]DIRECTIONS: (Question No. 11 to 15) I was very fond of the old soldier in our little town.
He had only one leg, having lost the other somewhere in Assam in 1942. He used to tell me
about his adventures. He told me that he had run away from home to join the army. He had
experienced his first battle in the Libyan desert. Out of his dozens of war stories, the one I liked
best was the one of his escape from a Japanese prison-of-war camp in Burma. He told me again
and again how he walked two hundred miles in two weeks. On the way he was bitten on the toe
by a poisonous snake and he had to cut off part of the toe in order to survive. But by the time he
got to an Indian camp the wound had turned septic and the leg had to be amputated. He is,

DIRECTIONS: (Question No. 21 to 24) Colours can affect us in many different ways,
according to Verity Allen. In her new series Colour me Healthy, Verity looks at the ways in
which colours can influence how hard we work and the choices we make. They can change our
emotions and even influence our health. Have you ever noticed how people always use the same
colours for the same things? says Verity. Our toothpaste is almost always white or blue. Its
never green. Why not? For some reason we think that blue and white is clean, while we think of
green products as being a bit disgusting. Its the same for businesses. We respect a company
which writes its name in blue or black, but we dont respect one that uses pink or orange. People
who design new products can use these ideas to influence what we buy.
During this four-part series, Verity studies eight different colours, two colours in each
programme. She meets people who work in all aspects of the colour industry, from people who
design food packets, to people who name the colours of lipsticks. Some of the
people she meets clearly have very little scientific knowledge to support their ideas, such as the
American Colour Doctor who believes that serious diseases can be cured by the use of
coloured lights. However, she also interviews real scientists who are studying the effects of
green and red lights on mice, with some surprising results.
Overall, its an interesting show, and anyone who watches it will probably find something new.
Verity goes out of her way to be polite to everyone she meets on the series. It is of course up to
the viewers to make their own decisions about how much they should believe.
21. What is the writer doing in this text?
(1) Giving information about how colours influence us (2) Reporting what happens in a new
television series
(3) Giving information about a television presenter (4) Giving his/her opinion on a recent

(1) It can help you to choose the best products. (2) It can give you new ideas.
