all the money. Sometimes the audience is small but often
there are big crowds, and theres a lot of money at the end
of the show.
George is an acrobat. He learnt his skills at circus school andthen joined a circus and went on tour round Britain. Now he
performs at Covent Garden. You have to work hard to get
an audience. He says You tell jokes, sing, dance-then when
you have a good crowd you can start the show.

Last month two brothers, sixteen year old Tom and
eighteen year old Harry were on their own at home one
Saturday afternoon. Their parents were on a weekend trip
with some friends in the brothers dads car. Tom was bored
and wanted to have an adventure. He wanted Harry to drive
their mums car to the city. Harry wasnt happy about it, but
he was bored too, so in the end, he agreed.
The boys arrived in the city centre and decided to go to the
cinema first. Harry parked the car outside the cinema. They
watched a great film. Then they were hungry. Harry was
happier now, so he stopped at a caf, and they ordered abig pizza. After that, Harry wanted to go home, but Tom
wanted to go to a night club. Harry wasnt sure, but again
he agreed in the end. He parked the car carefully outside
the biggest nightclub in town.Tom and harry stayed in the night club for a long time. It
was very late when they walked back to the car. Then they
noticed something terrible. There was a big dent in the back
of the car. They hurried home, and waited until 6 am. Then
they phoned a garage and explained the situation. A
mechanic repaired the car and the boys parked it outside
the house just in time. A few minutes later their parentsreturned home.
The boys were too scared to say anything about the
accident. But later that day, their mother checked the car.Hey, look at that car she shouted. The boys waited
nervously. Their mother continued. I cant believe it. A van
bumped into my car last Thursday, but now you cant even
see the dent.

ANSWER
A hurricane is a big tropical storm in Atlantic
Ocean. (there are tropical storms in the Pacific and Indian
Oceans, too but here theyre called typhoons or cyclones).
Hurricanes start over the ocean, and they happen in latesummer when the water is warm
When a hurricane is photographed by a
satellite, it looks like a giant doughnut. The centre of
hurricane is called the eye. There is no wind here. The
strong winds are pulled round the eye by rotation of the
earth.A hurricane is formed over the ocean, but then
its blown towards the islands of the Caribbean and the
coasts of Central and North America. The winds can reach
over 220 km/hr, so hurricanes can be very dangerous.
Buildings are damaged. Trees, bridges and power lines are
blown down. Every year hundreds of people are killed by
hurricanes.
Most damage is done on islands and along the
coast. A lot of damage is caused by the sea because huge
waves are created by the strong winds. The waves areblown onto the land, and cities, villages and fields are
flooded. However, hurricanes and typhoons also do some
good things. Over half the rain in Japan is brought by
typhoons.
Hurricanes are caused by heat. Scientists
believe that if global warming increase, we will see many
more hurricanes each year.
32. What is the text about?
a. typhoons
b.cyclonesc. hurricanes
d. typhoons and hurricanes
ANSWER C ; every paragraph talks about hurricanes.
Typhoon & cyclones are other names for hurricane in other
parts of the world but they only show up in the first
paragraph
33. The second paragraph is about
a. how to hurricane looks like
b. when the hurricane happensc. hurricane happens when the water is warm
d. mostly hurricanes give positive effect for people
ANSWERA; how (without to) it looks like. In the 2nd
paragraph it was mentioned that i t looks like a doughnut in
the first sentence
34. Based on the text we can say that
a. hurricanes happen in a certain area
b. hurricane is the same as typhoons
c. hurricane happens when the water is warm
d. mostly hurricanes give positive effect for peopleANSWER B (from the text a hurricane is formed over the
ocean, but then its. America.), A (There are tropical
storms called typhoons or cyclones) are correct & C ( they
happen in summer warm) are correct. The only one thats
wrong is D
Most probably the question should have been based on the
text we caNT say that)
