Read the text below and think of the word which best fits each space. Use only ONE word in each space.
People have always dreamed of living forever, and although we all know this will (1) never happen, we still want to live as long as possible. Naturally, there are advantages and disadvantages to a long (2) life.
In the first place, people (3)who live longer can spend more time with their family and friends. Secondly, people who have busy working lives look forward to a long, relaxing time when they can do the things they have never had time for.
(4) On the other hand, there are some serious disadvantages. Firstly, many people become ill and consequently have to (5) spend time in hospital or become dependent (6) on their children and friends. Many of them (7) find this dependence annoying or embarrassing. In addition to this, the (8) older people get, the fewer friends they seem to have because old friends die or become ill and it's often difficult to make new (9) friends
To sum up, it seems that living to a very old age is worthwhile for people who stay healthy (10) enough to remain independent and enjoy life.

FAMILY VOLUNTEER DAY
The first reason why many families do volunteer work is that they feel satisfied and proud. The feeling of fulfillment comes from helping the community and other people. In addition, volunteering is a great way for families to have fun and feel closer. But many people say they don't have time to volunteer because they have to work and take care of their families. If that's the case, try rethinking some of your free time as a family. You can select just one or two projects a year and make them a family tradition. For instance, your family can make and donate gift baskets for the old homeless people on holidays. Your family can also spend only one Saturday morning a month collecting rubbish in your neighbourhood.

Read the following passage and choose the best answer:
Computing is now at the same stage as printing was when the first printing presses were used. Before printing presses were invented, only rich people like kings and dukes could afford to buy books. Often these people were unable to read and hadn’t enough time to learn. In any case, the books were so big that it was difficult for anyone to relax with a book as we do today. They wanted booked because they were expensive and there was something magical about them. Only a few people were able to write, and it took an extremely long time to write a book. Monks and other people who could write said ordinary people could not learn to read.
The position with computers is very similar today. A few years ago, computers were very large and expensive. Business managers and rich people ordered them but they didn’t know how to use them.

VI Read the following passage and answer each of the question below. ( 10 points )
We speak about the weather almost everyday. Before we begin doing something we want to know what kind of weather it is going to be.
Why do we speak about the weather so often? The answer is not difficult. We want sunny weather when we go for a walk in the country, and on a rainy day we stay at home reading books, watching TV or doing other things.
When we are at the seaside, windy weather is not pleasant . It is difficult to swim when the wind blows. And the wind can change good weather into bad one. The sun will stop shinning, and the rain may come.
And is there anything which we can do and must do in any weather? Yes, of coure there is. As English people say*rain or shine we must go to school.*.School is good in any weather, isn’t it?
It is obviously important for a farmer, a fisherman, an airplanr pilot, and a hip’s captain to know what the weather will be like. Unless they know what weather to expect , they cannot make their plans.
1 How often do we speak about the weather?
ALMOST EVERYDAY.
2 What do we usually do on a rainy day?
we stay at home reading books, watching TV or doing other things.
3 What is wrong with us when we are at the seasidde on a windy day?
It is difficult to swim when the wind blows.
4 According to the writer, what thing can we do and must we do in any weather?
WE MUST GO TO SCHOOL.
5 Why is it important for us to know what kind of weather it is going to be?
Because unless they know what weather to expect , they cannot make their plans.
