Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer

to each of the questions from 36 to 43.

“Family” includes your siblings and parents, as well as relatives who you may not interact with every day, such as your cousins, aunts, uncles, grandparents, and stepparents These are probably the people you are closest to and with whom you spend the most time Having healthy relationships with your family members is both important and difficult.

Families in the 21st century come in all shapes and sizes: traditional, single parent, blended (more than one family together in the same house), and gay and lesbian parents - just to name a few No matter the “type” of family you have, there are going to be highs and lows - good times and bad.

Many times, however, families become blocked in their relationships by hurt, anger, mistrust, and confusion These emotions are natural and normal, and few families do not have at least a few experiences with them The worst time for most families, is during a divorce.

By making a few simple changes in the way we look at the world and deal with other people, it is possible to

create happier, more stable relationships Families need to be units of mutual caring and support; they can be sources

of lifelong strength for all individuals Thus, it is never too late to begin the process of improving family relationships

- even if they are already of good quality - by developing some simple skills.

Whereas in other situations you can step back and assess the relationship, it is often hard to do this with your family Your family may be a constant presence in your life, so when an argument or issue arises, it may seem impossible to handle However, remember that communication is key to resolving conflict While it may seem that your siblings are constantly present to annoy you or boss you around, they are also there to communicate Thus, use your family’s presence to your advantage - communicate with each other, develop ways to value boundaries, and build trust and respect.

WHAT IS HAPPENING TO OUR LAKE?

Thirty years ago, Lake Ponkapog in Hartweel, New Jersey, was full of life Many birds and animals lived beside the water, which was full of fish Now there are few birds and animals, and fish The lake water is polluted It

is a dirty brown colour, and it is filled with strange plants.

How did this happen? First, we must think about how water gets into Lake Ponkapog When it rains, water comes into the lake from all around In the past, there were woods all around Lake Ponkapog, so the rainwater was clean.

Now there are many homes on the lake shore People often use the chemicals in their gardens They use other chemicals inside their houses for cleaning and killing insects There are also many businesses Businesses use chemicals in their machines or stores Other chemicals fall onto the ground from cars or trucks When it rains, the

rainwater flows by these homes and businesses It picks up all chemicals and then pours them into the lake They

pollute the water and kill the animal life.

There is still another problem at the lake: exotic plants These plants come from other countries They have no

natural enemies here, and they grow very quickly In a short time they can fill up a lake Then there is no room for

other plants The plants that normally grow there die These plants gave many animals and fish their foods or their homes So now those animals and fish die, too

People in Hartwell are worried They love their lake and want to save it Will it be possible? A clean lake must have clean rainwater going into it Clean rainwater is possible only if people are more careful about chemicals at home and at work They must also be more careful about gas and oil and other chemicals on the ground.

A chemicals in Lake Ponkapog B Why the water is dirty in Lake Ponkapog.

C the exotic plants in Lake Ponkapog D dirty lakes in New Jersey.

Question 45 In the past , the water in Lake Ponkapog was made clean by .

Question 47 Chemicals from homes and businesses .

A are good for lake B can help the animals C are always clean D get into the rainwater Question 48 The phrase “fill up” in the passage probably means .

C grow in tiny quantities D become full of water

Question 49 Exotic plants grow quickly because they .

A make the water dirty B are large and strong C have a lot of water D have no natural enemies Question 50 To save Lake Ponkapog, people need to

A grow fewer plants in the gardens B be more careful about chemicals
