*Read the passage then answer the questions that follow: from (1-4)
Most of Nasraddin's neighbors were pleasant people, who were always ready to help each
other when they were in trouble; but there was one woman who lived in his street who was disliked
by everybody because she was always interfering in other people's business, and because she was
always borrowing things from people and then forgetting to give them back. Early one morning
Nasraddin heard a knock in his front door, and when he opened it, found this woman outside. "Good
morning Nasraddin" she said "I have to take some things to my sister's house in the town today, and I
have not got a donkey, as you know. Will you lend me yours? I will bring it back this evening" "I am
sorry" answered Nasraddin. "If my donkey was here, I would of course lend it to you very willingly,
but it is not," "Oh?" said the woman. "It was here last night, because I saw it behind your house.
Where is it now?" "My wife took it into town early this morning" answered Nasraddin. Just then the
donkey brayed loudly. "You aren’t telling me the truth, Nasraddin!" the woman said angrily. "I can
hear your donkey. You should be ashamed of yourself, telling lies to a neighbor!" You are the one

Elementary Examination

Tom lived with his parents until he was twenty-one years old, and then he got a job in a big
company in another town, so he left home. He found a comfortable little flat which had two rooms, a
small kitchen and a bathroom, and he lived them in his own. At first he cleaned it himself, but he
didn’t want to go on doing this, so he decided to tell someone else to do it. He asked a lot of his
fellow workers in the factory what they did about this, and at last one of the men said "Oh, Mrs.
Roper comes and cleans my flat regularly. She washes the dishes, irons my shirts and keeps the place
neat and tidy. She does her best but she hasn’t got much energy. "Well, you'd better ask her to come
and see me" said Tom. So the next evening she came to see him, and she agreed with pleasure. After
she had been working for Tom for two weeks, he looked at the mirror in his bed room and thought
"that mirror looks very dusty. Mrs. Roper has forgotten to clean it. With his finger he wrote a massage
on the dust. "I am coughing wherever I breathe because everything in this room is very dusty". He
came home at 7:30 and went to his bedroom and found a bottle in front of the mirror. "I didn’t put
