with a big garden. But,life is never easy. On the first night, while I was sleeping in my new
bed, I was woken abruptly. The cause was the sound of our doorbell ringing. It was 2 a.m. I
went downstairs and opened the door, but there was no one there. I was very angry.
Whoever rang the doorbell woke me up for nothing! It happened again the next night. There
was no one! This time I felt a chill running down my spine. On the third night, I could barely
sleep. It was as if I was expecting the doorbell to ring. And it didn’t disappoint me.

The doorbell rang again at exactly 2 a.m. I was really scared, so I woke up my husband and
told him to go check. He jumped up, grabbed one of his golf clubs, then rushed to door and

Passage 2 (Items 36-40)
If three guys break into your house and you defend yourself with just your bare

hands, it is clear to us that you haven’t practiced real self-defense.
Real self-defense starts with weapons and works its way down the ladder to

barehanded techniques. Check out the news any day of the week and you will most likely
hear of someone who has been shot dead or assaulted with some type of weapon. In
comparison, very rarely will you hear of someone beaten to death by another person with just
their bare hands. If your martial arts training is not addressing this, it is not preparing you for
real violence or teaching you real self- defense.

If you are not sure whether the martial art you are learning teaches you real self-
defense, ask yourself two simple questions: (1) Does my martial art train me to deal with
multiple opponents? (2) Does my martial art train me to use and defend against modern day
weapons that I would see on the street?

To survive real violence, you need a martial art that is designed for it. and that is what
we do at Real Defense. Our mission statement is: “We study violence to escape it, prevent it
and if all else fails, utilize it ourselves to survive"
36. The writer states that you don't know real self-defense if you _____.

1. get killed by intruders in your own home.

5. have never protected yourself against intruders
37. The word ‘assaulted’ can be replaced by ____.
1. knocked
2. buried
3. caught
4. attacked
5. caged

38. According to the writer, good martial arts training should ____.
1. give you real weapons to protect yourself
2. teach you how to fight with weapons from beginning
3. show you how to treat gunshot techniques
4. not teach bare handed techniques
5. let you experience real violence in an actual fight

39. The passage is mainly about ____.
1. learning bare hand martial arts
2. using weapons when in danger
3. choosing the right weapon when fighting
4. fighting intruders with your bare hands
5. protecting yourself from violence

40. The statement “We study violence to escape it, prevent it and if all else fails, utilize it
ourselves to survive.” means _____.

1. we’d better run away from any fight
2. we learn about violence to protect ourselves
3. it is necessary to be violent to survive
4. violence is unavoidable, so we must learn martial arts
5. if we learn martial arts, we should be able to win any fight

Passage 3 (Items 41-45)
The ‘best before’ date is often mistaken by consumers to be the same as the expiry

date. That's why most of the time. foods that may have passed their ‘best before’ date go
straight in the trash.

Expiry dates tell consumers the last day a product is safe to consume. The best
before' dates marked on most foods are more about quality than safety. When this date
passes, it doesn't mean that the food will be harmful, but its flavor, color or texture might
begin to deteriorate. To decide whether food is still safe, people should rely on their senses
(sight, smell and taste). Food should not be consumed if the taste, odor, or appearance is
odd.

An exception to this is eggs, which have a 'best before' date of no more than 28 days
after they are laid. After this date the quality of the eggs will deteriorate and if any
salmonella bacteria are present, they could make you ill. If you want to use an egg after its
‘best before' date, make sure that you only use it in dishes where it will be fully cooked, so
that both yolk and white are solid, such as in a cake or as a hard-boiled egg.
41. What is the main idea of the first paragraph?

1. The words ‘best before’ and ‘expiry’ have the same meaning.
2. Consumers should not throw away good food.
3. Many people mistake ‘best before’ dates.
4. Thrown away foods are, in fact, safe to eat.
5. It is important to get rid of expired food regularly.

42. According to the passage, once the ‘best before’ date has passed, consumers can tell
If the food is safe by __
1. asking the food seller
2. reading the food label
3. using it in a dish
4. taking a small bite
5. examining a hard-boiled egg

43. The pronoun ‘this’ refers to the fact that ___
1. food tastes and smells bad after its ‘best before’ date
2. food tastes best if it is consumed within the ‘best before’ date
3. it is safe to taste food that has passed its ‘best before’ date
4. ‘best before’ dates on certain food are unreliable
5. food should not be consumed if its order is strange

44. The writer advises readers to ___
1. eat fresh eggs within 28 days after they are laid
2. save eggs for a month before cooking them
3. grow salmonella bacteria in expired eggs
4. stop consuming uncooked eggs
5. use eggs in dished as soon as they are bought

45. Which statement can be inferred from the passage?
1. Most food which has just passed its ‘best before’ date does not need to
be thrown away.
2. The ‘best before’ date indicates the best day to eat the food
3. Both ‘best before’ and expiry dates are highlighted on all food labels.
