HUNGRY POP STARS
Valerie Jones runs a company called Peanuts whose job is to look after pop stars and pop groups when they go on tour She is the person who feeds the stars and she’s been doing it for the past ten years
When the stars are playing at a festival, Valerie may have to cook for up to a thousand people, which includes all the crew and the people who work backstage She erects a marquee-a huge tent-and the food
is served buffet style from a central serving area She has to cater for different tastes, so there are normally four or more choices of menu She also has to look after people who may be on special diet or some singers don’t eat dairy food before a concert
She drives an enormous truck full of kitchen equipment and hires at least three walk-in refrigerators, a dishwashing unit and portable cabins which act as storerooms and office
All the bands have to queue up to be served and everyone has to have a meal ticket The stars are usually more relaxed when they are eating as no one is bothering them for autographs, although Valerie says that sometimes the security men and the stars’ managers are more trouble than the stars themselves
There are certain things which she always has to keep in stock like herbal teas and her own particular mixture of honey, lemon and ginger which singers like to keep in flasks on stage with them when they are singing Years ago bands used to drink quite a lot of alcohol, but these days they’re much healthier Most bands drink fresh fruit juice and prefer to eat salads
A lot of people in the bands are quite young and they’re not used to very expensive food, so Valerie prepares plain food unless a band sends her a “rider” This is a list of special requirements When people are tired, unwell or homesick they like to have familiar “comfort” food so she keeps a stock of people’s requirements just in case As a result of all this Valerie says she has become an expert shopper and in
less than an hour in a supermarket she can spend £1000
A lot of bands won’t eat before a concert because they’re too nervous, so Valerie and her staff can end up working very long hours as they have to be around to provide what people want at two or three in the morning One thing Valerie has noticed is that the madder a band is on stage, the more normal they are when they are off it She says she is amazed at the change in behavior A really wild singer can turn out to be really quiet and polite off stage
66 Peanuts is the name of _
A a pop band B a pop star C a pop concert D a company
67 Valerie has to provided a range of food because _
A people are very fussy about what they eat B people are used to eating in restaurants
C there is such a wide variety of preferences D there is such a demand for special menus
68 The singers are less nervous when they are eating because _
A their security men are with them B there are no fans hanging around
C their managers fuss over them D the bands enjoy eating together
69 Why does Valerie have to keep a supply of certain drinks?
A the bands really rely on a special recipe B the bands like to drink alcohol
C the bands prefer herbal tea to coffee D the bands take fruit juice on stage
70 What do most bands like best to eat?
A rich food B well-cooked food C junk food D simple food
71 What does “just in case” in paragraph 5 refer to?
A Valerie’s supply of more expensive food
B Valerie’s list of “riders” from the different bands
C Valerie’s supply of special food for various people
D Valerie’s understanding of people feeling sick
72 Why do you think Valerie has become an “expert shopper”?
A She has a lot of money to spend each week
B She has learnt to find what individuals want
C she has to buy as much as possible for £ 1000
D She has to shop very quickly in a supermarket
73 Why is a band likely to be hungry after playing?
Trang 21A They feel more relaxed after the concert

C They only have a snack before a concert
D They like to wait until they eat together
74 What does Valerie think about the singers?

III Read the passage carefully and choose the best answer A, B, C or D to each of the questions that follow
At the supermarket these days, there is often a selection or aisle that sells just organic products There are
also many new stores opening up that specialize just in organic fruits and vegetables Organic food is becoming more and more popular these days due to concerns about the safety of conventionally grown food
Organically grown produce, though, is often more expensive to buy Consumers need to understand why something is labeled “organic” in order to make the best choices when purchasing food for themselves and their families
Several factors contribute to this higher price Though there are some small differences, government agencies across the world agree on what qualifies a product as organic: such products must be grown without chemical fertilizers or pesticides Also, livestock, such as cows, pigs and chickens, must not be
injected with artificial growth hormones or antibiotics These standards result in food that is generally
healthier and tastier Without harsh pesticides and chemical fertilizers, crop plants produce more antioxidants and other beneficial nutrients The farmers, their families, and their communities also benefit from a cleaner and safer environment Fertilizer runoff is a major environmental problem and affects places far away from farms Their mass production also contributes to global warming Organic production techniques encourage environment stewardship for the Earth and long-term agricultural sustainability Those standards ensure a safe and nutritious supply of food from organic farms However, organic
farming reduces crop yields per farm while increasing the labor required As a result, organic food is generally more expensive The price difference may be offset slightly in the future, as consumers ask for more organically grown produce and more suppliers jump into the market to fill that demand Many people,
though, are willing to pay that extra cost for organic food, given the health and environmental benefits
B They often cost more than conventionally grown foods
C Organic foods aren’t readily available
D They don’t taste as good as other types of food
A Organic products’ low prices
B Concerns about the safety of conventionally grown food
C The increase in the number of organic food stores
D Customers’ love for organic food
5 Which of the following is a criterion for certification of organic food?
Trang 296 Who would most likely determine if something is considered organic?
7 What is one problem with conventional farming?
A Manufacturing fertilizers increases can give rise to global warming
8 What is one benefit of growing organic food?
10 What is the author’s tone in this passage?
2 “Don’t swim out too far,” the guard said to us (AGAINST)
The guard warned too far
3 We could not have finished our project without your help (BEEN)
Had it _ our project
4 Mr Meyer finds it extremely difficult to drive on the left (DIFFICULTY)

I’m sure it before he gets a promotion

LIVING IN THE VALLEY
We had been living in our valley for sixteen months when we first realized the dangers that could exist in the surrounding hills and threaten our very survival
(0) _B _ Until that time, we had felt safe and sheltered in our valley below the protecting hills Soon snow began to fall Within a day it lay some 15cm deep (1) _ But on the neighboring heights the snow was much deeper and stayed for longer Up there the wind blasted fiercely Deep in our valley, we felt only sudden gusts of wind; trees swayed but the branches held firm

The river seemed maddened as the waters poured almost horizontally down to its lower stretches Just a couple of meters from our cottage, the stream seemed wild beneath the bridge (5) _ For three days we prayed that it would stay below its wall Fortunately, our prayers were answered as the dam held and the waters began to subside Thanks to this protection, we can feel our home in the valley is still secure and safe
