Read the following passage and choose the best option.
Impressionism in painting developed in the late nineteenth century in France. It began with a loosely structured group of painters who
got together mainly to exhibit their paintings. Their art was characterized by the attempt to depict light and movement by using pure
broken colour. The movement began with four friends who met in a cafe: Monel, Renoir, Sisley and Brazill. They were reacting
against the academic standards of their time and the romantic emphasis on emotion as a subject matter. They rejected the role of
imagination in art. Instead, they observed nature closely, painting with a scientific interest in visual phenomena. Their subject matter
was as diverse as their personalities.
Monet and Sisley painted landscapes with changing effects of light, and Renoir painted idealized women and childen. The works of
impresionists were received with hostility until the 1920s. By the 1930s impressionism had a large cult following, and by the 1950s
even the least important works by people associated with the movement commanded enormous prices.

Read the following passage and choose the best answer to each question.
People commonly complain that they never have enough time to accomplish tasks. The hours and minutes seem to slip away before
many planned chores get done. According to time management experts, the main reason for this is that most people fail to set priorities
about what to do first. They get tied down by trivial, time consuming matters and never complete the important ones.
One simple solution often used by those at the top is to keep lists of tasks to be accomplished daily. These lists order jobs from most
essential to least essential and are checked regularly through the day to assess progress. Not only is this an effective way to manage
time, but also it serves to give individuals a much deserved sense of satisfaction over their achievements. People who do not keep lists
often face the end of the work day with uncertainty over the significance of their accomplishments, which over time can contribute to
serious problems in mental and physical health.

Hatred is a fundamental human emotion that has deep root in society and culture. Psychologists believe that group identity and
cohesion depend to a large extent on having a common enemy. It seems that the existence of "bad guys" is an important element in
defining who we are within a large realm. It could be said that human beings love to hate.
The first signs appear early in life when a child, faced with blame for some mistake, immediately accuses another child or an inanimate
object such as a teddy bear. Later, on the schoolyard playground, children in rival groups compete for attention and influence. These
basic responses translate into more powerful emotions later in life.
One area where deep-rooted hatred is exhibited is in the ethnic fights that constantly occur around the globe. These conflicts are not
only over territory but also involve emotional issues of group identity and unity of purpose. For many, there is no "us" without a "them"
to hate. In a word, where conflict between super powers is on the decline, it may be that humanity will have difficulty adapting to a
state of mutual respect and cooperation.

With the onset of the winter season, man's natural enemies, the common cold and the flu, arrive with full force. It seems that the
fluctuations in temperature and weather are guarantees that coughs and sneezes will spread inflecting germs among family and friends.
More than 100 different types of bacteria can cause a cold, and doctors sometimes use antibiotics to treat bacterial colds. However,
there are an equal number of viruses that can cause influenza, and modern science offers no drug capable of curing vital infections. In
most cases, the best advice is the usual prescription: get plenty of rest, drink a lot of fluids, and be prepared to suffer for three to ten
days.
Some home cures help to relieve the symptoms of colds and flu. Mother's chicken soup, rich in fats and oils, helps to revitalize a tired
body and to soothe a sorethroat. Garlic, containing the active ingredient allicin, has long been used to fight off the effects of bacteria
and viruses. Hot toddies consisting of small amounts of liquor mixed with honey, sugar and lemon juice can relieve soreness and draw
out cold germs.
Finally, recent evidence suggests that large doses of vitamin C not only boost the immune system before a cold arrives, but also relieve
cold symptoms after they have set in.

It is often said that books are always a good friends and reading is an active mental process. Unlike TV, books make you use your brain. By
reading, you think more and become smarter. Reading improves concentration and focus. Reading books takes brain power. It requires you
to focus on what you are reading for long periods. Unlike magazines, Internet posts or e-Mails that might contain small pieces of
information.
Books tell the whole story. Since you must concentrate in order to read, you will get better at concentration. Many studies show if you do
not use your memory; you lose it. Reading helps you stretch your memory muscles. Reading requires remembering details, facts and figures
and in literature, plot lines, themes and characters.
Reading is a good way to improve your vocabulary. Do you remember that when you were at elementary school you learned how to infer
the meaning of one word by reading the context of the other words in the sentence? While reading books, especially challenging ones, you
will find yourself exposed to many new words.
Reading is a fundamental skill builder. Every good course has a matching book to go with it. Why? Because books help clarify difficult
subjects. Books provide information that goes deeper than just classroom discussions. By reading more books you become better informed
and more of an expert on the topics you read about. This expertise translates into higher self-esteem. Since you are so
well-read, people look to you for answers. Your feelings about yourself can only get better.
Books give you knowledge of other cultures and places. The more information you have got, the richer your knowledge is. Books can
expand your horizons by letting you see what other cities and countries have to offer before you visit them.

