A young man was getting ready to graduate from college. For many months he had admired a
beautiful sports car in a dealer’s showroom and knowing his father could well afford it, he told him
that was all he wanted. As graduation day approached, the young man awaited for signs that his
father had purchased the car.
Finally, during the morning of his graduation, his father called him into a room. His father told
him how proud he was to have such a fine son and told him how much he loved him. He handed his
son a beautifully wrapped gift box. Curious, but somewhat disappointed, the young man opened the
box and found a lovely, leather-bound book, with the young man’s name embossed in gold. That
was his favorite book. Yet, he was still angry. He shouted at his father and said, “With all your
money, you only give me this book?” he left the room, ignoring his father’s present.
Many years passed and the young man had become very successful in business. He had a
beautiful house and a wonderful family, but realized his father now was getting old and thought
perhaps he should visit him. He had not seen him since graduation day. Before he could make the
visit, he received a telegram telling him his father had passed away and willed all of his possessions
to his son. He needed to be home immediately, to take care of things.
When he arrived at his father’s house, sudden sadness and regret filled his heart. He began to search
through his father’s important papers and saw the still-wrapped book, just as he had left it years
ago. With tears, he opened the book and began to turn the pages. He read page by page, chapter by
chapter. As he continued sitting through the book, a car key fell out the back of the book. It had a
tag with the dealer’s name, the same dealer who had the sports car he had wanted. On the tag was
the date of his graduation and the words PAID IN FULL.

Glasses—also called eyeglasses (formal), spectacles, or specs (informal)—are frames bearing
lenses worn in front of the eyes, normally for vision correction or eye protection. Safety glasses are
kind of eye protection against flying debris or against visible and near visible light or radiation.
Sunglasses allow better vision in bright daylight, and may protect against damage from high levels
of ultraviolet light. Other types of glasses may be used for viewing visual information (such as
stereoscope) or simply just for aesthetic or fashion values.
Historical types of glasses include the pincenez, monocle, lorgnette, and scissors or scissors-
glasses.
Modern glasses are typically supported by pads on the bridge of the nose and by temple arms
(sides) placed over the ears. CR-39 lenses are the most common plastic lenses due to their low
weight, high scratch resistance, low dispersion, and low transparency to ultraviolet and infrared
radiation. Polycarbonate and Trivex lenses are the lightest and most shatter-resistant, making them
the best for impact protection.
An unpopular aspect of glasses is their inconvenience. Even through the creation of light
frames such as those made of titanium, very flexible frames and new lens materials and optical
coatings, glasses can still cause problems during rigorous sport, Visibility can be significantly
reduced by becoming greasy, trapping vapour when eating hot food, swimming, walking in rain or
rapid temperature changes (such as walking into a warm building from cold temperature outside).
Scraping, fracturing, or breakage of the lenses require time—consuming and costly professional
repair, though modern plastic lenses are almost indestructible and very scratch—resistant.

24. What is the writer’s intention with the text?

A. To give report on the spectacles’ production
B. To explain how to select safety glasses
C. To give description about glasses.
D. To describe the variety of lenses
E. To suggest to wear light fram

25. What is one good point of CR – 39 lenses?

A. It is cheap.
B. It is the lightest.
C. It is not easily scratched.
D. Infrared cannot get through it.
E. Ultraviolet cannot get through it.

26. Paragraph 3 is about … while paragraph 4 is about ….

A. the glasses material - flexible frame
B. plastic lenses – the bad impact of titanium
C. pads on the bridge of the nose – energetic sports
D. the part of modern glasses – the convenience of modern lenses

And sore must be the storm-

Yet – never – in Extremity,
It asked a crumb – of me.

Water nourishes our bodies

BE WATER HERO AND BE WATER WISE FACTS

PART OF THE SOLUTION
When we take care of our water,
it takes care of us.
There are many ways to conserve
and protect our water on a daily
basis, like :
 Think water efficient when
you buy products like
washing machines,
dishwashers, fridges,
irrigation systems, taps and
toilets.
 Shower under a “low flow”
showerhead
 Replace your toilet with a
“low flow” model.
Choose one that uses 6 litres or
less per flush.
 Reduce or eliminate the use of
paints, fertilizers and
pesticides in your home and
garden and never pour them
down the drain
 Use an efficient method like
drip irrigation to water your
plants
Water nourishes our bodies .
In B.C., we use about 490 litres
average per person per day, and
the Canadian average is 330 litres
per person per day.
Dripping taps are a major cause of
wasted water and can also cause
water damage in the home. Fixing
a dripping tap can save up to 300
litres of quality BC drinking water
per week.
Toilets account for 30% of indoor
water use.
The average garden hose pours
out 20 litres a minute.
Less than 3% of municipally-
treated water is actually used for
drinking. The rest goes down the
drain or toilet, or on our garden.

