Part E) Reading Comprehension: Passage I (4 points)
It is very important for us to respect our elders. It is also important to note that elders were not born elders; they
were kids like us and now have grown old. A few years hence, we will also grow older. If today we respect
them, our present and future generations will carry those values and will learn to respect us as well when we
grow old.
Elders have a lot to share with us: their life experiences, their failures, their successes and many more. Thus,
we need to care for them because they deserve to be cared for. Respect and care for elders start with our
parents, as they are our first teachers in our life.
No matter what we do in our lives, who we are, and where we live, we must love them as they love us
unconditionally. They feel honored when we appreciate their love and respect them. Therefore, it is our duty to
help them when they need us because they are not young enough to handle things on their own like before.

Part F) Reading Comprehension: Passage II (4 points)
A dictionary is a book which explains the meanings of words and expressions ranging from letters A-Z. You
can find words easily because dictionaries put them in alphabetical order. For instance, a word starting with „w‟
follows a word starting with „v‟ in a dictionary. The word „dictionary‟ comes from the Latin „dictio‟ („saying‟).
There are several types of dictionaries. Dictionaries which explain words and how they are used, dictionaries
which translate words from one language to another, dictionaries of biography which tell about famous people,
and technical dictionaries which explain the meanings of technical words.
Dictionaries which explain what words mean give a clear „definition‟ of them. A good dictionary also gives
more information about words. For instance, it explains how they are pronounced. Usually the International
Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) is used for this purpose.
There are also dictionaries which translate words into other languages. Very often one volume of bilingual
dictionary translates both ways; for example, half of the book is from English to Persian and the other half from
Persian to English.
When using a dictionary to find out how to say something in another language, one has to be careful to
choose the right meaning. A word like „right‟ has several meanings in English, for example, „correct‟ and „the
opposite of left‟. A word like „present‟ may be used as an adjective, meaning „not absent‟, as a noun, meaning
„gift‟ or as a verb, meaning „give‟. Words with different meanings exist in other languages, too. A good
dictionary lists all the meanings of words to help people find the meaning that they look for.
A complete dictionary also tells you about the origin of words and the story behind them. For example, the
words like „pajamas‟, „bazaar‟ and „paradise‟ entered English from Persian.
 Write „T‟ if the statement is True, „F‟ if it is False according to the passage. (2 points)
1. A word starting with „U‟ comes before a word starting with „T‟ in a dictionary. (………)
2. A complete dictionary also tells you about the origin of words and the story behind them. (………)
3. Biographical dictionaries translate words from one language to another. (………)
4. The words „pajamas‟ and „paradise” are not English, originally. (………)
 Scan the passage and answer the following questions. (1 point)

1. What is the origin of the word „dictionary‟?
(………………………………………….................................................................................. ………………….……………………………………………………)
2. How many meanings are mentioned for the word “present” in the text?
(………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….)
 Scan the passage and complete the following sentences. (1 point)
