correct answer to each of the questions from 39 to 44
Package holidays, covering a two weeks' stay in an attractive location are increasingly popular,
because they offer an inclusive price with few extras. Once you get to the airport, it is up to the tour
operator to see that you get safely to your destination. Excursions, local entertainment, swimming,
sunbathing, skiing - you name it - it's all laid on for you. There is, in fact, no reason for you to bother
anything yourselves. You make friends and have a good time, but there is very little chance that you will
really get to know the local people. This is even less likely on a coach tour, when you spend almost your
entire time travelling. Of course, there are carefully scheduled stops for you to visit historic buildings
and monuments, but you will probably be allowed only a brief stay overnight in some famous city, with
a polite reminder to be up and breakfasted early in time for the coach next morning. You may visit the
beautiful, the historic, the ancient, but time is always at your elbow. There is also the added
disadvantage of being obliged to spend your holiday with a group of people you have never met before,
may not like and have no reasonable excuse for getting away from. As against this, it can be argued that
for many people, particularly the lonely or elderly, the feeling of belonging to a group, although for a
short period on holiday, is an added bonus. They can sit safely back in their seat and watch the world go
by.
39. When you go on a package holiday, you don't have to________.
A. arrange anything yourself B. pay for any extra activities
C. follow the tour schedules D. travel in an organised group

A. are unable to amuse themselves B. expect to be amused by tour operators
C. find most of their interests catered for D. are able to make friends with lots of local people
41. Which of the following statements is NOT true?

Thousands of years before Columbus came to the New World, the American Indians entered
North America by crossing a narrow strip of land that once connected Alaska and Siberia. The
migrants entered a new world in which there were no people at all. But there were many animals to
hunt, and there were forests where nuts, roots, and berries could be gathered.
When the Europeans came to the New World, the Indians, at first, taught the settlers how to plant
corn, bake fish, make canoes, and smoke tobacco. In return, the white introduced horses, guns,
gunpowder, and alcohol. But at last, there were struggles for land, and the struggles could have only
one result – war. When the wars were over, all Indians were moved to large tracts of land called
reservations. Now, some of them, embittered by mistreatment, are determined to preserve their tribal
life; some wish to modernize the reservations. These alternatives, with many variations, are what most
Indians have chosen – a future in modern technology and education, or the revival of ancient tradition
and treaties.

It is often considered that the schoolyard is where bullies go to make other kids a miserable school

students said they had been bullied in more than one way over the previous month.
The study authors mentioned that 8% of the students who answered said they had missed school at least
once during the school year because of fear of being bullied. 25% said they had taken other actions, such
as missing recess, not going to the bathroom or lunch, missing classes, or staying away from some area

A good deal of fascinating research has been done into the reading patterns of young people, and
it's surprising to discover at what an early age children start expressing preferences for particular kinds
of books. A recent report, which examined in detail the reading habit of primary school children,
showed that even seven-year-old boys and girls have clear views about what they want to read. Girls, in
general, read more, and far more girls than boys preferred reading stories. Boys were showing a taste for
the more instant appeal of picture stories, or else books about their hobbies.
These tastes continue unchanged until the children are teenagers. Apparently girls read more in general,
but more fiction in particular. You could say that there are more opportunities for girls to read fiction:
magazines encourage the fiction habit in girls in their early teens, and by their late teens, girls have
probably moved on to the adult women's magazines. Teenage boys tend to buy magazines about their
hobbies: sports, motorcycles, heavy transport and so on.