The Things We Don’t Do
By Anders Neuman
Translated by Nick Caistor and Lorenza Garcia

This is the first of Neuman’s short story collections to be translated into English. A varied
collection dealing with the break-down of relationships, the decision to end a life and making
friends with old enemies. What powerfully strikes the reader is the beauty of its translation.
Language springs from the page vitally and each word finds its place in the story.
The little story is wonderfully short, each line adding to the creation of the world in which
two lovers constantly make plans that never come to fruition. It is in these private hopes and
dreams, these ‘hypothetical languages’ where the narrator finds the key which defines love.
Elsewhere in the collection, Neuman teasingly looks at the art of translation itself, viewing it as
a chain in which meaning is lost, then rediscovered in The Poem Translating machine.
What sustains throughout the book is the skill with which the very best short fiction
writers are endowed; the ability to twist these amusing stories into dark mystery with the turn of
a phrase. In Mr. President’s Hotel we begin with an obscure message in a hotel guest book and
end with a character lurking in our peripheral vision, controlling the President’s every move.
The Things We Don’t Do is an entertaining and profound collection which makes the readers
consider the world in a new light.

34. The storybook is interesting because ….

A. This is the first Neuman’s short story collection to be translated into English
B. Nick Caistor and Lorenza Garcia translated the stories with beautiful words.
C. Neuman told and turned long held enemies into friends with beautiful words.
D. The title story is wonderfully short, so it is simple and understandable.
E. Neuman is a famous short story writer.

35. What is the purpose of the text?

A. To criticize a person
B. To describe how stories are collected
C. To analyze a collection of short stories
D. To give a recommendation on story worthy read
E. To inform about the importance of reading stories

36. What is one of the story themes?

A. Decision to live eternally.
B. Having a good relationship.
C. Making friends with old enemies.
D. Understanding what friends are for.
E. Realizing that having an enemy is harmful.

41. Where did Mr Williams and Ms Luke meet initially?

Read this text and answer the questions that follow.

The number of serious crimes has increased in the past of few years. Most of these crimes are
committed for economic and social reasons. What can justice do to reduce them? Some people
think that judges should give stricter sentences to criminals. Is really true?
Those who agree with stricter sentences argue that more and more criminals are no longer
afraid of being punished. They know that prisons are overcrowded and that most of them will be
released early for good behavior. Therefore, justice should be more consistent and give stricter
sentences which will immediately frighten criminals.
On the other hand, other people think that lots of crimes are committed because of poverty and
unemployment. Delinquency cannot be cured by stricter sentences. Some people need to be
directly helped in their lives at school, work and in the family.
Furthermore, harder and longer punishment may be more affective to show criminals that they
have done something wrong and will maybe keep them from doing the same thing.
However, the more important thing is that we can do a lot for criminals, both during and after
their time in prison. We have to educate them about what is right and wrong and make them
understand. Then, we have to look after them even after they have left prison. Give them a job and
somewhere to live. These can possibly prevent them from doing crimes again.
In conclusion, a stricter sentence together with more work to make them more functional in
today’s society is a better solution to reduce crimes.

Questions :
42. What is the main idea of paragraph 2?
43. Why do some people think that criminals should be given stricter sentences?
44. What tense is mostly used in the text above. Find out 4 sentences in different patterns both
nominal and verbal ones taken from the text.

I'll buy you a diamond ring my friend if it makes you feel alright
I'll get you anything my friend if it makes you feel alright
Cos I don't care too much for money, and money can't buy me love

I don't care too much for money, money can't buy me love

Can't buy me love, everybody tells me so

Can't buy me love, no no no, no

Say you don't need no diamond ring and I'll be satisfied

Tell me that you want the kind of thing that money just can't buy
I don't care too much for money, money can't buy me love
Owww…
