One day he became very ill and everyone thought he would die. They sent for a doctor, who arrived two days later and examined the sick man.

Overhead bridges are used in very much the same way as zebra crossings. They are more efficient although less convenient because people have to climb up a long flight of steps. This is inconvenient especially to older people. When pedestrians use an overhead bridge, they do not hold up traffic. However, when they cross a busy road using a zebra crossing, traffic is held up. This is why the government has built many overhead bridges to help pedestrians and to keep traffic moving at the4same time.The government of Singapore has spent large sums of money building these bridges. For their own safety pedestrians should be encouraged to use them instead of risking their lives by dashing across the road. Old people, however, may find it a little difficult climbing up and down the steps, but it is still much safer than walking across the road with all the danger of moving traffic.Overhead bridges serve a very useful purpose. Pedestrians, both old and young, should make it a habit to use them. This will prevent unnecessary accidents and loss of life.1. What is the advantage of overhead bridges mentioned in this passage?A. Taller vehicle can pass under them.B. Pedestrians can climb up and have a view of the city.C. They don’t hold up traffic and are safer for pedestrians.D. They are easier and more convenient for the pedestrians.2. Why were overhead bridges built in Singapore by its government?A. Because they do not hold up traffic.B. Because they provide an easy way for the drivers to cross the road.C. Because they save money for the government.D. Because they save time for the pedestrians.3. Which of the following is true according to this passage?A. Overhead bridges are found in places where traffic is heavy.B. Overhead bridges are found in every part of Singapore.C. Overhead bridges are found in many parts of the big cities in the world.D. Overhead bridges are only found in the capital Singapore.4. The expression “zebra crossings” in paragraph 2 means ____________.A. a safe place where pedestrians use to walk across a roadB. a big animal covered with alternating black and white stripes in AfricaC. a safe place where zebras walk aroundD. a safe place across a road for children to play a game5. What is the writer’s attitude towards overhead bridges?A. It is inconvenient to older people to walk across the road.B.

To build overhead bridges is the order of the government.Passage ThreeCars are an important part of life in the United States. Without a car most people feel that they are poor. An even if a person is poor he doesn’t feel really poor when he has a car.Henry Ford was the man who first started making cars in lar ge numbers. He probably didn’t know how much the car was going to affect American culture. The car made the Unite States a nation on wheels. And it helped make the United States what it is today.There are three main reasons the car became so popular in the United States. First of all, the country is a huge one and Americans like to move around in it. The car provides the most comfortable and cheapest form of transportation. With a car people can go any place without spending a lot of money.The second reason cars are popular is the fact that the United States never really developed an efficient and inexpensive form of public transportation. Long-distance trains have never been as5common in the United States as they are in other parts of the world. Nowadays, there is a good system of air-service provided by planes. But it is too expensive to be used frequently.The third reason is the most important one, though. The American spirit of independence is what really made cars popular. Americans don’t like to wait for a bus or a train or even a plane. They don’t like to have to follow an exact schedule. A car gives them the freedom to schedule their own time. And this is the freedom that Americans want most to have.The gas shortage has caused a big problem for Americans. But the answer will not be a bigger system of public transportation. The real solution will have to be a new kind of car, one that does not use so much gas.1. When do most Americans feel they are poor?A. When they don’t have a car.B. When they live in a huge country.C. When they don’t use planes.D. When they have a car.2. Why do cars become popular in the United States?A. The United States is huge.B. Public transportation is not so good.C. Americans like to be independent.D. Americans like to move around.3. What public transportation is good in the United States?A. Buses.B. Trains.C. Taxis.D. Planes.4. What has caused a big problem for Americans?A. A new kind of car.B. Public transportation.C. The gas shortage.D. Poor people.5. Which of the following is not mentioned according to this passage?A. Cars have made the nation on wheels.B. Cars have made the United States have a gas shortage.C. Nearly 80% of the American people have cars.D. Cars have made American independent.Passage FourOne of the favorite baseball players in the United States during the 1930’s was Leo Frangio.
