We first learn about loving and caring relationships from our families. Family is defined as a domestic group
of people with some degree of kinship - whether through blood, marriage, or adoption. Ideally, each child is
nurtured, respected, and grows up to care for others and develop strong and healthy relationships. This does
not mean that it is always easy to make and keep friends; it just means that we share the goal of having strong
relationships.
"Family" includes your siblings and parents, as well as relatives who you may not interact with every day,
such as your cousins, aunts, uncles, grandparents, and stepparents. These are probably the people you are
closest to and with whom you spend the most time. Having healthy relationships with your family members is
both important and difficult.
Families in the 21st century come in all shapes and sizes: traditional, single parent, blended (more than one
family together in the same house], and gay and lesbian parents -just to name a few. No matter the "type" of
family you have, there are going to be highs and lows - good times and bad. Many times, however, families
become blocked in their relationships by hurt, anger, mistrust, and confusion. These are natural and normal,
and few families do not have at least a few experiences with them. The worst time for most families, is during
a divorce. By making a few simple changes in the way we look at the world and deal with other people, it is
possible to create happier, more stable relationships. Families need to be units of mutual caring and support;
they can be sources of lifelong strength for all individuals.

correct answer to each of the questions from 46 to 50.
It is a common misconception that greenhouse gases only have detrimental effects on the Earth and our world
would be a much better place without them. In actual fact, they play an indispensable role in our ecology. The
Earth’s most abundant greenhouse gases include carbon dioxide, methane, ozone, CFCs and water vapour, all
of which can be found near the Earth surface. They absorb radiation, heating up the atmosphere. For example,
carbon dioxide and water vapour take in infrared radiations coming to the earth. At the same time, they partly
reflect these infrared radiations back to the earth’s surface. The process of radiation absorption maintains the
temperature of the Earth in a way that makes the green planet habitable for mankind. Without these
greenhouse gases and their service, the Earth’s temperature would fall drastically and become uninhabitable.
46. What is the purpose of the text?
A. To inform ways to conserve the earth
B. To deal with a mistaken belief regarding greenhouse gases
C. To emphasise the damaging effects of greenhouse gases

Berrak: A Pianist
A typical day now involves a couple of hours practice in the morning before going into college and
attending classes. I spend a lot of time in the library, listening to music, trying to learn and become familiar
with new pieces of music. One downside to choosing to study and (25) a career in music is that you end up
spending hours and hours by yourself. However, I also try to spend time at college meeting other people
and networking. The more musicians I know, the more likely I am to be asked to play for others. The
more I play, the better known I become and in the music business it's all about recognition and getting your
name out there. (26) ,it's important to get involved in as many performances as possible and take part in
competitions so that as many people as possible see you perform and know who you are. It’s a very (27)
industry. Ultimately, if I am asked to play and get given a job it means that someone else loses work
and sometimes it feels like a constant battle. You can't help being drawn into an artificial world (28) you
are constantly comparing yourself to others and are always worried about what (29)__ think of
your performances. In the real world outside of college your audience is much wider.
