When you hear a question, read the four possible answers on your paper and decide which one would be the best answer to the question you have heard.
Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage.
Balloons have been used for sport for about some hundred years. There are two kinds of sport balloons-gas and hot air. Hot air balloons are safer than gas balloons which may catch fire. Hot air balloons are preferred by most balloonists in the world because of their safety. They are also cheaper and easier to manage than gas balloons. The best time for sport balloon flights are early in the morning or late in the afternoon. With wind it flies. Over the years balloonists have tried unsuccessfully to cross the Atlantic Ocean. It wasn't until 1978 that American balloonists succeeded. It took them just six days to make their trip from their homes in the United States to Paris, France. Their voyage captured the imagination of the whole world.
Questions:
11. Why are hot air balloons preferred by most balloonists in the world?
12. What is the best time for sport balloons flights?
13. How many days did the American balloonists spend making their trip from their homes in the United States to Paris in a balloon?
Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage.
Every day, in all kinds of weather, thousands of men and women jog. Why has jogging-running slowly for long distances become so popular? Most joggers do it because they are told it is a very good exercise. Jogging makes the heart stronger and helps people lose weight. It can also help them feel better about themselves.
Donald Robins, who is forty-two years old and works in an office, began jogging a few years ago because he felt he was too fat. At first he could only run about 100 yards. It took him three months to be able to run a mile. But two years later, he ran in a marathon race over 26 miles. Many joggers, like Donald Robins, feel that if they can succeed in jogging, they can succeed in other things also, and quite often this feeling helps them at their jobs.
Questions:
14. What is jogging?
15. Which is not the advantage of jogging?
16. Why did Donald Robins begin jogging?
