Safety on the roads
Every day many road accidents happen in Hong Kong. Some accidents cause injuries but some lead to death. Everyone, especially children, must learn how to cross the road. A simple code to remember is "STOP, LOOK and LISTEN BEFORE YOU CROSS".
The Transport Department organizes road safety campaigns every year in order to reduce traffic accidents. Parents and teachers should educate children on road safety. Most schools have their own School Road Safety Patrols. The School Road Safety Patrol is a uniformed group. It recruits secondary school students as members. Students at senior forms help fellow students cross the road correctly and safely on their way to and from school.
When you go out alone, however, what is the best way to cross the road? First, you must find a safe place to cross. There may be subways, footbridges, zebra or green man crossing. Of course, it is safest to be directed by a policeman. Then you should stand on the pavement where you can see clearly all the directions, look round for the traffic and listen. If a car is coming, you ought to let it pass. When there is no traffic near, walk straight across the road. Do not run as you may trip!
Roads are dangerous. However, if everyone takes care when crossing the road, there will be fewer traffic accidents. Our transport system will then become safer and more efficient.
36. Who must learn how to cross the road safety?
A. Children and their parents. B. Everyone, especially teachers
C. Those injured in road accidents D. Everyone who uses the road.

A. schools ... help their School Road Safety Patrols.
B. the Transport Department ... cut down their number of road accidents.
C. traffic warders ... direct students to cross the road.

A. It accepts school teachers as members.
B. Its duty is to participate in Road Safety Campaigns.
C. You need not wear a uniform if you join.
D. Patrol members direct students to cross the road correctly.
39. According to the writer, what will happen if everyone is more careful in using the road?
A. There will be no more traffic accidents.
B. Our transport system will not be safe.
C. Fewer traffic accidents will happen
D. The roads will be widened.
40. When you cross the roads, it is safest to be directed by....
A. parents B. teachers C. policemen D. senior students

Students should be allowed to study without worrying about grades. Fortunately, most educators are becoming aware of the fact that students have different interests and abilities. However, the regimentation resulting from grades still exists. Grades often stifle creativity. Competing for better grades causes many students to turn down opportunities to pursue music, dramatics and sports. Grades impose an arbitrary standard of success on everyone. I do not demand as some extremists do, that grades be abolished immediately. However, I do believe that less emphasis should be placed on grades, I hope that someday grades will become optional at Village High School.

Fast Food Facts
There are more than 300,000 fast food restaurants in the U.S. Why is fast food so popular? Because it's convenient, predictable, and fast. Fast food has become a part of the busy American lifestyle. But nutrition experts point out, fast food is often high in calories, sodium, fat and cholesterol. This does not mean fast food is bad. But it does mean you should fit fast food into a balanced, healthy diet.

It is not well understood why some people can eat much more than others and still maintain a desirable weight.

This means that you must either choose foods with fewer calories, or you must increase your physical activity, preferably both. Most Americans get more than 40 percent of their daily calories from fat, the American Heart Association recommends limiting fat to less than 50- 80 grams per day. Fast food meals can be high in calories, fat, sodium, and cholesterol. See an example on how easily these red-flag items can add up.

PETS
Mane people like to keep pets. Dogs and cats are very popular pets. Some people, however, keep birds or goldfish. They need less space and are easier to look after.
If you want to have a pet, you can buy one from a pet shop but you must be careful to buy a sick animal. It is best if you know something about the pet you want. This helps you choose a healthy pet. However if you do not have much money and know very little about animals, you can visit the Royal Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA).
The first Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals was founded in England in 1821. It was set up to make sure that all animals are treated with kindness. The RSPCA in Hong Kong carries out this aim. The RSPCA officers collect animals which have no homes and are left in the street. They look after them until they are healthy again. People visiting the RSPCA may choose their pets from these animals and you can be sure that you will get a healthy pet. If later your pet becomes ill, you can take it to the doctors at RSPCA for treatment.
When you have a pet, it is very important that you look after it properly. You must remember to feed it at suitable times. You should also give it a clean and comfortable place to rest. Your pet will be happy and healthy if you love it and care for it properly.
36. Many people love to....
A. own a pet shop B. keep pets C. look after sick pets D. buy and sell pets
37. According to the passage, what kind of pet needs more space?
A. A dog B. A bird C. A goldfish D. A mouse
38. What can help you choose a healthy pet?

