaves near the top represent the near future, while
leaves near the bottom represent the distant future. Leaves near
the cups handle represent yourself or your home. The images in the
leaves arent always distinct, but if you look carefully, some
pictures will appear.
Both birds and airplanes mean that you will make a journey.
Birds also represent good luck. A cross or a snake, on the other
hand, means that bad luck will come your way. A baby means that you
will have small worries. Ladders and stars mean that you will reach
your dream. Apples mean the same.
If you need money, look for a diamond, but be careful of clouds.
Diamonds mean that you will receive money unexpectedly, but clouds
mean that you will have financial problems. If you are looking for
love, maybe you will see a moon or a cage in the leaves. A moon
represents romance, and a cage represents marriage.
Both trees and books are lucky symbols. Trees represent good
health and long life, and an open book means good news. Eyeglasses
mean that good and surprising things will happen.
Everybody likes to relax with a steaming cup of fragrant tea,
but it can be more than just a delicious drink. After youve enjoyed
your tea, dont throw away the leaves until youve read your future.
6. What is this passage mainly about?
A. Looking for love B. How to have a tea party C. Predicting the
future in a tea cup D. Fortune-telling around the world
7. Which leaves represent your home? A. Leaves near the handle
of the cup B. Leaves near the bottom of the cup C. Leaves near the
top of the cup D. Leaves on the cups saucer
8. Which image means that you will reach your dreams? A.
Diamonds B. Airplanes C. Apples D. Babies
9. What could clouds mean? A. Someone in your home has financial
worries.
B. You might lose something in the distant future. C. You will
have money problems soon. D. You will never find love. 10. What
does appear mean in paragraph 3?

PART 2: Question 6-10 Read the following passage and then circle
the best answer A, B,C, or D
Pompeii The ancient Roman town of Pompeii sat at the foot of the
giant volcano Vesuvius in
southern Italy. The town and the volcano had lived peacefully
side by side for years. Pompeiis citizens lived a good life. Their
town was a wealthy port and a popular resort. Many rich Romans had
their vacation homes there. The theaters, shops, and temples were
filled with activity. All this ended on August 24th in the year 79
A.D.
At about noon on August 24th, a great cloud of ash and rocks
spewed out of the top of Vesuvius, ascending 20 kilometers into the
air. The ash and rocks began to rain down on the citizens of
Pompeii and other nearby towns. Soon, the roofs of Pompeii were
covered with a layer of volcanic material that was about three
meters thick. Buildings started collapsing under the heavy weight.
By this time, people had already started escaping from the town.
Taking what possessions they could and calling fearfully to their
loved ones to join them, they escaped to the countryside, as far
from the town as they could go. By evening, most of the residents
had left Pompeii.
But Vesuvius hadnt finished yet. All night long, it continued to
spew rock and ash high into the air. The next morning, steaming
lava poured out of the volcano and rolled down its sides toward
Pompeii. The lava buried the town in a layer so deep that only the
tops of the very tallest buildings could be seen. Later, some
people returned to the town to try to dig their possessions out of
the hardened lava, but of course no one could live there any more.
The buried town lay abandoned for hundreds of years.
In 1748, the long-forgotten town was rediscovered. Since then, a
number of excavations have been made uncovering a great deal of
information about ancient Roman life. Architecture, art, and other
examples of Roman culture were all perfectly preserved by the lava.
Excavators have also uncovered the bodies of about 2,000 Pompeii
citizens who, unable to escape the rushing wave of lava, became
frozen in it forever.
6. What is this passage mainly about? A. The ancient Roman
Empire B. The last days of Pompeii C. The volcanoes of Rome D. The
excavation of an ancient town 7. At about what time of day did
Vesuvius begin to erupt? A. Early in the morning B. 12:00 noon C.
Late in the afternoon D. At night 8. What happened in 1748? A.
Pompeii was rediscovered. B. Vesuvius erupted again. C. A museum of
Roman art was opened D. Pompeiis citizens returned to their homes.

