If cartoons are anything to go by, then the attitude of the British towards the family, and of British men towards the (31) sex, has not changed much recently, despite attempts to shame people into admitting their prejudices The mother-in-law, frequently of horrific (32) _ and usually either about to visit, or being somehow driven from the house is still a favorite butt of this kind of humor Marriage itself has been reduced to the skinny male, dominated by a massive female who habitually lies in wait with the rolling pin behind the door for the return of her drunken spouse Children are rarely shown other than as screaming infants, or else as ill-favoured urchins who (33) _ all their time being objectionable or asking for money The old are simply (34) _ as comic characters The problem is, how do such cartoons relate to the way people truly see each other? Does a joke always contain some grain of truth, however much we may dislike to admit it? In other words, is life really a series of mother-in-law jokes?

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 36 to 42.
Life expectancy is the period of time that a person can expect to live Life expectancy varies greatly between genders and cultures It used to be that women had a lower life expectancy than men (1 in
every 4 women died in childbirth), but now they live an average of four to five years longer than men
Life expectancy has been increasing rapidly over the last centuries With the advent of such modern miracles as sewers, medicine and a greater understanding of how diseases are spread, our life expectancy has increased by 25-30 years
In developing countries like Swaziland, where there is a high HIV/ AIDS rate, life expectancy is
as low as 32.6 years In developed countries like Australia, life expectancy rates are as high as 81 years There are an increasing number of factors which can cancel out the disadvantages you have The one that
we are looking at now is how your career can affect your life expectancy Choosing the wrong career can result in a shorter life!
If you want your career to positively influence your life expectancy, you have to be made of money That's right Rich people in wealthy areas of England and France live 10 years longer than the people in poorer areas Having a successful career has its drawbacks, too if the result of hard work is stress
Stress can lead to a number of psychological disorders such as depression, anxiety, fatigue, tension and aggression These conditions may result in a lack of concentration and an increase in serious injuries at work They can also lead to high blood pressure and heart attacks which seriously affect life expectancy
If you are worried that your job might decrease your life expectancy, you probably need to avoid careers on "dangerous jobs" list such as timber cutters, pilots, construction workers, roofer, truck drivers
So if you don't want to kick the bucket at an early age, choose a career in something other than
timber cutting, but above all, remember to relax

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 43 to 50.
It can be shown in facts and figures that cycling is the cheapest, most convenient, and most
environmentally desirable term of transport in towns, but such cold calculations do not mean much
on a frosty winter morning The real appeal of cycling is that it is so enjoyable It has none of the difficulties and tensions of other ways of traveling so you are more cheerful after a ride, even though the rush hour
The first thing a non-cyclist says to you is: "But isn't it terribly dangerous?" It would be foolish to deny the danger of sharing the road with motor vehicles and it must be admitted that there are an alarming number of accidents involving cyclists However, although police records indicate that the car driver is often to blame, the answer lies with the cyclist It is possible to ride in such a way as to reduce risks to a minimum
If you decide to join the thousands in Britain who are now returning to cycling as a cheap, satisfying form of transport your first problem will be trying to decide what bike to buy Here are three simple rules for buying a bike:
1 Always buy the best you can afford Of course there has to be a meeting point between
what you would really like and economic reality, but aim as high as you can and you will get the benefit not only when you ride but also if you want to sell Well-made bikes keep the value very well And don't forget to include in your calculations the fact that you'll begin saving money on
fares and petrol the minute you leave the shop
2 Get the best frame, the main structure of the bicycle, for your money as you can Cheap brakes, wheels or gears can easily be replaced by more expensive ones, but the frame sets the
upper limit on any transformation You should allow for the possibility our cycling ambitions will
grow with practice When you begin, the four miles to work may the most you ever dream of, but after a few months a Sunday ride into the country begins to look more and more desirable The best thing is to buy a bike just a little bit better than you think you'll need, and then grow into it Otherwise, try to get a model that can be improved
3.The fit is vital Handlebars and seat height can be adjusted but you must get the right sized frame On the whole it is best to get the largest size you can manage Frame sizes are measured in inches and the usual adult range is from 21 inches to 25 inches, though extreme sizes outside those
Trang 6measurements can be found Some people say if you take four inches off from your inside leg measurement you will end up with the right size of bike The basic principle though is that you should
be able to stand with legs either side of the crossbar (the bar that goes from the handlebars to the seat) with both feet comfortably flat on the ground
Question 43: Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage as the advantages of
cycling?
A it's not costly
B it's convenient and psychologically comfortable
C it's good for environment
D it's good for exercise
Question 44: The phrase "coliel callziantions" inparagraph 2 canbest be replacedby .
C unconvincing explanations D cruel suggestions
Question 45: As regards road safety, the author thinks that .
A people who say cycling is dangerous are foolish
B driving is as dangerous as cycling
C cyclists can often avoid accidents by riding with caution
D cyclists are usually responsible for causing accidents
Question 46: The phrase "to be a meeting point" in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to
_
C to be in development D to go and meet at a place
Question 47: People who are buying their first bicycle are advised to .
A buy a cheap model to begin with
B get a bicycle which suits their current needs
C buy as big a bicycle as they can afford
D spend as much money on a bicycle as they can
Question 48: After you have been cycling for a few months the author suggests that you will
_
A want to ride only at weekends
B want to ride further than you first imagined
C find riding to work every day boring
D find cycling in towns less dangerous
Question 49: The word "transformation" in paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to .
Question 50: The author thinks that the main attraction of cycling is .
A the pleasure it gives people B the benefits to people's health
C its comparative safety D its relative comfort
