I have twin brothers, Tim and Tom. They are very similar and a lot of people don’t
know which is which. They both have blond hair and blue eyes, and they always wear jeans
and T-shirts. They like doing the same things, too. For example, they both like jazz and
they’re crazy about football. They go to a football match once a week. Tim doesn’t like
dancing or discos and Tom doesn’t like them, either. Although they’re twins, they’re not
exactly the same at everything. Tim works hard at school because he wants to go to
university, but Tom is a bit lazy. Our mother is often away from home because of her job,
so we all work together in the house. Most of the time it’s fine, but sometimes we fight a
bit!

VI Read the following passage and answer each of the question below. ( 10 points )
We speak about the weather almost everyday. Before we begin doing something we want to know what kind of weather it is going to be.
Why do we speak about the weather so often? The answer is not difficult. We want sunny weather when we go for a walk in the country, and on a rainy day we stay at home reading books, watching TV or doing other things.
When we are at the seaside, windy weather is not pleasant . It is difficult to swim when the wind blows. And the wind can change good weather into bad one. The sun will stop shinning, and the rain may come.
And is there anything which we can do and must do in any weather? Yes, of coure there is. As English people say*rain or shine we must go to school.*.School is good in any weather, isn’t it?
It is obviously important for a farmer, a fisherman, an airplanr pilot, and a hip’s captain to know what the weather will be like. Unless they know what weather to expect , they cannot make their plans.

I.Read the passage and answer the questions with the given words and answer them
Many people who work in London prefer to live outside it, and to go to their offices, factories or schools every day by train, car or bus, even though this means they have to get up earlier in the morning and come home later in the evening.
One advantage of living outside London is that houses are cheaper. Even a small flat in London without a garden costs quiet a lot to rent. With the same money, one can get a little house in the country with a garden of one's own.
Then, in the country one can rest from the noise and hurry of the town. Although one has to get up earlier and spend more time in trains or buses, one can sleep better at night, and during weekends. In summer evenings one can enjoy the fresh, clean air of the country. If one likes gardens, one can spendone's free time digging, planting, watering and doing the hundred and one other jobs which are needed in a garden.Then,when the flowers and the vegetables come up,one has the reward of want who shared the secrets of Nature.