39. The first society for the Prevention of Cruelty for Animals was founded....
A. in 1924 B. more than 1000 years ago
C. in England D. in 1842

Part 3: Reading
Read the passages below and choose the correct answer among A, B, C or D.
One of the most dangerous drugs for pregnant women to consume is alcohol . Because alcohol. Because alcohol is delivered quickly into the blood and passes quickly into the tissues and membranes, the human fetus is particularly vulnerable to its effects. In fact, the negative effects on a fetus are so pronounced that babies born after exposure to alcohol are said to be suffering from fetal alcohol syndrome.
As a pregnant woman drinks alcohol, the alcohol is passed into her bloodstream almost simultaneously. Moreover, because the bloodstream of the fetus is inextricably tied to that of the mother, the alcohol passes directly into the bloodstream of the fetus as well. And what is more, the concentration of alcohol in the fetus is exactly the same as in the mother. For the mother, this concentration is not a problem because her liver can remove one ounce of alcohol from her system per hour. However, the fetus's liver is not completely developed (how developed it is depends on its stage of development). The rate at which it is able to eliminate the alcohol from the blood of the fetus is much slower. Eventually, the alcohol will be returned to the mother's system by passing across the placenta, but this process is slow. By the time this takes place, major neurological damage may have already occurred. Research has shown that as little as one drink of alcohol can produce significant, irreversible damage to the fetus. Babies born after exposure to alcohol generally exhibit facial distortion, inability to concentrate, and difficulty in remembering. Simply speaking, it is imperative that pregnant women avoid alcohol.

Part 3: Reading

The Polygraph
When we tell lies, we usually fear getting caught. This fear causes small changes in our bodies. Our hearts beat more quickly, our blood flows faster and we breathe harder. A machine called a polygraph or lie detector, measures these changes. It can tell if a person is lying. Police often use lie detectors to question suspects. Companies use polygraphs to screen people for jobs or to investigate theft. However, people cannot be forced to take lie detector tests. The person being tested wears an arm band that attaches to the polygraph. At first the person is asked simple questions such as. "What is your name?" From answers to these types of questions, the machine measures the person's normal body activity. If a person tells the truth there is little or no change in the polygraph. Later, the questions, the machine measure the person's normal body activity. If a person tells the truth there is little or no change in the polygraph. Later, the questions are more pointed. They focus more and more on what the tester really wants to know. If the answers cause a large change on the polygraph it may mean the person is lying. Polygraphs are not always right. They sometimes measure changes a person might feel even when telling the truth.
This is especially true when the tester has not been trained to ask questions the right way. People can sometimes learn to control their emotions and fool the lie detector, too. Still, polygraphs are very useful in many kinds of police work.

Halloween Fun by Makoto Nakazawa
Halloween is one of the most famous holidays in the U.S, and it is on October 31. People carve pumpkins and make funny faces on them. These are called "Jack -O- Lanterns". On October 31, children wear a special costume such as a witch, ghost, or clown. They go to many houses and they knock on the door saying, "Trick or Treat!" It means that if people don't give them a treat, they will play some kind of trick on the household. So, usually people give candy to them.
I carved my first Halloween pumpkin at my Friendship Family's house. First, I cut open the top of the pumpkin and pulled the seeds out. It was not good for me because it was sticky and smelled bad. I had never carved a pumpkin, so it was interesting for me. Next, I carved the eyes and the mouth. I wanted to make a face like a pirate. When I finished making the face, I put a candle inside. It was very beautiful, so I was happy.
I had a good experience because I learned one new idea about American culture by taking part in it. I think Halloween is an interesting American holiday which involves all family members and neighbors too!

Immigrants Suffer from Losing Their Identity by Howard Kim
Language is a way to communicate with each other. We started to learn language when we were born. However, people are used to speaking their native language, so immigrants are having many problems between the first generation and the second generation because they don't have the same native language. Also, the second generation is losing their identity. Especially in America, there are many immigrants that came from different countries to succeed in the States. Because they suffer in lots of areas such as getting a job and trying to speak English, they want their children to speak English, not only at school, but also at home in order to be more successful. Because of this situation, their children are losing their ethnic identity and even more, they are ignoring their parents whose English is not very good.
For example, my aunt, who has been living in Chicago for fifteen years, has three children and they were all born in the States. The eighteen-year-old daughter speaks English as a native language and she speak Korean very well, too. She has no problems talking with her parents, but she still doesn't understand Korean jokes, and there are sometimes misunderstandings. The second daughter is fourteen years old, and she doesn't want to speak Korean. My aunt often gets upset with her because she is very Americanized and they cannot understand each other. Even when my aunt punishes her, this daughter does not understand what my aunt is talking about. I felt sympathy for my aunt whenever my fourteen year old cousin said. "Mom, what is your problems?". The third child is a twelve year old son. He speaks English to his parents and my aunt speaks Korean to him as she does to the second daughter. He also has a problem communicating with his parents. My aunt is trying to teach him to speak both languages very well, but it is very hard for him because he speaks English all day and does not understand why he should learn to speak Korean.
We must realize that language is important and valuable for many reasons. Immigrants should make and effort not to be ignored by their children and to make their children understand their heritage by teaching them the parent's language. This is very important, not only for the harmony of the family, but also in helping the second generations establish their identity.
36. Look at the title and scan the article quickly. What do you think this article will be about?
A. Learning a second language
B. Immigrants who become sick in the U.S
C. Language and its effect on the identity of immigrants
D. Schools attended by immigrants to the U.S

