Questions 12 and 13 are based on the following monolog.

Columbia, on mission STS-107, left Earth for the last time on 16th January 2003. At the time, the
shuttle program was focused on building the International Space Station. However, STS-107 stood
apart as it emphasized pure research.
The seven-member crew—Rick Husband, commander; Michael Anderson, payload commander;
David Brown, mission specialist; William McCool, pilot; Ilan Ramon, payload specialist from the Israeli
Space Agency—spent 24 hours a day doing science experiments in two shifts. They performed
around 80 experiments in life sciences, material sciences, fluid physics, and other materials.
On 1st February 2003, the shuttle made its usual landing approach to the Kennedy Space Centre.
Just before 9 a.m. EST, however, abnormal readings showed up at Mission Control. They lost
temperature readings from sensors located on the left wing. Then, tire pressure readings from the
left side also vanished.
It was found out that space shuttle Columbia broke up as it returned to Earth, killing seven
astronauts on board. NASA suspended space shuttle flights for more than two years as it investigated
the disaster.

Questions 14 and 15 are based on the following monolog.
There was a farmer who went to the rice field and returned home always passing through a
forest. One afternoon when he was on his way home, he heard groaning, “Is anybody there? Please
help me.”
Without fear, the farmer approached the sound and found a wounded deer. “Help me, Sir. A
hunter hit my hind leg with his arrow. Save me, Sir,” the deer said. The farmer was surprised to find
that the deer could talk.
Without wasting time, he carried the deer home. He treated the wound, gave it food and let it
lie on his bed. He looked after it lovingly. Suddenly, it transformed into a handsome young man who
turned out to have been condemned because of his mischief. He curse would end if there was a
person who could take care of it sincerely.
The young man told the farmer that he was a prince and he would return to the palace. He
invited the farmer and his family to go with him, to stay at the palace. Since then, the prince became
a good and caring young man.
