 PART 2
There are ten questions in this part. Read the information about a Hospital that will be closed to
decide if each of the statements is correct or incorrect. If it is correct, click on box T. If it is not
correct, click on box F.
Hospital to close
Shock announcement
The Regional Health Department has announced that the local hospital will be closed in
two years-time.
Local area
The hospital was built in 1935 to serve this small town and the villages and farms in the
area. Ten years ago the Regional Health Department sug¬gested closing the hospi¬tal,
but local people fought the idea so hard that the hospital was allowed to stay open.
Money
Since then a lot of money has been given by people who use the hospi¬tal in order to
keep the building and equipment in good condition.
Patients speak out
Our reporter asked a number of patients what they felt:
'It's particularly important for us older people who live in the vil¬lages. We haven't got
cars to drive all the way to the city hospital to see a specialist - it's fifty miles - you can't
get there and back on the bus in one day.'
'Look, I've got a car so I can get to the city and back. The problem is that I'm going to
lose a day's wages while I do it. The local hospital may be small, but it's here, and I can be
in and out in an hour.'
Family feelings
'When my grand¬mother was dying, she was very ill for a long time. We could visit her
every day because she was near us. The nurses were wonderfully kind. They're all part of a
small team, so they knew all the family and were very helpful to us. It was a bad time, but
if the hospital wasn't there, we wouldn't have had the equipment to nurse her at home,
so she'd have been far away, not seeing us often, that would have been much worse.'
Top specialists.
It is said that it is not possible for top specialists to work at such a small hospital, but in
fact there are specialists who come to the hospital every week. When asked about the
cost of this, Dr. A. Chan told our reporter, 'It saves time and money for one specialist to
travel 100 miles instead of asking 20 patients to travel the same distance to see the
specialist in the city . . .'
1. The local hospital was nearly closed ten years ago.
o F
o T
2. The government has had to spend a lot of money to repair the local hospital.
o T
o F
3. Local patients can go to see the doctor in the city hospital and back by bus in one day.
o T
o F
4. Old people will find it hard to go to the city hospital.

o F
o T
5. Working people think the local hospital is unnecessary.
o T
o F
6. Local people prefer to nurse dying relatives in their own homes.
o T
o F
7. The nurses at the local hospital make difficulties for patients' families.
o F
o T
8. Some specialists visit the local hospital regularly.
o T
o F
9. Dr. Chan believes it would be better to see all the patients at the city hospital.
o F
o T
10. Dr. Chan said that it saved more time and money for one specialist to travel to the
local hospital than 20 patients to travel the same distance to the city hospital.
o F
o T
 PART 3
The are five questions in this part. Read the text and questions below. For each question, click on
the correct letter A, B, C or D for your answer.
Parents whose children show a special interest in a particular sport have a difficult
decision to make about their children's careers. Should they allow their children to train
to become top sportsmen and women? For many children it means that starting very
young and school work, going out with friends and other interests have to take second
place. It's very difficult to explain to a young child why he or she has to train for five hours
a day, even at the weekend, when most of his or her friends are playing. Another problem
is of course money. In many countries money for' training is available from the
government for the very best young sportsmen and women. If this help cannot be given
it means that it is the parents who have to find the time and the money to support their
child's development - and sports clothes, transport to competitions, special equipment
etc. can all be very expensive. Many parents are understandably worried that it is
dangerous to start serious training in a sport at an early age. Some doctors agree that
young muscles may be damaged by training before they are properly developed.
Professional trainers, however, believe that it is only by starting young that you can reach
the top as a successful sports person. What is clear is that very few people do reach the
top and both parents and children should be prepared for failure even after many years
of training.
1. What is the difficulty of the parents whose children are very interested in a particular
sport?
o A. to choose the type of sport for their children.
o B. to choose school for their children.
o C. to choose sports clothes for their children.

o D. to choose careers for their children.
2. One of the difficulties of the parents is …….
o A. to allow their children to train to become the top.
o B. to allow their children to go out with their friends.
o C. to help their children with school work.
o D. to explain why they have to work very hard even at the weekend.
3. Another difficulty the parent have is ……
o A. that they have to find the money to support their children without the
government’s help.
o B. that how their children can become the best sportsmen and women.
o C. that they have to find good professional trainers for their children.
o D. that how they can get the government’s help.
4. What kind of help is there for some young people who do well in sports?
o A. financial help from the government.
o B. parents, doctors and professional trainers.
o C. training on the weekends.
o D. sports clothes, equipment, and travel to competitions.
5. Early training could be good because …

o A. an early start might help someone be very good in a sport.
o B. there will be less homework to do.
o C. children don't have to play on the weekends.
o D. it can prepare children for failure after years of training.
