Question 1
Read the passage carefully and choose the best answer to each question out of the four alternatives.
Goodbye seems a concluding remark we have to speak when we leave someone behind. It sounds so final. And yet it is a heart-breaking reality we have to face somehow, someday no matter how dreadful it may be. Letting go of those we deeply love and care about, for whatever reason often leaves us helplessly shattered. But on the other hand, clinging pointlessly to what has been..... memories or relationships... usually isn't very good for us in the end. But learning to have the courage to let go is a sign of growth. It is an indication that we are mature enough to know what we can do without and that we are ready to make for what we really need in the next phase of our life. Goodbye is a sad thing, but is very real. We have to face the fact that we all have to say goodbye sometime in our lives and there's no easy way of saying it. That is why people often take off when they least expect it. They just walk away because they can't figure a way of saying goodbye. Some people think that it's holding on that makes us strong; sometimes it's letting go. Yes, there's no doubt about it. Parting gives us a lot of sorrow, especially if it is forever. But then goodbye is really just another way of saying “Hello. Let’s move on and on”. Goodbye may mean a lot more hellos. So we have to let go and we should know when to finally end a chapter in our life to be able to give way to a new one.

Question 6
Read the passage carefully and choose the best answer to each question out of the four alternatives.
In May 1966, the World Health Organization was authorized to initiate a global campaign to eradicate small pox. The goal was to eradicate the disease in one decade. Because similar projects for malaria and yellow fever had failed, few believed that smallpox could actually be eradicated, but eleven years after the initial organisation of the campaign, no cases were reported in the field.
The strategy was not only to provide mass vaccinations, but also to isolate patients with active small-pox in order to contain the spread of the disease and to break the chain of human transmission. Rewards for reporting small-pox assisted in motivating the public to aid health workers. One by one, each small-pox victim was sought out, removed from contact with others and treated. At the same time, the entire, village where the victim had lived was vaccinated.
Today small-pox is no longer a threat to humanity. Routine vaccinations have been stopped worldwide.
