Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate
the correct answer to each of the questions from 39 to 43.

You have probably never heard of Charles Burgess Fry (1872-1956), but in England he was
the greatest all-round sportsman of his time, and perhaps of any time. He became famous while
still at university, mainly on account of his achievements in sport. He was at the same time captain
of the university football, cricket and athletics teams and held the world record for the long jump.
He was also a popular sports journalist. He was so famous that letters addressed to Mr. Fry
Oxford were delivered to him without any difficulty. His college, although it had quite a different
name, was known as Fry’s College.

Some people have criticized Fry's sporting achievements. They point out that he lived at a time
when standards were quite low and it was much easier to do well in several sports. It is certainly
true that athletes of that time did not have the totally dedicated approach of modern athletes.
However, it is fair to judge him by the standards of his own time. There is no doubt that he had
extraordinary skills combined with an ability to write about sports with style and intelligence.

39. It can be inferred from the passage that in the early years of _____, C.B Fry was the most
famous man in England.
A. the 18th century B. the 19th century C. the 20th century D. the 21st century

40. Thanks to _____, C.B Fry became well-known while he was at university.
A. his name B. his success in sports
C. his world record D. his journalistic career

41. According to the passage, C.B Fry was excellent at all of the following sports EXCEPT _____.
A. cricket B. football C. tennis D. athletics

42. The word “criticized” in the passage is closest in meaning to _____.


A. dispraised B. blamed C. complained D. attacked

43. The author’s tone in the passage is best described as _____.


A. persuasive B. despondent C. informative D. concerned

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate
the correct answer to each of the questions from 44 to 50.

It is normal for you to feel jittery when you are being interviewed for a job, particularly in a
stress-producing situation. In fact, there are many jobs where a little nervousness isn't looked at
askance. Right before attending the interview, it does help to dry a damp brow or clammy hand,
but otherwise, don't be too concerned about the outward manifestations of your nervousness.
Experienced interviewers will discount most physical signs of nervousness. The only one that
people have a hard time ignoring is a fidgety hand. Interviewees who constantly twist their hands
or make movements that are dramatically distracting are calling to their nervousness.

Remember that during the interview, employers talks to the applicant in order to determine
whether or not he or she is suitable for the job, not because they enjoy embarrassing uneasy

applicants. One way to overcome a flustered feeling, or "butterflies in the stomach", is to note that
interviewers want to evaluate potential employees and select the most desirable applicants. If
employers think you fit into their company or organization, you will be the one who is sought
after. An interview also allows the candidate to assess the corporate culture and demands of the
job. It is almost as if you are interviewing them to see if they are good enough for you.

44. The word “jittery” in the passage is closest in meaning to _____.


A. excited B. nervous C. uncomfortable D. awkward

45. According to the passage, nervousness about a job interview is _____.


A. common B. avoidable
C. stress-producing D. looked at askance

46. The word “discount” in the passage is closest in meaning to _____.

A. is looking for signs of nervousness B. seeks facts from perspective employees

You might worry that part-time work will distract teenagers from studying. But doing a
part-time job can have lots of benefits. In addition to earning extra pocket money, teenagers can
develop their skills in teamwork and timekeeping. They can also get a reference from their
employer when they apply for jobs and courses in the future.

Careers adviser Graeme Barrett says “Part-time work is a great opportunity. It gives them
an understanding of the rules of the workplace and teaches good timekeeping, reliability,
responsibility and working as part of a team. It also helps to build their confidence.”

Vacancies for young people looking for part-time work are mostly in shops, restaurants,
cafes or fast-food outlets. There are often seasonal opportunities in the summer or at Christmas,
when young people find jobs helping at parties and functions. Sometimes parents can help their
children find work in their own workplace or through friends and family.

However, it's important to make sure that school work still comes first. Parents can help their
children come up with a plan so they can manage their time and fit in studying, school, work and
the other things they like to do such as sport and seeing friends or family.

39. According to the passage, doing a part time job can help teenagers to improve all of the
following skills EXCEPT
A. timekeeping B. teamwork C. self-management D. technology

40. The word ‘reference’ in the passage is closest in meaning to


A. recommendation B. statement C. information D. guidance

41. It can be inferred from the passage that teenagers often do part-time jobs
A. in the summer B. in the winter C. during their holidays D. all year round

42. It can be inferred from the passage that seasonal opportunities are
A. permanent B. temporary C. rare D. abundant

43. According to the passage, who can help teenagers if they want to look for a part-time job?

Anita Roddick opened her own health and beauty shop, named The Body Shop, in her

Grants are among the best sources of financial aid for college, based on need. Grants help
undergraduate and graduate students cover their tuition and education costs. Government
agencies, colleges and universities, and private foundations award grants to both undergraduate
and graduate students. Colleges and universities, the largest providers of grants, awarding about
44% of all grant aid, attract students by offering grants, and they distribute federal and state grant
money through their financial aid offices. Award amounts, eligibility requirements, and
application processes vary depending on the grant. Some students also use private and employer
grants to help pay for school.

Unlike loans, which recipients must repay, grants offer free money for college that does not
need to be paid back - as long as students meet the grant's criteria. Some international students
often confuse grants with scholarships.

