Write true (T) or false (F) for each of the sentences below, according to the information given. If the information is not in the paragraph write no information (NI) . (10 points)&nbsp;&nbsp; In Britain most schools are financed by the state and, for the children attending these schools, they are free. However; about 5 per cent of the school population attend private schools, and these are financed from pupils&#039; fees. The general pattern of schooling in Britain is as follows.All the children must start school at the age of five. Many have previously attended play schools or nursery schools, but these are not compulsory. Primary education, whether state or private, seeks to develop all aspects of the child: physical and emotional, as well as intellectual and cultural.Roughly at the age of 11 (but often somewhat. later, especially in the case of private education), children move to different schools. These are called secondary schools, and nowadays most of them are comprehensive, that is to say, children of all abilities go to the same school. Within some comprehensive schools children are put into different classes according to their intellectual ability; in others, children of different abilities are all kept together in the same class.In the first four or five years at a secondary school, the pupils have a set timetable of subjects, such as History, English and a foreign language, as well as science subjects and sports. At the end of this period most pupils take one or two public examinations, though these do not normally include all the subjects that the students have studied. In fact, a pupil may take the exam in as many, or as few, subjects as is thought suitable.&nbsp; &nbsp; After these exams, i.e. at the age of 16 or so, most pupils at state schools leave. Only about 30 per cent continue at school, compared with about 90 per cent in the small private sector. For those that stay on, in either type of school, the next two or three years are spent concentrating on a small number of subjects, and at the end of these years of concentrated preparation, the pupils usually take a public school-leaving examination in their three specialist subjects. Their results in these exams will largely determine whether they now start to work, or whether they can continue with higher education at a university or college.Answers&nbsp; (T, F or NI)________&nbsp; 1. School education in Britain is free of charge.________&nbsp; 2. School education is compulsory in Britain.________ 3. School education in Britain is mainly free of charge.________&nbsp; 4.

At the age of 16 or so, about 70 per cent pupils at state schools leave.Question 8: Read the following passage then answer the questions below (8 points).A healthful lifestyle leads to a longer, happier, healthier life. Staying healthy means eating well-balanced diet, getting regular exercise, avoiding things that are bad for the body and mind.Nutrition plays a key role in maintaining good health and preventing many diseases. In spite of all the&nbsp; information available about diets, scientists still believe that good nutrition can be simple. There are several basic rules to follow. Keep fat intake low. Eat foods high in carbohydrates. which are the starches in grains, legumes, (beans, and peas),vegetables, and some fruits. Avoid too much sugar. Limit salt. Eat lots of fruits and vegetables. which are high in vitamins. A healthy lifestyle is an active lifestyle. Lack of proper physical exercise can cause tiredness, irritability, and poor general health. Physical fitness requires both aerobic exercise, such as running, bicycle riding , and swimming, and muscle- strengthening exercise, such as weight-- lifting. Finally, good health is acquired saying no to bad habits such as smoking, drinking, and over-eating and by avoiding situations that are constantly stressful. People can take their lives and happiness into their own hands. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle is the first step.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Questions:1.

Question 1. Listen to people talking about different cities. What can you do in each place? Tick the lists below. You will hear the talk twice. 1. It’s not really the best place to shop. Prices are too high there nowadays. But the food’s great and quite cheap. It’s a wonderful place just to walk around in and look at the old buildings. But there aren’t any interesting museums or art galeries, I am afraid. 2. It’s a very nice place to visit if you like being outdoors. The scenery is beautiful. Take a bus trip around the island, and sail around it if you have time. You can also go skiing. Unfortunately, the water is too cold there for swimming. You probably won’t like the local food. It’s very spicy. 3. There are very good beaches there. Everything‘s quite cheap, so take plenty of money with you. There’s not much else to do. There’s only one hotel and no interesting old buildings. 4. There are several excellent museums and art galleries. If you like Chinese food you should visit China town. It’s fairly quiet at night though. It dosen’t have any good nightclubs or theatres. Now the second time: 1. It’s not really the best place to shop. Prices are too high there nowadays.

It’ll be fairly cool at this time of the year, so I don’t surpose we’ll be doing any swimming. I’d better pack the umbrella in case it rains. I’ll need a thick coat, too, if it’s going to be cold. That’s about everything. b. I’ll put all our things into the big suitcase. Now, where are all the presents we bought? I’ll put them in the top. I think I’ll get a new camera as soon as I arrive.

Write true (T) or false (F) for each of the sentences below, according to the information given. If the information is not in the paragraph write no information (NI) . (10 points) [/B] In Britain most schools are financed by the state and, for the children attending these schools, they are free. However; about 5 per cent of the school population attend private schools, and these are financed from pupils' fees. The general pattern of schooling in Britain is as follows. All the children must start school at the age of five. Many have previously attended play schools or nursery schools, but these are not compulsory. Primary education, whether state or private, seeks to develop all aspects of the child: physical and emotional, as well as intellectual and cultural. Roughly at the age of 11 (but often somewhat. later, especially in the case of private education), children move to different schools. These are called secondary schools, and nowadays most of them are comprehensive, that is to say, children of all abilities go to the same school. Within some comprehensive schools children are put into different classes according to their intellectual ability; in others, children of different abilities are all kept together in the same class. In the first four or five years at a secondary school, the pupils have a set timetable of subjects, such as History, English and a foreign language, as well as science subjects and sports. At the end of this period most pupils take one or two public examinations, though these do not normally include all the subjects that the students have studied. In fact, a pupil may take the exam in as many, or as few, subjects as is thought suitable. After these exams, i.e. at the age of 16 or so, most pupils at state schools leave. Only about 30 per cent continue at school, compared with about 90 per cent in the small private sector. For those that stay on, in either type of school, the next two or three years are spent concentrating on a small number of subjects, and at the end of these years of concentrated preparation, the pupils usually take a public school-leaving examination in their three specialist subjects. Their results in these exams will largely determine whether they now start to work, or whether they can continue with higher education at a university or college. Answers (T, F or NI) ________ 1. School education in Britain is free of charge. ________ 2. School education is compulsory in Britain. ________ 3. School education in Britain is mainly free of charge. ________ 4. Most children in Britain attend private schools. ________ 5. Most children in Britain attend state schools. ________ 6. Comprehensive secondary schools are for pupils of different abilities. ________ 7. Pupils of the same abilities must attend comprehensive secondary schools. ________ 8. After four or five years at secondary schools, all pupils take one or two public examinations. ________ 9. In Britain state schools are better than those of the private sector. ________ 10. At the age of 16 or so, about 70 per cent pupils at state schools leave. [B]Question 8: Read the following passage then answer the questions below (8 points).[/B] A healthful lifestyle leads to a longer, happier, healthier life. Staying healthy means eating well-balanced diet, getting regular exercise, avoiding things that are bad for the body and mind. Nutrition plays a key role in maintaining good health and preventing many diseases. In spite of all the information available about diets, scientists still believe that good nutrition can be simple.

Avoid too much sugar. Limit salt. Eat lots of fruits and vegetables. which are high in vitamins. A healthy lifestyle is an active lifestyle. Lack of proper physical exercise can cause tiredness, irritability, and poor general health. Physical fitness requires both aerobic exercise, such as running, bicycle riding , and swimming, and muscle- strengthening exercise, such as weight-- lifting.
