82 A Read the texts below. Most of us might feel that we have had a bad day. Let’s have a look at the following narrations and see whether your day was worse than theirs. Quite the entrance… “Once (I’ve got loads of these) I got sent to a client’s office in a featureless block in Wembley. Somehow, I managed to get the directions up to the client’s reception horribly wrong. Before I’d realised it, I’d opened a fire door out onto the roof. It shut behind me with a resolute thunk, leaving me no option but to walk around the roof trying to find another way in. Turning a corner, I spotted my work colleagues and the client all looking at me in bewilderment through the windows of their meeting room. They had to open a window for me to climb in, in front of everyone. Awkward.” Source: The Guardian Off to a smashing start… “In high school, I got a job at a resort as a “hostess” in their dining hall. First day there, they decide they want us to clean everything in the dining hall from top to bottom, because the resort only ran during the summer. It needed a good scrub. Well, the windows were the type that you could remove from the frame to clean, which made life a lot easier so you didn’t have to actually go outside to clean them. Except that removable windows means droppable windows. Yeah. First day on the job, first window perfectly cleaned, I pick it up to put it back in place – and drop it on my foot, shattering it. That was not so awesome.” Source: Reddit And the record for the world’s shortest job is … “I got hired for a corporate job. I had my first day and it seemed to be going well and then I, and the rest of my department, got called in for a surprise meeting. Turns out we were all getting laid off. Yes. I got laid off on my first day. That HAS to be a new record, right?“ Source: Reddit B Discuss with a partner. 1 What do you think of the above incidents? 2 How would you have felt and what would you have done in the above situations? 3 Take turns to share your ‘bad day’ experience with your partner.

Those were (5) the many things I got to see and learn as a police offi cer.” Fatimah was born (6) Kampung Gajah on March 25, 1937. Her father was a taxi driver while her mother was a housewife. She became (7) in the police work through her elder brother who was a police offi cer. (8) , her parents resisted the idea of their youngest child becoming a police offi cer. They wanted her to become a teacher or a clerk, but Fatimah (9) . Her parents fi nally gave their blessings. At the age of 19, she joined the police force.

84 After the morning hustle and bustle, the atmosphere at Tai-tung county’s Central Market quietens as every stall shuts for the day and their owners return to the comfort of their homes. A lone lamp shines on a vegetable stall. With head bowed, Chen Shu-Chu silently sorts out the vegetable leaves as she waits for the occasional afternoon customer.[1]Decades of hard work have caused the fingers on her right hand to curl and joints to swell; her feet have deformed slightly. Chen leads her life with a daily routine―waking up at three in the morning, she makes her way to the vegetable wholesaler and sets up her stall, which she tends till seven or eight in the evening.[2]Being the first to arrive and last to leave, the other stall owners have fondly given her the title of ‘market manager’. In the dark and damp market, Chen, nearing her sixties, holds the stall her father left her dearly. YuanJin Vegetables is her everything. With her vegetables selling at “a bundle for 30 dollars, three bundles for 50”, Chen earns only marginal profits. Yet, her frugality has allowed her to donate about NT$10 million towards various charitable causes, including helping schools, orphanages and poor children. The selfless generosity of a woman with such humble income has placed her under the international spotlight. In March, Forbes magazine named her one of 48 outstanding philanthropists from the AsiaPacific region.[4]Despite the honour of receiving the TIME award in New York and gaining global recognition, all Chen really cares about is her vegetable stall. Despite all the attention, Chen remains humble. “I have done nothing extraordinary and everyone who wants to can do it. There are many other charitable people; we just don’t know about them.” Chen, who is unmarried, adds, “I do not place great importance on money.[5]When I donate to help others, I feel at peace and happy, and I can sleep well at night.” She also feels for the poor, having experienced hardship in her younger days. Born in 1950, Chen lost her mother after completing her primary school education. Her mother was admitted to hospital due to difficulties in labour and the family had to pay an insurance of NT$5,000 before medical attention could be granted. Chen saw her father asking their neighbours for money but it was too late to save her mother.[7]When she was 18, her younger brother fell sick and the illness dragged on for over a year, gradually depleting the family’s savings. Doctors suggested the family send her brother to Taiwan National University Hospital, but how could they afford the fees? Huang Shun-zhong, a teacher at Ren-ai Primary School, started a donation drive. Unfortunately, her brother could not be saved. After experiencing the kindness bestowed upon her family, Chen made up her mind to help the poor once she was able. When her father passed away 17 years ago, Chen, a devoted Buddhist, generously donated NT$1 million to Fo Guang Shan Monastery. In 2000, she donated NT$1 million to her alma mater, Ren-ai Primary School, to set up an “Emergency Relief Fund” to help poor children obtain financial help. Chen’s ability to donate such large sums of money has led many to ask how a mere vegetable seller can earn so much. “Spend only what you need, and you’ll be able to save up a lot of money!” says Chen. Since 1996, she has been donating NT$36,000 to help three children in the Kids Alive International organisation. To achieve this, Chen explains that she empties her loose change into three little cardboard boxes at home every night. “This is a simple act that can be done by anyone, isn’t it?” says Chen. Chen leads a very simple life without any luxuries. Neither does she have any desire for material gains nor any form of enjoyment. Work, she says, is her enjoyment. “I love my work. If I didn’t, would I be able to work 16 hours a day?” All Questions 1 to 8 are based on the following passage. Read the passage carefully and choose the best answer A, B, C or D.

