Trang 3Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to choose the word
or phrase that best fits each of the numbered blanks from 26 to 30
Why is it that parents are so often egocentric when it comes to matters concerning their children? Although their intentions are undoubtedly altruistic, they assume that the choices (26) they make for their offspring are the right ones Take the question of colour, for example Who decides what colour trousers to buy for young Jimmy? Who chooses the colours for his bedroom or bedclothes? Unwittingly, parents condition their child's (27) _ of colour from a very early age Choosing a pair of pink trousers for their six-year-old son runs counter to (28) parents' idea of how to dress a boy, and they would
be loath to decorate their daughter's bedroom in brown
Yet the underlying criticism implied in that can be detrimental to the child's sense of the world around them Psychologists believe that allowing children to choose their own colours increases their self-confidence and their ability to (29) _ themselves They use colour as a means of helping children to identify their feelings and discuss them (30) , studies have shown that after listening to a sad story, children tend to draw in dark brown, black or grey, whereas one with a happy ending will evoke a response
in yellow or orange Giving children free rein to choose colours for themselves may help parents to understand them better

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 from 31 to 35
A survey of 5,000 adults has shown that one person in four invents details about their weekend because
they want to impress their friends When they are asked, "Did you have a good weekend?" they don't like
to say that they just stayed at home and watched TV because it sounds boring So they invent the details The most common lie that people told was "I went out on Saturday night," when really they didn't go anywhere Other common lies were "I had a romantic dinner," "I went to a party," and "I went away for the weekend."
In fact, in the survey, 30% of people who answered the questions said that they spent their weekend
sleeping or resting because they were so tired at the end of the week
Another 30% said that they needed to work or study on the weekend Psychologist Corinne Sweet says that people often don't tell the truth about their weekend "because we don't want to feel that everyone else
is having a better time than us, if we have had a boring weekend doing housework, paperwork, or just resting after a tiring week at work." She also believes that networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter may be encouraging us to invent details about our social lives "People can create an illusion of who they want to be and the life they want to live," says Corinne, "and of course they want that life to seem exciting."

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 from 36 to 42
Life in Cairo is both daunting and exhilarating With a population of more than 17 million, Egypt's capital city is one of the most vibrant and complex cities in the world Skyscrapers and five-star hotels loom over the River Nile, ancient mosques fill even the most westernised neighbourhoods and a millennium of Islamic architecture competes for space with 4,000-year-old Pharaonic monuments Downtown living has its ups and downs and it is more affordable than many of the more westernised areas of Cairo However, central Cairo isn't ideal for kids: good secondary schools are expensive and will
involve a lengthy commute In addition, food must be bought in grocery stores and a few overpriced
vegetable markets, rather than supermarkets Good nightclubs are also scarce Possibly the best nightlife
is the streets themselves, which bustle with life until the early hours of the morning For expats who want
to immerse themselves in an Arabic-speaking world, Islamic Cairo is only a ten-minute drive east of the city centre
The traffic, and therefore pollution, in this area is a major drawback: don't live here if you have allergies Still, it's as central as you can get with great public transport Driving in Cairo is an interesting experience Travelling even short journeys can take a long time simply because there are so many vehicles
competing for road space Taxis are cheap and plentiful but get bogged down in the heavy traffic Unexpectedly, there are relatively few collisions Regular Cairo drivers will explain that they are expert
when it comes to reaching their destination safely
For those who decide to relocate here, accommodation is easy to find and cheap by western standards, ranging from nineteenth-century colonial opulence to seventies tower blocks Islam remains the main cultural influence and the numerous religious festivals are major events for Cairo residents Dress is modest, even in the blistering summer heat, and you will be expected to follow suit by covering up in public