A. Second generation immigrants are usually eager to learn their parent's native language.
B. It is often hard for first and second-generation family members to communicate with each other.
C. Because second-generation immigrant children often speak only English, they may lose their ethnic identity.
D. Sometimes second-generation immigrant children ignore their parents because of language differences.
38. Which of the following is NOT true about the 18-year-old daughter?
A. She was born in the U.S
B. She speaks only English very well; her Korean is poor.
C. She gets along better with her parents than her brother and other sister do.

Part 3: Reading

The novelist Robert Herrick was born in Cambridge, Massachusetts, on April 26, 1868. His oldest American ancestor, a nephew of the author of Hesperidins, had settled at Salem in 1638; he was related to the Hales, the Mannings, the Hawthornes, and the Peabodys; his immediate forebears were lawyers, teachers, and clergymen. His teaching began at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, but William Rainey Harper lured him to the new University of Chicago, where he remained officially for exactly a generation and where his students in advanced composition found him terrifyingly frigid in the classroom but sympathetic and understanding in their personal conferences. During his later years the spot of earth dearest to his heart was York Village, Maine, but after his retirement from teaching he brought his career to a rather amazing close as government secretary of the Virgin islands.

Part 3: Reading
Read the passages below and choose the correct answer among A, B, C or D.
The Montessori method of educating children is guided by perhaps a half-dozen major principles of education. The first affirms the biological programming of child development, the child's capacity for self- realization, for "auto-education". The second calls for "scientific pedagogy". A science of childhood based on observation. The third demands a natural environment in which self-development can be expressed and observed. Montessori believed that the school could be made into such an environment, thus becoming a laboratory for scientific pedagogy. This environment should be determined scientifically. In order to expand, children, left at liberty to exercise their activities, ought to find in their surroundings something organized in direct relation to the children's internal organization. All of these principles imply the next, which Montessori calls the "biological concept of liberty in pedagogy": the child must be free to act spontaneously and to interact with the prepared environment. The entire program is concerned with the individual child; the spontaneity, the needs, the observation, the freedom are always those of the individual. Finally, the modus operandi of the method is sensory training.

Part 3: Reading
Read the passages below and choose the correct answer among A, B, C or D.
The government published a report yesterday saying that we need to eat more healthily- more fruits and vegetables, less fat and sugar. So that means fewer burgers, chips and fried food as well as cutting down on sweet things. We went into central London yesterday at lunchtime and asked people what they though about it. "It's got nothing to do with the government what I eat", says Paul Keel, a building worker, as he eats a beef burger and chips washed down with strawberry milkshake. "I think I have a healthy diet. You see, I don't normally eat a beef burger for lunch. Normally I just have chips. "Any fish?" I like cod. But I've only ever had it once". Tim Kennor, a librarian, welcome the government advice. But he also has his own rules. "I think", he explains, eating his fried chicken and chips, "it's important to eat a variety of food". We then asked Dorothy Matthews, aged 84. "I don't think it's the government's business to tell us what to eat." We went into Simpson's Restaurant and asked the manager if people changed what they were eating. "I don't think people believe all these reports anymore. What they say good for you in June, they say is bad for you in July. People have stopped taking notice. We serve what we're always served. Almost all of it is fattening".

The tooth decay
In most animals, dental decay is a rare problem. In man, and especially in the affluent West, the disease has reached epidemic proportions.
The cause of tooth decay in human beings is a bacterium that feeds on the sugar in our food. It digests the sugar more easily by converting it into an acid. The acid then dissolves the enamel , the outer coating of the teeth and finally attacks the living nerve within. The result is the agonizing pain we know as toothache.

Part 3: Reading
Read the passages below and choose the correct answer among A, B, C or D.
I get a lot of letters at this time of 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 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 check with your chemist or doctor to see whether they are all right for you. And remember they might make you sleep- please don't try to drive if they do! Lastly, as far as avoiding colds is concerned, whatever you may be told about magic foods or drinks, the best answer is to keep strong and healthy- you'll have less chance of catching a cold, and if you do, it shouldn't be so bad!

C. by medications D. use magic foods and drinks

We had a bit of an argument but they obviously didn't have enough rooms. In the end the manager phoned other hotels in the town and found rooms for everyone but in four different hotels.