86 Questions 1 to 6 are based on an article about work ethic. Six sentences have been removed from the article. Choose from the sentences A to H the one which fits each gap (1 to 6). There are two extra sentences which you do not need to use. Work Ethic I am sure you have often heard the words “work ethic” being bandied around. It has become one of the many phrases that is often included in many want ads and job descriptions, as a trait that you must possess before you can be considered for an open position. (1) H Is it a personality trait that must be possessed by individuals? Or is it a standard of behaviour that everyone should follow so they can actually be of use to the organisation? Let’s start off with defining work ethic. (2) F If we are going to use a simple definition for work ethic, we could go with the one that describes it as a set of moral principles that an employee uses in the performance of his job. Another business definition describes work ethic as “the belief in the moral benefit and importance of work and its inherent ability to strengthen character.” Basically, work ethic refers to how you feel about your job or career. (3) E It also pertains to how you do your job, or the responsibilities that are attached with it. The level of respect you show your co-workers and people you come into contact with at work, and how you communicate and interact with them, also defines your work ethic. From this definition, we can also surmise that work ethic is also used to refer to key characteristics that one should possess. The key characteristics include honesty, integrity, humility and accountability, among others. These traits or characteristics will dictate how you will react or act in a certain situation, or when you are faced with a particular circumstance. (4) B Obviously, work ethic is important in defining your identity. A huge part of how people will form an opinion about you will come from what they perceive to be your work ethic. Why is it so important to have a good and strong work ethic? Ultimately, it will show the strength of your character and present you in a positive or negative light. (5) A If you are looked at favourably by your co-workers and superiors, then you will have better chances at advancing your career. From the organisation’s point of view, it will be to its benefit to have employees with solid work ethic. This is because such traits and personalities will contribute to the attainment of the vision and goals of the organisation. (6) C If you want to become effective as a contributing member of the organisation, then you should have a good and strong work ethic.