Read the following passage and choose the best answer to each question
Reading, as you know, is a continuous and never ending process. If you do very little reading, or if you read only material that offers no
challenge to your comprehension, your reading will be of very little use. Once we reach a certain age, or once our formal schooling is
completed, many of us become so restricted in our choice of reading that we rarely read any new type of reading experience. We tend to
read only books in our professional or business field, or only inspirational books, or only our favorite newspapers every morning, or only
one magazine for which we have developed a preference. And the trouble starts here. You should neither read only for entertainment nor
only for information but you should also read for intellectual growth, for mental stimulation, for enriching your background of knowledge,
for wisdom, and for broader outlook and mature understanding. What kind of books should you read to continue your intellectual growth, to
gain a background for opinion and for judgment? The answer is simple one: Read books in fields you have little or no acquaintance with,
books that will open for you new horizons of learning, books that will help you explore new areas of knowledge and experience, books that
will make the world and people more understandable to you. Sadly, more and more people today are giving up the printed word in favor of
being entertained and informed by watching TV, a popular entertainment device present at almost homes. More and more children are being
subjected to TV programming, perhaps as a babysitter. More than two hours of TV time per day are now a part of children development,
generating physiological and mental problems that are of growing concern among experts.

On Monday, May 12, 2008 a violent earthquake, measuring 8.0 on the Richter scale, happened in southwestern China's Sichuan
Province. Hundreds of aftershocks followed in the area. The earthquake destroyed thousands buildings, roads, schools and hospitals, as
well as infrastructure like communication networks and electrical towers. Thousands of people died or are missing, and more than 45
million people were affected by the earthquake, which has been the worst natural disaster to hit China for 30 years.
The American Red Cross has contributed $20 million to support the relief and recovery efforts of the Red Cross Society of China.
These funds will be used to assist survivors through the purchase and distribution of relief supplies, coordination of logistics and
transportation of disaster workers to the hardest hit areas. The American Red Cross has also sent relief experts to the affected area to
help monitor and coordinate the response efforts. On June 6, the American Red Cross co-hosted a forum to address the U.S. response
and recovery efforts following the earthquake. More than 30 representatives from humanitarian organizations, the business companies
and the government participated in the event.
More than 35,000 staff and volunteers with the Red Cross Society of China responded to the disaster by distributing food, water, tents
and other essential items. The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies are providing 100,000 tents to help
those in need.
The Red Cross Society of China is a very strong organization with extensive experience responding to disasters. The American Red
Cross has long history of working with the Red Cross Society of China, going to back to famines in 1906 and including severe storms
earlier this year. There has been a close contact between the Red Cross Society of China and the International Federation of Red Cross
and Red Crescent Societies, and they have been ready to provide additional support such as disaster workers, relief supplies or
financial assistance. Concerned family and friends in the United States may have difficulty contacting their loved ones because
telecommunication has been out of work by this disaster. If they are trying to reach relatives living in China or those who are citizens
of China, the American Red Cross suggests them keep calling or try contacting other family members who live nearby.

A desert is a hostile, potentially deadly environment for unprepared humans. In hot deserts, high temperatures cause rapid loss of water
due to sweating, and the absence of water sources with which to replenish it can result in dehydration and death within a few days. In
addition, unprotected humans are also at risk from heatstroke.
Humans may also have to adapt to sandstorms in some deserts, not just in their adverse effects on respiratory systems and eyes, but
also in their potentially harmful effects on equipment such as filters, vehicles and communication equipment. Sandstorms can last for
hours, sometimes even days.
Despite this, some cultures have made hot deserts 'their home for thousands of years, including the Bedouin, Tuareg tribe, and Pueblo
people. Modern technology, including advanced irrigation systems, desalinization and air conditioning, has made deserts much more
hospitable. In the United States and Israel for example, desert farming has found extensive use.
In cold deserts, hypothermia and frostbite are the chief hazards, as well as dehydration in the absence of a source of heat to melt ice for
drinking. Falling through pack-ice or surface ice layers into freezing water is a particular danger requiring emergency action to prevent
rapid hypothermia. Starvation is also a hazard; in low temperatures the body requires much more food energy to maintain body heat
and to move. As with hot deserts, some people such as the Inuit have adapted to the harsh conditions of cold deserts.

