II. Cloze Test

The money and the time we spend on pets is simply not our own to spend as we like in a time of widespread want and starvation. A   11    organization advertises that for $33 a month they can give hospital care to a child suffering from kwashiorkor-the severe deficiency disease      12  is simply a starving for protein. Doing   13    such a pet, and then sending the money saved to a relief organization would mean   14    a life-over the years, several human lives.

Children not    15   from such a grave disease could be fed with half that amount-not on a diet like ours, but on plain, basic, life-sustaining food. It is not unreasonable to believe   16    the amount of money we spend on the average pet dog could keep a child    17   in a region of great poverty.    18   what we would spend on a cat might not feed a child, but it   19    probably pay for his medical care or basic education. The point needs no   20   . That is all that need be said.

17. A. alive      B. life      C. live      D. survive

18. A. Giving      B. To give      C. Given      D. Give

19. A. would      B. should      C. must      D. need

III. Reading Comprehension

Passage One

Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.

We can make mistakes at any age. Some mistakes we make are about money. But most mistakes are about people. “Did Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen?” “When I got that great job, did Jim really feel good about it, as a friend? Or did he envy my luck?” “Why didn’t I realize that Paul was friendly just because I had a car?” When we look back, doubts like these can make up feel bad. But when we look back, it’s too late.

Why do we go wrong about our friends or our enemies? Sometimes what people say hides their real meaning. If we don’t really listen, we miss the feeling behind the words. Suppose someone tells you, “You’re a lucky dog.” Is he really on your side? If he says, “You’re a lucky boy” or “You’re a lucky girl”, that’s being friendly. But there’s a bit of envy in “lucky dog.” Maybe he doesn’t see it himself. But bringing in the “dog” bit puts you down a little. What he may be saying is that he doesn’t think you deserve your luck.

“Just think of all the things you have to be thankful for” is another noise that says one thing and means another. It could mean that the speaker is trying to get you to see your problem as part of your life as a whole. But is he? Wrapped up in this phrase is the thought that your problem isn’t important. It’s telling you to think of all the starving people in the world when you haven’t got a date for Saturday night.

How can you tell the real meaning behind someone’s words? One way is to take a good look at the person talking. Do his words fit the way he looks? Does what he says square with the tone of voice? His gesture? The look in his eyes? Stop and think.

The minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of what people say to you many save another mistake.