87 Questions 1 to 8 are based on the following texts. Read the texts below and answer the questions that follow. “My daily routine is challenging with so many patients. Without the help of nurses, it would be impossible for me to do my job well.” “It is challenging and hurtful to be bombarded and yelled at. I still do what I need to do for my patients because it is my duty.” “As I do my daily rounds, it saddens me to hear some patients shouting at the nurses. They should be appreciated more.” “After my stroke, it was the nurses who cared for me round the clock. I will always be grateful to them and hope more patients will realise how important they are.” “I get complaints about my nurses nearly every day. Most complaints are unreasonable though. So, I try to calm the patients down as best as I can.” “I was not able to take time off work to care for my dad who had cancer. I am so grateful to his nursing staff who were there for him always. I believe nurses should be treated with more respect.” Dr Amirul Khalid, General Surgeon Dr Ramaswamy Kandiah, Consultant Paediatrician Madam Jane Ang, Staff Nurse Puan Salmiah Ali, a stroke patient Madam Ranjinie Gomez, Matron Miss Lily Anand, daughter of a cancer patient Celebrating the Underappreciated in the Medical Profession The International Nurses Day is celebrated annually on 12 May. It is widely known that nurses are often the most underappreciated, unsung heroes of the medical profession. Most of them have dedicated their lives to care for the sick, who are not always pleasant to them. There have also been cases of assault on nurses by patients and their caregivers. We visited Perkasa Medical Centre recently and asked around about the way nurses were treated. A B D E F C A In the workplace, this will be to your advantage. B How you respond will reveal the kind of work ethic that you have. C Work ethic, on its own, isn’t going to be of any use to any organisational structure, though. D No one actually knows what is meant by work ethic. E Hence, it covers your attitude and behaviour. F There are so many definitions attached to the phrase. G It is difficult to please our employers all the time. H But what is work ethic, really?

88 Questions 1 to 4 Using the information given, which paragraph (A – F) mentions the following statements? Statement Paragraph 1 Complaints from patients are very common. E 2 I feel grateful to the nurses for the care provided during recovery from a stroke. D 3 Although getting shouted at is unpleasant, there is still a job to be done. C 4 I feel sad to see how nurses are being treated by patients. B Questions 5 to 8 Aliza’s mother was recently hospitalised for an appendix operation. She spent a few days at Perkasa Medical Centre with her mother and was shocked at the way the nurses were treated. She tells her friend, Ai Ling, about it.

Aliza : My mother had a minor operation at Perkasa Medical Centre last week. So, I kept her company at the hospital. Ai Ling : Oh, how is she now? Has she been discharged? Aliza : Yes, she came home yesterday. She is feeling better now. It is a good thing that she was in hospital for nearly a week. The doctors and nurses were able to constantly monitor her health and take care of her. But do you know, I really feel bad for the nurses there. Ai Ling : Why do you say that, Aliza? Aliza : It was really shocking to see them getting (5) bombarded and scolded by the patients. However, they went on doing their duties diligently. They must be (6) appreciated more for the work they do. Ai Ling : If the patients are scolding them, the nurses must be doing something wrong. Aliza : No, Ai Ling. My mother’s surgeon said that it would be (7) impossible for him to do his job without the nurses. Another lady, who was sharing the hospital room with my mother, told me how well the nurses looked after her when she was recovering from a stroke. Ai Ling : Oh no, that is really sad. So, why do they still want to be nurses? Aliza : Well, my mother’s nurse feels that although she is treated badly at times, it is her (8) duty to care for her patients.

Why did you choose this ambition? Back-up prompts Do you like to work in an office? Did you work during the school holidays? What do you want to work as in the future? Why do you want to do this job? (Accept all suitable answers.) You will hear Mr Charles talking about work-life balance. For questions 1 to 10, fill in the missing information in each numbered space. Use NO MORE THAN ONE WORD for each space. You will hear the interview twice. Answer all the questions. Work-life Balance Mr Charles believes everyone will (1) benefit from a work-life balance. However, some levels of (2) management remain sceptical about this idea. The main reason for this scepticism is (3) competition and the need for every link to function effectively. Employers need to understand that employees are not (4) machines and should be treated as humans. A healthy attitude towards work-life balance (5) begins with the employer. The employer must regard themselves as a reliable (6) companion and encourage a healthy lifestyle. However, the question remains – how much (7) freedom should the employees be given and how much discipline is needed in the workplace. An employee is also (8) responsible for achieving a satisfactory work-life balance. There are companies which make overtime mandatory. This may give a (9) negative impact on the private and family life of their employees. Work then becomes constant and influences one’s private life in a (10) harmful way.

