Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
Since the early days of making movies, writers and directors have attempted to bring popular and classic novels to the big screen. That tradition continues today. The movie industry seems to believe that if the story made a great book, it should make a great movie as well. However, that rarely seems to be the case. More often than not, a great book turns out to be a mediocre movie in the opinion of most viewers. Perhaps that is because readers of the book have already made their own great "movies" in their heads. Then, when they see the studio's or the director's version of the story, it does not quite measure up to their expectations. 
 Over the past one hundred years of film production, there have only been a handful of movies that have fulfilled the ambition of turning the great book into a great movie. Literary critics as well as movie critics applaud both versions of One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest. The classic children's story, The Wizard of Oz, was transformed into a classic movie musical that parents and children still enjoy today. Lovers of the historical novel, Gone with the Wind, continue to be swept away by the movie adaptation starring .Clark Gable and Vivien Leigh. Science fiction readers as well as movie critics both hail Stanley Kubrick's film, 2001: A Space Odyssey, which was co-written by Kubrick with the novel's author Arthur C. Clarke, as a masterpiece. 
 	On the other hand, there have been instances when not-so-great novels have been transformed into great movies. Mario Puzo's The Godfather was quite popular at the time of its release as a novel, but critics hailed it more for its entertainment value thanfor its value as literature. The film adaptation of this popular novel, however, continues to be listed among the top ten greatest movies of all time. Likewise, the science fiction short story "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" did not set the science fiction genre on fire when it came out. The movie version, though, made a much bigger impact in its medium. Today, Blade Runner continues to top critics' lists of great films. 
 	Are there any books that are simply impossible to film? Although film makers would like to think not, it is a good bet that certain books will never be adapted into successful films. Books written in unique literary styles such as Ulysses by James joyce and The Sound and the Fury by William Faulkner have resisted film adaptation to rival the greatness of the books. Film makers will no doubt keep trying, of course. Readers and viewers will have to be the final judges of whether it is better to read the book or see the movie. 
Question 36. What is the main focus of this reading? 
A. Books that make more money than movies 	B. Books written about movies 
C. Movie made from books 	D. Movie stars who have written books 
Question 37. Which of the following is considered both a great book and a great movie? 
	A. Gone with the Wind B. The Godfather 	C. Transformers 	D. Ulysses 
Question 38. What is NOT true about "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" 
A. It made a very good movie. 	B. It is not a novel. 
C. It was adapted into a movie. D. It was not widely hailed by literary critics. 
Question 39. Which of the following statements would the writer of this reading probably agree with? 
A. Almost any book can easily be adapted into a good movie. 
B. Faulkner knows a lot about both books and movies. 
C. The movie Ulysses is better than Joyce's novel. 
D. The Sound and the Fury will never be made into a great movie.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
Pandemic
Diseases are a natural part of life on Earth. If there were no diseases, the population would grow too quickly, and there would not be enough food or other resources. So in a way, diseases are nature's way of keeping the Earth in balance. But sometimes they spread very quickly and kill large numbers of people. For example, in 1918, an outbreak of the flu spread across the world, killing over 25 million people in only six months. Such terrible outbreaks of a disease are called pandemics.
Pandemics happen when a disease changes in a way that our bodies are not prepared to fight. In 1918, a new type of flu virus appeared. Our bodies had no way to fight this new flu virus, and so it spread very quickly and killed large numbers of people. While there have been many different pandemic diseases throughout history, all of them have a few things in common.
First, all pandemic diseases spread from one person to another very easily. Second, while they may kill many people, they generally do not kill people very quickly. A good example of this would be the Marburg virus. The Marburg virus is an extremely infectious disease. In addition, it is deadly. About 70-80% of all the people who get the Marburg virus die from the disease. However, the Marburg virus has not become a pandemic because most people die within three days of getting the disease. This means that the virus does not have enough time to spread to a large number of people. The flu virus of 1918, on the other hand, generally took about a week to ten days to kill its victims, so it had more time to spread.
 	While we may never be able to completely stop pandemics, we can make them less common. Doctors carefully monitor new diseases that they fear could become pandemics. For example, in 2002 and 2003, doctors carefully watched SARS. Their health warnings may have prevented SARS from becoming a pandemic.