Both grants and scholarships are free aid, but the main difference between a grant and a
scholarship is where the funds come from, eligibility criteria, and the application process. In
general, grants are given based on financial-need, while scholarships are merit-based and
awarded to students based on their academic achievements, extracurricular activities, field of
study, and more.

Understanding the grant system and how to get grants for school can help students graduate
without hefty student loan payments.

A gold rush is a rapid influx of fortune seekers to the site of newly discovered gold
deposits. Gold rushes capture the imagination and participation of many people because of the
magical lure of gold and the potential for overnight affluence. Major gold rushes occurred in the
United States, Australia, Canada and South Africa in the 19th century.

The best-known gold rush occurred in California, US in 1848 and reached its peak in 1852.
It was arguably one of the most significant events to shape American history during the first half
of the 19th century. On January 24, 1848, James Wilson Marshall, a carpenter originally from New
Jersey, found flakes of gold in the American River at the base of the Sierra Nevada Mountains near
Coloma, California. At the time, Marshall was working to build a water-powered sawmill owned
by John Sutter, a German-born Swiss citizen and founder of a colony of Nueva Helvetia (New
Switzerland, which would later become the city of Sacramento). Sutter and Marshall agreed to
become partners and tried to keep their find a secret. News of the discovery at Sutter’s Mill,
however, soon spread, and they were besieged by thousands of fortune seekers. By August 1848,
4,000 gold miners were in the area, and within a year about 80,000 “forty-niners” (as the fortune
seekers of 1849 were called) had arrived at the California goldfields. The news of gold brought
approximately 300,000 people travelling by sea or over land to California from the rest of the
United States and abroad. The influx of gold-seekers to this region affected the makeup of the
state’s population.

The California Gold Rush turned the once-rural expanse of California into an area dotted
with towns and cities. The Gold Rush also put San Francisco - the capital of the state - a small
town of 1,000 people in 1848, on the map.

One of the California Gold Rush’s main contributions was the rapid “Americanization” of
California. The flood of gold-seekers was a major factor in California becoming a state in 1850.
Before the Gold Rush, California was a frontier with only a tenuous connection to the rest of the
United States. But the massive amount of Americans who later settled in California considered the
state an extension of the United States. The Gold Rush united the nation by bringing the west into
the rest of the nation.

44. What does the passage mainly discuss?


A. Gold rushes B. The effects of a gold rush
C. Gold fever in California D. The California Gold Rush and its effects

45. The word “lure” is closest in meaning to


A. power B. value C. interest D. temptation

46. According to the passage, people join gold rushes because


A. they are not mature enough to resist the lure of gold
B. they are attracted by the magic of gold overnight
C. they believe they soon have a chance of becoming wealthy.
D. gold lets their imagination run wild.

seekers, many employers still think cover letters are important. According to a 2023 study by
employment website Zippia, more than a fourth (26 percent) of employers "always read cover
letters" and think they're an important factor of the hiring decision. And almost half (45 percent)
said that not including a cover letter could get your application rejected. So in most cases, it's best
to be cautious and include one. It can help you stand out from the crowd. Employers have to read
through a lot of application forms for just one role. As a result, if you have similar abilities as other
candidates, a cover letter allows you to highlight your personality and special skills. In short,
including a cover letter is truly useful for job search. Here's how:

 It shows that you are willing to put in extra effort. Looking for a new job requires a lot of
work, so it might be hard to write different cover letters for different positions. However,
according to the Zippia study, 61 percent of hiring managers consider a customized resume

(including a cover letter and portfolio link) as the "top method for applicants to increase
their chances of getting a job."
 You can solve any biases that may exist. In an ideal world, employers wouldn't judge you

situations, so employers don't get the wrong impression.

Working for a small company may be better than you think

Recent research shows that many job-seekers believe their ideal position would be in a
large company. However, working for a small or medium-sized business has many advantages
that are too easily overlooked. Here are just a few of them.

Working in a small organisation with a small workforce means it’s likely to be easy to
become part of it. it won’t be long before you’re familiar with the staff and the departments that
you need to deal with. This can provide a feeling of comfort that takes much longer to develop in
a large company. Departments are likely to be small and have close connections with each other,
which helps to make internal communication work well – everyone knows what’s going on. You’ll
also gain a better understanding of how your own role fits into the company as a whole.

In a small business you’re likely to have considerable variety in your workload, including
opportunities to work in different areas of the company, which will allow you to identify abilities

that you didn’t know you had. An introduction to new activities could even lead to a change of
career. This variety in your work will help to make it stimulating, so you have a good reason for
getting out of bed in the morning.

There will be plenty of opportunities to show initiative, and you’ll also learn to function
well as part of a team. Because it’s much harder to overlook someone within a small workforce
than a large one, your efforts are more likely to attract the attention of those higher up. You’ll have
plenty of opportunity to show what you can do, and to have your potential noticed. The result is
very likely to be that promotion comes to you faster.

Small businesses are usually flexible, something that is rarely true of large organisations.
This means that if they’re well managed, they can adapt to make the most of changes in the wider
economy, which in turn can help you. Don’t dismiss them as a place to work because of the myths
about them. Small firms can be ideal places for developing your career.
