Lilly loves her new town. She loves the mall. She loves the parks. She also loves her school.
Most of all, though, Lilly loves the seasons.
In her old town, it was hot all of the time. Sometimes it is cold in Lilly's new town. The cold
season is in winter. Once in a while it snows. Lilly has never seen snow before. So for her, the
snow is exciting as well as very beautiful. Lilly has to wear gloves to keep her hands warm. She
also wears a scarf around her neck.
In spring, flowers bloom and the trees turn green with new leaves. Pollen falls on the cars and
windowsills and makes Lilly sneeze. People work in their yards and mow their grass. In summer,
Lilly wears her old shorts and sandals— the same ones she used to wear in her old town. It’s hot
outside, and dogs lie in the shade. Lilly and her friends go to a pool or play in the water
sprinkler. Her father cooks hamburgers on the grill for dinner.
Lilly’s favorite season is autumn. In autumn, the leaves on the trees turn yellow, gold, red,
and orange. Halloween comes in autumn, and this is Lilly’s favorite holiday. Every Halloween,
Lilly wears a costume. Last year she wore a mouse costume. This year she will wear a fish
costume.
One evening in autumn, Lilly and her mom are on sitting together on the porch. Mom tells
Lilly that autumn is also called “fall”. This is a good idea, Lilly thinks, because in fall all of the
leaves fall down from the trees.

Questions 33 through 35 refer to the following passage

Online Dating
It has long been seen as a less romantic way of meeting. But finding love over the internet is
a good way of meeting a marriage partner as research has shown. It found that one in five of
those who have used dating sites to find their perfect partner have gone on to marry someone
they met over the web.

The study, also revealed that more than half of the 1,504 people questioned had been on a
date with someone they met online. Sixty-two per cent agreed that it was easier to meet
someone on a dating site than in other ways, such as in a pub or club, or through friends. At the
same time, the under-35s were more likely to know someone who had been on a date or had a
long-term relationship with someone they met through online dating.

According to industry surveys, more than 22 million people visited dating websites in 2007,
and more than two million are signed up to single sites. Of the 147 couples who took part in the
study, 61 per cent, said their relationships had high levels of these three components. The
researchers also found that men were more likely to find true love on the internet than women.

Charlotte Harper, of Match.com, said: ‘We were excited to find so many of our former
members have found love. It supports our belief that the internet does in fact encourage old-
fashioned courtship’.

A lot of people have sailed, nonstop and alone, around the world, but Jessica Watson claims to be the

Questions 49 through 52 refer to the following passage.
WHAT KIND OF FRIEND ARE YOU?

This week, we take a look at different kinds of friends.

Dedicated Friends (DFs)

DFs put their friends and family first. If you have a problem, they will discuss the
situation with you and try to help you fix it. If you need money, a DF will lend it to you.
DFs don’t suddenly appear. It takes months or years for a person to become a DF. But one
thing is sure, the best way to find and keep a DF is to be a DF yourself.

Enthusiastic Friends (EFs)

EFs may not be the friends who will lend you money or help you solve your problems,
but they will show you how to get the most out of life. EFs are adventurous and want to try
everything - exotic foods, roller coasters, adventure vacations, you name it! They’re also
optimistic. They’ll get you to go camping with them, and if it rains, they’ll find other ways
to have a good time. EFs look on the bright side and get you to do the same.

Wise Friends (WFs)

WFs know your problems and the answers to them, but they will wait for you to bring
them up first. When you’re ready to discuss, WFs will listen carefully and help you find
your own solutions. If you ask them what to do and you don’t follow their advice, they
won’t bring the problem up again. Unlike DFs, WFs won’t lend you money if they think
you will have trouble paying it back or if they think you will use it for something that isn’t
good for you.

