Fiction is the writing of a story or text that is not true. It can be written in the form of either poetry or prose. Poetry is a style of writing in which short lines form verses. Often, words at the end of these lines rhyme, like "bed" and "red." We call a group of verses about one subject a "poem." Prose writing does not have verses, nor does it rhyme. It uses sentences and paragraphs. Prose is used in magazine articles, newspaper stories, short stories, and books.
Prose fiction has existed since ancient times, but most early fiction was actually written as poetry. Scholars disagree about the date of the first prose fiction book, or novel. Some scholars classify fictional stories from ancient Greece and Rome as the earliest novels. Others claim there were novels in Asia as early as the 6th century. These early novels were mostly short adventure stories about fictional characters.
In Europe, prose fiction began to seriously challenge poetry in the 16th century. A Spanish author, Cervantes, wrote Europe`s first prose novel in the early 1600s. However, longer novels, like Cervantes`s Don Quixote, did not become very popular until the 1700s. By that time, there were more printing presses, and more people knew how to read. In addition, more people had money to buy these books. Today, the vast majority of fiction is written in prose rather than in poetry.

By adopting a few simple techniques, parents who read to their children can considerably increase their children’s language development. It is surprising, but true. How parents talk to their children makes a big difference in the children’s language development. If a parent encourages the child to actively respond to what the parent is reading, the child’s language skills increase.
A study was done with two or three-year-old children and their parents. Half of the thirty children participants were in the experimental study; the other half acted as the control group. In the experimental group, the parents were given a two-hour training session in which they were taught to ask open-ended questions rather than yes-no questions. For example, the parent should ask, “What is the doggy doing?” rather than, “Is the doggy running away?” Experimental parents were also instructed how to expand on their children’s answer, how to suggest alternative possibilities, and how to praise correct answers.
At the beginning of the study, the children did not differ on levels of language development, but at the end of one month, the children in the experimental group were 5.5 months ahead of the control group on a test of verbal expression and vocabulary. Nine months later, the children in the experimental group still showed an advance of 6 months over the children in the control group.
Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions form 16 to 20.
16: Parents can give great help to their children’s language development by_____ them.
adopting B. reading to C. experimenting D. responding to

C. give correct answers D. ask open-ended questions
19: What was the major difference between the control group and the experimental one in the study?
A. The training that parents received. B. The books that were read.
C. The number of participants. D. The age of the children.
20: What conclusion can be drawn from this passage?
A. Children’s language skills increase when they are required to respond actively.
B. The more children read, the more intelligent they become.
C. Two or three-year-old children can be taught to read actively.

It is very important to have healthy teeth. Good teeth help us to chew our food. They also help us to look nice. How does a tooth go bad? The decay begins in a little crack in the enamel covering of the tooth. This happens after germs and bits of food have collected there. Then the decay slowly spreads inside the tooth. Eventually, poison goes into the blood, and we may feel quite ill. How can we keep our teeth healthy? Firstly, we ought to visit our dentist twice a year. He can fill the small holes in our teeth before they destroy the teeth. He can examine our teeth to check that they are growing in the right way. Unfortunately, many people wait until they have toothache before they see a dentist. Secondly, we should brush our teeth with a toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste at least twice a day - once after breakfast and once before we go to bed. We can also use wooden toothpicks to clean between our teeth after a meal. Thirdly, we should eat food that is good for our teeth and our body: milk, cheese, fish, brown bread, potatoes, red rice, raw vegetables and fresh fruit. Chocolates, sweets, biscuits and cakes are bad, especially when we eat them between meals. They are harmful because they stick to our teeth and cause decay.

A. look important B. chew our food C. look nice D. have good eyesight
42: When food and germs collect in a small crack, our teeth _____.
A. make us feel quite ill B. send poison into the blood
C. become hard D. begin to decay

A. they have brushed their teeth B. their teeth grow properly
C. they have toothache D. they have holes in their teeth

Out in the Pacific Ocean, 3,700 kilometres from Los Angeles, are the islands of Hawaii, the fiftieth state of the United States, with its area of 16,700 square kilometres. The first Hawaiians arrived from other Pacific islands sometime around 100 A.D. Then in 1778, Captain Cook visited Hawaii. He put the islands on his maps of the Pacific Ocean. Then more ships knew Hawaii and began stopping there for supplies.
In 1820, a small group of people from the eastern United States came to teach the Hawaiian people about Christianity. They started farms to grow sugar cane and pineapples. Because there were not enough people to do all the farm work, farm owners brought in Asians – Chinese, Japanese, and Filipinos. Later Koreans, Portuguese, and Puerto Ricans also came. More people came from the U.S.mainland and from other Pacific islands, and Hawaii became an island with traditions from several countries. People from the various national groups have married each other, so today the groups are partly mixed. Hawaiians are very friendly and always welcome visitors. They celebrate traditional Chinese, Japanese, and Filipino holidays as well as holidays from the United States. Hawaii is known as the Aloha State. “Aloha” means “hello”,“goodbye”, and “I love you” in Hawaiian.
