Reading Comprehension. There are 3 passages in
this section. Each passage is followed by 5
questions. For each of them there are 4
choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on
the
best choice.
Passage 1
In
recent years, large numbers of people are living
the single life, at least
temporarily,
for this reason or other. However, they are often
pressured to marry
by
their
families
and
friends,
who
regard
single
adults
as
irresponsible
and
unfortunate.
Rose
and
Bill
talk
about
the
frustrations
and
disagreements.
Rose
has
quarreled
with her family. Her parents
continually ask her why she
doesn
’
t get married and
have been putting pressure on Rose to
find a husband. This makes Rose angry.
Bill understands how Rose feels. He has also been
upset about how his friends
react
to
his
single
life.
His
female
friends
usually
find
him
dates
even
if
he
doesn
’
t
want
them.
They
introduce
him
to
new
people
as
the
eligible
bachelor.
Sometimes
Rose
and Bill feel they
might be better off financially if they each found
a marriage
partner. They know that two
people living together and earning two salaries
can
afford
more
than
a
single
person
can.
They
also
know
about
the
income
tax
advantages
that married
couples enjoy. However, for the moment, each of
them is committed to
remaining single.
Young people feel many pressures
not to get married. Rose has a very good job
at
the
bank
and
there
is
a
possibility
of
a
promotion
in
the
near
future.
A
promotion
means
a higher salary and more responsibility.
She questions whether she can
combine success in business with marriage. How
can
she
fully
and
completely
take
care
of
a
wife
’
s
duties
while
she
can
also
succeed
brilliantly in her office? Both demand
a great amount of time and work.
Bill,
too,
is
hesitant
about
getting
married
because
of
his
active
social
life.
He has many friends
and
is out with one of them
almost every
night. How
can he ever
settle down and
stay home with one person? Will he lose his
friends?
At this point Rose and
Bill are each trying to settle the questions of
whether
to
get
married
or
stay
single.
After
all,
marriage
means
responsibility.
Both
Rose
and
Bill know they will reach a decision without being
pressured.
1) Single adults are often
pressured to marry by _________.
A.
the society
B.
the law
C.
the married
people
D.
their
families and friends
2) Rose is
frustrated by her family
’
s
__________.
A.
constant pressure on her to get married

unwillingness
to accept Bill into the family
C.
ignorance of
her career potential
D.
all of the above
3) Both
Rose and Bill ______________.
A.
will probably
live together
B.
will come to a decision together
C.
are trying to
decide whether or not to get married
D.

their friends
’
advice
4) Bill is hesitant about getting
married because of ____________.
A.
his girlfriend
B.
his parents
C.
his active
social life
D.
his job
5)
The
sentence
“
they
might
be
better
off
financially
if
they
each
found
a
marriage
partner
”

best replaced by

__________
”
.
A.
Married couples usually enjoy more
luxuries
B.
Married couples may enjoy better tax
advantages
C.
Married couples can afford more than a
single person
D.
both A and B
Passage 2
Happiness
is
important
for
everyone.
Most
people
want
to
be
happy,
but
few
know
how to
find happiness. Money and success alone do not
bring lasting happiness.
Aristotle,
a
Greek
thinker,
said,
“
Happiness
depends
upon
ourselves.
”
In
other
words,
we make our own happiness. Here are a
few suggestions to help you be happier.
The
first
secret
of
happiness
is
to
enjoy
the
simple
things
in
life.
Too
often,
we
spend
so
much
time
thinking
about
the
future
---for
example,
getting
into
college
or
getting a good job---that we fail to enjoy the
present.
You
should
enjoy
life
’
s
simple
pleasures,
such
as
reading
a
good
book,
listening
to
your
favorite
music,
or
spending
time
with
close
friends.
People
who
have
several
close friends often live happier and
healthier lives.
Another secret to
living a happy life is to be active, and have
hobbies where
you
forget
your
problems
and
time.
Many
people
experience
this
dancing,
or
playing
a
sport,
such
as
swimming.
You
can
forget
about
your
problems,
and
only
think
about
the activity. Finally, many people find
happiness in helping others. If you want
to feel happier, do good things for
someone. You can help a friend with his or her
studies,
go
shopping
to
buy
food
for
an
elder
person,
or
simple
help
out
around
the
house
by washing the dishes.
6) The best
title of the passage is __________.
