Text 3. for question number 21-23
Adam Sandler plays the roles of both Jack and Jill. I had doubts before going to see the film
as to whether the dual-role would distract you from the film, but it didn't and that aspect of it was
performed quite well.
The actual film was good and quite funny although sometimes the plot lines were not as clear
as they could have been. Jill was a very amusing character and she is everything that you would
expect a sister who is known for being annoying. She was embarrassing, annoying, rude and funny.
I think that this film is suitable for most audiences although some of scenes could upset
people who are easily offended. There are a couple of adult jokes thrown in here and there but they
are not too rude and would probably pass over young children's heads.
The film is quite interesting although it can get slightly boring at some points when a similar
joke is used again.
Overall this film is good if you want a laugh and trip out but I would not choose it over
another film. This film is quite good, but it is not as good as it had potential to be.

How to Fly a Hot Air Balloon
A hot air balloon consists of a basket, four big gas tanks, a burner and the balloon or envelope.
First, the pilot puts four nylon poles into sockets on top of the basket. Then she puts the burner on
top of the poles. Next, she connects the cables to the burner frame. The cables also go under the
basket in order to hold everything together.
After this, she connects the hoses from the full gas tanks to the burner so that she can test it.
Next, two people hold the mouth of the balloon open while it is filled with cold air from the fan
until it is quite fat and tight.
Now for the difficult bit. The pilot lies on the ground, half in the basket. She turns on the gas
burner and points the flame into the mouth of the balloon. This is so that the balloon slowly
stands up.
When the pilot is ready to go, she heats up the air in the balloon a bit more. This results in the air in
the balloon to be hot enough to get the balloon to rise off the ground.
28. How many activity does she do before she connects the hoses from the full gas tanks to the
burner?

B. 2

Smoking is a bad habit that is very hard o break. Smokers are everywhere. Many people
smoke just to socialize, but many others are too addicted to quit
A cigarette is like a toxin hypermarket. You can find many kinds of toxin in it: acetone,
carbon monoxide, tar, arsenic, ammonia, hydrogen cyanide, and toluene. The tar itself contains
more than 43 substances that can cause cancer. Scientists say that when we are smoking, we put
more than 4,000 kinds of toxic materials into our body.
However, many smokers believe that a cigarette with low tar is less dangerous. And so is a
filtered cigarette. But the problem is one cigarette is never enough for addicted smokers.
Another myth about smoking is that it cannot only make them awake but also raise their
inspiration. This is contrary to the findings of a research in California which show that smokers
ability to thinks is lower that of non-smokers.
Smoking is indeed a serious social problem in our country. The government keeps reminding
that smoking is dangerous, not only for smokers themselves, but also for other people in the
surroundings (passive smokers). But the warnings do not seem to get any response.

Text 9. for questions number 40-42
As with many insects, the glow-worms life is divided into four distinct stages: the egg, the larva
(equivalent to the caterpillar of a butterfly), the pupa and the adult. The glow-worm begins its life in
the autumn as a pale yellow egg. The freshly laid egg is extremely fragile but within a day its
surface has hardened into a shell. The egg usually takes about 35 days to hatch, but the exact time
varies according to the temperature, from about 27 days in hot weather to more than 45 days in cold
weather. By the time it is due to hatch, the glow-worms light organ is fully developed, and its glow
signals that the egg will soon hatch.
After it has left the egg, the larva slowly grows from a few millimetres into the size and shape
of the match stick. The larva stage is the only time the insect can feed. The larva devotes much of
its life to feeding and building up its food reserves so that as an adult it will be able to concentrate
all its efforts on the task of finding a mate and reproducing. Throughout its time as a larva,
approximately 15 months, the glow-worm emits a bright light. The larvas light is much fainter than
the adult females but it can still be seen more than five meters away.
In the final stage of glow-worms life, the larva encases itself in a pupal skin while it changes
from the simple larva to the more complex adult fly. When the adult fly emerges from the pupa the
male seeks a female with whom it can mate. After mating, the female lays about 120 eggs. The
adult flies have no mouth parts, can not eat and therefore only live a few days. When people talk of
seeing a glow-worm they normally mean the brightly glowing adult female.
40. How long does the glow-worms egg normally take to hatch?
A. approximately 15 months
B. About 35 days
C. About 27 days
D. About 45 days
E. As long as autumn period
