1. Read the passage, and choose the correct answer A, B, C or D for each question.
The status of women in Japan is complex and cannot be characterized in simple terms. Slowly, there is a
growing number of professional women and professional women’s associations. More women continue to
work after getting married and having children. However, many companies have separate programmes for
women, usually non-career development, and follow practices that would be considered discriminatory in
other societies. For a typical couple, the female spouse is still generally expected to do all of the cleaning,
cooking, and other chores, whether she is working or not. Single women are said to be enjoying their lives,
spending much money on travel abroad and shopping. Housewives are active in networking themselves for
various objectives, for example volunteer activities, community services, recycling activities, study groups,
and many others. The traditional Japanese value of “good wife, good mother” is changing.
Unlike other countries where a couple is the usual social unit, in Japan it is typical for only the husband to
be invited to business gatherings or to weddings for company employees. Exceptions are frequently made for
foreign visitors depending on the occasion, but wives should not take their exclusion as a personal insult.

2. Read the following passage and choose the best answers.
The United Nations (UN), an international organization of countries, was created to promote world peace and
cooperation. The UN was founded after World War II ended in 1945. Its mission is to maintain world peace,
develop good relations between countries, promote cooperation in solving the world’s problems, and
encourage respect for human rights.
The UN is an organization of countries that agree to cooperate with one another. It brings together countries
that are rich and poor, large and small, and have different social and political systems. Member nations pledge
to settle their disputes peacefully, to refrain from using force or the threat of force against other countries, and
to refuse help to any country that opposes UN actions.
UN membership is open to any country willing to further the UN mission and abide by its rules. Each country,
no matter how large or small, has an equal voice and vote. Each country is also expected to pay dues to
support the UN. As of 2004 the UN had 191 members, including nearly every country in the world.
The UN’s influence in world affairs has fluctuated over the years, but the organization gained new prominence
beginning in the 1990s. It was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2001. Still, the UN faces constant challenges.
It must continually secure the cooperation of its member nations because the organization has little
independent power or authority. But getting that support is not always easy. Many nations are reluctant to
defer their own authority and follow the dictates of the UN.

A smart board is an interactive whiteboard. It can be connected to one or more laptops, PCs, tablets, or
other electronic devices. Smart boards are extremely useful in a classroom because they can engage students,
provide interactive opportunities that a traditional whiteboard, blackboard or flip chart can't, and can also
develop students' computer skills along with their English skills.
Smart boards also have touch-screen technology so you do not actually need a computer to access the
basic functionality. You can write on a smart board with special pens which are usually provided with the
board, and anything written on the board can be saved for future reference, or printed out. It is great, for
example, if you are doing a brainstorming session or a mind map with your classmates and you want to keep a
record of it.
If you don't want to draw with the pens, you can use a keyboard and type onto a programme such as
Word, and have it appear on the screen for everyone to see. This is great if you are doing an exercise with your
class and you want everyone to be able to see the answers during the checking stage. You can also run

PowerPoint presentations on an interactive whiteboard. These can sometimes be great for grammar or
vocabulary presentations and the advantage of them is that students can make contributions.
If you have the Internet access, you can access websites and put them onto a white board. This is great in
an English classroom if you have online quizzes or games you want to use. Students can actually come up to
the board and select their answers. This involves them directly in the board work, which they usually love.
You can also run video clips or sound files from the Internet, or some which are saved on your computer.
In short, a smart board can make the lessons more varied, and can give students a more active role in the
lesson.
