IV. Read the passage and choose the best answer.

Joan Chen is famous both in China, where she grew up, and in the United States, where she now lives. How did Joan become a famous actress in both countries? It’s an interesting story. Joan Chen was born in Shang Hai in 1961. When she was 14, some people from a film studio came to her school and chose her to study at the studio. She was happy about this chance, but mainly she liked the idea of getting out of school. Soon, however, she discovered that she really liked acting. At the age of 18, she won the Golden Rooster, China’s top film award. In the late 1970s, Joan’s parents, who were doctors, moved to the United States.

III.(9 points)Read the passage and write T if statements are true and F if statements are false.

Madagascar – When to go

Madagascar has two seasons, a warm, wet season from November to April, and a cooler dry season between May and October. However, different parts of the country have very different weather.

The east coast is hotter and wetter, with up to 4000 mm of rainfall per year. In the rainy season, there are strong winds, and these can cause a lot of damage.  Avoid visiting eastern Madagascar between January and March because the weather can make road travel very difficult.  The dry season is cooler and more pleasant.

The high, central part of the country is much drier and cooler. About 1,400 mm of rain falls in the rainy season, with some thunderstorms, but the summer is usually sunny and dry, but it can be cold, especially in the mornings, with freezing showers, and it may snow in mountain areas above 2,400m, and even stay there for several days.

The west coast is the driest part of the island. Here, the winter months are pleasant with little rain, cooler temperatures and blue skies.  The summers can be extremely hot, especially in the southwest.  This part of the country is semi-desert, and only gets around 300 mm of rain per year.

1  Madagascar has four seasons: spring, summer, autumn and winter.

2  There is more rain in January than in June.

3  The wet season is colder than the dry season.
