What are you wearing?
The world of clothes and fashion is changing. In the 1950s, men wore a suit for work and
women never went out without a hat and gloves. Today, people can wear jeans and a T-shirt in the
office and young men only wear a suit for interviews or weddings. Colours are also different. People
wear blue, green, yellow, and red as well as more formal colours like black, grey, and brown. One of
my male friends works in an office and he is wearing jeans and a pink shirt!
Sports clothes are surprisingly popular nowadays. I am wearing jogging trousers, a T-shirt
and trainers, but I don’t go jogging! I love wearing them because they are fashionable and
comfortable. People sometimes wear ski jackets and walking boots or trainers when they go to the
pub! Children are interested in fashion, too. In the past, parents chose and bought clothes for children
and teenagers. Now, they choose their own clothes and often like to have designer labels. My sister’s
children are wearing Paul Smith jeans, Donna Karan T-shirts and Nike trainers at the moment. I
think she spends more money on clothes for them than I spend on my clothes!
I like today’s fashion because it is more informal, and men and women can wear the same
things. I often borrow my boyfriend’s trousers, shirts and T-shirts −but he doesn’t borrow mine!
21. What is the writer's main aim in writing the text?
A. to describe her favorite types of clothes
B. to complain about how children nowadays only wear designer clothes
C. to talk about how fashion has changed over time
D. to encourage people to wear comfortable clothes like t-shirts and trousers.
22. The writer ………………….. .
A. hates wearing men’s clothes C. wears ski jacket to the pub
B. prefers casual clothes D. loves Paul Smith and Nike
23. What can the readers learn about clothes form the text?
A. We have to pay a lot of money for them C. They used to be more colorful
B. They are unpredictable D. They are mainly sport clothes
24. What does the author say about jogging?
A. She can wear formal clothes like a suit for jogging.
B. She is not interested in it.
C. She does not do it.
D. She does it so that she can wear sport clothes.

I got involved in the house-building project through my Uncle Brian. We went to stay with
him in the United States for six weeks during the summer holiday. He was helping out on the project
and asked me to come along. At first I wasn’t interested. I was enjoying watching lots of new
channels on TV! But after a while I got bored and went along to see what he was doing. I realised
that what he was doing was really great!
He was helping out for an organisation that builds houses for people who can’t usually afford
them. Instead, the organisation buys all the things you need to build a house. It lends the family the
tools and hires some guys who know what they’re doing. They also get people like my uncle, who
aren’t builders but who just want to help out in the community, to do the more simple building jobs.
The family eventually pay all the money back to the organisation, but they can do this over many
years, and it’s much cheaper than buying a new house.
 I helped out with moving dirt and preparing tea. It was a bit disappointing that I wasn’t
allowed to use the tools and do jobs like cutting wood. I understand why they do it, but I do design
and technology at school so I know I could do it right. Some people had no idea how to use a
hammer correctly! But if I go back next year, I’ll be able to do it, because I’ll be fifteen then.

21. Why was the writer’s uncle involved in the building project?
A. He lent the family his tools.
B. He is a qualified builder.
C. He enjoys helping out other people.
D. He wants to build his own house.
22. Which of the following is true about the building project?
A. The organisation provides free homes for poor people.
B. The project was filmed and shown on television.
C. No experienced builders were needed to build the house.
D. The future owners helped to build the house.
23. The writer was surprised that…
A. his uncle had such good building skills. B. some adults didn’t know how to use tools.
C. he wasn’t allowed to cut wood. D. houses are so expensive in the USA.
24. The writer will be able to use the tools next year because
A. he is planning to study design and technology.
B. he will be old enough.
C. his uncle is going to teach him how to use them.
D. there will be fewer people on the project.

25. What might the writer write in his diary about his experience?
A. Building the house was okay, but it wasn’t as fun as watching American TV!
B. I learnt a lot of useful things for my design and technology course from working on the
building project.
C. I really enjoyed building the house. It gave me the chance to use my design and
technology skills.
D. Building the house was better than watching TV, but I wanted to do more building work.

American Black Ducks - by Sam Prentice, wildlife biologist
I work at a US university where my team and I are trying to learn more about water birds,
particularly one called the American black duck. And we’ve just started using an exciting piece of
equipment called a ‘night-vision scope’, which allows us to see the ducks in the dark!
We’re worried about black ducks mainly because their numbers have fallen hugely and we
don’t know whether there’s enough food on the east coast for these animals. There’s lots of
information about their daytime activities, but nothing about what they do at night because we
simply haven’t had the equipment. But this new ‘scope’ will produce really clear pictures, even on
moonless nights, so we’ll be able to find out more and make better decisions about looking after the
area where they live based on what we learn.
It’s very hard work. There four of us, each working six hours daily. We’ve studied ducks in
different locations, and I’ve had to take a boat to some sites and make notes on every duck I see. The
weather hasn’t helped – some nights are mild, but more often it’s wet. Oh, and it’s so quiet I’ve
needed lots of coffee to stop me from falling asleep! We’ve only missed one working day so far,
because the snow was too deep even for our special snow vehicles.
Still I like the challenge of it, especially compared to what the summer will bring – hours in a
laboratory, where we’ll look at our results together. It’ll be hard to be stuck inside- but it’s essential
to do this. And I wouldn’t change it for anything!
21. Why are the researchers worried about the black ducks?
A. because their population has decreased
B. because many of them fell and died
C. because things fell into them
D. because they ate dangerous food
22. Which statement is NOT TRUE?
A. Sam works with some people.
B. People don’t know much about what black ducks do at day time.
C. The ‘scope’ helps Sam’s team work better at night.
D. Sam works 6 hours a day.
23. What does the team have to do in the research?
A. look at the ducks in one place C. write things about the ducks down
B. walk to the ducks D. care for the weather
24. The work in bold “challenge” in paragraph 4 has the closest meaning to
A. interest C. defeat
B. defense D. difficulty
25. What does Sam say about working inside a lab over the summer?
A. He’s happy that he can avoid the hot weather.
B. He accepts that it’s a necessary part of his job.
C. He’s looking forward to studying his results
D. He’s happy that he will work with other people.