93 A Read the article below. If you are tired, bored or lack enthusiasm for life, maybe it is time you booked a holiday. Getting away, even for a short period, can do wonders for both our body and mind. Still not convinced? Here are 10 reasons why you need to see your travel agent. 1 You’ll have reduced stress levels. When life gets overwhelming, we usually go for a nap, a bubble bath or a yoga class to help unwind and relax. But did you know that travel is one of the greatest ways to reduce stress? Whether you like to walk around a new city, hike mountain trails, or swim in the ocean, getting active outdoors is a great way to reduce stress, boost energy levels and enhance your overall well-being. 2 You’ll avoid monotony. As the saying goes, “A change is as good as a rest.” A trip of any kind provides you with a break from the norm. It is therapeutic to make a change from your daily routine – doing so prevents your mind and body from stagnating. You will feel revitalized and recharged even after a short vacation. 3 You’ll get outdoors. When you are travelling, you are more likely to be outside instead of trapped inside an office. This means you will be breathing in fresh air, enjoying the outdoors and breathing more deeply, re-oxygenating your blood. You will also gain benefits from the exposure to sunlight, provided you take necessary precautions to avoid sunburn. 4 You’ll be more active. Travel can involve additional activities. Even if you do not book an activity holiday, you are likely to do more walking than you normally would do at home, and generally be much more active than you are in your normal routine.

95 B Answer the following questions. 1 Why is a trip considered to be therapeutic? A trip is considered to be therapeutic because when you go for a trip, you make a change from your daily routine and this prevents your mind and body from stagnating. 2 What changes do you experience when you are travelling instead of being in the offi ce? When you are travelling, you spend more time outdoors than when you are in the offi ce. You will be able to breathe in fresh air, enjoy the outdoors and breath more deeply, re-oxygenate your blood and gain benefi ts from the exposure to sunlight. 3 Why does travel involve additional activities even if you did not book an activity holiday? When you travel, you tend to do more walking than you normally would do at home, and you will also be much more active than you are in your normal routine. 4 How will your eating habits be different when you travel? You might probably snack less and try different foods abroad. You might not watch the calories, but you will enjoy indulging in diverse types of gastronomic delicacies. 5 How can looking forward to a trip help you? Having a trip to look forward to can break up the monotony of work and help you deal better with your current work problems. 6 Two advantages of socialising are it is a great therapy/Accept any suitable answer . and it allows you to meet people/ Accept any suitable answer . 7 Do you like to travel?

97 Questions 1 to 6 are based on an article about the history of African clothing. Six sentences have been removed from the article. Choose from the sentences A to H the one which fits each gap (1 to 6). There are two extra sentences which you do not need to use. History of African Clothing As the world’s second-largest continent, it is difficult to define what people in every different African country wear in a single blog post. Their traditional dress is dictated to as much by the climate in which they live, as it is by the culture and an individual’s socioeconomic standing. (1) G And while modern times have seen a move away from the traditional dress for many of these people, there is still importance in learning more about it and how it informs the culture of the people who wore it. What follows is an exploration of the history of clothing in Africa, and some noteworthy examples of the traditional dress worn in countries such as Zimbabwe, Ethiopia and Madagascar. The people of Africa would have started wearing clothing around 180,000 years ago, most likely due to an Ice Age that gripped the world at that point and developed a need in the people to cover themselves for warmth. (2) C The people also adorned themselves with jewellery made from seashells, ostrich eggshell pieces and feather. It is likely that the first kind of cloth on the continent was made from pounded bark fibres. (3) E This produced small pieces of cloth that could be sewn together to produce a bigger cloth to cover the body. This was a widely used practice, and different regions made use of different trees for the bark. (4) H Eventually they began to dye the bark fibre cloth to produce patterns on it, giving birth to the renowned tradition of vibrant colours and patterns in traditional clothing in almost every part of Africa. Eventually, by 2,000 BC, people began to weave cloth instead of pounding down the bark fibres. (5) A Changes in rulers, access to foreigners and international trade all influenced a number of African countries’ cultures, and by association, their clothes. No matter which continent you travelled to, however, one thing remained the same.

