D. Read the passage below and answer the questions that follow. Encircle the letter of your answer.
Traveling is fun because you can see how people in other parts of the world live. One thing
travelers don't often think about before traveling is how other cultures bathe. And bathrooms in
many countries may be different from the kind you are used to.
In the United States, most people take a shower once a day in the morning. The showerhead is
usually mounted on the wall and cannot be moved. The bather simply stands under the water,
gets wet, scrubs with soap and often a washcloth, and then rinses off.
Children often take a bath each night and enjoy playing with small toys such as boats and rubber
ducks. Many adults, especially women, enjoy a soothing bath to get rid of stress at the end of the
day.
It is important to remember that when you take a shower or bath in the United States, you should
be careful to keep the water inside the bathtub or shower. Unlike bathrooms in many countries,
there is no drain in the floor. If water gets on the floor it cannot go anywhere and must be cleaned
up with a towel or mop. It can also cause problems for the floor. So be careful.

Some friends come into our lives for just a short time. Others come and stay forever. Think
about your closest friends. How long have you known each other? Some people say that
their spouse or family member is their best friend. Others say they have known their closest
friends for many years. And some great friends haven't known each other all that long, but
knew right away that there was a connection, or bond, between them. Could it be that there
is a twin spirit out there for each of us?
What turns a stranger or acquaintance into a friend? Do you know right away if you are
going to like someone? Some people think that any stranger can become a friend if they
spend enough time together. That may be true for some people. But one thing most of us
agree on is that true friendships seem to happen when people have something in common.
Perhaps we see a part of ourselves in our friends. Maybe seeing the good in them helps us
to see the good in us as well.
Canadian author Lucy Maud Montgomery wrote Anne of Green Gables in 1908.
It’s the story of an orphan girl, Anne, who goes to live with Marilla and Matthew
Cuthbert in their house called Green Gables. In this selection, a neighbor has entered
the backyard of Green Gables.
Chapter I. Mrs. Rachel Lynde is Surprised
With this Mrs. Rachel stepped out of the lane into the backyard of Green Gables.
Very green and neat and precise was that yard, set about on one side with great
patriarchal willows and the other with prim Lombardies. Not a stray stick nor stone
was to be seen, for Mrs. Rachel would have seen it if there had been. Privately she
was of the opinion that Marilla Cuthbert swept that yard over as often as she swept
her house. One could have eaten a meal off the ground without over overflowing the
proverbial peck of dirt.

THE JUDGEMENT OF PARIS was a contest between the three most beautiful goddesses of Olympus--
Aphrodite, Hera , and Athena--for the prize of a golden apple addressed to "the fairest"
The story begins at the Wedding of Peleus and Thetis to which all of the gods were invited, all except Eris, the
goddess of discord. When she appeared at the festivities, she was turned away, and in her anger cast a golden
apple amongst the assembled goddesses addressed "To the Fairest." Three goddesses laid claim to the apple--
Aphrodite, Hera and Athena. Zeus was asked to mediate and he commanded Hermes to lead the three goddesses
to Paris of Troy to decide the issue. The three goddesses appearing before the shepherd prince, each offering
him gifts for favor. He chose Aphrodite, swayed by her promise to bestow upon him Helene, the most beautiful
woman, for wife. The subsequent abduction of Helene led directly to the Trojan War and the fall of the city.
