Part V. Read the passage and choose the correct answer A, B, C or D for each of the following

One of the most important discoveries of the nineteenth century was a method of using natural gas for
cooking and heating. Large amounts of natural gas are found in the United States, usually several feet below
the surface of the Earth. Natural gas is most often found in places where petroleum, the oil from which
gasoline is made, is found. Often the natural gas must be removed before the oil itself can be reached.
For many years after natural gas was first discovered, it was thought to have no value. Finally, however,
people began to understand its use and to find ways of storing it and moving it from place to place.Today
natural gas is stored in large tanks and used for lighting, cooking and heating. It has also been used for
electric generators and hybrid cars recently. In many ways natural gas is one of our finest fuels. It can be
used for cooking without making the room hot. It is cheap and can be moved easily from one place to
another through long pipelines, some of which are hundreds of miles in length.

answer to each of the questions.
Package holidays, covering a two weeks" stay in an attractive location are increasingly popular, because
they offer an inclusive price with few extras. Once you get to the airport, it is up to the tour operator to see that
you get safely to your destination. Excursions, local entertainment, swimming, sunbathing, skiing you name it
- it"s all laid on for you. There is, in fact, no reason for you to bother anything yourselves. You make friends
and have a good time, but there is very little chance that you will really get to know the local people. This is
even less likely on a coach tour, when you spend almost your entire time travelling. Of course, there are carefully
scheduled stops for you to visit historic buildings and monuments, but you will probably be allowed only a brief
stay overnight in some famous city, with a polite reminder to be up and breakfasted early in time for the coach
next morning. You may visit the beautiful, the historic, the ancient, but time is always at your elbow. There is
also the added disadvantage of being obliged to spend your holiday with a group of people you have never met
before, may not like and have no reasonable excuse for getting away from. As against this, it can be argued that
for many people, particularly the lonely or elderly, the feeling of belonging to a group, although for a short
period on holiday, is an added bonus. They can sit safely back in their seat and watch the world go by.
39. In spite of its disadvantages, spending a holiday with a group is particularly good for ____ A. schoolboys and schoolgirls
B. the lonely or elderly people
C. newly married young couples
D. those who always travel by themselves
40. "Time is always at your elbow." This means ___________________
A.your time always is limited when visiting a place
B. your time is always limited when visiting a place
C. you can take your time visiting a place
D. you can take your time visiting a place
41. When you go on a package holiday, you don"t have to__________ A. arrange anything yourself
B. pay for any extra activities C. follow the tour schedules
D. travel in an organised group 42. Which of the following statements is NOT true? A. A coach tour is always exhausting. lOMoAR cPSD| 45619127 B.

It is often considered that the schoolyard is where bullies go to make other kids a miserable school life,
but a new study suggests that classrooms are another popular place. The study, presented recently at the
American Public Health Association's yearly meeting in Philadelphia, is based on the results of the research

21% said someone had threatened to hurt them. According to the results, two-thirds of the students said they
had been bullied in more than one way over the previous month.
The study authors mentioned that 8% of the students who answered said they had missed school at least
once during the school year because of fear of being bullied. 25% said they had taken other actions, such as
missing recess, not going to the bathroom or lunch, missing classes, or staying away from some area of the
school to escape from experiencing a bully. Bullies did too much to the school life.
