Task 2

Read the text below. For questions (1-5) choose the correct answer (A, B, C or D).

Every week, Dr Doppit goes round the wards at the children's hospital. But instead of a white coat and a stethoscope, Dr Doppit has a red nose and carries balloons. She is the hospitals "clown doctor” and her real name is Hilary Day.

After studying drama at university, Hilary saw an advert for a clown doctor at the hospital. "The job was perfect for me, she says. "My mother and grandmother were both nurses, so caring for people is in my blood. Also, I love doing children's theatre"

Before she started, Hilary did four weeks training, where she learnt how to do magic tricks and make balloons into funny shapes. She also had to study child psychology and basic medicine.

Her visits to the hospital start with a meeting with the nursing stuff to find out which patients a visit will be most useful for. Most children are delighted to see a clown, but there are some who are too ill, or are afraid of clowns. Hilary always checks first. Then she does some magic, makes balloon animals or tells them a story.

We know that laughing can have a positive effect on a person's health, says Hilary. "It produces chemicals in the brain that make you relax and feel better. Everyone agrees that regular visits from Dr Doppit can make a big difference to a child's recovery. "Children in hospital miss their everyday life at home and at school, says one hospital manager. "As well as possibly being frightened and homesick they are often bored. The clown doctor gives them something to look forward to and happy memories to take home afterwards.”

1.What is the writer's aim in this text?   [A, B, C, D]

A To describe a typical day in a children's hospital.

B To explain a method of helping young patients.

C To encourage doctors to learn some circus skills.

D To show students how to get a job in a hospital.

2.Why was Hilary particularly suitable for the job of a clown doctor?   [A, B, C, D]

A She had studied medicine at university.

B She already knew how to do magic.

C She enjoyed working with children.

D She had been a nurse in a hospital.

3.Before Hilary starts, the stuff tell her which children   [A, B, C, D]

A have asked to see her.

B are going to leave the hospital soon.

C want to hear a particular story.

D will benefit most from her visit.

4.The hospital manager thinks that Dr Doppit's visits   [A, B, C, D]

A are useful if the parents can’t visit.

B help children get better more quickly.

C might be frightening for some children.

D help the children forget they stay in hospital

5.What can Dr Doppit influence?   [A, B, C, D]

A Parents behavior

B Nurses' work.

C Kids getting better.

D Hospital manager’s decisions.

Task 3. Read the texts below. Match choices (A-H) to (1-6). There are two choices you do not need to use.

1.   [A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H]Rooked in the monolithic hierarchy of caste, poverty remains a harsh fact of life for around forty per cent of India’s inhabitants. No other nation on earth has slum settlements on the scale of those in Delhi, Mumbai and Calcutta.

2.   [A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H]Urban Australians celebrate the typical New World values of material self-improvement through hard work and hard play, with an easy-going vitality that visitors, especially Europeans, often find refreshingly hedonistic.

3.   [A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H]Industrialized at lightning speed, Japan shed its feudal trappings to become the most powerful and outwardly aggressive country in Asia in a matter of decades.

4.   [A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H]After trekking and rural relaxation, most visitors want to head for the beach - and Thailand's eastern and southern coasts are lined with gorgeous white-sand shores, aquamarine seas and kaleidoscopic reefs. The most popular of these are the east coast backpackers' resorts of Ko Samet and Ko Chang.

5.   [A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H]Brunei is more expensive than neighbouring Malaysia or even Singapore- hotel prices in the capital are at least double those in nearby Kota Kimabalu or Miri. Most travellers end up in Brunei either because of an enforced stopover on a Royal Brunei Airlines flight, or as a stepping stone to either Sabah or Sarawak.

6.   [A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H]The original Banana Republic, a byword for corruption and poverty, Honduras is all too often overlooked by foreign tourists. Many of those who do make it here head straight for the ruins of Copin, one of the finest Maya sites in the region.

B see the most powerful and industrialized country

C visit the ruins of Copin
