For the last few months I have spent every Saturday in my flat and have done nothing more exciting than work at home, read the newspapers and watch television. I had begun feeling, bored with this and so, last weekend I though I would do something different. I rang up several of my friends and we decided to go to London for the day. I was really excited as I hadn't been to London since I was ten. We decided to go by coach as this was by far the cheapest means of transport that was available even though it meant that we needed to get up very early. Once in London we decided to take a sightseeing tour as we wanted to see some of the famous buildings. After the tour we bought some sandwiches and ate them in a small park. In the afternoon two of us went shopping and the others went to the theater. We met up again at 6:30 p.m. and went to a small restaurant in Soho. The meal was really good but, unfortunately, it took much longer than we had expected. We had to get a taxi back to the coach station. Luckily, we got there just two minutes before our coach left.

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 32to 38.

         In  the  20 th century,  magazines  have  been  a  major  growth  area  of  popular  publishing.  Specialist  magazines  cater  to  every  imaginable  field  and  activity.  In  the  United  Kingdom,  over  12,000 periodicals,  magazines,  bulletins,  annuals,  trade  journals,  and  academic  journals  are  published  on  a regular basis. There are some 40 women‘s magazines and over 60 dealing with particular sports games, hobbies,  and  pastimes.  Although  some  US  magazines,  such  as  The  Saturday  Evening  Post,  has succumbed  to the  circulations, The Reader‘s Digest over 16 million, the National Geographic over 10 million. For many people, magazines have been the most available and widely used form of continuing education, providing information about history, geography, literature, science, and the arts, and as well as guidance on gardening, cooking, home decorating, financial management, psychology, even marriage and family life.
            Until the rise of television, magazines were the most available form of cheap, convenient entertainment in the English-speaking world. Radio served a similar function, but it was more limited in what it  could do. Magazines and television, however, both address the more powerful visual sense. During the third quarter of the 20 thcentury, coincident with a dramatic rise in the popularity of television, many generalinterest, especially illustrated magazines went out of business. The shift in attention of a mass audience from reading such magazines to watching television has been a major factor in this decline, but it is an implicit  tribute  to  the  older  genre  that  its  programs  are  generally  organized  i n  a  single  format  and content.

According to the passage, which of the following magazines is no longer printed?

A. The Saturday Evening post     

B. The Reader‘s Digest       

C. The Natio

D. The National Geographic