Rock Band
Two years ago, our 14-year-old son, Ben, asked us for a set of drums for his birthday. At first, we were very much against the idea
because of the noise. 'It's better than watching television or playing computer games in my free time,' Ben argued, 'and it'll keep me out
of trouble.' In the end we gave in. 'All right,' we said, 'but you must consider the rest of the family and the neighbours when you play.'
That was just the beginning. Because drums are not the easiest instruments to transport, the other members of Ben's band started
appearing at out home with their guitars and other electrical instruments. And so, for several hours a week, the house shakes to the
noise of their instruments and their teenage singing.
At least Ben's hobby has been good for our health: whenever the band start practising, my husband and I go out for a long walk. And I
must admit that, although their music may sound a little strange, they are a friendly and polite group of young men. I cannot judge their
musical skill - after all I didn't expect my parents' generation to like the same music as I did when I was a teenager - but they do play
regularly in local clubs for young people. Our main worry is that they won't spend enough time on their school work because of their
musical activities, though this hasn't happened yet. I am always stressing to Ben how important his studies are. But one thing is certain
- Ben was right: it has kept him out of trouble and he is never bored.

Craigie Aitchision"
The painter Craighe Aitchison was born in Scotland. He came to London intending to study law, but went to art school instead. There
he found the traditional drawing classes difficult, but still kept on painting. In his late twenties he was given money by the Italian
government to study art, and became interested in early Italian artists, which show in some of his work. He loved the greens and
browns of Italian fields and the clear light there, and wanted to put this light into his paintings. This led him to paint colours thinly one
on top of another from light to dark, but he insists he's never sure the results will be. He says, 'It's a secret - because I don't know
myself. I don't start by painting yellow, knowing I'm going to put anything on top. ' Like most talented people, Aitchision makes it
sound easy. ' Anyone can do the colours - you
can buy them. I simply notice what you put the colours next to.' Unlike some artists, he never does drawings before he starts a painting,
as he feels that if he did, he might get bored and not do the painting afterwards. Instead, Aitchison changes his paintings many times
before they are finished. This explains why his favourite models are people who don't ask to see their pictures while he's painting
them. 'If I feel they're worried and want to look at the painting, I can't do it''. Since moving to London years ago, he has not felt part of
the Scottish painting scene. He says he is not interested in following any tradition, but just paints the way he can. However, his work
still influences young British painters.

The young achiever of the year
Kal Kaur Rai has always been interested in fashion and has just won the title of Young Achiever of the year at the Asian Business Awards. Ever
since she was a child, she has drawn clothes and designed patterns. She never told her hard-working parents, who own a supermarket, that she
wanted to turn her hobby into a career. She thought they expected her to go into a more established business, so she went to university to do a
management degree. After university, she moved to London and worked in an advertising agency. She had to attend industry events but couldn't
afford the designer clothes she liked. She started making skirts and tops for herself. When her friends saw her clothes, they asked her to make
things for them. She then found a small shop in London willing to take her designs on a sale or return basis. They were very popular and nothing
came back. This encouraged her to leave her advertising job , take out a £20,000 loan and begin her own women-wear label.
Kal's parents were not angry about her career change and said they would support her, which really pleased her. Her clothes are now on sale in
over 70 stores and her business has an income of over £500,000. Her clothes appear in fashion magazines, she designs for pop stars and she has
just gained public recognition by winning this award. Her business has come a long way and she knows she is extremely lucky. 'What I do is my
hobby - and I get paid for it! But remember, I've worked hard for this.'

Being an older student
At 32, I have just finished my first year at university. As well as attending lectures regularly, I have had to learn to read books quickly
and write long essays. I decided to go to university after fourteen years away from the classroom. As a secretary, although I was
earning a reasonable amount of money. I was bored doing something where I hardly had to think. I became more and more depressed
by the idea that I was stuck in the job. I was jealous of the students at the local university, who looked happy, carefree and full of hope,
and part of something that I wanted to explore further. However, now that I've actually become a student I find it hard to mix with
younger colleagues. They are always mistaking me for a lecturer because, although we are the same age, I know so much less than
them. But I am glad of this opportunity to study because I know you need a qualification to get a rewarding job, which is really
important to me. Unlike most eighteen-year-olds, I much prefer a weekend with my books to one out partying. Then there are the
normal student benefits of long holidays and theatre and cinema discounts. I often have doubts about what I'll do after university, but I
hope that continuing my education at this late date has been a wise choice.

