PART I. READING COMPREHENSION (38%)
Directions: Read the passages given below and choose the best answer to the questions
attached to each of them.
Passage One
Questions 1-3 are based on the following passage.
If you like the idea of staying with a family, living in house might be the answer. Good
landladies---those who are superb cooks and launders, are figures as popular in fiction as the bad
ones who terrorize their guest and overcharge them at the slightest opportunity. The truth is
probably somewhere between the two extremes. If you are lucky, the food will be adequate,
some of your laundry may be done for you and you will have a reasonable amount of comfort
and companionship .For the less fortune ,house rules may restrict the freedom to invite friends to
visit, and shared cooking and bathroom facilities can be frustrating and row-provoking if tidy
and untidy guest are living under the same roof.
The same disadvantages can apply to flat sharing, with the added difficulties that arise from
deciding who pays for what, and in what proportion. One person may spend hours on the phone,
while another rarely makes calls. If you want privacy with guest, how do you persuade the others
to go out; how do you persuade them to leave you in peace, especially if you are student and
want to study?
Conversely, flat sharing can be very cheap, there will always be someone to talk to and go out
with, and the chores ,in theory, can be shared.

Passage Two
Questions 4-8 are based on the following passage.
I am afraid to sleep. I have been afraid to sleep for the last few weeks. I am so tired that,
finally, I do sleep, but only for a few minutes. It is not a bad dream that wakes me; it is the
reality I took with me into sleep . I try to think of something else.
Immediately the woman in the marketplace comes into my mind.
I was on my way to dinner last night when I saw her . She was selling skirts. She moved
with the same ease and loveliness I often saw in the women of Laos. Her long black hair was as
shiny as the black silk of the skirts she was selling. In her hair, she wore three silk ribbons, blue,
green, and white. They reminded me of my childhood and how my girlfriends and I used to
spend hours braiding ribbons into our hair.
I don’t know the word for “ribbons”, so I put my hand to my own hair and , with three
fingers against my head , I looked at her ribbons and said “Beautiful.” She lowered her eyes and
said nothing. I wasn’t sure if she understood me (I don’t speak Laotian very well).
I looked back down at the skirts. They add designs in them: squares and triangles and
circles of pink and green silk. They were very pretty. I decided to buy one of those skirts, and I
began to bargain with her over the price. It is the custom to bargain in Asia. In Laos bargaining is
done in soft voices and easy moves with the sort of quiet peacefulness.
She smiled, more with her eyes than with her lips. She was pleased by the few words I was
able to say in her language, although they were mostly numbers, and she saw that I understood
something about the soft playfulness of bargaining. We shook our heads in disagreement over the
price; then, immediately, we made another offer and then another shake of the head. She was so
pleased that unexpectedly, she accepted the last offer I made. But it was too soon. The price was
too low. She was being too generous and wouldn’t make enough money. I moved quickly and
picked up two more skirts and paid for all three at the price set; that way I was able to pay her
three times as much before she had a chance to lower the price for the larger purchase. She

smiled openly then, and, for the first time in months, my spirit lifted. I almost felt happy.
The feeling stayed with me while she wrapped the skirts in a newspaper and handed them to
me. When I left, though, the feeling left, too. It was as though it stayed behind in marketplace. I
left tears in my throat. I wanted to cry. I didn’t , of course.
I have learned to defend myself against what is hard; without knowing it, I have also
learned to defend myself against what is soft and what should be easy.
I get up, light a candle and want to look at the skirts. They are still in the newspaper that the
woman wrapped them in. I remove the paper, and raise the skirts up to look at them again before
I pack them. Something falls to floor. I reach down and feel something cool in my hand. I move
close to the candlelight to see what I have. There are five long silk ribbons in my hand, all
different colors. The woman in the marketplace! She has given these ribbons to me!
There is no defense against a generous spirit, and this time I cry, and very hard, as if I could
make up for all the months that I didn’t cry.
