II. READING

Read the passage and choose the correct answer.

Passage 1:

Jim Springer and Jim Lewis were reunited after 39 years by Dr. Thomas Bouchard. Professor of psychology at the University of Minnesota. He was investigating how much

of our personality depends on genes. Dr. Bouchard was amazed by how many things the twins had in common. He had expected them to look identical and to have similar

medical histories. But he and his team were very surprised to find the enormous similarities in the two Jims’ personalities, their lifestyle, their hobbies, their religion, even

their political beliefs.

Some of the similarities are incredible: Jim Springer’s son is called James Allen, and Jim Lewis’s is called James Alan. They both have dogs named Toy. They like and hate

the same sports and they voted for the same president. And both Jims have the same romantic habit of leaving little love letters for their wives around the house.

Dr. Bouchard is convinced that genes are probably much more important in determining our personality and preferences than people used to think.

Passage 2:

The Ethiopian runner, Haile Gebreselassie, is probably the greatest athlete of all time. He has won two Olympic titles and seven world titles. He has also broken numerous

world records in the 5000 and 10000 meter races. The journalist Paul Kimmage went to interview him at his home in Addis Ababa.

Haile’s routine has not changed since he became an athlete. Every morning he gets up at 5:45 and runs for two hours. He takes a nap after lunch and then goes out running

again.

Haile was brought up in a very poor family. Although today he is a multimillionaire, he has never been comfortable with being a rich man in such a poor country. “The thing
st
that really offends me,” he says, “is that the most important value in the 21 century is how much money you have.”

In the future, when he retires from athletics, Haile may go into politics. “I want to do something to help the people of Ethiopia. I have travelled to many countries. I have

experience and I want to share that experience.” What Haile can’t understand is why Europe is so rich and Ethiopia so poor. “I was in Germany a week ago and it was

freezing! Minus five. We have a much better climate. But we don’t have enough water, and so we don’t have enough food, and there are too many people.”

Passage 3:

If you decide to have a DJ, the most important thing to consider is quality. DJs need to be reliable, they need to have professional equipment, and they need to be

experienced. And good DJs can be difficult to find.

When you’re hiring a DJ, it’s important to make sure that you like the music they play. If they are experienced, they should ask you what kind of party you’re having and

what kind of people will be there. This information will help them choose the music they play – and a good DJ always wants to entertain people.

Different DJs can have very different amounts of equipment, from small CD and minidisc players to large sound systems and disco lighting, and even live dancers. It’s

important to ask how much equipment the DJ has, so you can plan an appropriate space for him or her to work in. Again, a good DJ will be able to adapt his or her

equipment to your needs.

When hiring a DJ, it’s important to understand that you get what you pay for. Experienced DJs are in demand and ask for higher fees than newer, less experienced DJs. A

good DJ means a great party, so try to spend as much as you can. And don’t forget to enjoy yourself!

Passage 5:

15
If you were hiking in the North American wilderness and you saw a bear coming slowly toward you, what would you do? Well, the best thing to do depends on the mood

that the bear is in. If it comes toward you slowly, experts say you should talk to it quietly, walk away as slowly as possible, and don’t look the bear in the eye. It might lose

interest.

If not, then be aggressive, make a noise, and wave your hands. If that doesn’t work, and the bear continues to come toward you, then run. But only if you are sure that you

can reach somewhere safe before the bear reaches you. And remember that a bear can run as fast as an Olympic sprinter. Don’t climb a tree. Bears climb them all day long,

and they can climb better than you can. Water is also not safe. Bears love water and are excellent swimmers. If your car is nearby, try to get inside.

If a bear attacks you, then you can pretend to be dead. Bears who don’t want to eat you may lose interest and go away. If you have pepper spray, then spray it in the bear’s

face. This works 75% of the time. The final possibility is to fight back. Most bears are much bigger and stronger than you, but they may be surprised.

21. What is the best thing to do when you see a bear?