B. It was a boring place to visit.

Question 6-10 Read the following passage and then circle the
best answer A, B,C, or D
The Great Molasses Flood Molasses, a sweet syrup made from
sugarcane, is used in baking. Theres an old saying as
slow as molasses in January because cold molasses becomes very
thick and doesnt pour easily. This was proven to be an inaccurate
description in January of 1919, when a giant wave of molasses
rushed through the streets of Boston at a speed of almost 60
kilometers an hour. It caused a disaster that could have been
avoided. It was brought about by the stupidity of one man.
A Boston company built a huge molasses storage tank. The tank
was over 1 6 meters tall and 30 meters wide. When it was finished,
no one tested the tank to see if it leaked. Millions of liters of
the sticky, sweet liquid were added to the tank. It did leak.
Rather than fix the leaks, the man in charge painted the tank
brown, the color of molasses, so the leaks were not so evident.
Just after noon on January 15th, people in the area heard a loud
cracking noise followed by a muffled roar. The leaking storage tank
had exploded, sending a ten-meter-high wave of molasses flowing
through the nearby streets. It wrecked everything in its path
-peoples homes, warehouses, even part of the local train line. It
tossed wagons, horses, and furniture into the air. Several people
and animals were drowned by the swiftly moving wave of syrup. All
in all, 21 people, 12 horses, and one cat were killed, and 150
people were injured.
The molasses was almost a meter deep in the streets around the
storage tank. Rescue work was nearly impossible because rescuers
couldnt walk through the sticky stuff. It sucked the shoes right
off their feet. Molasses filled the cellars of neighborhood houses,
and it took months to pump it out. The streets and buildings had to
be washed with salt water because fresh water couldnt remove the
stuff. As a result of the flood and ensuing clean up, Boston Harbor
was dark brown for six months. To this day, some people claim that
on a hot day they can still smell molasses in the neighborhood.
6. What is this passage mainly about? A. A disaster in Boston B.
Clean up of Boston Harbor C. Different ways to use molasses D. The
history of a molasses company
7. Why did the man paint the storage tank brown? A. Brown was
his favorite color. B. He had many extra liters of brown paint. C.
He didnt want to fix the leaks in the tank. D. A paint company gave
him free brown paint.
8.. How fast did the wave of molasses move? A. Ten meters an

Sixty kilometers an hour

Question 6-10 Read the following passage and then circle the
best answer A, B,C, or D
Chinese White Dolphins When one thinks of the colorful creatures
of the sea, dolphins are not usually the first to
come to mind. Though they are born dark gray like other
dolphins, Chinese white dolphins become pink by the time they reach
maturity. There are a number of theories about why they change
color over time. Some biologists believe it is because the dolphins
eat shellfish. Others say it is their blood showing through their
skin, similar to humans when we blush. Their rarity has led Chinese
white dolphins to become both a tourist attraction and an
endangered species.
Despite the damage that has been done to the western waters of
Hong Kong, they are still the preferred habitat of the Chinese
white dolphin. The construction of Hong Kongs Chep Lap Kok Airport
in the late 1990s caused a great deal of stress for the local
dolphins. Their population dropped from a mere 400 or so to less
than 100. While the airport was under construction, boat traffic
increased, the water became polluted, and the noise disrupted the
dolphins ability to navigate and communicate. Most of the baby
dolphins that were born during the construction of this airport did
not survive. Since so few of these dolphins reach the age of
reproduction, the species is in danger of extinction.
People come from near and far to watch the playful behavior of
these rare dolphins, which perform like acrobats in their natural
environment. In a move known as breeching, a dolphin jumps right
out of the water, flopping back in with a gigantic splash. Though
they appear to be playing, dolphins may breech in order to scare
off predators, or simply to scratch an itch. Tourists also love to
spot Chinese white dolphins that are spy hopping. With this trick,
dolphins come halfway out of the water in order to snoop around.
The curiosity of humans and dolphins combined, however, creates
various dangers for these rare animals. Humans in their boats get
too close to the dolphins. Many dolphins are injured or killed by
fishing gear and boat engines. 6. What is this passage mainly
about?
A. Dolphin tricks B. Colors of dolphins C. Dangers for dolphins
D. A rare and interesting dolphin
7. Why are Chinese white dolphins pink? A. They eat shellfish.
B. They blush. C. Their blood is very bright. D. Nobody knows for
sure.
8. What was a result of construction in the waters near Hong
Kong? A. The dolphins had difficulty communicating. B. The dolphins
disrupted work on the airport.
C. The dolphins found another place to live. D. The dolphins
stopped having babies
9. Why might dolphins sometimes get close to tourists? A. The
dolphins are hungry. B. The dolphins are curious. C. The dolphins
want to be scratched. D. The dolphins like the sound of boat
engines.
10. What does dropped mean paragraph 2? A. left out B. got
smaller C. collapsed form being exhausted D. let fall from the
hand

