To do well at school, college or university you usually need to do well in exams. "All students hate exams" may be a generalization, but it is a fairly true one. Certainly, all of the students I've known disliked doing exams. None of them thought that the exam system was fair; to do well in an exam you simply had to be able to predict the questions which would be asked. This was the case as regards two students in my class at college. Both of them were exceptionally bright, but in the final year "exam" neither of them got an A grade. In fact, they both got Cs.

New York is called "the Big Apple". Maybe it is not exactly like an apple, it's certainly very big. There are too many people, that's the problem. The streets are always full of cars and trucks; you can never find a place to park.
Travelling around is never easy in the city. If you have enough money, you can take a taxi. New York cabs are yellow. They look all the same. But the drivers are very different. Some were born and raised in New York, but many are newcomers to the United States.
A few drive slowly, but most go very fast. Cab driving is a difficult job. It can be dangerous, too. Thieves often try to steal the drivers' money. Drivers sometimes get hurt.
If you don't want to take a taxi, you can go by bus or you can take the subway. The subway is quick and it's cheap, but some of its parts are old and dirty. Lights don't always work and there are often fires on the track. On some subway lines, there are new, clean and silver trains. But you can't see the color of the old trains easily.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the following questions.
Dolphins are regarded as the friendliest creatures in the sea. Stories of them helping drowning sailors have been common since Roman times. The more we learn about dolphins, the more we realise that their society is more complex than people previously imagined. They look after other dolphins when they are ill, care for pregnant mothers and protect the weakest in the community, as we do.
Some scientists have suggested that dolphins have a language but it is much more probable that they communicate with each other without needing words. Could any of these mammals be more intelligent than man? Certainly, the most common argument in favour of man's superiority over them, that we can kill them more easily than they can kill us, is the least satisfactory. On the contrary, the more we discover about these remarkable creatures, the less we appear superior when we destroy them.
What does the word "them" in bold refer to?
sailors
dolphins
creatures
stories
Dolphins' society is more _______ than we expected.
surprising
extraordinary

Many early ideas about the causes and cures of illness seem ridiculous to us today. Yet in some respects the medicine man of uncivilized tribes used the method for curing sick persons which are known to have had real value.
In the early times when people became ill, they turned for help to the medicine man of the tribe. It was generally believed that sickness was caused by evil spirits, and it was the medicine man's task to drive these bad spirits out of the sick man. To do this, he would try to frighten them away by making loud noises and wearing frightening masks. Usually he would chant magic words, sing special songs, and perform special dances. Nearly always he used a particular kind of plant which was supposed to be a remedy for a particular sickness.
Some of these cures used by the medicine men did help. The plants which these early doctors used were frequently drugs now understood to be medicinal or pain- relieving. The respect and confidence which the people had in their medicine man gave sick persons hope and helped them feel better.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the following questions.
Born on April 15, 1452, Leonardo da Vinci managed to be so many things in one lifetime-painter, engineer, architect and scientist. His painting, Mona Lisa, is one of the world's most famous artworks. And that is just the tip of the iceberg. Da Vinci left behind thousands of pages of writings. Leonardo biographer Martin Kemp estimates that there are roughly 6,000 pages known to be Vinci's works, and these may only be a fraction of what he produced in his lifetime. He wrote in mirror script, which means he started on the right side of the page and moved to the left. It's not known for certain why he did this, but some theories include he was trying to prevent others from discovering and possibly taking his ideas or that it was easier for him to write this way because he was left-handed. In any case, depth and breadth of his work is outstanding.

He used to be a scientist.
Mona Lisa is his only artwork.
