PART V READING COMPREHENSION [25 MIN]

TEXT A

Anna Douglas was 72 years old when she started writing her newspaper column.She had been the director of a school and a camp before she retired, but she needed to keep busy. She was even willing to work without pay. That was the reason she found a volunteer job with an agency. The agency that she chose to work for was a business that helped other businesses find jobs for old people. Every day she talked with other retired people like herself. By talking, she recognized two things. Old people had abilities that were not being used. Old people also had problems――mostly problems with communication.
Mrs. Douglas found a new purpose for herself. Through the years, from time to time she had written stories about people for national magazines. Now there was a new subject: old people like herself. She began to write a newspaper column called “Sixty Plus,” which focused on getting old. She writes about the problems of old people, especially their problems with being misunderstood.
Anna Douglas uses her thinking ability to see the truth behind a problem. She understands the reasons why problems begin. She understands old people and young people, too. For example, one of her readers said that his grandchildren left the house as soon as he came to visit. Mrs. Douglas suggested some ways for him to increase understanding with his grandchildren. She told him to listen to young peoples music and to watch the most popular television shows.
“It’s important to know something about your grandchildren’s world,” says Mrs.
Douglas. “That means questioning and listening――and listening is not what old sters do best,” she continues, “Say good things to them and about them. Never criticize your grandchildren or any other youngsters, teenagers, or young adults.
Never tell them that they are wrong. Don’t give them your opinion. They have been taught that they should have respect for old people. The old should have respect for the young as well.”

A. because she likes their music

TEXT B

Is there no end to the Drug Plague?
Last year, our nation’s capital passed the murder-a-day mark, and the number of homicides is now up some 50 percent from that level. More than half of these killings are drug-related. In 1988 New York City had its most violent year ever,with 1896 homicides. Many of these involved drugs. Such homicides are also a problem in Detroit, Baltimore, St. Louis, Los Angeles, Phoenix and scores of other cities where drug gangs war against one another and use violence to spread their deadly trade. In Bankhead Courts, and Atlanta housing project, drug-related crime has reached the point where mail carriers have had to depend on increased police patrols at delivery time.
For years, we have attacked the supply side of the drug crisis, trying to choke off the flow of drugs into our country and stop the networks that distribute them. This strategy has failed miserably. Now it’s time to launch a whole new offensive. We must crack down on drug consumers.
Last year, former First Lady Nancy Reagan had an emotional meeting with the parents of young woman who had died in a train crash that involved an engineer’s use of drugs. After that meeting, Mrs. Reagan said, “ If you’re a casual drug user, you’re an accomplice to murder.”
Mary Jane Hatcher, widow of a New York City drug-enforcement agent killed in the drug wars, echoes that sentiment. “Even through the grief,” she said after her husband’s death earlier this year, “ I must ask, who really killed Everett Emerson from our society? Look around. We middle-class suburban Americans, we casual users, we dabblers in drugs keep the market in drugs an ever-increasing one.
Therefore, Everett Emerson Hatcher was killed by all of us. Nice people. All of you who hear me now and fit this description, all of you must accept the blame for the loss of this good, gentle man.”

70. The best title for this passage is ____.

A. There Is No End to the Drug Plague

B. Let’s Get Tough with Drug User

C. We Must Crack Down on Drug Supplies

D. Everyone Is A Victim of Drug Use

71. Which of the following statements is not true according to the passage?

A. Last year there was a murder almost every day in Washington D.C..

B. Now more homicides happened this year.

C. More than half of these crimes are related to drug.

D. In USA mail carriers always depend on increased police patrols at delivery time.

72. For years the strategy against drug ____.

A. hasn’t worked as desired

B. has encouraged the supply of drug

C. hasn’t cut off the networks that distribute drug

D. has cracked down on drug consumers

73. Who should be blamed for the death of Everett Emerson Hatcher?

A. All of us.

B. One of the drug gangs.

C. Drug enforcement agent.

D. Middle-class suburban Americans

TEXT C

There’s been a lot of talk about extraterrestrial beings visiting our planet. I don’t put much stock in that. I am convinced, however, that we are surrounded by sentient things of our own making whose single aim is the harassment of the individual and, ultimately, the destruction of society.
Let me illustrate. A couple of years ago, I received a $ 600 insurance dividend. Sitting at the kitchen table, my wife and I discussed what we might do with the bonanza. I realize now that the refrigerator overheard our conversation. The very next day, it went berserk. The repairman told us we needed a new unit. Cost: $ 600.
Not long after, we got a refund from the IRS, enough to pay for a vacation in Mexico.
“I’ve something to tell you,” I said to my wife. “ Privately.”
“How about the den?” she suggested. I remembered that the color television set is in the den. “No, not there. Let’s go outside.”
I showed her the check as we stood in the driveway. We hugged each other elatedly and hardly noticed the rain.
My car was parked within earshot. I didn’t think anything of it at the time.
As I started for the train the next morning, the car began making devilish screeching sounds.
“The engine’s shot,” my mechanic said, “Replacing it will cost about a thousand dollars.”
The car’s demise convinced me I was on to something big. I dug through our financial records. I discovered that over the past ten years our receipt of “ found” money invariably was followed by equal expenditures to replace a hot-water heater, a television and a stove.
Today, I lavish compliments on all the mechanical devices in our home. And I never, ever mention financial rewards in front of them.
But if this article is published and I’m paid for it, the word processor is going to go wrong for sure. It’ll know.

