YOUNG LEGENDS, WITTY KIDS

On Monday last, December 18, 2017 while Shihab and Liton were playing together they noticed some broken rail trucks.
They became curious but worried thinking about what would happen if there came any train.
They were talking about probable accident. In the meantime, they could hear the whistle of a train. They were in a fix
what to do. As it was winter, one of the boys was wearing red neck-clothes. They had an idea to make the neck-clothes a
red flag.
The train was approaching. They quickly held the two ends of the neck-clothes and began to wave it. They became tensed
and nervous but remained brave. The driver of the train noticed it and confusingly stopped the train instantly. The driver
came down and realized the matter. He became astonished to think about the situation.
The driver reported the matter to the railway authority. The rail officials came to the spot. They could not but praise the
brave and witty kids. The good and brave deed of Shihab and Liton has spread all around the country.

“God Almighty be praised, the food is still warm,”
was all I could say after we arrived at our
grandfather’s apartment, completely unaware of
the danger from which we had just escaped. Five
cents awaited each of us!
As an adult, I sometimes look back on that
eventful day. I now know what my young mind
could not understand then: it is impossible to go
through life without hardship and struggles being
thrown at you. They come when you least think
they would, like when you are happily walking
down a street and bullets start flying at you. You
can try to avoid them all you want, but if you are
alive, they will keep coming, from all directions.
Sure, you might get wounded, but you just have to
bandage your wounds, pick yourself up and start
walking again.
16) From the extract, we could summarize that:
A) They were paid five cents to go through
all of those hardships
B)Their grandfather is in danger
C) Hardships were meant to go through

There are several ways to study. However, I do not
condone highlighting the text, summarizing your
lectures, or re-reading it. There are so many ways
to study, yet you chose one of these? If you ask
me, I would definitely use online cue cards such as
ANKI, which is administered by one of the best
study teams on Earth! Besides that, I would
prepare a book for my essays. I would spend only
1 day to do research on a particular topic, then it
would be memorised after being written into a
book. A small test after every reading helps too.
One study shows that students score more on
average if they did mini test compared to re-
reading the text. The Study Revolution, happens
now and now only. (By a Cambridge student)
21) The following statements are true,
except:
A) Highlighting the summarized text helps to
increase the retention rate.
B) ANKI is favoured by the Cambridge
student.
C) Rereading the text is less effective
compared to doing mini tests.
D) 1day research for an essay topic is
enough
22) The objective of the text is to:
A) attract students to study
B) kick off the Study Revolution
C) educate the people about study methods
that are efficient

Checkpoint 2
Crossrail 2 would serve stations throughout the South East, linking south west and north east London, as well
as destinations across Surrey and Hertfordshire.

Stations in Surrey, Hertfordshire and the Capital would have direct Crossrail 2 services but the benefits would
be felt far beyond the route. Crossrail 2 would benefit towns and cities across the South East such as
Cambridge, Portsmouth, Woking and Southampton by freeing up mainline rail routes and reducing congestion
into Waterloo and Liverpool Street. Towns and cities across the region would benefit from faster or more
frequent journeys into London on both Crossrail 2 trains and National Rail services into other mainline stations.

Crossrail 2 would help relieve congestion on busy routes into central London and support economic
development in and around the capital, specifically targeting some key opportunity areas, such as the Upper
Lea Valley, Victoria and Euston and St Pancras.

It would create better connections across the South East and the whole country, with a new Euston / St Pancras
station providing direct access to the new High Speed 2 line, Thameslink and Eurostar services.

1) Which of the following is a false statement?

A) Euston/St Pancras station would be a major transport hub
B) Crossrail 2 connects Cambridge to central London
C) Upper Lea Valley will have the chance to be developed under Crossrail 2
D) Liverpool Street would be less congested after Crossrail 2 started

2) The main idea of the text is:

A) The benefits of Crossrail 2
