 Read the following passage the choose the best answer.

Elizabeth Blackwell was born in England in 1821, and emigrated to New York City when she
was ten years old. One day she decided that she wanted to become a doctor. That was nearly
impossible for a woman in the middle of the nineteenth century. After writing many letters
seeking admission to medical school, she was finally accepted by a doctor in Philadelphia. So
determined was she taught at school and gave music lessons to earn money for her tuition.
In 1849, after graduation from medical school, she decided to further her education in Paris. She
wanted to be a surgeon, but a serious eye infection forced her to abandon the idea.
Upon returning to the U.S, she found it difficult to start her own practice because she was a
woman. By 1857, Elizabeth and her sister, also a doctor along with another female doctor,
managed to open a new hospital, the first for women and children. Besides being the first
physician and founding her own hospital, she also established the first medical school for
women.

c. she ran a business. d. both a and b R
3) What main obstacle almost destroyed Elizabeth’s chances for becoming a doctor?

c. she couldn’t graduated from medical school
d. she couldn’t establish her hospital
4) How many years elapsed between her graduation from medical school and the

5) All of the following are “firsts” in the life of Elizabeth Blackwell, EXCEPT

Let children learn to judge their own work. A child learning to talk does not learn by being corrected
all the time: if corrected too much, he will stop talking. He notices a thousand times a day the
difference between the language he uses and the language those around him use. Bit by bit, he
makes the necessary changes to make his language like other people’s. in the same way, children
learning to do all the other things they learn to do without being taught- to walk, run, climb, whistle,
ride a bicycle- compare their own performances with those of more skilled people, and slowly make
the needed changes. But in school, we never give the child a chance to find out his mistakes for
himself, let alone correct them. We do it all for him. We act as if we thought that we would never
notice a mistake unless it was pointed out to him, or correct it unless he was made to. Soon he
becomes dependent on the teacher. Let him do it himself. Let him work out, with the help of other
children if he wants it, what this word says, what the answer is to that problem, whether this is a
good way of saying or doing this or not.
If it is a matter or right answer, as it may be in mathematics or science, give him the answer book.
Let him correct his own papers. Why should we teachers waste time on such routine work? Our job
should be to help the child when he tells us that he can’t find the way to get the right answer. Let’s
end all this nonsense of grades, exams, marks. Let us throw them all out, and let the children learn
what all educated persons must some day learn, how to measure their own understanding, how to
know what they know or do not know.
Let them get on with this job in the way that seems most sensible to them, with our help as school
teachers if they ask for it. The idea that there is a body of knowledge to be learnt at school and used
for the rest of one’s life is nonsense in a world as complicated and rapidly changing as ours.
Anxious parents and teachers say, “But suppose they fail to learn something essential, something
they will need to get on in the world?” Don’t worry!” if it is essential, they will go out into the world
and learn it.
1. what does the author think is the best way for children to learn things?
by making mistakes and having them corrected.

The planet Earth is 4,600 million years old. It is difficult for us to think about such an enormous
length of time because it has little meaning for us. We can, however, simplify the idea to make it
more understandable. We can compare the planet Earth to a person of forty- six years of age.
Nothing is known about the first seven years of this person’s life. Very little information exits about
the middle period either. It was only at the age of forty- two that the earth began to flower.
Dinosaurs and great reptiles did not appear until one year ago, when the planet was forty-five.
Mammals only arrive eight month old. In the middle of last week, man like apes became ape-like
men and began to communicate with each other. Last weekend, the Ice Age covered the Earth.
Modern man has only been around for four hours. During the last hour man discovered agriculture.
The Industrial Revolution and the rise of large cities began just sixty seconds ago.
During that short time, modern man has made a rubbish tip of the Earth. In one minute, he has
increased his numbers to terrible proportions and has caused the death of hundreds of species of
animals. He has robbed and destroyed the planet in his search for fuels. Now he stands, like a
violent, spoiled child, delighted at the speed of his rise to power, on the edge of the final mass
destruction and of killing all the life which exists in the solar system.

Tampa, Florida, owns a great deal of its growth and prosperity to a Cuban cigar manufacturer named

I am often asked whether we will do anything about the taxes we all have to pay. Of course, what
people mean is that they don’t want to pay so much. But I have to ask in return which services they
would like to lose. For we can not expect to have modern hospitals, well-kept roads, good schools or
attractive parks if we are not prepared to pay for these things. Our children do not think that schools
and colleges are only for the sons and daughters of the rich, as once they were. More and more of us
are living longer and longer. We all feel that we should be able to see a doctor when we need to. Old
people should not suffer because we are afraid of the doctor’s bill. In our society, we are proud of
the fact that no one is asked whether they can pay the bill before they are allowed into a hospital.
But if we want to continue to provide for all the needs of our society, we must remember that
nothing in life is free. My party does not promise to cut taxes immediately. But we do promise to
continue all the services that our taxes pay for, and we hope that we will manage things so well that
after a short time some taxes may be reduced.

