Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet.
Only a short time ago, the role dads played in the household was quite different. However, no longer is it only the dad
that 'works' and mom that 'works in the home'. Now, more so than ever, it's not surprising for dad to be the homemaker, while
mom "brings home the bacon." And, it's not just socio- economic factors at play here, but it's also a shift in society's
expectations for how a father should interact with his children. The 21st century dad is more involved in the emotional support
of his family than his father was, and much more so than his father's father.
Now, beginning with the birth of the child, dads play a more hands-on role. The role of the modem day father can
look quite different for each family. It could be coming home from work to spend time with the kids, extra involvement in a
child's education and extra-curricular activities, taking and picking up the kids from school, working part-time, or even being
the primary care giver and a stay-at-home-dad. Some men still find challenges in how to become involved, they may know
they need to be active and hands-on in the child's life, but are not sure how to effectively contribute. This is where mothers can
encourage and help the father to connect with the child.
41. What is the passage about?
A. Dads' roles in the household B. The changing roles of dads in the family
C. Dads' support in the family D. Activities at La Tomatina Festival
42. What does the word "primary" in the second passage mean?
A. only B. sole C. small D. main
43. Which is NOT mentioned in the passage as a role of dads in the family?
A. Doing the gardening B. Helping the children with their study
C. Playing with the children D. Taking care of the children
44. Why do some men need their wives' help to connect with their children?
A. Because they don't know how to get involved in the children's lives.
B. Because they know they need to be active and hands-on in the child's life.
C. Because they have to do so many extra-curricular activities.
D. Because their roles in the family now are different from those in the past.
45. It can be inferred from the passage that __________.
A. women nowadays do not care about their family as much as they used to
B. more men have become homemakers because women work better than them
C. there are more male homemakers than female ones in modern families
D. there are many factors leading to the change in dads' roles in the family

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
One of the most important discoveries of the nineteenth century was a method of using natural gas for cooking and heating.
Large amounts of natural gas are found in the United States, usually several feet below the surface of the Earth. Natural gas is
most often found in places where petroleum, the oil from which gasoline is made, is found. Often the natural gas must be removed
before the oil itself can be reached.
For many years after natural gas was first discovered, it was thought to have no value. Finally, however, people began to
understand its use and to find ways of storing it and moving it from place to place. Today natural gas is stored in large tanks and
used for lighting, cooking and heating. It has also been used for electric generators and hybrid cars recently. In many ways natural
gas is one of our finest fuels. It can be used for cooking without making the room hot. It is cheap and can be moved easily from
one place to another through long pipelines, some of which are hundreds of miles in length.

that both looks good and feels good. You know the obvious behaviors that describe someone who is healthy and takes care of
themselves. A healthy person doesn't smoke, eats healthy foods with plenty of fruits, vegetables and fiber and, of course, exercises
regularly. A healthy person also knows how to manage stress, gets good quality sleep each night, doesn't drink too much, doesn't
sit too much, does everything in moderation all the time. When you look at everything that could possibly make a healthy lifestyle,
you can see just how hard all of those things are in our current world.
There is no such thing as a "bad" food, but there are some foods you should try not to have regular basis. Fast food refers to food
that can be prepared and served quickly. It is popular as the food is inexpensive, convenient, and tastes good. Because fast food is

The good news is that you don't have to change everything at the same time. In fact, the trick to healthy living is making small
changes-taking more steps each day, adding fruit to your cereal, having an extra glass of water, or saying no to that second
helping of buttery mashed potatoes. One thing you can do right now to make your lifestyle healthier is to move more.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
In the second half of each year, many powerful storms are born in the tropical Atlantic and Caribbean seas. Of these, only
about half a dozen become the strong, circling winds of 74 miles per hour or more that are called hurricanes, and several usually
make their way to the coast. There they cause millions of dollars of damage, and bring death to large numbers of people.
The great storms that hit the coast start soft circling wind hundreds - even thousands – of miles out to sea. As they travel
aimlessly over water warmed by the summer sun, they are carried to move westward by the southeast winds. As the heat increases,
the young hurricane beg counter-clockwise motion.
The life of a hurricane is only about nine days, but it contains almost more power than we can imagine. The energy in the
heat released by a hurricane's rainfall in a single day would satisfy the entire electrical needs of the United States for more than
six months. Water, not wind, is the main source of death and destruction in a hurricane. A typical hurricane brings 6 to 12 inches
downpour, causing sudden floods. Worst of all is the powerful movement of the sea – the mountains of water moving toward the
hurricane center. The water level rises as much as 15 feet above normal as it moves toward shore.