74. In Paragraph 1, “sentient things of our own making” refer to ____.

A. extraterrestrial beings

B. human beings

C. our sense organs

D. mechanical devices made by man

75. Which of the following statements is true?

A. The author believes that there have been extraterrestrial beings visiting our planet.

B. The author and his wife talked about the refund in the driveway where noting could hear them.

C. The author and his wife were overjoyed at the repayment from the IRS.

D. The author noticed that the refrigerator was overhearing his conversation with his wife.

76. Which is the topic sentence of the passage?

A. The first sentence of the passage.

B. The third sentence of the passage.

C. The last sentence but one of the passage.

D. The last sentence of the passage.

TEXT D

A twenty-year-old immigrant, Levi Strauss, came to the United States in 1850 to seek his fortune in the gold fields. But strangely enough, this man made his fortune on heavy canvas that he found suitable for working clothes. Strauss’ jeans were particularly good for prospectors and cowboys. In the early days of jeans, this man couldn’t have guessed that his pants, made only for rough work, would become so popular at all levels of society. Yes, this is a fact: jeans have become fashionable in our society. Furthermore, these pants have come to symbolize changes in social attitude.
In the last decade or two we have seen movements toward equality as well as defiance of authority. Jeans, now worn by everybody, can be said to symbolize these changes for the better. In the past, only men wore jeans, and these men were at the bottom――socially and economically. Jeans were worn by truck drivers, farm and factory workers. Today, jeans no longer are looked down upon. They are worn by both men and women, by both skilled and unskilled workers, by both employees and employers. This common way of dressing symbolizes respect for individuality, no matter what your occupation or sex. In the fight against authority, young people have been the leaders. So it is natural that teenagers would defy parents and school administrators over the right to wear jeans to class and win. Jeans are the typical dress of civil rights marchers, fans at rock concerts, “hippies” returning to nature, and serious college students.Because everyone can be comfortable in them, the blue jeans invented for the use of workers are now accepted almost anywhere, anytime. This is true not only in the United States, but in many other countries in the world. I strongly agree with the following statement: “Old or new, glorified or plain, jeans are likely to be around for a long time to come. Already they have succeeded where statesmanship has failed. Although unable to speak the same language, the inhabitants of this embattled planet have at least agreed to wear the same pants.”

77. Jeans, originally designed by Levi Strauss, ____.

A. have become a symbol of the fashionable class

B. have come to symbolize changes in social attitude

C. are suitable wear for rough work only

D. are no longer so popular as they used to be

78. What is implied but not directly stated in the passage is that____.

A. young people have been the leaders in the fight against authority

B. today, jeans are no longer looked down upon

C. jeans are the typical dress of civil rights marchers

D. formerly students were not allowed to wear jeans to class

79. The author is of the opinion that____.

A. jeans are likely to be a short-lived fashion

B. jeans are popular only in the United States

C. jeans are likely to be popular for a long time to come

D. jeans are no longer fashionable

80. The last two sentences imply that____.

A. statesmen in the world are less competent than jeans

B. the inhabitants of the world should speak the same language

C.statesmen have failed to reach agreement on many major issues of the world

D. jeans will help statesmen to reach agreement on some world issues

Shakespeare lovers keen to see the place where the Bard’s mother Mary Arden grew up have been visiting the wrong house since the 18th century. The Shakespeare Birthplace Trust said that new research had shown the Tudor farmhouse long known as “Mary Arden’s House” in fact belonged to a family friend. The mother ofWilliam Shakespeare, England’s most famous playwriter, actually lived in another property close bythe Warwickshire village of Wilmcote, three miles north of Stratford-upon-Avon. The discovery was made by local historian Nat Alcock, who traced medieval land deeds, including a rental agreement dating from 1587, showing that a building known as Glebe Farm was Mary’s childhood home. The house thought to have been her home was in fact owned by Adam Palmer, a family friend and neighbor. Glebe Farm will now be known as Mary Arden’s House and the building which previously bore that name will be called Palmer’s Farm.

The British are the European Union’s worst linguists while the citizens of Luxem bourg are the best, according to an EU poll published recently.

But British travelers to Europe need not worry. English is the most common second language in the EU, spoken by 41 percent of the block’s citizens. In Denmark, Sweden and the Netherlands, at least 78 percent of people speak English as a second language. Although 47 percent of EU citizens know only their mother tongue, there is wide agreement that speaking foreign language is good thing. 72 percent of those polled believe foreign language skills are useful, 71 percent said everyone should know one foreign language and 69 percent said everyone should speak English.
