My bedroom is often very messy. So after I read about minimalism in a magazine, I decide to do something about my bedroom. Minimalism is a style of living where you only keep the most important items and you throw away everything else. I started by throwing away a lot of the things which I didn’t use. Although it was quite difficult at first, I collected bags of clothes to give to charity. I sold some of my CDs and books online and other things I think I won’t need. After cleaning up cupboards, drawers and shelves, it actually became quite exciting to get things out of my room and create some fresh space. My room became larger and cleaner, I’m so longer stepping on things on the floor. I also feel a bit better, too.

VIII. Read the following passage and choose the item (A, B, C or D) that best answers each of the questions about it. (1.0 point)

Women hold up half the sky. This is an old Chinese saying. However, research shows that perhaps women do more than their share of “holding up the sky".

Fifty percent of the world's population is women, but nearly two-thirds of all working hours are done by women. They do most of the domestic work like cooking and washing clothes. Millions also work outside the home. Women hold forty percent of all the world's jobs. For this work they earn only 40 to 60 percent as much as men, and of course they earn nothing for their domestic work. In developing countries, where three-fourths of the world's population lives, women produce more than half of the food. In Africa, 80 percent of all agricultural work is done by women.

In parts of Africa, this is a typical day for a village woman. At 4.45 am, she gets up, washes, and eats. It takes her half an hour to walk to the fields, and she works there until 3.00 pm. She collects firewood until 4.00 pm then comes back home. She spends the next hour and a half preparing food to cook; then she collects water for another hour. From 6.30 to 8.30 she cooks. After dinner, she spends an hour washing the dishes. She goes to bed at 9.30 pm.
