SECTION BPASSAGES

Questions II to 13 are based on the following paage.If you're in a western country, you often see people walking their dogs.It is still

true that a dog is the most useful animal in the world.(13)However the reason why

one keeps the dog has changed.(11)Once upon a time, a man met a dog and wanted it

to help him in the fight against other animals.And the dog listened to him and did what

he told him to do.Later people used dogs for hunting other animals.And dogs did not

eat what they got until their masters agreed.(11)Dogs were also used for driving sheep

and guarding chickens.But now people in towns and cities do not need dogs to fight

other animals any more.Of course, they keep them to frighten thieves.But the most

important reason for keeping dogs is that they feell only in the city.For a child, a dog

is his best friend when he has no friends to play with;for a young wife, a dog is her

child when she does not have her own;for old people, a dog is also a child when their

real children have grown up and left.(12)Now people do not have to use a dog, but

they keep it as a friend,just like a member of the family.Key: 11.D12.A13.D

Questions 14 to 17 are based on the following paage.I am going to work in a totally new environment.I'll have to get used to different

working conditions.I am used to working in quite high-tech sort of industry that has

got lots of machinery and everything.But now I am going to a place that(14)has no

machinery as such, apart from a typewriter.The place has no electricity at all, no

photocopiers,all the things that you just take for granted here.They just won't be there

any more.I'll be staying near the school in quite a small village.And(15)1 will be

staying in a teacher's house, living with two or three other volunteer teachers.I'll have

to get used to not having the variety of different foods that you have here like twenty

different varieties of breakfast serial.(16)And the range of food there is much smaller,not many choices.I'll also have to get used to getting water from a well, not having

electricity which means gas lamps in the evening;which means the difficulty of

preparing for the next day's leons in poor light;which means different ways of

getting your clothes washed.(17)There will be all sorts of big differences like that, but

I'll have to get used to when I arrive there.Key: 14.B15.D16.A17.C

Questions 18 to 20 are based on the following paage.The most common type of child abuse you know is beating with the hands or with

an instrument usually a cane in some places.Nearly a third of the abused children we

see are(18)in the age group between six and ten, and about sixty-five percent of them

are boys.(18)This is the age group when children are first to expect to study hard and

parents have great expectations of their progrees in school.Boys of course attract

more abuse such as beating because(20)once again parental expectations are high, and

boys tend to be more energetic and difficult to control than girls.Most experts seem to

agree that the child abuse is caused by a combination of social and psychological factors.Families who beat their children are not particularly different from other people.(20)The only difference that exists between them is that they lack skills in the establishing good relationships with their children.These families too.generally speaking, have other problems such as(19)marriage problems or financial problems.Some parents are hurting their children because they strongly believe in the use of traditional discipline methods.But many of them have(19)emotional problems.(20)They are often the victims of violence themselves.Sometimes they even bear an unreasonable hatred for a child because they believe that the child has brought the family bad luck.Key: 18.B19.A20.C
