The reality is that everyone uses jargon. It is an essential part of the network of occupations and pursuits
which make up society. All jobs have an element of jargon, which workers learn as they
(23) their expertise. All hobbies require mastery of a jargon. Each society grouping has its
jargon. The phenomenon turns (24) to be universal and valuable. It is the jargon element, which, in a job,
can promote economy and precision and thus help make life easier for the workers.
When we have learned to command it, jargon is something we readily take (25) in
whether the subject is motorcycling, baseball or computers. It can add pace, variety and humor to speech -
as when, with an important event approaching, we might slip into the related jargon. We enjoy the mutual
showing off which stems from a fluent use of terminology, we enjoy the in-jokes (26)
shared linguistic experience permits. (27) , we are jealous of this knowledge. We are
quick to demean anyone who tries to be part of our group without being prepared to take on its jargon.
And we resent it when some other group, sensing our lack of linguistic awareness, refuses to let us in.

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 from 28 to 34.
The rules of etiquette in American restaurants depend upon a number of factors the physical location of
the restaurant, e.g., rural or urban; the type of restaurant, e.g., informal or formal; and certain standards
that are more universal. In other words, some standards of etiquette vary significantly while other
standards apply almost anywhere. Learning the proper etiquette in a particular type of restaurant in a
particular area may sometimes require instruction, but more commonly it simply requires sensitivity and
experience. For example, while it is acceptable to read a magazine in a coffee shop, it is inappropriate to
do the same in a more luxurious setting. And, if you are eating in a very rustic setting, it may be fine to
tuck your napkin into your shirt, but if you are in a sophisticated urban restaurant this behavior would
demonstrate a lack of manners. It is safe to say, however, that in virtually every restaurant it is
unacceptable to indiscriminately throw your food on the floor. The conclusion we can most likely draw
from the above is that while the types and locations of restaurants determine etiquette appropriate to them,
some rules apply to all restaurants.
Question 28: What topic is this passage primarily concerned?
A. Instruction in proper etiquette
B. Rules of etiquette
C. Variable and universal standards of etiquette
D. The importance of good manners
Question 29: According to the passage, which of the following is a universal rule of etiquette?
A. reading a magazine at a coffee shop
B. not throwing food on the floor
C. ating in rustic settings
D. tucking a napkin in your shirt
Question 30: What does the word “it” refer to?
A. learning the proper etiquette B. clear instruction
C. knowing the type of restaurant D. sensitivity
Question 31: Which of the following words is most similar to the meaning of “rustic”?
A. urban B. unsophisticated C. agricultural D. ancient
Question 32: Which of the following is closest in meaning to the word “tuck”?
A. set B. put C. fold D. hold
Question 33: The word “indiscriminately” could best be replaced by which of the following?
A. randomly B. angrily C. noisily D. destructively
Question 34: The author uses the word “draw” in line 16 to mean .
A. pick out B. drag away C. evoke D. infer

 TEACHING IN INDIA
by Elise Cooper
‘Elise in India’. That was the name of my blog last year when I took a year out between school and
university. I was lucky enough to get a teaching job abroad through an international organization. I was
going to work in a school attached to a children’s home in north-west India. There were eight of us on the
week-long introduction course in the capital, Delhi. As well as advice and ideas for teaching we were
given information about health and local customs, and learned a few essential phrases in the local
language.
Another course member, Lucy, was coming to the same school as me and we were both nervous when
we set off on the 15-hour bus ride to the children’s home. I had worked as a classroom assistant before,
but here I wouldn’t be much older than some of my pupils. How would I manage? My worries
disappeared once we reached the home. Our rooms were on the top floor above the girls’ bedrooms and
from the window we looked out across flat fields full of fruit trees and could just see the snow-covered
mountain tops in the distance.
There were 90 children in the home, aged between five and 20. In addition there were a small number
of pupils who came in each day from the area around. Although they were a little shy to start with, they
were so keen to ask us questions that we quickly became friends.
Lucy and I taught four lessons a day, mainly spelling, reading and general knowledge. We had a
textbook but since it wasn’t very exciting, we tried to make the lessons more interesting with activities
and games. This wasn’t always easy: there was a mixture of ages in each class because pupils had begun
their education at different times. Like schoolchildren everywhere, they didn’t always behave perfectly in
class. However, they used to send us notes apologizing afterwards, or thanking us for an interesting
lesson, so we didn’t really mind.
The best fun came after school, though. We spent many happy hours playing games or football or just
chatting with the children. On Friday afternoons, Lucy and I were in charge of sport, which had just been
introduced at the school. Trying to organize fifty children into cricket teams is something I’ll never
forget. Another of my memories is playing in goal for a boys’ football game. Even though Lucy and a
group of little girls joined in as extra goalkeepers, we still managed to let the other side score!
I was terribly sad to leave. I felt I had learned as much as - if not more than - my pupils from the
experience.
Question 35: How did Elise apply for the teaching post in India?
A. By contacting directly with the school
B. By posting her resume’ online
C. Through an international organization
D. Through a local organization
Question 36: According to the text, the pupils in each class that Elise taught were .
A. at the same age B. at different ages C. all older than her D. all adolescents
Question 37: Which of the following words would the author most probably use to describe her
experience in India?
A. useful B. problematic C. informative D. nonsense

A. general knowledge B. spelling C. reading D. history
