answer sheet to indicate correct word or phrase that best fits each of the numbered
blanks.
The first question we might ask is: What can you learn in college that will help you
in being an employee? The schools teach (55) many things of value to the future
accountant, doctor or electrician. Do they also teach anything of value to the future
employee? Yes, they teach the one thing that it is perhaps most valuable for the future
employee (56) . But very few students bother to learn it. This basic skill is the
ability to organize and express ideas in writing and in speaking. This means that your
success as an employee will depend on your ability to communicate with people and to
(57) your own thoughts and ideas to them so they will (58) understand
what you are driving and be persuaded.
Of course, skill in expression is not enough (59) itself. You must have
something to say in the first place. The effectiveness of your job depends (60)
your ability to make other people understand your work as they do on the quality of the
work itself.
Expressing one‘s thoughts is one skill that the school can (61) teach. The
foundations for skill in expression have to be (62) early: an interest in and an ear
(63) language; experience in organizing ideas and data, in brushing aside the
irrelevant, and above all the habit of verbal expression. If you do not these foundations
(64) your school years, you may never have an opportunity again.

to your lifestyle. For example, although quite a few pets are relatively cheap to buy, the
cost of (28) can be considerable. Everything must be (29) into account,
from food and bedding, to vaccinations and veterinary bills. You must be prepared to (30)
time on your pet, which involves shopping for it, cleaning and feeding it. Pets
can be demanding and a big responsibility. Are you prepared to exercise and (31)
an animal or do you prefer a more independent pet? How much spare room do
you have? Is it right to lock an energetic animal into a (32) space? Do you live
near a busy road which may threaten the life of your pet? Pets (33) as turtles and
goldfish can be cheap and convenient, but if you prefer affectionate pets, a friendly cat or
dog would be more (34) . People get pets for a number of reasons, for company,
security or to teach responsibility to children. Pets can be affectionate and loyal and an
excellent source of company as long as you know what pet (35) you and your

HEALTH AND HAPPINESS
Health experts suggest that ……[<1>]….... healthy and happy, it‘s important
to keep our lives in balance. Chinese philosophy, which has spanned thousands of
years, uses the principles of yin and yang to explain the importance of balance in
life. Explained simply, yang represents the active elements of the universe,
……[<2>]….... the yin represents the passive elements. This expresses the
importance of balance in ……[<3>]….... of living. Today health experts agree that
it‘s important to have a balanced life. For example, they‘ve said it‘s necessary to
have a balance between work and rest and to have a balanced exercise program.
……[<4>]…...., I‘m sure you‘d agree that in our busy world, it‘s not always easy
to get and keep balance in our lives.
……[<5>]….... business or study deadlines, many people work to excess,
leaving little time at the end of their busy day to spend with family and friends.
They eat fast - food and don‘t get enough rest or recreation and then suffer badly
from the effects of stress. It‘s sad that this situation often happens when people
37

believe that access to ……[<6>]….... is the answer to happiness instead of
understanding the importance of balanced living.
While ambition can be a good thing, ……[<7>]….... too much ambition can
cause a person to become ‗out of balance‘. Of course it‘s also unbalanced to spend
too much time on entertainment and pleasure activities, with little or no time
……[<8>]….... to work or education. Balance means allocating enough time for
all the important aspects of life, such as spending time with family and friends,
working or studying, as well as resting and relaxing.
Experts now tell us that having balance in our life is the answer, not only to
health and happiness, ……[<9>]….... to success. If you‘re balanced, you‘ll have

