A) You will hear a passage. Choose the best answer for each question according to the passage. The passage will be read twice.
During the week, I wake up each day at 6 o'clock. The first thing I do in the morning is to take a shower before breakfast. After breakfast, I usually listen to the radio while I am getting ready for school. Then I ride my bike to school. It takes about twenty minutes from my home to school. I usually have three classes a day; two in the morning and one in the afternoon. After my classes, I always go to the library to study and work on my term paper for a few hours. Then I go home and make dinner. After dinner I watch television for an hour or two to relax. Afterwards, I prepare for my classes of the next day. Most nights I go to bed around 11 or 12 o'clock.
B) You will hear a passage. Choose the best answer for each question according to the passage. The passage will be read twice.
Sometimes I worry about my twin brother. He is not here with me. My small happy family once lived in a beautiful city. My father was a doctor and my mother stayed at home, while my brother and I studied in a middle school. We had a good time together. But after a war, I lost everything—my happy life, my school, and my family. My dear father and mother were killed in the war. I don't know where my brother is or how he lives. Does he go to school? Does he have anyone to look after him like I do? I think of him all the time and I feel lucky to be here. Sometimes I almost forget my sadness because people here are very kind.
I don't worry only about my brother. I worry about everyone in my country. Many girls and boys lost their parents and brothers in the war, too. I hate wars.
