Passage Two
Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage
I am the owner of a small clothing store. Three months ago I decided to move my store to Glendale, another area of town, because business was not very good. Now I rent a store in an old building. The new location in Glendale is excellent, and my sales have improved a lot. (The utilities are also cheaper!) There is a high school nearby, and many of the students come to my store to buy their clothes. This location has other advantages, too. It is closer to my home, and there is a food store on the next block, so it is convenient for me to go shopping after work.
The size of my new store is better too. It is much bigger, and there is a lot of storage space. But the building was not in very good condition, and I had to make many improvements. The paint was old and dirty, and I had to pick a new color and paint all of the walls. I hired a man to build new wooden dressing rooms. I also made new curtains for the rooms and the window. I am completely satisfied with the store now. Unfortunately, I learned last week that the owner wants to sell the building – after all my hard work! How did I learn this? I came to work Friday and saw a “For Sale” sign in front of my store.

Passage There
Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage
The first jazz musicians played in New Orleans during the early 1900’s. After 1917, many of the New Orleans musicians moved to the south side of Chicago, where they continued to play their style of jazz. Soon Chicago was the new center for jazz.
Several outstanding musicians emerged as leading jazz artists in Chicago. Daniel Louis “Satchmo” Armstrong, born in New Orleans in 1900, was one. Another leading musician was Joseph “King” Oliver, who was also credited with having discovered Armstrong when they were both in New Orleans. While in Chicago, Oliver asked Armstrong, who was in New Orleans, to join his band.
In 1923 King Oliver’s Creole Jazz Band made the first important set of recording by a Hot Five and Hot Seven bands and Louis Armstrong also made recordings of special note.
Although Chicago’s South Side was the main jazz center, some musicians in New York were also demanding attention in Jazz circles. In 1923 Fletcher Henderson already had a ten-piece band that played jazz. During the early 1930’s, the number of players grew to sixteen. Henderson’s band was considered a leader in what some people have called the Big Band Era.
By the 1930’s, big dance bands were the rage. Large numbers of people went to ballrooms to dance to jazz music played by big bands.
One of the most popular and long and very famous jazz bands was the Duke Ellington band. Edward “Duke” Ellington was born in Washington D. C, in 1893 and died in New York City in 1974. He studied the piano as a young boy and later began writing original musical compositions.
The first of Ellington’s European tours came in 1933. He soon received international fame for his talent as bandleader, composer, and arranger. Ten years later, Ellington began giving annual concerts as Carnegic Hall in New York City. People began to listen to jazz in the same way that they had always listened to classical music.
31. For which of the following reasons did Louis Armstrong go to Chicago? A. To form his own band.
B. To learn to play Chicago-style jazz.
C. To play in Joseph Oliver’s band. D. To make recordings with the Hot Five. 32. Which of the following can best replace the word “note” in Para.3? A. distinction.
B. memorandum.
C. mood.
D. song.
33. Which of the following conclusions does the passage support? A. By the 1930’s jazz was appreciated by a wide audience. B. Classical music had a great impact on jazz.
C. Jazz originated in New Orleans in the early nineteenth century. D. Jazz bands were better known in Europe than in the United States.
34. Which of the following cities is NOT mentioned in the passage as a center of jazz?
A. New York.
B. Washington D. C. C. Chicago.
D. New Orleans.
35. It can be inferred from the passage that ______.

It is natural for young people to be critical of their parents at times and to blame them for most of the misunderstandings between them. They have always complained more or less justly, that their parents are out of touch with mordern ways; that they are possessive and dominant; that they do not trust their children to deal with crises; that they talk too much about certain problem and that they have no sense of humor,at least parentchild relationship.
If you plan to control your life, co-operation can be part of that plan. You can charm others, especially your parents, into doing things the way you want. You can impress others with your sense of responsibility and initiative, so that they will give you the authority to do what you want to do.
