Read the text. Then choose the correct answer to questions 32-33. The best present I got on my 16th birthday was the chance to play the National Lottery. I was really jealous of my parents and my older friends who put a bet on every week, so when I became old enough, I couldn't wait to try it. I picked a set of numbers and from then on I used the same ones every time I played. My school exams finished on 13th June, so to celebrate, I put £3 on a Lottery ticket. That evening, just Mum and I were at home watching the numbers being drawn on TV. As the numbers were called, my heart started pounding as I matched them to my ticket. "Mum. I've won the Lottery!", -1 shouted. We were so shocked we couldn’t speak! Dad came home from work and I made him check the numbers too, just to make sure we weren't going mad. But even after he'd checked them, I still wouldn't allow myself to believe it, until finally I nervously dialed the number on the back of my ticket. "Well, Mr. Selby, at the moment it looks as if you’ve got a winning ticket. Go to your regional center and they’ll confirm it".

Read the text. Then choose the correct answer to questions When it is hot and humid outside, most of us enjoy air-conditioning. Although many people believe that air-conditioning only cools the indoor air, it also controls its moisture content and cleanliness. Because human comfort depends on humidity to a large degree, air-conditioning can remove moisture from the air or add it as necessary. Air-conditioning devices also control air circulation by bringing in fresh air and removing polluted air. During winter, it warms the air to a comfortable temperature and pumps clean, moist air into the quarters where people live and work. In business offices, air-conditioning improves the efficiency of workers. In air-conditioned offices, employees become less tired, make fewer mistakes and have fewer accidents. The same can be said about drivers who may feel tired and sleepy while sitting in a warm vehicle. That is why driving an air-conditioned car makes one less prone to accidents, especially in the afternoon or evening.

Read the passage. Then choose the correct answer to questions 32-33. Carnegie Hall, the famous concert hall in New York City, has again undergone a restoration. While this is not the first, it is certainly the most extensive in the building’s history. As a result of this new restoration.

Carnegie Hall once again has the quality of sound that it had when it was first built. Carnegie Hall owes its existence to Andrew Carnegie, the wealthy owner of a steel company in the late 1800s. The hall was finished in 1891 and quickly gained a reputation as an excellent performing arts hall where accomplished musicians gained fame. Despite its reputation, however, the concert hall suffered from several renovations over the years. During the Great Depression, when fewer people could afford to attend performances, the directors sold part of the building to commercial businesses. The renovations seriously damaged the acoustical quality of the hall. But now the builders restored the hall to its original appearance and it has never sounded better, and its prospects for the future have never looked more promising.

A) more and more people attending the concert hall.

B) changes to Carnegie Hall.

Read the text. Then choose the correct answer to questions 34-36. We are so used to wearing shoes that few of us even think about them, apart from the times when we put them on and take them off. However, people didn’t always wear shoes. No one knows when people first began to use them, it is reasonable to suppose that the first shoes that covered feet were wrappings of animal skins worn in cold climates. Sandals worn in southern regions were most likely made of wood, with leather or cloth attaching the soles to the upper part of the foot. Over time, shoes became used not only for protection but also for decoration. For example, high heels came into fashion in the sixteen hundreds and were worn by men. However uncomfortable they are, people have continued to wear them for more than three hundred years. Today's shoes are relatively cheap because most models are designed by computer, and their components are cut by laser and sewn together by programmed machinery.

One day in 1963, a dolphin named Elvar and a famous astronomer, Carl Sagan, were playing a little game. The astronomer was visiting an institute which was looking into the way dolphin communicate with each other. He was standing at the edge of one of the tanks where several of these highly intelligent, friendly creatures were kept. Elvar had just swum up alongside him and had turned on his back. He wanted Sagan to scratch his stomach again, as the astronomer had done twice before. But this time Elvar was too deep in the water for Sagan to reach him. Elvar looked up at Sagan, waiting. Then, after a minute or so, the dolphin leapt up through the water into the air and made a sound just like the word "More!”
