II. READING
Passage 1: Read the passage and choose True or False for each statement.
Seventy-five percent of university students in the US live away from home, and most of them live off campus. Many share a house or apartment with other students. But
how do you know who to share with? It can be a difficult decision. Are you quiet, serious, shy, and hardworking? Or are you outgoing, fun-loving, and noisy? It's an
important difference, and it can make sharing an apartment either a great experience or a nightmare.
So next time you're trying to decide who to live with, take this questionnaire. And then ask your possible roommates to take it. If you give the same answers to four or more
questions, then you'll be fine. If more than three of your answers are different, then you need to find a new roommate!
Statements:
A. True B. False
A. True B. False
A. True B. False
A. True B. False
A. True B. False
A. True B. False
When I was a teenager, I went on vacation with my parents to the Gulf Coast in Texas. My parents rented a fabulous house on the beach, and the weather was great. But I
was 17, and I didn't want to be on vacation with my mom and dad and my little brother. I wanted to be with my friends. We went to the beach every day and sunbathed, and
we went to a fantastic seafood restaurant for my birthday. But I was miserable and hated every minute of it. I didn't smile once in two weeks. What really made me furious
was that my parents let my older sister, who was 19, go to Mexico with her friends.

I'm from Rome, and the summer here is really hot. So last year my husband and I decided to go to Sweden, to escape from the heat. We booked a 10-day vacation in
Stockholm, where the temperature in the summer is normally about 20 degrees centigrade. But when we got to Stockholm, there was a heat wave, and it was 35°C every
day. It was awful because there was no air-conditioning anywhere. We couldn't sleep at night — it was boiling in the hotel, and in the stores and museums, too. We didn't
want to go shopping or go sightseeing or do anything. We were too hot. We just sat in cafes and argued all day. We didn't need to go to Sweden to do that.
Three years ago I broke up with my boyfriend, and I decided to go on vacation by myself to the Seychelles. My travel agent told me that it was a wonderful place. But he
didn't tell me it was also a very popular place for people on their honeymoon. Everywhere I looked, I saw couples holding hands and looking romantically into each other's
eyes! The travel agent also said it was always sunny there - but the weather was terrible - it was cloudy and windy. To pass the time, I decided to take a diving course (one
of my lifetime ambitions). But it was a complete disaster because the first time I went under the water, I had a panic attack. I couldn't escape from the island, so I spent an

Passage 4:
San Francisco International Airport is 14 miles south of the city. Travel time to downtown San Francisco during rush hour is about 40 minutes; at other times it’s about 20-
25 minutes.
BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit, the San Francisco subway, www.bart.gov) began running from the airport to the city in 2003. This new route avoids traffic and costs about
$6 each way, depending on exactly where you’re going. Trains leave approximately every 20 minutes.
TAXIS from the airport to downtown San Francisco cost $30 to $35, plus tip (around 15% of the fare).
AIRPORT BUSES leave from outside the baggage claim area every 30 minutes. No reservations are needed. They stop at several hotels near Union Square, including the
Grand Hyatt, the San Francisco Hilton, and The Palace Hotel. For the return trip, the buses pick up at hotels as early as 5:30 a.m. Make a reservation 24 hours in advance if
possible. The cost per person is $10 one way, $15 round trip; children under 12 are free.
Dr. Bouchard is convinced that genes are probably much more important in determining our personality and preferences than people used to think.

Passage 5:
A hard lesson
My name is Jon, and this happened to me when I was on vacation in Seville, in the south of Spain.
I was having coffee in a café when a man came up to me. He was well-dressed, and he looked very respectable. “Do you speak English?” he asked. He definitely wasn’t
Spanish, but I’m not sure where he was from. “I’m very sorry to bother you, but I have a serious problem,” he continued. “I’m here on a business trip, and I’ve lost my
briefcase – it had my passport, my wallet, my money, my credit cards, my cell phone, my address book, everything. Could you help me? I need to borrow 60 euros to get the
train to Madrid – my company has an office there. I’ll pay you back, of course. When I get home, I’ll send you the money. You can give me your address in the US.” I
wasn’t sure, but he didn’t seem suspicious, so I agreed. I wrote down my home address on a business card he had, and I gave him 60 euros. I even bought him a coffee.
We talked for a few minutes, and then he looked at his watch and said “Well, I should get to the station. Thank you very much for your help. You’ll have your money back
So … Do you think he paid me back? No, you’re right, he didn’t … and I won’t lend money to strangers again!

Passage 6:
San Francisco is a very cool place. It's the home of the original hippies, and it's full of friendly, relaxed people. It's also one of the US's most attractive cities.
Facing the Pacific Ocean to the west and San Francisco Bay to the north and east, it's famous for its hills with their fantastic views of the Bay, and its beautiful bridges. It's a
perfect base for a vacation, close to Napa Valley, home of the California wine industry, and a few hours' drive from scenic Lake Tahoe.
The best way to explore San Francisco is on foot. Walk slowly through North Beach, with its relaxed European charm, then into busy Chinatown. Go up expensive Nob
Hill, and then continue onto South Market and the Mission District, with their many nightclubs. San Francisco is famous for its relaxed lifestyle, and it has some of the most
