Passage 1
Many people who work in London prefer to live outside it morning and reach home late in the evening ．
One advantage of living outside London is that houses are cheaper．Even a small flat in London without a garden costs quite a lot to rent ．With the same money，one can get a little house in the country with a garden of one ’s own．
Then，in the country one can really get away from the noise and hurry of busy working lives．Even though one has to get up earlier and spend．more time in trains or buses ，one can sleep better at night and during weekends and on summer evenings ，one can enjoy the fresh，clean air of the country．If one likes gardens ，one can spend one’s free time digging ，planting ，watering and doing the hundred and one other jobs which are needed in a garden ．Then，when the flowers and vegetables come up ，one has got the reward together with those who have shared the secret of Nature．
Some people，however，take no interest in country things ：for them ，happiness lies in the town ．with its cinemas and theatres，beautiful shops and busy streets，dance–halls and restaurants．Such people would feel that their life was not worth living if they had to live it outside London．An occasional walk in one of the parks and a fortnight ’s(two weeks)visit to the sea every summer is all the country they want ：the rest they are quite prepared to leave to those who are glad to get away from London every night ．(287 words) 11．Which of the following statements is NOT true?

By definition ， heroes and heroines are men and women distinguished by uncommon courage，achievements，and self – sacrifice made most for the benefits of others — they are people against whom we measure others． They are men and women recognized for shaping our nation＇s consciousness and development as well as the lives of those who admire them ．Yet， some people say that ours is an age where true heroes and heroines are hard to come by， where the very idea of heroism is something beyond u
s– an artifact of the past ．Some mai n–
tain，that because the Cold War is over and because America is at peace ，our age is essentially an unheroic one．Furthermore，the overall crime rate is down，poverty has been eased by a strong and growing economy ，and advances continue to be made in medical science．
Cultural icons are hard to define ，but we know them when we see them ．They are people who manage to go beyond celebrity( 明星 )，who are legendary，who somehow manage to become mythic ． But what makes some figures icons and 0therS mere celebrities？That＇s hard to answer．In part，their lives have the quality of a story to tell ．For instance，the beautiful young Diana Spencer who at 19 married a prince ，renounced marriage and the throne ，and died at the moment she found true love ．Good looks certainly help ．So does a special indefinable charm ， with the help of the media ．But nothing confirms an icon more than a tragic deat h– such as Martin Luther King ，Jr．， John F．Kennedy，and Princess Diana．(258words) 16． The passage mainly deals with
A ．1ife and death C．heroes and icons 17． Heroes and heroines are usually

．

B．good examples to follow D．all of the above ．
B．heroes and heroines D．icons and celebrities

Passage 3
Shyness is the cause of much unhappiness for fl great many people ．Shy people are anxious and self – conscious；that is，they are excessively concerned with their own appearance and actions．Worrisome thoughts are constantly occurring in their minds ：what kind of impression am I making ？ Do they like me ？Do I sound stupid ？Am 1 wearing unattractive clothes?
It is obvious that such uncomfortable feelings must negatively affect people． A person’s conception of himself or herself is reflected in the way he or she behaves selves has a profound effect on all areas of their lives ．
Shy people，having low self-esteem，are likely to be passive and easily influenced by others．They need reassurance that they are doing＂the right thing．＂ Shy people are very sensitive to criticism ；they feel it confirms their feelings of inferiority
．They also find it diff i –
cult to be pleased by compliment with a statement like this one，“You＇re just saying that to make me feel good．I know it’s not true．”It is clear that while self– awareness is a healthy quality ， overdoing it is harmful ．
Can shyness be completely eliminated ， or at least reduced？ Fortunately ， people can overcome shyness with determined and patient efforts in building sel f – confidence．Since shy– ness goes hand in hand with a lack of self– esteem，it is important for people to accept their weaknesses as well as their strengths．
Each one of us is a unique，worthwhile individual ，interested in our own personal ways ．The better we understand ourselves ，the easier it becomes to live up to our full potential allow shyness to block our chances for a rich and fulfilling life