Question 49: Which kind of friends are easier to find if you are this kind of friend yourself?
A. Wise friends B. Enthusiastic friends
C. Dedicated friends D. Enthusiastic friends and wise friends
Question 50: Which of the following is TRUE about enthusiastic friends?
Page 11/14 – Paper Code: ENGL3570
 A. They will help you enjoy life more. B. They will help you solve problems.
C. They will lend you money. D. They will make you feel bad about things.
Question 51: Which of the following is TRUE about wise friends?
A. They will lend you money even if they think you can’t pay it back.
B. They won’t be interested in talking about your problems.
C. They won’t discuss your problems if you don’t mention them first.
D. They will mention the problem again although you don’t follow their advice.
Question 52: Which kind of friends are the most fun?
A. Dedicated friends and wise friends B. Wise friends
C. Dedicated friends D. Enthusiastic friends
Questions 53 through 56 refer to the following passage

A gift to remember

Are you looking for a gift that is different? Perhaps you don’t want to give your best friend or your
mum and dad the same presents as everyone else does. What can you buy that they will always
remember? Why not get them an ‘experience gift’?

The presents that people give have changed a lot in recent years and there has been a big rise in the
number of people giving ‘experience gifts’ to celebrate those special occasions. This can be a flying
lesson in a helicopter, a day on a race track, an afternoon in a hot air balloon or one of many other
experiences that companies are advertising.

These experiences are usually very exciting. An 80-year-old man celebrated his birthday by flying a
Tiger Moth, an aeroplane from the 1930s. When he landed he said, ‘That was a fantastic experience! I’ve
always wanted to go in a Tiger Moth. I never thought I could learn how to fly one. For my 90 th birthday I
want to drive a Ferrari round a race track!.

Luckily, the cost of an ‘experience gift’ always includes insurance!

Question 53: People today look for presents_____________

A. the person will like. B. the person needs.
C. they would like themselves. D. the person will remember.
Question 54: An ‘experience gift’ ___________________
A. is very expensive.
B. is a book about the person’s life.
C. is a special party.
D. is usually something the person hasn’t done before.
Question 55: You can_________________________
A. buy some very cheap ‘experience gifts’. B. buy an ‘experience gift’ from a company.
C. buy an ‘experience gift’ from a shop. D. arrange an ‘experience gift’ yourself.

Page 12/14 – Paper Code: ENGL3570

Question 56: The 80-year-old_________________-
A. went in a Tiger Moth when he was younger. B. was a passenger in the plane.
C. was scared. D. enjoyed the experience.
Questions 57 through 60 refer to the following passage.

This week three of our readers explain why they travel....

Many people travel to learn about foreign cultures and go sightseeing. Well, for me, there’s a
more important reason. I used to travel with friends, but lately I prefer traveling alone. When I
traveled with my friends, we were always compromising. I prefer camping, but they always had to
stay in nice hotels. I like getting up early, but they preferred to sleep late. I work hard all year, so to
me, vacation time should be “me” time - a time for seeing new places and having new experiences,
but most of all, a time for getting to know the real me. -Dana

I love traveling because it gives my husband and me a chance to leave all the problems of work
behind us and really focus on our sons. They’re very young, so we go on trips that are close to our
home in California. We have a big van that we use for camping (I think my husband married me
because I’ve never liked hotels!), and we’ve used it for road trips to several national parks around
here. We think it’s important to teach the kids to appreciate nature, and we find it’s more relaxing to
stay close to home. We don’t like worrying about being late and missing a flight, and we hate
airports. -Sheila

I used to travel because I love learning about different cultures outside of the United States, but
five years ago I started traveling to “give back.” My past trips - especially to countries that are not
as rich as the United States - have helped me realize how lucky I am. Now I travel because I’m
interested in “voluntourism” - traveling as a volunteer. Last year I taught English to village children
in Haiti. This year I’m going to Africa to help doctors at a hospital in Kenya. The people appreciate
our work, and that makes me feel good about myself. -Wanda

Question 57: Why does Dana prefer to travel by herself?

A. She wishes to discover her real self.
B. She wants to learn about cultures and go sightseeing.
C. She couldn’t compromise with her friends about the journey.
D. She likes nice hotels and getting up late.
Question 58: Who might like going to a rain forest to help scientists on their vacation?
A. Dana B. Wanda C. Sheila D. Dana and Sheila
Question 59: What does the phrase “give back” in paragraph 3 mean?
Page 13/14 – Paper Code: ENGL3570
 A. discover B. help C. return D. enjoy
Question 60: Which of the following is NOT mentioned as the reason why Sheila wants to go on trips
close to her home in California?
A. Her sons are very young.
B. She doesn’t have to worry about missing a flight.
C. It’s more relaxing to stay near her home.
D. California has national parks.
