PART III: READING COMPREHENSION

A.Read the text carefully then choose the best answer for each question below:
There are many different kinds of sports that are undertaken by a wide variety of different people. Some people do sport for their
career and other people purely do sport for enjoyment and recreation. Some sports, like cricket, require the use of a lot of
equipment, while others need very little in order to successfully play a game in that sport. Some people use public playing fields
to play sport for free, while other sports such as squash, tennis, badminton and table tennis are usually paid for on an hourly basis
in the comfort of a local leisure centre. Most sports are played with a round object often known as a ball. Some sports use more
than one ball and snooker is one of the unique sports that make use of a number of balls while being played. The game itself is
often controlled by an impartial individual known as an umpire in cricket and a referee in sports like football and rugby. Most

cricket can be five days in duration before a winner is announced. Some people prefer to watch sport. This can either be done by
going to a stadium, a local leisure centre, park or on the television. It is often cheaper to watch sport from the comfort of a
