Read the passage, then choose the correct answer –A, B, C, or D. ROUTINES Think about your daily life. Do you follow the same routine work every day? Do you sit in the same place in class? When you get dressed, do you always put the same leg or arm in first? You probably do, because we all have routines in our lives. Routines save time and energy because you do them without thinking, that’s why they are so important in the morning when your brain isn’t active. Here’s Jo talking about her morning routine. ‘Oh yes. I always do exactly the same things. I wake up at seven o’clock every morning, but I don’t get quarter past seven. I switch on the radio and listen to the news. Then I go to the loo and I brush my- teeth. I have a shower and dry my hair. Then I choose my clothes and I get dressed. I don’t eat anything for breakfast. I just have a cup of coffee. Then I go to work. Yes, it’s always the same.’ Routines are very useful but they also make you uncreative. So sometimes it’s a good idea to break your routines. Get out of bed on the opposite side. Listen to a different radio station. Take a different route to work. Eat something different for breakfast. Change your routine. You never know, it could change your life. 51.

Read the passage then choose the correct answer A, B, C, or D to answer the questions. Last week I made the mistake of visiting the village where I grew up. It was a small, friendly community with two farms and a number of old cottages round the village green. I realized very quickly that although in many ways it appears unchanged, in reality hardly anything is the same. All the pretty cottages are there, of course, and both the picturesque farmhouses. But none of the inhabitants are country people. All of them are commuters, who leave early every morning for the nearby town. Neither of the farmhouses is attached to a farm these days; the land has been sold and is managed by somebody in an office somewhere who has little interest in the village itself. There are a few new houses, but they have no local character; you can see the same style anywhere in the country. The whole of the village, in fact, has been tidied up so much that it has become nothing more than just another suburb. 51. The writer___ A. like living in a farmhouse. B. used to live in a cottage. C. grew up in a small rural community. D. came back from the village. 52. When he revisited his village, he quickly realized that A. the village changed a lot in appearance.

But, let’s lơơk at the other side of the story – How many sharks do people kill? Well I think you already know this: People kill many more sharks. Every year, people hunt and kill thousands of sharks. One reason people kill sharks is for sport; they hunt them just for fun. Some people started to have contests to see who kill the most sharks or he bigger sharks. Another reason that people kill sharks is for food. In some countries, such as the United States and Great Britain, shark meat is a popular food. In other countries, such as China, people use shark fins to make soup. Because so many people like to eat shark, fishing boats catch a lot of sharks to sell for food. So, for both of these reasons, people are killing many sharks. Some biologists are getting wơrried that the number ơf sharks is getting tơơ small. That’s why many biơlơgists think we shơuld stop killing so many sharks, and instead try to protect them – or else some day they may all be gone. Some countries have already passed some laws to help protect sharks. The United States, for example, has passed laws that limit the number of sharks that people can kill or food or for sport. So even though some people like to hunt sharks, we do need to protect them. 46. How many sharks are hunted and killed every year? A. one hundred B. many C. five to ten D. thousands 47. People want to kill sharks because___. A. they are afraid of sharks B. shark meat is a popular food C. they get their enjoyment from killing sharks. D. b and c are correct. 48. The number of sharks in the world is___. A. getting worried by some biologists. B. being killed C. getting bigger D. getting smaller. 49. Why do billowing wants to protect sharks? A. Because they want to learn more about sharks. B. Because they are afraid someday sharks may no longer exist. C. Because of the number of sharks that were killed D. Because sharks fins can be used in medicine. 50. Which of the following is not mentioned in the passage? A. People like to hunt sharks. C. The governments prohibited people from killing sharks. B. Laws have been passed in sharks’ defense. D. People are killing many sharks for some reasons. VIII.