If nobody in the United Kingdom smoked, what would happen to your pocket book? Everyone in the UK would be richer. The diseases connected
to smoking are a big problem . Doctors think that the annual medical cost for lung cancer, heart disease, and other illnesses connected to smoking
is between 12 and 35 million pounds. And smoking cost society money in other ways, between 27 and 61 billions pounds are spent each year:
1. on sick days (when people don't go to work)
2. on wages that you don't get when you don't go to work, and
3. on work lost at the company when you are sick.
This money counts the wages from people who die of cancer at young age and stop paying taxes. This does not count fire started by cigarettes
which kill fifteen hundreds people yearly and injure another four thousand. Smoking costs every man, woman and child in the UK from one
hundred and ten to two hundred and fifty pounds each year in the lost work and wages. When you add another fifty to one hundred and fifty
pounds yearly in insurance cost, that comes from one hundred and sixty to four hundred and ten pounds. If everyone
stopped smoking, a family of four could have up to one thousand six hundred and forty pounds a year or more. Of course smoking is not going to
stop overnight.
And NOT smoking will also cause problems, because people who don't smoke will live longer, and so they will take money from the government
when they are old. But they will also work for more years and pay more taxes. In the end , the value of a non-smoking nation is not in pounds.

Last week I went to visit Atlantic College, an excellent private college in Wales. Unusually, it gives young people much needed
experience of life outside the classroom, as well as the opportunity to study for their exams, The students, who are aged between 16
and 18 and come from all over the world, spend the morning studying. In the afternoon they go out and do a really useful activity, such
as helping on the farm, looking after people with learning difficulties, or checking for pollution in rivers. One of the great things about
Atlantic College students is that they come from many different social backgrounds and countries. As few can afford the fees of
£20,000 over two years, grants are available. A quarter of the students are British and many of those can only attend because they
receive government help. 'I really admire the college for trying to encourage international understanding among young people', as
Barbara Molenkamp, a student from the Netherlands, said, 'You learn to live with people and respect them, even the ones you don't
like. During the summer holidays my mother couldn't believe how much less I argued with my sister.'
To sum up, Atlantic College gives its students an excellent education, using methods which really seem to work.

For thousands of years, the ancient art form of Feng Shui has played a major role in Chinese life. Feng Shui means “wind and water”
and it is based on an appreciation of the relationship between people and the environment. It involves changing the design of your
living or working space to improve your fortune.
For instance, soon after a Hong Kong millionaire moved his business to a new skyscraper, his business began to do very badly. He
immediately called in Feng Shui experts. They told him that because his new office block was round, it was like a huge cigarette, and
all the energy was burning off through the roof. They said that the only thing he could do to prevent this loss of energy was to build a
swimming pool on the roof. The millionaire followed their advice, and his business immediately started to do well.
In recent years, Feng Shui has become popular in many western countries, where companies such as B&Q have started to seek advice
from Feng Shui experts. Before his store was opened, Brian Ingliss, the manager of one of B&Q's stores in Britain, consulted a Feng
Shui expert. The expert advised him to create a lot of free space around the store. Brian followed the advice, and within a year, the
store was the most successful B&Q store in the country.

Sometimes you know things about people the first time you see them, for example, that you want to be friends with them or that you
don't trust them. But perhaps this kind of intuition isn't as hard to explain as it may seem.
For instance, people give out body language signals all the time. The way you hold your body, head and arms tells people about your
mood. If you hold your arms tightly at your sides, or fold them across your chest, people will generally feel that you are being
defensive. Holding your head to one side shows interest in the other, while an easy, open posture indicates that you are self-confident.
All this affects the way you feel about someone. Also, a stranger may remind you of a meeting with someone. This may be because of
something as simple as the fact that he or she is physically similar to someone who treated you well or badly. Your feelings about a
stranger could be influenced by a smell in the air that brings to mind a place where you were happy as a child. Since even a single
word can bring back a memory such as that, you may never realize it is happening.
