Question 2: Choose the most suitable heading from the list A-H for each part (1-6) of the
article There is an example at the beginning (0).
A In investment to get excited about
B There's money to be made
C The two winners
D Even winners can be losers
E Cutting down the risk
F A popular pastime in Britain
G The cheaper the successful
0 A
There must be wiser investments, but it’s doubtful whether many will provide the same sort of excitement If you’re looking for financial adventure, forget your savings accounts — let your money go to the dogs
1.
Greyhound racing might he suffering from an image problem, but the dogs still have their fans After football, it is the second biggest spectator sport in Britain More than 70,000 races are run each year, watched by 4 million people And more than £2 billion is spent each year on betting
2.
In the past two years, two greyhounds — Some Picture and Tom’s the Best — were candidates for the BBC Sports Personality of the Year However, in both cases the award went
to a human What a shame!
3.
But there are significant financial rewards on offer if your dog turns out to be a champion For instance, if it wins the English, Irish or Scottish Derby, you collect £50,000 in prize money However, this is very little compared to what you can make on breeding This can add up to total earnings in excess of £350,000 over seven years
4.

Trang 9To avoid the uncertainty, some owners prefer to buy a dog that has proved itself and is ready
to run The cost, though, is around £3,000, even at the bottom end of the market, and some rich enthusiasts have been known to pay up to £25,000 for a promising young dog
5.
However, some of the cheaper buys are surprisingly successful Two years ago, a dog called Stows Val which had cost its owner £500, ran in the finals of the English Derby This season a dog called Cee Kay fo bought r £1,500 has already won its owner £20,000 in prize money
6.
Even if your dog does start winning, it is unlikely that you’ll be taking early retirement Normal races at stadiums such as Walthamstow and Wimbledon net the winner no more than
£50-100, and as a greyhound usually races once every ten days or so, this isn’t enough to pay for its upkeep, even if it wins regularly
ANSWERS:
Question3: Read the following passage, then choose the correct answer for each question.
The Stone Age was a period of history which began in approximately two million
B.C and lasted until 3000 B.C Its name was derived from the stone tools and weapons
that modern scientists found This period was divided into the Paleolithic, Mesolithic, and Neolithic Ages
During the first period (2 million to 8000 B.C), the first hatchet and use of fire for heating and cooking were developed As a result of the Ice Age, which evolved about one million years into the Paleolithic Age, people were forced to seek shelter in caves, wear clothing, and developed new tools
During the Mesolithic Age (8000 to 6000 B.C), people made crude pottery and the first
fish hooks, took dogs hunting, and developed the bow and arrow, which was used until the fourteenth century A.D
The Neolithic Age (6000 to 3000 B.C) saw humankind domesticating sheep, goats, pigs,
and cattle, being less nomadic than in previous eras, establishing permanent settlements, and
creating governments
