Test 5

Read the following text and answer the questions.

About one hundred years ago many educated people learned and spoke French when
they met people from other countries. Today most people speak English when they
meet foreigners. It has become the new international language. There are many reasons
why English has become so popular. But business and the English culture (like movies,
music, and McDonald's) which has quickly spread throughout the world are considered
as the main reasons.

It's important to have a language that the people of the earth have in common. Our
world has become very global and we need to communicate with one another. On the
other hand, English is a fairly complicated language to learn and it brings its culture
with it. Do we really need that? May be the popularity of English won't last that long
either. Who knows? There are more people in the world who speak Chinese than any
other language. May be some day Chinese will be the new international language.

Test 8
Read the poem and answer ques�ons.

My Playmate
I often
wonder how
it is That on
a rainy day,
A little boy, just
like myself,
Comes out with
me to play. And
we step in all the
puddles When
walking into town,
But though I stand the
right way up, He's always
upside down.
I have to tread upon
his feet, Which is a
sorry sight.
With my right foot on his
left foot, My left foot on
his right.

I really wish he'd

talked to me, He
seems so very kind
For when I look and
 smile at him He does
the same, I find.
But I never hear
him speaking, So
surely he must be
In some strange land
the other side, just
opposite to me.
Mary I. Osborn

Test 10
Read the story and state whether the given statements are 'True' or 'False'. The fisrt one is done
for you.

A Wolf had been feasting too greedily, and a bone had stuck crosswise in his throat. He could
get it neither up nor down, and of course he could not eat a thing. Naturally that was an awful
state of affairs for a greedy wolf.
So away he hurried to the Crane. He was sure that she, with her long neck and bill, would easily
be able to reach the bone and pull it out.
"I will reward you very handsomely," said the wolf, "if you pull that bone out for me."
The Crane, as you can imagine, was very uneasy about putting her head in a wolf's thorat.
But she was grasping in nature, so she did what the wolf asked her to do.
When the wolf felt that the bone was gone, he started to walk
away. "But what about my reward!" called the crane
anxiously.
"What!" snarled the wolf, whirling around. " Haven 't you got it? Isn't it enought that I let you take
your head out of my mouth without snapping it off?"

i. The wolf was greedy when having meals. .........True..........

ii. A bone had stuck in crane's throat. .........................

iii. The crane was helped by the wolf. .........................
