Read the text "Class of 2000" and answer the following question:
Do you ever wonder what will become of your classmates? Can you spot who’s going to
become famous, travel the world or get a really interesting job? Colin Bacon decided to
look up some people he’d known at secondary school to find out just that.
The first person I found was Andrew. He’d always wanted to work in the music industry.
He reminded me, “As a student, I used to do DJ work at the weekends. The academic side
of university wasn’t my main priority. After graduation, I did temporary jobs before getting
into a record company as assistant to the marketing manager. I learned a lot from him and
progressed quickly. I’m now in charge of signing new bands. A typical week involves
meetings with artists and producers, and I have to stay abreast of what’s going on in the
music world. No two days are ever the same in this job and an average day can change in
an instant if you hear a new band and you realize you’re on to something big. The thrill of
that makes all the dull days worthwhile”.
Barbara was much more of a shock. She was always rather quiet at school. She explained,
“After school I got a place at Art College to do a four-year degree, but after a year I had a
change of heart and swapped to a Geography degree which I thought was more interesting.
On that course, I met up with some people who were thinking of joining the army. I
suddenly realized it was just the thing for me too. After graduation, I spent a year doing
officer training and then shadowed another officer for two months before getting my own
first commission.” She now has fifty-five soldiers under her command. “Promotion depends
on performance and time served, but I hope to have been promoted to the rank of captain in
two years’ time.”
Carl was always a patient sort, so I wasn’t surprised to find him still in the classroom. He
told me, “In my last year at school, I considered teaching as a career, but I ended up doing
two years of a medical degree instead, because that was the advice I was given at the time.
I never really felt committed to it, however, and after two years switched to Biology and
returned to my original plan. I chose a very practical training course where I spent a lot of
time in schools rather than in a lecture theatre. The advantage is that you build up a
teaching style quite quickly, but you do miss out a bit on the education theory behind it. I
now work in an inner-city secondary school and the challenge is motivating the rather
troublesome pupils to learn.”
Biggest shock of all was Diane. She was quite scruffy at school and the last person I
expected to be working as a fashion model. As she explained, “Anyone who says you
become a model just because you’re pretty is totally wrong. To be successful you need
personality, drive, maturity as well as good looks. A model’s job involves getting up early,
performing miracles in front of the camera even when you feel awful, and then staying
miles away from home because you’ve got to do it all again tomorrow. It is often
exhausting. It’s glamorous enough if you make it to the top, but most don’t. Fortunately,
I’m building up the experience necessary to start my own agency because modelling is not
something you can do forever”.
And finally, I tracked down Eric. He works from home, but spends a lot of his time in the
great outdoors. As he told me, “I completed a degree in Zoology and because I’ve always
been interested in the sea, I started doing voluntary work with the Marine Conservation
Trust while I was looking for a job. It wasn’t long before I got taken on to the staff,
however, and I’m now their education officer. This involves responding to telephone
enquiries from the public and setting up courses for people who want to come and study the
seashore. I also have to do things like go round companies and try to get sponsorship for
our schemes.”

Which of Colin's classmates feels that people may have the wrong idea about his/her
job?
Select one:
a. Eric.
b. Andrew.
c. Barbara.
d. Diane.

Question text
According to the text "The Tattoos", famous people have tattoos because...
For many years tattoos were associated with sailors and soldiers, then in the 60s and 70s
with bikers and heavy metal rock stars. But today more people from all social classes are
having tattoos done and there has been a significant increase in the number of women who
have them.
Many famous people have had tattoos done too. Footballer David Beckham, and his wife,
Victoria, both have tattoos of their first son's name Brooklyn. David has one on his back
and Victoria has one on her arm. Other famous people include singers, actors and
actresses such as Robbie Williams, Britney Spears, and Angelina Jolie among others.
Tattoos have existed for more than 5.000 years. The word tattoo comes from the Polynesian
word tatau, meaning ''symbol''. In Polynesia tattoos were a sign of social status and the
transition from childhood to adult life. They became known in the West when sailors on
voyages of discovery to the Polynesian islands had tattoos done because they wanted to be
accepted by native people or because they wanted a souvenir of their voyage.
The traditional method of tattooing is to make a drawing on the skin and then trace the
lines of the final tattoo by injecting ink under the skin, using a machine with a needle.
Sounds painful? It is. But not as painful (or expensive) as having a tattoo removed! Modern
laser surgery has improved the situation, but even with this method there is no guarantee
that a tattoo can be completely removed. So a lot of people have henna tattoos, which are
not permanent. These are fine if the pure henna dye is used, but sometimes artists use
inferior dyes containing the chemical PPD, which can cause permanent skin problems.
There are also semi -permanent tattoos which can last for up to five years

Select one:
a. They think is a way to make up their bodies.
b. They are part of a new generation.
c. They want to remember someone.
d. They are fashionable.

According to the following reading MEMORIES OF MY LIFE, how old was Harold
when he had gotten retired?
Hi. My name is Harold MacKagan and I think I had had a very interesting life. I was born
in 1940, I’m 73 now and I don’t work anymore. I was in the army for 51 years. I retired
2009. I had been to so many countries that I can’t remember all of them. I’d been to
Australia six or seven times and to South Africa three times. I had also been once to Russia
but I didn’t like it at all: much too cold for me! People say that love greatest thing in life
and I agree. I had been married four times but never for more than five years. I don’t think
women really understand me!
I had never been on television, but I had been on the radio once. It was a program about
life in military about twenty years ago. I met the Prime Minister on the same day. Actually,
I had met a lot of famous people: members of the royal family, famous politicians and also
famous cinema and television personalities. However, I had never met any President
though, which is a pity. Because I had traveled a lot, I had seen a lot of wonderful things
and had also eaten and drank some stranger foods and drinks. I ate cat and rat in India
and drank something called Mirto on a little island in Italy many years ago.
