Passage One:
Linda and David have traveled by air from London to Sydney, Australia. Linda has promised her mother that she will ring her to let her know that they have arrived safely. This is something she had done ever since she was a child. David thinks it is a good idea to ring so far, to spend too much, and to say so little.
“If there were an accident.” He says , “ They’d know soon enough. Bad news travels fast.”
But Linda has promised that she would ring. “ However,” she says, “is doesn’t cost much when you just think that it’s the other side of the world. It’s only six pence per second.
“If you’re on that telephone for less than one minute, I’ll eat my hat.” David says, “And one minute’s nearly four pounds.”
“That’s no more than you’d pay for a new hat,” Linda answers.
17
She has asked the man at the hotel desk to get her the number. The telephone rings. Linda picks it up.
“Hello, Mum, Is that you?” She says.
“Six pence per second,” David reminds her.
“Hello, love,” It is Mrs. Lee , Linda’s mother , speaking from London. “ I can hear you very clearly just like you are in the next room. It’ s a better line than when you called me from your office. Do you remember? I shouted at that time, and still you couldn’t hear me sometimes.”
“Yes, Mum.” Linda puts in. “ I just wanted to ring to …”
“I remember how you rang when you went to Betty’s house to eat, when you were a little girl. And then when you …” Mrs. Lee is a great talker.
“Nearly four pounds.” says David.
Linda tries to tell her mother that it is time to say goodbye.
“Yes, all right,” says Mrs. Lee , “ But you will write, won’t you, as you did when you were at work …”
Once again, Mrs, Lee talks about the past, and there is no stopping off.
At last, Linda cuts her mother short, promises to write, and rings off.
“There! That wasn’t long, was it?”
“Four pounds, ninety pence.” David answers. “ And you didn’t even say that we’ve arrived.”

Passage Two
Many people who work in London prefer to live outside it, and to go in to their offices or schools every day by train, car or bus, even though this means they have to get up early in the morning and reach home late in the evening.
One advantage of living outside London is that houses are cheaper. Even a small flat in London without a garden costs quite a lot to rent. With the same money, one can get a little house in the country with a garden of one’s own.
Then , in the country one can really get away from the noise and hurry of busy working lives. Even though one has to get up earlier and spend more time in trains or buses, one can sleep better at night and during weekends and on summer evenings, one can enjoy the fresh, clean air of the country. If one likes gardens, one can spend one’s free time digging, planting, watering and doing the hundred and one other jobs which are needed in a garden. Then, when the flowers and vegetables come up, one has got the reward together with those who have shared the secret of Nature.
Some people, however, take no interest in country things; for them, happiness lies in the town, with its cinema and theatres, beautiful shops and busy streets, dance-halls and restaurants. Such people would feel that their life was not worth living if they had to live it outside London. An occasional walk in one of the parks and a fortnight’s (two weeks) visit to the sea every summer is all the country they want; the rest they are quite prepared to leave to those who are glad to get away from London every night
11. Which of the following statements is NOT true? ___________ A. People who love Nature prefer to live outside the city.
B. All the people who work in London prefer to live in the country. C. Some people enjoying city life prefer to work and live inside London
D. Many nature lovers, though working in London, prefer to live outside the city.

13. When the garden is in blossom, that one _________ has been rewarded.
A. living in the country B. having spent time working in the garden C. having a garden of his own D. having been digging, planting and watering
14. People who think happiness lies in the city life would feel that ______ if they had to live outside London.
A. their life was meaningless B. their life was invaluable C. their life was worthless D. their life was useless
