C. READING
I. Read the passage and then decide whether the statements are True (T) or
False (F).
EXAM OR CONTINUOUS ASSESSMENT?
How do you feel when you sit for an exam? Do you always succeed in getting
all your ideas down on paper, or do you sometimes feel that you're making a
mess of it? Apart from those lucky few who sail through exams, most
secondary school pupils find them very stressful. Many teachers are aware of
the problems their students face and use a different method for measuring their
progress: continuous. With continuous assessment, students are given various
tasks to do throughout the year. All their marks are added together to produce
a total mark at the end of the year. Students have to take more responsibility
for their education because they can't rely on doing well in just one day. Also,
they have more time to think over their work, meaning that they are able to
make their best.

1. _______ Only secondary school pupils find exams very stressful.


2. _______ Teachers care about the problems students face.
3. _______ Teachers use a different method for measuring students’ progress.
4. _______ Students can't rely on doing well in just one day.
5. _______ Students can’t make their best.

II. Read the following passage and then answer the questions.

There are two things that make humans different from all other animals. They
are language and music. Music is clearly different from language. However,
people can use it to communicate - especially their emotions. Like reading,
writing and speaking, music can express ideas, thoughts and feelings. It can
express one's anger, love, hate or friendship; it can also convey one’s hopes
and dreams.
Music is very much an integral part of our life. It is played during almost
important events and on special occasions and sets the tone for them. It adds
joyfulness to the atmosphere of a festival and makes a funeral more solemn
and mournful. Music lulls babies to sleep at night and wakes students up in the
morning.
Above all, music entertains. It makes people happy and excited. It delights the
senses. In fact, music as entertainment has always been a big business. It is a
billion-dollar industry. It is difficult to imagine what our lives would be like
without music.
