Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate
the correct answer to each of the questions
The relationship between Britain and the US has always been a close one. Like all close
relationships it has had difficult times. The US was first a British colony, but between 1775 and 1783
the US fought a war to become independent. The US fought the British again in the War of 1812.
In general, however, the two countries have felt closer to each other than to any other country,
and their foreign policies have shown this. During World War I and World War II, and more recently in
the Gulf War and the Iraq War, Britain and the US supported each other. When the US looks for
foreign support, Britain is usually the first country to come forward and it is sometimes called ‘the
51st state of the union’.
But the special relationship that developed after 1945 is not explained only by shared political
interests. An important reason for the friendship is that the people of the two countries are very
similar. They share the same language and enjoy each other’s literature, films and television. Many
Americans have British ancestors, or relatives still living in Britain. The US government and political
system is based on Britain’s, and there are many Anglo-American businesses operating on both sides
of the Atlantic. In Britain some people are worried about the extent of US influence, and there is some
jealousy of its current power. The special relationship was strong in the early 1980s when Margaret
Thatcher was Prime Minister in Britain and Ronald Reagan was President of the US.

Hamams, or bath houses, are a traditional part of Turkish culture. They represent an important
piece of Turkey's long history and serve as a window into the past. However, these bath houses are
quickly disappearing because of the changing habits of the Turkish people.
Hamams hold a strong place in the history of Turkey and many date back hundreds of years.
Traditionally, all kinds of people went to hamams because Islam has srict laws for cleanness.
Believers must wash themselves regularly, particularly before their daily prayers. As most people in
Turkey didn’t have access to running water in their homes, the hamam was the perfect to get clean,
relax, and catch up with friends.
Today, however, the tradition of going to the hamam is quickly dying out for many young people.
Now almost everyone has running, the tradition of going to the hamam is quickly dying out for many
young people. Now almost everyone has running water in their bathroom, so they prefer to bathe at
home. As a result, Turkish people are not going to hamams as often as they used to. These days,
instead of relying on locals, many hamams are trying to attract foreign tourists.
Some of the best hamams in Turkey are located in Istanbul, the country’s largest city. The
Cagaloglu hamams is a great example. It was a gift to the people from the Sultan in 1741 and is one
of the last old hamams to be built during the Ottoman Empire. Many visitors are impressed by the
high domed ceilings, marble floors, and marble walls used throughout.
A typical session at a hamam can last well over an hour. Visitors will be welcomed into camekcm,
or entrance hall. There they will be able to relax with friends and chat over a cup of tea. They will be
able to change into the customary pestemal, or Turkish towel, which wraps around the waist like a
skirt. When ready, visitors will head into hararet, or hot room. There they will lie on the hot floor and
be scrubbed clean and massaged by one of the in-house masseurs or masseuses. Men and women
always bathe separately, but their experiences are very similar.
Although many hamams are in danger of closing, they will always remain a part of Turkish
culture. An experience in one of Istanbul’s famous bath houses is not to be missed on any visit to
Turkey. It will certainly leave you refreshed, relaxed, and squeaky clean for your next adventure.