Salt Lake City celebrated two new museums, the Natural History Museum which highlights Utah’s unique geology, biology, and anthropology and The Leonardo, a stylish and ambitious attraction that allows visitors to explore science, technology and art. Salt Lake City also celebrates the opening of City Creek Centre in March, the largest construction project of its kind in the United States. Featuring 23 acres of retail and residential facilities, this $1.5 billion hub of commerce and urban life is a game changer for visitors to Downtown Salt Lake City. Questions 1 to 8 are based on the following text. Read the text carefully and complete the diagram that follows. A Some wove linen, whereas others wove specifi c kinds of tall grass. B The Zimbabwe people like to wear colourful clothes. C These fi rst clothes were made out of animal skin, and took the form of leather coverings and fur. D They will dye the bark before pounding it. E People would peel bark from the trees and pound it with a rock until it was thin and bendable. F Traditional African clothing almost always came in a variety of styles and vibrant colours and prints. G Many of the different parts of the continent play home to a different nationality of people, with their own distinct traditional dress. H People in Uganda used the bark from fi g trees, for example.

106 A Read an article about travelling. Travel the World If you want to travel the world, there are some planning measures you should take first to ensure you have durable luggage and proper documents. (1) D You will also need to figure out how much time off you’ll need if you are employed full-time. First, you would want to check your passport and see if it’s valid for at least six months. That’s because some countries like Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam and Russia make this a requirement for entering their countries. International travel could also require a visa depending on the location and duration of your trip. (2) F Others, like Lebanon, allow citizens from destinations like the U.S. to get a visa upon arrival. Working while travelling can be tricky. (3) G You can start by saving vacation days if you work at a company that pays out for these dates. Those looking to trade in vacation days can also check out companies like PTO Exchange, which lets companies buy back unused vacation days so employees can convert these days into travel, health benefits or charity credits. You should consider signing up for TSA PreCheck. (4) B TSA PreCheck, which costs $85 for a five-year membership, allows you to speed through domestic airport security and customs screening without having to remove your shoes, belt, laptop, liquids or light jackets. This can be troublesome at times. Even if you have to leave your job to travel the world, there are some ways you can make money while abroad. Companies like Upwork allow people to find work almost anywhere, even while travelling. This is because it’s open to freelancers across a wide range of fields. (5) E Some freelancers can often rack up hourly rates that can go as high as $200 per hour, according to Upwork representatives. Having the best travel credit card for your trip will not only prevent foreign transaction fees, but also help you reap rewards and perks during your trip. (6) A Among them include the Chase Sapphire Reserve ($450 annual fee), which offers $300 toward travel costs, $100 toward Global Entry or TSA PreCheck, access to thousands of airport lounges, zero foreign transaction fees, and a 1:1 point transfer programme towards top airline and hotel loyalty programmes.