The Dating Supermarket
-
Copied by Anhkwon9999
60
Although Paris is often considered the city of romance, close to
a million adults who call it home are single. Many single people
say that France's capital is one of the most difficult places to
meet people. The complaints of this lonely group have inspired a
new phenomenon known as "supermarket dating". At Galerie Lafayette
Gourmet, singles can shop for more than just the items on their
grocery list. They can look for someone who has blue eyes, brown
hair, and is 1.8 meters tall, or whatever may be on their romantic
shopping list.
At this Paris location, single people of all ages can schedule
their shopping for Thursday nights between 6:30 an 9:30 P.M. When
they walk through the door, they pick up a purple basket to
advertise that they are looking for love. They try to arrive early
because the baskets disappear quickly, and then they have to wait
in line for their turn to wander the store aisles. With purple
baskets in hand, shoppers can consider their romantic options while
they pick out their groceries. When they are ready to pay, they can
go to the checkout line that is especially for singles who want to
chat.
Most of the people who look for love in the supermarket are
skeptical of Internet dating. They know that it is too easy to
embellish one's appearance or to lie about one's age over the
Internet. The supermarket, on the other hand, is considered a safe
and casual environment in which to meet a potential match. In
addition, what one finds in another's grocery basket can say a
thing or two about that person's character or intentions. Buying
pet food can be a man's way of showing a potential match that he
has a sensitive side. Women who fill their baskets with low fat
food show their healthy style of living. These days it's possible
to find much more than food at a grocery store. 6. What is this
passage mainly about?
A. Grocery shopping B. The best stores in Paris C. A place to
meet potential dates D. The disadvantages to Internet dating
7. What is Galerie Lafayette Gourmet? A. A Singles club B. A
beauty salon C. A grocery store D. A dating service
8. What do shoppers at Galerie Lafayette Gourmet use purple
baskets to do? A. To show that they want a date B. To hold a lot of
groceries C. To look fashionable D. To get a discount
9. According to the passage, why do people look for love in the
supermarket? A. Because all the shoppers are good - looking B.
Because dating services are too expensive C. Because it's safer
than Internet dating D. Because it's very convenient

David Beckham
-
Copied by Anhkwon9999
69
Soccer fans are crazy about their favorite teams. They are even
wilder about their favorite players. One of the most popular soccer
players in the world is David Beckham. He is so famous that even
people who dont follow soccer know his name. Beckham became a
celebrity because he is one of a kind. He has talent, passion, and
a distinct image that people cant get enough of.
David Beckham has always had a passion for soccer (or football,
as it is known in his country, England). As a boy, he dreamed about
playing for Manchester United. In 1991, his wish came true when he
qualified for Uniteds junior team. Beckhams team won the Football
Association Youth Cup in his first season. The next year, when he
was only 18 years old, he became a professional player. By
outshining the other players on his team, Beckham landed the role
of team captain. Fans and teammates were amazed by how well he took
penalty kicks and how far he could kick the ball. Scoring a goal
from the halfway line proved that he deserved to be the
highest-paid soccer player in the world. Changing teams from
Manchester United to Real Madrid only heightened Beckhams
popularity.
One of the reasons people love David Beckham is because he is
not afraid to show his true self. Appearing in public in a sarong
or with painted nails does not seem to faze him. While many
celebrities try to hide from the media, Beckham loves to experiment
with fashion in the public eye. His hair and fashion styles have
set trends all over the world. After the 2002 World Cup, there were
blond Mohawks throughout Korea. When Beckham shaved off half of an
eyebrow, many young people did the same thing. In Japan, one
company made a three-meter-high chocolate statue of Beckham and
convinced him to be their spokesperson. There are other sides to
Beckhams personality, too. Many fans love the fact that he is also
a dedicated father: he and his wife, Victoria, have three
children.
