E. READING COMPREHENSION
My aunt is one of those people who can talk to anyone about anything. If she goes to a part
where she doesn’t know any of the people, she just walks up to the first person she sees and
introduces herself. And yet she doesn’t seem to talk about deeply important things like politics or
religion. She always starts off with something very obvious like the other person’s job. Very soon
she’s talking as if she’s known the other person for years. I asked her once what her secret was. She
said that the most important thing in the conversation was listening. People love to talk about
themselves, so if you allow them to do so, it’s very easy to keep a conversation going. You have to
listen very carefully and ask questions. And you have to look interested, too. So don’t keep looking
at other things in the room while you’re talking to someone.
Another thing that I’ve noticed is that she only pays people compliments. She says: “I like
your hair. Which hairdresser do you go to?” or “You look very well. Have you been on holiday?”
Friendly messages like this seem to provide an easy way into a conversation.
1. According to my aunt, the most important thing in a conversation was _____.
A. speaking B. discussing C. looking D. listening
2. At parties where she does not know anybody, my aunt normally ______.

B. asks people to introduce themselves to her
Page-16
C. come over to the first person and introduce herself

D. sits alone and avoids talking to other people
3. My aunt thinks that it’s very easy to keep a conversation going if you _____.
A. let people talk about themselves
B. let people hear about yourself
C. talk about politics or religion
D. ask people about their secrets
4. What should you not do when you have a conversation with someone?
A. Looking very interested in his or her story.
B. Looking at other things in the room.
C. Listening very carefully and asking questions.
D. Paying him or her compliments.

Louis Braille was born in the nineteenth century. When he was three years old, a tragic
accident at his father’s workshop left him blind permanently. As a young boy, Louis was
hardworking and intelligent. His teachers suggested that he should be enrolled in the National
Institute for Blind Youths. At that time, this was the only school for the blind in France.
At the institute, Louis wanted to develop an easier reading system for the blind. His idea of
such a system came from Charles Barbier, a French army officer. Barbier had invented a system
called “Night Writing”, which was made up of dots and dashes. Soldiers used this system to
communicate with one another during the night. Louis adapted this system for his own use. He got
rid of the dashed and produced a simpler system based on dots. For example, ‘A’ is represented by a
single dot. Many students found this system much easier to use.
This came to be known as the ‘Braille’ system. Today millions of blind people are able to
read, thanks to the work of a dedicated, young blind man.

Personal computers, or PC, are an important part of our everyday lives. Many people can’t

thirty-four, Gates was the youngest billionaire in the history of the USA. He was the “King of

Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answers
In the early years of television, educational specialists believed that it would be very useful
in teaching and learning. Many schools have bought television sets, intending to use them
effectively to improve the quality of education; but actually they are rarely used properly in
classrooms. Meanwhile, children spend the majority of their out-of-school hours watching TV and
their typical school days proceed as if television did not exist.
There are some explanations for the failure of television to get the interest of the teachers.
Firstly, the schools that purchased television sets have not set aside money for equipment repairs and
maintenance so these television sets are sooner and later out of work. Secondly, these school have
not found an effective way to train teachers to integrate television into their ongoing instructional
programs. Lastly, most teachers do not regard the quality of television and its usefulness in the
classroom.
Teachers at the schools work hard for at least twelve years to train their students to become
good readers. However, according to a recent statistics, teenagers seldom spend their free time
reading books and newspapers but watching television instead.

Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answers
Last week I made the mistake of visiting the village where I grew up. It was a small,
friendly community with two farms and a number of old cottages round the village green. I realized
very quickly that although in many ways it appears unchanged, in reality hardly anything is the
same. All the pretty cottages are there, of course, and both the picturesque farmhouses. But none of
the inhabitants are country people. All of them are commuters, who leave early every morning for
the nearby town. Neither of the farmhouses is attached to a farm these days; the land has been sold
and is managed by somebody in an office somewhere who has little interest in the village itself.
There are a few new houses, but they have no local character; you can see the same style anywhere
in the country. The whole of the village, in fact, has been tidied up so much that it has become
nothing more than just another suburb.