5. one of these people shares the same ideas as the writer. Whose idea is it?
a. The trouble with people nowadays is that they all want something for nothing. They think they
should be able to get whatever they want. But they don’t realise that some one is going to have to
pay for it in the end. R
b. I just don’t know where I’m going to find the money I need. There’s so much to pay for.
c. I know I ought to go and see the doctor. But I don’t think I can afford it. I know he will tell me
to buy some medicine, but I just haven’t got the money.
d. what the government ought to do is give people control of their own money. If we didn’t have
to pay taxes we’d be able to afford to pay all our own bills.
Although the composition and role of the board of directors of a company will vary from one
organization to the next, a few generations may be made. As regards the composition of the board,
customarily some directors are prominent men and women selected to give prestige to the group.
Other are usually chosen from among retired executives of the organization for their specialized
knowledge of the company.
It is generally true that, as long as the top management maintains the confidence of the board of
directors, the directors will not actively intervene to dictate specific policies. This is the same
administrative procedure usually followed by the board of trustees of a college or university, and
similar in many respects to the parliamentary system of ministerial responsibility practised in Great

The Hopi are part of the Pueblo Indian culture. Today they live mostly in northern Arizona, at the
edge of the Painted Desert. Something that sets the Hopi off from others cultures is that it is in
some senses a maternal rather a paternal culture.
The Hopi are divided into clans, or families, along maternal lines and as a result, a child becomes a
member of the mother’s clan rather than the father’s. in addition, ownership of property, such as
land and houses, passes from mother to daughter instead of from father to son, as it does in other.
Native American cultures. However, women do not have all the power of this culture. Societal
authority still rests in the hands of men, but that authority does pass to men from their mothers.

It is a characteristic of human nature that people like to get together and have fun, and people live
during America’s frontier days were no expectation. However, because life was hard and the
necessities of day to day living took up their time, it was common for recreation to be combined
with activities necessary survival.
One example of such a form of recreation was logrolling. Many frontier area were heavily wooded,
and in order to settle an area it was necessary to remove the trees. A settler could cut down the tree
alone, but help was needed to move the cut trees. After a settler had cut a bunch of trees, he would
then invite his neighbors over for a logrolling.
A logrolling is a community event where families got together for a combination of work and fun.
The women would bring food and have a much needed and infrequent opportunity to relax and chat
with friends, the children would play together exuberantly, and the men would hold lively
competitions that involved rolling logs from place to place as quickly as possible. This was a day of
fun for everyone involved, but as its foundation was the need to clear the land.

The Romantic poets in nine-tenth century Britain prided themselves on their rejection of many of the
traditional practices of English poetry. William Wordsworth, one of the leaders of the romantic
movement, wished to avoid what he considered the emotional insincerity and affection characteristic
of much earlier poetry; instead he attempted to achieve spontaneity and naturalness of expression in
her verse. According to Wordsworth, a poet should be “a man speaking to men” rather than a
detached observer delivering pronouncements from an ivory tower. John Keats, Wordsworth’s
younger contemporary, brought a similar attitude to his poetry. Keats tried to make even the
structure of his sentences seem unpremeditated. “if poetry,” he claimed “comes not as naturally as
the leaves to a tree, it had better not come at all”

Before a join session of Congress in January in 1918, President Woodrow Wilson outlined his plan
for a post-World War I peace settlement. Known as the Fourteen Points, Wilson’s plan is best
remembered for its first point, which declared that international diplomacy should be conducted in
the open and that quiet, unpublicized diplomacy should be made illegal. Wilson believed that public
diplomacy would end the threat of war by preventing immoral national leaders from secretly
plotting aggressive actions against others.
Although Wilson was a highly intelligent and well-meaning man, he lacked insight into the
complexities of international policies. Contrary to Wilson’s belief, war rarely results from the
behind the scene plotting of unscrupulous national leaders. Rather, was usually sterms from
unresolved disagreements among nations disagreements over territory, access to the resources, and
so forth. Even if quiet, diplomacy could be eliminated, these disagreements would still remain, as
