C. READING COMPREHENSION
1. Read the text and choose the correct answer.
Singapore’s laws
If you spend time in another country, it’s always a good idea to find out how to behave there and what the
local laws are. It will help you to show respect towards the citizens of the country and even more
importantly, it will help you to stay out of trouble! This advice is especially useful in Singapore, a small
country in south-east Asia which is famous for its modern buildings, its hard-working people, its delicious
and unusual food and its very, very strict laws.
Many of Singapore’s citizens believe that respecting the place where you live, work and study is important.
The streets of their crowded city centres are clean and tidy, and everybody behaves well in public. This is
because Singapore’s laws are designed to make sure that everything in Singapore is perfect! So, a lot of
things that people often do in other countries are crimes in Singapore. For example, if you smoke in public,
drop litter in the street, eat or drink on the metro, or walk across the road without finding an official place to
cross, you’ll get into serious trouble. You’ll probably face a big fine. You may also have to do work in the
community, for example picking up rubbish or cleaning a park. And the punishment for acts of vandalism,
such as graffiti, is severe. It’s possible that the police will punish you by hitting you with a stick. In most
countries, it’s unlikely that you’ll be arrested and punished for committing a small crime, but in Singapore
there is zero tolerance towards any offence.
Singapore even has laws against things that many people don’t even think are crimes at all. For example, if
you start chewing gum in the street or on the metro, everyone will look at you because it is a very rude thing
to do. In fact, it’s illegal to sell chewing gum in any of Singapore’s shops, and if someone brings the product
into the country in large quantities and tries to sell it, the police will arrest them. And, if you go to the
bathroom in a public place, and forget to flush the toilet, you might find yourself in trouble. The fine for not
flushing the toilet is 500 Singapore dollars – over 300 euros – and that’s a lot of money!
Like other countries in south-east Asia, people in Singapore are very careful about how they behave in public
places. It’s not illegal to hold hands or kiss in the street, but it is very impolite, and if you visit the country,
this is something you should avoid doing. And, if you are left-handed, you shouldn’t greet people with your
left hand, or eat with it.
Despite its strict laws, however, Singapore is an exciting place to visit, and the people are very friendly and
welcoming. Just remember to behave!

There are some school rules that 1____ understands. For example, we all know that it’s dangerous to run in
