I. Read the following text attentively and then decide whether the following statements are TRUE (T) or FALSE (F) (10 x1p=10p) 

A friend of mine once told me of his first efforts to speak Japanese. He was working in an American company in Tokyo where all communication in the workplace was conducted in English, so he had no pressing need to learn the language. His wife, however, was taking Japanese lessons and passed on to him what she had learnt. The first time he aired his Japanese in public, his efforts were met with politeness but nevertheless got the impression he was doing something wrong. Quite some time went by before one of his Japanese colleagues plucked up the courage to tell him he spoke Japanese ‘like a woman’ and explained that often different vocabulary is used for the same objects depending on whether a man or a woman is speaking. Japanese is not the only language which makes such distinctions, and, although the vocabulary doesn’t change, research shows that gender can affect speech patterns in English, too.

2. She was working in an American company in Japan. ___F____ 

3. Speaking Japanese at work wasn’t compulsory. ____T___

PHOTO PRINTING FIRM PAYS OUT COMPENSATION

Charlotte King made a once-in-a-lifetime visit to China last October and took lots of photographs of places, buildings and people she admired. At her return, she decided to send away her films for printing one at a time. To her mind, in this way she would more easily be able to match her photographs to the diary she had kept while she was visiting this part of Asia. It seemed that this was a great idea, because the first film she sent to the company for printing was lost.

Miss King was very upset that she would never see her precious pictures of Shanghai and Souzhou. She then decided to ask for compensation. The company offered her a free roll of film, but Miss King refused to accept this offer and wrote back to say that their offer wasn't enough. They then offered her £20 but she refused this too and asked for £75, which she thought, was quite fair. When the firm refused to pay she said she would go to court. Before the matter went to court, however, the firm decided to pay Miss King £75. This shows what can be done if you make the effort to complain to a firm or manufacturer and insist on getting fair treatment.

1. What is the writer trying to do?

(A) To complain about photographic printing.

(B) To give advice on how to print photos.

(C) To inform us about legal problems.

(A) a novel.

5. When Miss King said she would go to court, the company ...

(A) offered her £20.

(B) doubled their offer.

(C) decided to pay £75.

The snowman is the symbol for childhood as a time of  imagination , innocence, stories , playing ,having fun and being kind , most of us could say. The others, as I , believe that the girl is egocentric because she may had and interest in saving the snowman as a try to keep her entertained and happy.Year after year as time goes by, childhood is felt every time the girl opens the fridge where the snowman is kept safe. Finally she revisits the snowman but now she is not alone she is accompanied by her daughter. It is the right time to re-live her childhood together with the snowman and the child.
