Texting gets a bad press. Whether it’s because some people are foolish enough to attempt texting while they’re

III. Read the passage below and choose the best answer to each question (1.0 point)
We find that bright children are rarely held back by mixed-ability teaching. On the contrary, both their
knowledge and experience are enriched. We feel that there are many disadvantages in streaming pupils. It does
not take into account the fact that children develop at different rates. It can have a bad effect on both the bright
and the not-so-bright child. After all, it can be quite discouraging to be at the bottom of the top grade!
Besides, it is rather unreal to grade people just according to their intellectual ability. This is only one aspect of
their total personality. We are concerned to develop the abilities of all our pupils to the full, not just their
academic ability. We also value personal qualities and social skills, and we find that mixed-ability teaching
contributes to all these aspects of learning.

pg. 6
In our classrooms, we work in various ways. The pupils often work in groups: this gives them the opportunity to
learn to co-operate, to share, and to develop leadership skills. They also learn how to cope with personal
problems as well as learning how to think, to make decisions, to analyze and evaluate, and to communicate
effectively. The pupils learn from each other as well as from the teachers.
Sometimes the pupils work in pairs; sometimes they work on individual tasks and assignments, and they can do
this at their own speed. They also have some formal class teaching when this is appropriate. We encourage our
pupils to use the library, and we teach them the skills they need in order to do this effectively. An advanced
pupil can do advanced work; it does not matter what age the child is. We expect our pupils to do their best, not
their least, and we give them every encouragement to attain this goal.

1. The words “held back” in 1st paragraph means “______”.

A. prevented from advancing B. forced to study in lower classes
C. made to lag behind in study D. made to remain in the same classes
2. In the passage, the author’s attitude towards “mixed-ability teaching” is ______.
A. objective B. approving C. questioning D. critical
3. The author argues that a teacher’s chief concern should be the development of the pupils’ ______.
A. learning ability and communicative skills B. intellectual abilities
C. total personality D. personal and social skills
4. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?
A. Group work provides the pupils with the opportunity to learn to be capable organizers.
B. Pupils also learn how to participate in teaching activities.
C. Pupils also learn to develop their reasoning ability.
D. Group work gives pupils the opportunity to learn to work together with others.

A. recommend pair work and group work classroom activities
B. argue for teaching bright and not-so-bright pupils in the same class
C. offer advice on the proper use of the school library
D. emphasize the importance of appropriate formal classroom teaching
6. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT TRUE?
A. Pupils cannot develop in the best way if they are streamed into classes of different intellectual abilities.
B. There is no fixed method in teaching pupils to develop themselves to the full.
C. Development of pupils as individuals is not the aim of group work.
D. It’s not good for a bright child to find out that he performs worst in a mixed-ability class.
7. According to the passage, which of the following is an advantage of mixed-ability teaching?
A. Pupils as individuals always have the opportunities to work on their own.
B. Formal class teaching is the important way to give the pupils essential skills such as those to be used in the
library.
C. A pupil can be at the bottom of a class.
D. Pupils can be hindered from an all-round development.
8. Which of the following statements can best summarize the main idea of the passage?
A. Children, in general, develop at different rates.
B. Bright children do benefit from mixed-class teaching.
C. Various ways of teaching should be encouraged in class.
D. The aim of education is to find out how to teach the bright and not-so-bright pupils.
9. According to the passage, “streaming pupils” _____.
A. is quite discouraging
B. aims at enriching both their knowledge and experience
C. will help the pupils learn best
D. is the act of putting pupils into classes according to their academic abilities

pg. 7
10. According to the author, mixed-ability teaching is more preferable because ______.
A. it doesn’t have disadvantages as in streaming pupils
B. it aims at developing the children’s total personality
C. children can learn to work with each other to solve personal problems
D. formal class teaching is appropriate

Blue-footed Boobies 2
A Boobies are a small group of seabirds native to tropical and subtropical oceans throughout the world. Their
diet consists mainly of fish. They are specialized fish eaters feeding on small school fish like sardines,
anchovies, mackerel, and flying fish. When their prey is in sight, they fold their long wings back around their
streamlined bodies and plunge into the water from as high as 80 feet, so streamlined they barely make a splash.
They travel in parties of about 12 to areas of water with large schools of small fish. When the lead bird sees a
fish shoal in the water, it will signal the rest of the group and they will all dive together. Surprisingly,
individuals do not eat with the hunting group, preferring to eat on their own, usually in the early morning or late
afternoon.
B There are three varieties on the Galapagos: the blue-footed, red-footed, and masked boobies. They are all
members of the same family, and are not only different in appearance but also in behaviours. The blue-footed
and red-footed boobies mate throughout the year, while the masked boobies have an annual mating cycle that
differs from island to island. All catch fish in a similar manner, but in different areas: the blue-footed booby
does its fishing close to shore, while the masked booby goes slightly farther out, and the red-footed booby fishes
at the farthest distances from shore.
C Although it is unknown where the name “Booby” emanates from, some conjecture it may come from the
Spanish word for clown, “bobo”, meaning “stupid”. Its name was probably inspired by the bird’s clumsiness on
land and apparently unwarranted bravery. The blue footed booby is extremely vulnerable to human visitors

pg. 8
because it does not appear to fear them. Therefore these birds received such name for their clumsiness on land in
which they were easily, captured, killed, and eaten by humans.
D The blue-footed booby’s characteristic feet play a significant part in their famous courtship ceremony, the
‘booby dance’. The male walks around the female, raising his bright blue feet straight up in the air, while
bringing his ‘shoulders’ towards the ground and crossing the bottom tips of his wings high above the ground.
Plus he’ll raise his bill up towards the sky to try to win his mate over. The female may also partake in these
activities – lifting her feet, sky pointing, and of course squawking at her mate. After mating, another ritual
occurs – the nest-building which ironically is never used because they nest on the bare ground. When the female
is ready to lay her eggs, they scrape the existing nest away so she can nest on exposed ground. Sun-baked
islands form the booby’s breeding grounds. When ready the female Blue Footed Booby lays one to three eggs.
E After mating, two or three eggs are laid in a shallow depression on flat or gently sloping ground. Both male
and female take turns incubating the eggs. Unlike most birds, booby doesn’t develop brood patches (areas of
bare skin on the breast) to warm the eggs during incubation. Instead, it uses its broad webbed feet, which have
large numbers of prominent blood vessels, to transmit heat essential for incubation. The eggs are thick-shelled so
they can withstand the full weight of an incubating bird.
F After hatching, the male plays a major role in bringing fish home. He can bring back a constant supply of
small fish for the chicks, which must be fed continuously. The reason is that the male has a longer tail than the
female in relation to his body size, which makes him able to execute shallower dives and to feed closer to shore.
Then the female takes a greater part as time proceeds. Sooner or later, the need to feed the young becomes
greater than the need to protect them and both adults must fish to provide enough.
G When times are good, the parents may successfully fledge all three chicks, but, in harder times, they may
still lay as many eggs yet only obtain enough food to raise one. The problem is usually solved by the somewhat
callous-sounding system of “opportunistic sibling murder.” The first-born chick is larger and stronger than its
nest mate(s) as a result of hatching a few days earlier and also because the parents feed the larger chick. If food
is scarce, the first born will get more food than its nest mate(s) and will outcompete them, causing them to
starve. The above system optimizes the reproductive capacity of the blue-foot in an unpredictable environment.
The system ensures that, if possible, at least one chick will survive a period of shortage rather than all three
dying of starvation under a more ‘humane’ system.