111 Questions 1 to 8 are based on the following passage. Read an extract from a novel and choose the best answer A, B, C or D. This was Mr Casaubon’s letter. My dear Miss Brooke, I have your guardian’s permission to address you on a subject that is very close to my heart. I have recognised within me the need to get acquainted with someone soon, and I find that you are a suitable candidate. From the first time I met you, I saw that you were the most ideal person for me to get to know. This realisation was further deepened with every consecutive meeting. In fact, my affection for you grew with every one of these meetings. Our conversations have, I think, made sufficiently clear to you the kind of person I am, and the things that are important to me, and these things ordinary people will not understand. I have seen in you the distinct ability to understand people which I have not seen in any other person, at least not in a woman. I confess it was beyond my hope to meet with this rare combination of elements both solid and attractive. Remembering you keeps me occupied in my vacant hours to such an extent that I have decided to ask for your hand to lighten my solitariness. Such, my dear Miss Brooke, is the accurate statement of my feelings and I rely on your kind self to tell me how much of you likes me as I do you. To be accepted by you as your husband and the earthly guardian of your welfare, I should regard as the highest of God’s gifts. In return I can at least offer you affection and the assurance that I have lived my life well enough so far for you to find no bitterness or shame in marrying me. I await the expression of your sentiments with an anxiety which it would be the part of wisdom to push away by sinking myself in more work than usual. If you choose not to accept my proposal I cannot but feel that resignation to solitude will be more difficult after the temporary illumination of hope. In any case, I shall remain, yours with sincere devotion, Edward Casaubon Dorothea trembled while she read this letter, then she fell on her knees, buried her face and sobbed. She could not pray under the rush of solemn emotion in which her thoughts became confused. She was in that mood till it was time to dress for dinner. How could it occur to her to doubt the letter, to look at it critically as a profession of love? Her whole soul was possessed by the fact that a fuller life was opening before her. Now she would be able to devote herself to large yet definite duties as the wife of an intelligent man; now she would be allowed to live continually in the light of a mind she could reverence. She was proudly delighted that she was chosen by the man whom her admiration had chosen. All Dorothea’s passion was transfused through a mind struggling towards an ideal life. After dinner, when Celia was playing the piano, a small kind of activity which symbolised the aesthetic part of the young ladies’ education, Dorothea went up to her room to answer Mr Casaubon’s letter. She wrote it over three times, not because she wished to change the wording, but because her hand was unusually uncertain, and she could not have it penned in a distinguishable and meaningful way. My dear Mr Casaubon, I am very grateful to you for loving me, and thinking me worthy to be your wife. I can look forward to no better happiness than that which would be one with yours. If I said more, it would only be the same thing written out a greater length, for I cannot now dwell on any other thought than that I may be through life, yours devotedly, Dorothea Brooke Extended Text (Reading and Use of English) Paper 1 – Part 3 Suggested reading strategy: QAR Hebat Bacaan F5 Strategi A+ E10(106-117).indd 111 10/19/2023 12:14:55 PM MU BAKTI SDN.

[8 marks] Later in the evening she followed her uncle into the library to give him the letter, that he might send it in the morning. He was surprised, but his surprise only issued in a few moments’ silence, during which he pushed about various objects on his writing table, took something and finally looked at the address of Dorothea’s letter.

118 When you think of the first aeroplane, who do you think of? Most people think of Orville and Wilbur Wright. 17 December 1903 is the day to remember. That was the day Orville won the toss of the coin. He made the first successful powered flight in history! The place was Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. The Wright brothers’ dream of inventing a flying machine finally came true. It all started when Orville was seven and Wilbur was 11 years old. Their father, Bishop Milton Wright, gave them a toy helicopter. It really flew.[2]That toy made them dream of flying. Their parents helped them to go after their dreams. Their mother, Susan K. Wright, was good with mechanical things. She went to college in Indiana. At that time, very few women went to college. She was very good at both Maths and Science. Her boys learned a lot from her. The boys still wanted to know about flight as they grew up. They read everything they could find about it. They studied what other people learned about flight. The Wright brothers also went into the printing business. They even printed a four-page newspaper. Then, people started riding bicycles. So, the brothers opened a bicycle repair shop. Their shop opened in Dayton, Ohio. It wasn’t long before they were making their own bikes. But, they still wanted to fly. [5]By 1900, the Wright brothers were ready to test their first glider. It was like a kite. They studied the best place to fly. They picked a sandy spot in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. They camped out there. Between 1901 and 1903, they went back and forth between Dayton and Kitty Hawk. They were getting closer to flying. Finally, on December 17, 1903, the time had come. That day, they flew four times.[6]Orville flew the Wright Flyer the first time. That flight lasted 12 seconds. It went 120 feet. Their second and third flights went up about 175 feet each. Wilbur flew the fourth flight of the day. It went 859 feet. It took 59 seconds.[7]After that last flight, the wind blew very hard. It blew the Flyer across the sand. The plane was too smashed up to fly again. They sent the good news about the flight to their father. They then packed their gear to head home in time for Christmas. The Wright brothers kept studying and testing new designs. They wanted to make their Flyer better. They began to teach others to fly. They even opened their own flying school. The brothers became rich and famous. Everything was going well for them. Sadly, in May 1912, Wilbur died from typhoid fever. Orville was 77 when he died. He died while trying to fix his doorbell. Orville had led a good life. He had travelled all over the world to meet with famous people. Even though he was so successful, Orville was still an ordinary guy. It is more than 100 years since that first flight. It is only right to honour the Wright brothers, as the Centennial of Flight comes near. We honour Orville and Wilbur for making the dream of flying come true. And, for forever changing our world. Adapted from Kids Science News Network A Read the text below.

