Passage 1

Long, long ago there was a very foolish thief. Do you know what he did one day? When he wanted to steal the bell on his neighbour's door, he walked up to the door, took hold of the bell and pulled hard. The bell made a very loud noise. The thief was afraid and went home.

Then he sat down to think, "I must do something about the noise," he said. He thought and thought. At last he had an idea. "Ah, I'll put some cotton in my ears. Then I won't be able to hear the noise." The next day he went to the door of his neighbour, and took hold of the bell. This time he pulled even harder. The bell rang loudly, but

the thief did not hear anything. With another hard pull he got the bell out. Just then the neighbour came running out.

"Steal my bell? I'll teach you a lesson," the angry man shouted. And he hit the thief on the nose.

The foolish thief did not know how the neighbour found out he was stealing the bell. "Why did he come out just then?" he wondered.

Passage 2

It has been reported that in colleges across the United States, the daytime serial drama known as the soap opera has suddenly become "in". Between the hours of 11 a.m. and 4:30 p.m, college television lounges are filled with soap opera fans who can't wait to see the next episode in the lives of their favorite characters.

Actually, soaps are more than a college favorite; they're a youth favorite. When school is out, high-school students are in front of their TV sets. One young working woman admitted that she turned down a higher paying job rather than give up watching her favorite serials. During the 1960's, it was uncommon for young people to watch soap operas. The mood of the sixties was very different from now. It was a time of seriousness, and talk was about social issues of great importance.

Now, seriousness has been replaced by fun. Young people want to be happy. It may seem strange that they should turn to soap opera, which is known for showing trouble in people's lives. But soap opera is enjoyment. Young people can identify with the soap opera character, who, like the college-age viewer, is looking for happy love, and probably not finding it. And soap opera gives young people a chance to feel close to people without having to bear any responsibility for their problems.

11. What is soap opera? ________

A. Plays based on science fiction stories.

B. Plays based on non-fiction stories.

C. The daytime serial dramas on TV.

D. Popular documentary films on TV.

12. What can be the best title of the passage? ________

A. College student viewers.

B. Favorite TV serials.

C. Soap opera fans.

D. College-age viewers.
