stronger heart. But increasing your strength is not the only advantage of cycling. Because
you’re not carrying the weight of your body on your feet, it’s a good form of exercise for
people with painful feet or backs. However, with all forms of exercise it’s important to start

used to working. If you have any doubts about taking up cycling for health reasons, talk to
your doctor and ask for his/her advice.
Ideally you should be cycling at least two or three times a week. For the exercise to be
doing you good, you should get a little out of breath. Don’t worry that if you begin to lose
your breath, it could be dangerous and there must be something wrong with your heart. This
is simply not true; shortness of breath shows that the exercise is having the right effect.
However, if you find you are in pain then you should stop and take a rest.

II.Read the following passage and answer the following questions. (1,5pt)
Solar energy is a long lasting source of energy which can be used almost anywhere. To
generate solar energy, we only need solar cells and the sun! Solar cells can easily be
installed on house roofs, so no new space is needed and each user can quietly generate their
own energy. Compared to other renewable sources, they also possess many advantages.
Wind and water power rely on turbines which are noisy, expensive and easy to break down.
Solar cells are totally silent and non-polluting. As they have no moving parts, they require
little maintenance and have a long lifetime.
However, solar energy also has some disadvantages. We can only generate solar energy
during daytime because the system depends on sunlight. Besides, solar cells require large
area to work effectively. The main disadvantage of solar energy is that it costs about twice
as much as traditional sources such as coal, oil, and gas. This is because solar cells are
expensive. Scientists are hoping that the costs of solar cells will reduce as more and more
people see the advantages of this environmentally friendly source of energy.
1. What does the passage primarily discuss?
A. Advantages and disadvantages of solar energy.B. Solar energy’s advantages over other
sources of energy.
C. The cost of solar energy. D. Solar energy as an alternative for
fossil fuels.
2. What does the word they in line 4 refer to?
A. solar energy users. B. other renewable resources. C. advantages. D.
solar cells.
3. What is NOT mentioned as an advantage of solar cells?
A. They require little maintenance. B. They are non-polluting.
C. They cost little to produce. D. They operate quietly.
4. Which of the following is NOT a traditional source of energy?
A. solar energy B. oil C. coal D. gas
5. Which of the following is the main disadvantage of solar energy mentioned in the
passage?
A. It is expensive. B. Solar cells require large areas to operate.

Many people now think that teachers give students too much homework. They say that it is
unnecessary for children to work at home in their free time. Moreover, they argue that most
teachers do not properly plan the homework tasks they give to students. The result is that
students have to repeat tasks which they have already done at school.

Most people agree that homework is unfair. A student who can do his homework in a quiet
and comfortable room is in a much better position than a student who does his homework in
a small, noisy room with the television on. Some parents help their children with their
homework. Other parents take no interest at all in their children’s homework.
It is important, however, that teachers talk to parents about homework. A teacher should
suggest suitable tasks for parents to do with their children. Parents are often better at
teaching their own children!

I get a lot of letters at this time of the year from people complaining that they have a
cold which won’t go away. There are so many different stories about how to prevent or cure
a cold that it’s often difficult to know what to do. Although colds are rarely dangerous,
except for people who are already weak, such as the elderly or young babies, they are
always uncomfortable and usually most unpleasant. Of course, you can buy lots of
medicines which will help to make your cold less unpleasant, but you must remember that
nothing can actually cure a cold or make it go away faster. Another thing is that any
medicine which is strong enough to make you feel better could be dangerous if you are
already taking drugs for some other illness so always with your chemist or doctor to see
whether they are all right for you. And remember they might make you sleepy – please

THE TELEPHONE
You may use the telephone every day but how much do you know about it? The telephone
was invented by Alexander Bell in 1876. Bell was born in Scotland in 1847. Later he went
to live in the USA. Bell was always interested
in sound. He wanted to be able to send sound through a wire. He had a workshop in his
house in America and did many experiences there.
One day, he was doing an experiment in his workshop. He was careless and spilt some
burning liquid onto his clothes. Talking into his telephone, Bell said, ‘Mr. Watson, I want
you to come over here immediately, please.’ His assistant, Watson, was in another room far
away from the workshop. However he heard Bell clearly on his own telephone. Quickly, he
ran to Bell’s workshop. ‘Mr. Bell, I heard every word you said!’ Watson shouted excitedly.
Bell had finally succeeded. He had invented the first telephone. Later other inventors made
better ones.