120 Questions 1 to 8 are based on the given stimuli. Read the text carefully and choose the best answer A, B or C. An industrial designer in Austria has invented a device that can extract humidity from the air and condense it into water that can be consumed. The handy gadget, dubbed Fontus, can be attached to a bike so that cyclists can generate water during long-distance rides through the countryside, where there are very few pit stops. The solarpowered device consists of a condensator (which functions like a cooler) that is connected to a series of hydrophobic surfaces that repel water. As the bike-mounted gadget takes in air, and these surfaces get cold, condensation takes place. Fontus can produce 0.5 quarts (0.5 litres) of water in one hour in what is considered “really good” conditions, with temperatures between 86 degrees and 104 degrees Fahrenheit (30 to 40 degrees Celsius) and between 80 per cent and 90 per cent humidity. Adapted from https://sciencealert.com 1 Which of the following statements is true? A The device is available for sale in Austria. B There are many pit stops in the countryside. C The gadget can collect 0.5 litres of water in an hour. A team of researchers has created a new way to inject healthy human nerve cells into the brain that could someday help treat Parkinson’s disease and other devastating brain-related conditions that affect millions of people. 2 The word devastating can be best replaced with A crushing. B shattering. C destructive. An adult hippo stands at fi ve feet tall at the shoulder and a body length of 15 feet. The thick layer of blubber beneath its skin helps the hippo to reserve its body heat. Its ears, eyes and nostrils are placed in a straight line along the top of its head. This allows the animal to breathe and see things above the water when its body is in the water. Hippos eat only plants. An adult hippo can eat about one hundred pounds of grass each night. 3 The short text gives A advice on rearing hippos. B a description of the hippo. C information on how hippos move. Researchers in Melbourne, Australia reported that dark chocolate consumption on a daily basis could potentially avert more than 50 non-fatal and 15 fatal cardiovascular diseases per 10,000 people treated over 10 years. 4 The word avert can best be replaced with A prevent.

127 Old age is one of that life stages which has to be experienced by everyone as no one can avoid getting old.[1]When an individual reaches old age, that person really needs emotional support from their children just like how they had given to their children during their childhood. They took care of their children from the day they were born until they were able to do things on their own. But are children doing the same for their parents? When the children become successful in life, they are too busy to look after their parents. When the old parents really need support from their children,[2]their children will say that they are too busy with their own problems and they do not have time for their parents. Let me tell you one story that will definitely change your mindset and emotions that you might have for your parents when they reach old age. [3]One day a son decided to leave his mother at an old folks’ home after the death of his father. In the beginning, he visited her every couple of days. Then,[4]he stopped since he was too busy with his own life. Then one day, he got a call from the matron of the old folks’ home. She informed him that his mum was seriously ill and requested him to come and visit her immediately. After hearing this, the son immediately went and saw that his mum was indeed in a very critical stage; she was about to die. The son sat beside his mum and asked, “Mum, please let me know what I should do for you? His mum looked at him and slowly replied in a weak voice, “Firstly, please[5]install a few fans in the old folks’ home as there is not even a single fan here. At times, it becomes too warm. Secondly,[5]donate a fridge so that the old people can drink cold water when the weather is hot. The leftover food can also be kept in the fridge and heated up when anyone feels hungry. One should be able to have cold water in the summer in addition to storing extra food. She said that[6]there were many times she had to go to sleep on an empty stomach because there was not enough food. In reply to that, her son asked, “But Mum, you only have a few hours left. Why are you asking me to get these things now when you will have no need for them actually?” His mum looked up to him and replied, “It is ok, dear. I am only suggesting these to make sure you have a comfortable future. I’ve managed heat in the summer, pain and hunger but I am afraid that you will not be able to manage these things when your children decide to leave you in this old folks’ home in A Read the following text.
