The Football Match

My brother and I went to a football match yesterday. Our school team was playing
against another High School team. Our team wore red and white shirts, white shorts, and red
stockings. The other team wore orange and black shirts, orange shorts, and black stockings.
“They look like bees“, my brother said, and we laughed. They played like bees too. They ran
very fast, attacked very hard, and passed the ball to each other very fast. Soon they scored their
first goal. My brother and I shouted and shouted, “Come on, Valley School! Come on, the
Valleys!” Our headmaster was near us and he was shouting too. He seemed very enthusiastic.
However, the high school scored another goal. We were very sad.

Then, one of the “bees” stopped the ball with one of his hands, so our team got the free
kick. Our captain took it and scored a goal. We shouted, “Hooray!” The score was now 2:1. That
was better.

Now our team began to play better—or the “bees” were getting tired. Our team scored

Once upon a time there was a poor widow who had an only son amed Jack. They were so poor that they
didn’t have anything except a cow. When the cow had grown too old, his mother sent Jack to the market to
sell it. On the way to the market, Jack met a butcher who had some beautiful beans in his hand. The butcher
told the boy that the beans were of great value and persuaded the silly lad to sell the cow for the beans.
Jack brought them happily. When he told his mother about this, his mother became so angry that she
threw the beans out of the window.
When Jack woke up in the morning, he felt the sun shining into a part of his room, but all the rest
was quite dark and shady.
So he jumped to the window. What did he see? The beanstalk grew up quite close past Jack’s
window. He opened the window and jumped to the beanstalk which ran up just like a big ladder.
He climbed and climbed till at last he reached the sky. While looking around, he saw a very huge
castle. He was very amazed.
Then Jack walked along the path leading to the castle. There was a big tall woman on the doorstep.
Jack greeted her and asked or the giantess’ mercy to give him breakfast, because he was very hungry.

Making an Omelette

This is the way an omelette should be made. It is important that the frying pan should
be proportionate to the number of eggs; in other words, to the size of the omelette. The frying pan
must be made of iron, not of aluminium, tin or enamel. And here I feel I must stress a point
essential to what might be called the background of omelette-making, namely that the frying-pan
must never be washed with water but rubbed, when hot, with salt and tissue–paper, as this is the
only way to prevent sticking. For three portions, we take six eggs, break them into a bowl, season
them with salt and freshly ground pepper, and add a good teaspoonful of water. We beat this lightly
with a fork or the wire–broom, not the whisk, until large bubbles form on the top. This takes half a
minute; it is fatal to beat too long. Meanwhile, our frying pan is getting hot, not too hot, and we
drop in an ounce and a half of butter, or butter and best lard, over a quick flame for a minute or
two, until it gives no more froth and has turned light golden. We give our egg-mixture another stir
and pour it into the fan, letting it spread evenly over the frying–pan. All this is a swift business, and
we may well feel a few extra heart–beats and a little breath lessness at that moment. The flame is
now turned down a little. With a fork or palette-knife (a fork seems to work particularly well) we
loosen the edges of the omelette all round and, once or twice, in the middle, letting the liquid flow
into the empty spaces, taking care always to move towards the middle. This takes about two
minutes. Then, keeping as calm as we possibly can, we fold it. This is easy if we fold over and pin
down with two or three fork-pricks about an inch and-a-half of the omelette along one side. Then,
it is quite easy to roll it into shape. Our omelette should be golden brown outside and wet inside:
baveuse, as the classical French term says. It is then slid on to a hot plate and its surface made
shiny with a little butter. This last touch makes all the difference. (Taken from
www.recipetips.com)

10. What is important about the frying pan?


a. It should be the same size as the omelette
b. It should never be a small one

Driver distraction has always been a problem. Although many activities can potentially divert
driver attention, the cell phone has drawn attention to the issue. The cell phone is a highly
noticeable distraction in the car, which makes it any easy target for restriction. It is easy to spot
a driver with a hand to the ear and know he/she is distracted by a phone call. It may not be so
easy to spot the driver whose mind is elsewhere. During the next few years, states and
researchers will begin to accumulate more information about the implications of mobile phones
and other devices on traffic safety. In the interim, as the quantity of phones and other wireless
communications devices available on the road continues to grow, greater constituent concerns,
local ordinances, and judicial activity will increasingly challenge lawmakers to address driver
distraction as a traffic safety concern. It is likely that cell phones and driving will remain a
significant part of their legislative agendas.

40. What is the most suitable title given for the reading passage?
a. Challenging lawmakers to address driver distractions .
b. Wireless communication devices continue to grow.
c. Lawmakers should ban the use of cell phones.
d. Cell phones and traffic safety.
e. Distractions in driving
