However, he had a difficult start in life and, even when he was successful, he had to work very hard. Thomas Edison was born in Milan, Ohio, in 1847. He was the seventh and last child---the fourth surviving---of Samuel Edison, Jr., and Nancy Elliot Edison. As a child, he was often sick and had trouble hearing. Despite his health issues, he was a curious and ***[bright]*** boy. He loved to read and experiment, often spending hours in his mother's library. Edison had a difficult time in school because he couldn't hear well, but he loved to learn on his own. He built a laboratory in the basement of his parents' house when he was just 10 or 11, and started his own ***[business]*** selling newspapers, snacks, and candy on trains a year or two later. In some ways, Edison is remembered as much for his attitude to achievements as for the achievements themselves. He is well known as the person who made a light bulb that worked well, but before he succeeded in 1879, he had tried over 1,000 different materials to put the electricity through in the bulb. When people asked him about failing so many times, he said, '*[I didn't fail. I just found 1,000 ways that didn't work.]*' Edison's light bulb changed the world by bringing bright light into homes and streets in a very convenient way. But he didn't stop ***[there]***. Before he died in 1931, he registered more than 1,000 inventions, including the phonograph, which played music, and an early camera which was used to make the very first movies, although they were only a few minutes long. **Question 23.** The word **bright** in paragraph 2 is OPPOSITE in meaning to \_\_\_. A. intelligent B. impressive C. anxious D. stupid **Question 24.** The word ***[business]*** in paragraph 3 could be best replaced by \_\_\_. A. shop B. responsibility C. work D. matter **Question 25.** Which of the following best paraphrases the underlined sentence in paragraph 4? A. 'Finding so many different wrong ways to do thing was a success.' B. 'Those aren't my failures because they all contributed to my experience.' C. 'Being successful doesn't mean you are always right.' D. 'When things don't work, you are going the right way.' **Question 26.** The word ***[there]*** in paragraph 5 refers to \_\_. A. the place where Edison was living B. the point in Edison's life C. the point in Edison's career D. the place where Edison works **Question 27.** Which of the following is NOT mentioned as one of Edison's inventions? A. a device to play music B. a camera C. the movie D. the efficient light bulb **Question 28.** Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. Edison's trouble hearing was due to an accident in his childhood. B. Edison made a device which created full-length movies. C. Edison usually felt depressed and embarrassed after his failures. D. Edison had tried lots of different materials before he made a good light bulb **Question 29.** In which paragraph does the writer mention Edison's success not as an inventor? A. Paragraph 2 B. Paragraph 3 C. Paragraph 4 D. Paragraph 5 **Question 30.** In which paragraph does the writer explore Edison's background? A. Paragraph 1 B. Paragraph 2 C. Paragraph 4 D. Paragraph 5 ***Read the following passage about travelling abroad and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions from 31 to 40.*** Visiting a foreign country is an exciting adventure, especially for a young traveler! It's a fantastic way to explore a new culture, meet different people, and gain new perspectives on the world. To make the most of your journey, here are a few key tips to keep in mind. Whether it's trying a local dish, watching a national game, or visiting a beautiful temple high on a hill at sunrise, be open to experiencing the unique aspects of the culture. ***[This is your chance to step out of your comfort zone and learn something new!]*** Before visiting a new country, learn about some of the customs and traditions of the place you're visiting. **\[I\]** This shows respect and helps you blend in better. Read articles and online reviews on travel websites. Simple things like knowing how to greet people or dress appropriately can make a big difference in how you're ***[received]*** by locals. Also, find out about table manners -- how to eat food in public. While it's important to be cautious, don't let fear hold you back from exploring. **\[II\]** One piece of advice which I received is this: after arriving in a new town or city, get a plastic bag from a small local supermarket. Carry anything valuable that you must have with you in ***[it]*** so that you look like a local person going shopping. Most good hotels provide a safe in each room where you should keep all your valuables, including your passport. But always carry a copy of your passport, visa, and any other important documents with you. This way, if anything gets lost or taken, you'll have backups to help sort things out. **\[III\]** Ask at your hotel reception for advice on places to go and places to avoid. It's easy to get carried away when you are buying things in a foreign currency, so make sure you know the exchange rate, and always convert prices into dollars before ***[handing over]*** money. Look for student discounts or special deals for young travelers. **\[IV\]** Remember, experiencing a new culture doesn't have to be expensive. Indeed, sometimes the best experiences are free! **Question 31.** Where in text does the following sentence best fit? **"*The key thing is not to attract attention to yourself*."** A. \[I\] B. \[II\] C. \[III\] D. \[IV\] **Question 32.** The word ***[received]*** in paragraph 3 could be best replaced by \_\_ A. allowed B. got C. welcomed D. earned **Question 33**. The word ***[it]*** in paragraph 4 refers to \_\_ A. anything valuable. B. the local supermarket. C. the new town or city. D. the plastic bag. **Question 34.** Which of the following is NOT mentioned in paragraph 2? A. food B. language C. sightseeing D. sport **Question 35.** Which of the following best summarises paragraph 3? A. You should learn the local language. B. You should not stand out. C. You should do many things to prepare for a trip. D. You should wear the right clothes. **Question 36.** The phrase ***[handing over]*** in paragraph 6 is OPPOSITE in meaning to \_\_.

Seize the opportunity to do something unfamiliar and broaden your knowledge. B. Take the chance to visit foreign countries and get to know new places. C. Appreciate the chance to be somewhere comfortable and enrich your mind. D. Time to change your old self and enhance your experience. **Question 39.** Which of the following can be inferred from paragraph 5? A. hotel safes can be opened by thieves. B. valuable things can be stolen in the street. C. hotel staff sometimes steal things from rooms. D. passport copies can often be used for travel. **Question 40.** Which of the following best summarises the passage? A. Try not to stand out when you travel so as to stay safe in foreign lands. B.
