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.
The relationship between Britain and the US has always been a close one. Like all close
relationships it has had difficult times. The US was first a British colony, but between 1775 and
1783 the US fought a war to become independent. The US fought the British again in the War of 1812.
In general, however, the two countries have felt closer to each other than to any other country,
and their foreign policies have shown this. During World War I and World War II, Britain and
the US supported each other. When the US looks for foreign support, Britain is usually the first
country to come forward and it is sometimes called “the 51st state of the union”.
But the special relationship that developed after 1945 is not explained only by shared political
interests. An important reason for the friendship is that the people of the two countries are very
similar. They share the same language and enjoy each other's literature, films and television.
Many Americans have British ancestors, or relatives still living in Britain. The US government
and political system is based on Britain's, and there are many Anglo-American businesses
operating on both sides of the Atlantic. In Britain some people are worried about the extent of
US influence, and there is some jealousy of its current power. The special relationship was
strong in the early 1980s when Margaret Thatcher was Prime Minister in Britain and Ronald
Reagan was President of the US.

indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
Hamams, or bath houses, are a traditional part of Turkish culture. They represent an important
piece of Turkey's long history and serve as a window into the past. However, these bath houses
are quickly disappearing because of the changing habits of the Turkish people.
Hamams hold a strong place in the history of Turkey and many date back hundreds of years.
Traditionally, all kinds of people went to hamams because Islam has strict laws for cleanness.
Believers must wash themselves regularly, particularly before their daily prayers. As most
people in Turkey didn't have access to running water in their homes, the hamam was the perfect
to get clean, relax, and catch up with friends.
Today, however, the tradition of going to the hamam is quickly dying out for many young
people. Now almost everyone has running water in their bathrooms, so they prefer to bathe at
home. As a result, Turkish people are not going to hamams as often as they used to. These days,
instead of relying on locals, many hamams are trying to attract foreign tourists.
Some of the best hamams in Turkey are located in Istanbul, the country's largest city. The
Cagaloglu hamam is a great example. It was a gift to the people from the Sultan in 1741 and is
one of the last old hamams to be built during the Ottoman Empire. Many visitors are impressed
by the high domed ceilings, marble floors, and marble walls used throughout.
A typical session at a hamam can last well over an hour. Visitors will be welcomed into
camekan, or entrance hall. There they will be able to relax with friends and chat over a cup of
tea. They will also be able to change into the customary pestemal, or Turkish towel, which
wraps around the waist like a skirt. When ready, visitors will head into hararet, or hot room.
There they will lie on the hot floor and be scrubbed clean and massaged by one of the in-house
masseurs or masseuses. Men and women always bathe separately, but their experiences are very similar.
Although many hamams are in danger of closing, they will always remain a part of Turkish
culture. An experience in one of Istanbul's famous bath houses is not to be missed on any visit
to Turkey. It will certainly leave you refreshed, relaxed, and squeaky clean for your next adventure.