Schools in the United States have not always had a large number of libraries. As
(42) as 1958 about half of the public schools in the United States had no libraries
at all. The (43) of public school libraries increased dramatically when the federal
government passed the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965, (44)
provided funds for school districts to improve their education programs and facilities,
including their libraries. (45) , many educators claim that since the legislation was
passed federal spending has not increased sufficiently to meet the rising (46) of
new library technologies such as computer databases and Internet access.
Because the federal government provides only limited funds to schools, individual
school districts (47) on funds from local property taxes to meet the vast majority
of public school expenses. Therefore, the libraries of public schools tend to reflect the
(48) capabilities of the communities in which they are located. Districts in
wealthy suburbs often have fully staffed libraries (49) abundant resources,
spacious facilities, and curricular and instructional support. In (50) , school
districts in many poor areas house their libraries in ordinary classrooms or in small
rooms. The libraries in such areas are generally staffed by volunteers, who organize and

[144848] Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer
sheet to indicate the correct word for each of the blanks.
One of the most important (3)_ of a standardized test is time. You'll only be
allowed a certain number of minutes for each section, so it is very important that you use
your time (4) . The most important time strategy is pacing yourself. Before you
begin, take just a few seconds to survey the test, noting the (5) of questions and
the sections that looks easier than the rest. Then, make a rough time schedule based
(6) the amount of time available to you. Mark the halfway point on your test and
make a note beside that mark of the time when the testing period is half over.
Once you begin the test, continue moving. If you work slowly in an attempt to
(7) fewer mistakes, your mind will become bored and begin to wander. You'll
end up with far (8) mistakes if you're not concentrating. If you take too long to
answer questions that stump you, you may end up (9) out of time before you
finish. So don't stop for difficult questions. Skip them and move on. You can come back
to them later (10) you have time. A question that takes you five seconds to
answer counts as much as one that takes you several minutes, so pick up the easy points
first. (11) , answering the easier questions first helps build your confidence and
gets you in the testing groove. If you're a little ahead, you know you're on track and may
even have a little time left to check your work. If you're a little behind, you have several
choices. You can pick up the pace a little, but do this only if you can do it (12) .

What‘s your dream? Touring castles in Scotland? Walking on the Great Wall of
China? Working to improve the lives of women in rural Uganda? If you‘re thinking of
studying (30) , there‘s no end to the places you can go, things you can see,
and subjects you can study. At many top schools, such as Duke, Tufts, or Brown, over a
third of the junior class take the opportunity to complete part of their

extensive study abroad program, you can often get credit from a different school.
Multiple benefits accrue to those who spend significant (32) in another
country, and a significant proportion of students see the experience as an important

thinking about study abroad as a way to gain a critical career advantage, read on. You‘ll
find that all foreign experiences are not created equal in the minds of employers.

can be demonstrated through study abroad, but it‘s going to be much (37) to
set yourself apart if you‘ve taken the easy route.
It‘s not hard to find the ―easy route‖: that‘s the one where you go with your friends
to another country; all the arrangements are made for you by the school—including the
American-style apartment where you live with your classmates. In this scenario, it
doesn‘t (38) which country you go to because all your classes will be in
English, and possibly even taught by your American professors. You‘ll undoubtedly have

answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the following questions.
THE BOOK IN THE 21st CENTURY
How many times in the last hundred years or so have people talked of the
imminent death of the book? Films were an early threat because they were so
effective at telling stories in a visual way. Next there was radio, (26) stepped
into the mid-twentieth century and provided such an alternative to books as
drama, documentaries and discussions. When television arrived, many people
believed that it would finish the book off. Nowadays, (27) the threat by TV, the
book is thought to be endangered by computers and the Internet, and by other
technological attractions (28) theCD and the video game, too.
Surely there are now reasons why (29) book ought to be dead, or at least very
badly injured. If so, why does it not show proper respect for these reportedly less
literate times (30) die out? There is clearly more than a single answer to
this question. Firstly, we have more leisure time than we(31) to, and
people are generally living longer, which means there is more time to do more
(including reading books). As (32) as this, there is the strength of the book
as a tradition. We are all too dismissive of traditions in our modern world, but
49

they can have very strong pull(33) us.
Added to this, the book is such a practical tool: it doesn't cost too (34) , it is
usually small enough to carry around, and it can easily be (35) . We will never
go without books, because they have served us so well for so long.
