Banford now has a population approaching 100,000 .In 1950 it was only a village, but under the Planning Act of 1955 it was scheduled as the site for a new town with a population of 300,000 by 1990. It was planned as a growth area for light industry, which the Government attracted by providing interest-free loans to companies willing to move there. The town has several new housing estates, good school and plenty of built-in green spaces. As with many new towns, however, it lacks leisure facilities. There was so much basic building required that the building of entertainment facilities had to be neglected.

Because the housing, school and parks are good, Banford is popular with younger married couples with children. The older residents, however, are not so impressed with what the town has become; they remember when Banford was a village with calm and rural charm and they do not see what they have gained by it’s expansion to offset the noise and other urban problems. For them, the new Banford lacks character, warmth, and any real focal point. They say that it is more difficult to meet people now and that they are even afraid of going out at night because of gangs of teenagers. The young people, for their part, express their boredom-complaining that there is nothing for them to do in Banford. They feel that the town has a population of a big city but none of its attractions; a town with more night life, amusement centres, and sports facilities would better suit their needs.

1. The government attracted industry by providing

A. financial incentives B. a large labour force C. good housing D. green spaces.

2. When was the new town built?

A. the green spaces were built on B existing parks were left.

C. parks were included in the design D. green spaces were attracted to the schools.

3. Young couples like Banford because

A. it satisfies their needs. B. it has many housing estates.

C. there are plenty of jobs D. it has rural charm.

4. The old people think that

A. Brandord has no real center B. the town is badly heated

C. The townspeople dont want them C. the young people are bored

5. Teenagers would like to Branford to be

A. more like the village it was B. more like a big city

C. less populated D. more friendly

Farmers, however, used to worship the rain god almost as much as the sun god. Even today there are ruins of great pyramids they used to build to worship the sun and the rain gods.

Another popular god was the wind god, which took the form of a snake with feathers. This feathered snake was also the god of knowledge for the Ancient Mexicans. Under its influence, civilization spread throughout Mexico, which at that time was mostly a peaceful country with plenty of skilled craftsmen and traders. Unfortunately, news of this civilisation eventually spread, and Mexico was invaded from the far north. Later, other people called Aztecs settled in Mexico. At first they used to live on an island in a lake where Mexico city now is.

VI. Read the passage and answer the following questions. (2ps)

Alexander Fleming was born in 1881 in Scotland. He went to a small school in a village, and when he left school he didn't go to university. He worked for five years in an office. But his brother, Tom, was a doctor and helped Fleming to go to university and study medicine. So he went to London University and in 1906 he became a doctor. In 1915, Fleming married Sarah McElroy, an Irish woman. They had one son. During the First World War, many soldiers died in hospital because they didn't have the right medicines. So after the war, Fleming tried to find a drug that could help them. He worked for many years and in 1928 he discovered a new drug and he called it "penicillin". He later worked with an Australian and a German scientist to develop a drug that doctors could use. In 1945, they won the Nobel Prize in medicine for their work on penicillin.

1.How many children did he have?

MY VILLAGE

We are Khmer Krom, one of the biggest ethnic groups in the south of Viet Nam. We live by farming - mostly rice - and fishing on the Mekong River. Life is sometimes hard as our work depends heavily on the weather. When it is not harvest time, the men of the village go fishing from early morning and don't return until late afternoon. By the time they return, most of the village women will be waiting for them on the river bank. They wait to buy the fish, which they will later sell at the local market or bring to the nearby town for a higher price. We children will be there too. We love running around the beach and waiting for the boats to come in.

Our most important festival of the year is the Chol Chnam Thmay, which celebrates the New Year. It falls mid-April. Every family tries to prepare well for the festive activities. The community also visits and helps poor families so that everybody has a happy New Year.

1.What does the Khmer's work depend on?

2.What do the men of the village do when it is not harvest time?

3.Who will be waiting for the fishing boats to return at the end of a fishing day?

4.When do the Khmer Krom celebrate New Year?
