Exercise 4. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to
each of the questions.
1. Theresa May, the second female Britain's prime minister following Margaret Thatcher, revealed in 2013 that
she had been given a diagnosis of Type 1 diabetes, a condition that requires daily insulin injections. Asked later
how she felt about the diagnosis, she said her approach to it was the same as toward everything in her life:
“Just get on and deal with it.” That kind of steeliness brought her to center stage in the aftermath of Britain's
vote to leave the European Union and the feuding that erupted in the Conservative Party over who would
succeed David Cameron.
2. Ms. May, 59 years old, is the country's longest-serving home secretary in half a century, with a reputation for
seriousness, hardwork and above all, determination. She is one of a growing number of women in traditionally
male-dominated British politics rising to the upper position of leadership. Born in 1956, Ms. May grew up mainly
in Oxfordshire, an only child who was first drawn to the Conservative Party at age 12. As a conscientious
student, she never rebelled against her religious upbringing and remains a regular churchgoer. Tellingly, her
sports hero was Geoffrey Boycott, a solid, stubborn cricketer who specialized in playing the long game.
3. Like many other Britain's prime minister including Tony Blair, Sir Robert Peel and Margaret Thatcher, she won
a place at Oxford. But while almost every other political leader got there by way of Eton College and joined
Oxford's hedonistic Bullingdon Club, she attended a state secondary school and had a more sedate university
career. After unsuccessful attempts to be elected to the House of Commons in 1992 and 1994, she finally
became an MP in 1997 general election.
4. May is known for a love of fashion and in particular distinctive shoes. She even wore leopard-print shoes to
her final Cabinet meeting as Home Secretary in early 2016. However, she has been quite critical of the media
focusing on her fashion instead of her achievement as a politician. May also describes cooking and walking as
primary hobbies, and if someone is raising questions about why walking can be classified as a hobby, she
elaborates in a column for Balance magazine, in which she wrote of her battle with diabetes.
1. According to the passage, who is the prime minister coming before Theresa May?
A. Tony Blair B. Margaret Thatcher C. Sir Robert Peel D. David Cameron
2. The most prominent characteristic of Theresa May is ____.
A. stubbornness B. seriousness C. determination D. hard work
3. Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A. British political life is conventionally controlled mainly by men.
B. The number of women in politics is increasing.
C. Conservative Party didn't have to discuss about who would be the next prime minister.
D. Theresa May's toughness was one of the reasons for the Party to choose her for the prime minister position.
4. Which of the following facts is TRUE about Theresa May?
A. She graduated from Eton College. B. As a child, she was quite rebellious.
C. She didn't work part time as a university student. D. She used not to be a home secretary.

Exercise 5. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to
each of the questions.
1. Born on June 30, 1985 in Baltimore, Maryland, to Fred and Debbie Phelps, the youngest of three children,
Michael Phelps and his sisters grew up in the neighbourhood of Rodger Forge. His father, Fred, a former
all-rounded athlete, was a state trooper and his mother Debbie was a middle-school principal. When Phelps's
parents divorced in 1994, he and his siblings lived with their mother, with whom Michael grew very close. Even
at the age of 7, Phelps was still a little scared to put his head under water, so his instructors allowed him to float
around on his back. Not surprisingly, despite the fact that later he is very good at butterfly swimming, the first
stroke he mastered was not the easily-practised breaststroke but the backstroke.
2. At the age of 15, Phelps became the youngest American male swimmer to compete at an Olympic Games in
68 years. While he didn't win any medals at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, Australia, he would soon
become a major force in competitive swimming.
3. In the spring of 2001, Phelps set the world record in the 200-meter butterfly, becoming the youngest male
swimmer in history at the age of 15 years and 9 months. At the 2001 World Championships in Japan, he then
broke his own record with a time of 1:54:58, earning his first international medal. In 2002, Phelps continued to
establish several records including the 100-meter butterfly and the 200-meter individual medley. The following
year, at the same event, he broke his own world record in the 400-meter individual medley with a time of
4:09.09.
4. After the London Olympics in 2012, Phelps announced he was retiring from his sport. However, at the 2016
Olympic Games, he came out of retirement and returned to professional competition. This was also the event
which he won one silver and five gold medals, becoming the oldest individual gold medalist in Olympic
swimming history, as well as the first swimmer to win four consecutive golds in the same event, the 200-meter
individual medley.
1. Phelps's father used to be a comprehensive ____.
A. principal B. trooper C. athlete D. instructor

A. 200-meter butterfly B. 100-meter butterfly C. 200-meter individual D. 400-meter individual
