Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B,CorD on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 30 to 34.
	It is often said that the best way to see a country is to use the method of transport which is traditional in that particular place. So people should see Argentina on horseback. Nepal on foot and the US by car. If this is true, then a bicycle is the perfect way to visit Sri Lanka. Although the 18-speed mountain bike I used is not an every sight, move traditional models are popular all over the country.
Sharing the same kind of transport as local people changes the way you see the place. You are travelling at a speed that somehow fits the scenery - not so slow that you only see a small area each day, and not so fast that the details of the countryside are missed. Better still, you can stop whenever you want to listen to the birds or a waterfall, talk to people, smell their cooking or take a photo. However, this doesn't mean cycling in Sri Lanka is relaxing. If you want to see the whole country, you have to leave the towns and villages and cycle through jungle, where the temperature is 37 degrees, cross streams, climb hills and go over paths which are made of mud, rock or sand.
The most pleasant paths in the jungle follow the irrigation canals. These carry water into the bright green rice fields which appear at regular intervals among the trees. During the afternoon, groups children, farm workers and water buffalo all come to swim in the canals. Then, when you climb from the jungle up into the hilly area in the center of the country, you see every hillside is covered with neat rows of tea bushes in another brilliant shade of green. In fact, the whole country is covered in more different and beautiful shades of green than I ever thought possible.
Now I’m wondering where to ride my bike next - perhaps alongside the canals of The Netherlands, or through the city streets of China...

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, Cor D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 35 to 42.
	An authoritative research company, McCoy, found that when couples are in the midst of getting divorced, women are more likely than men to keep joint possessions.
Men on average wanted their ex-wife to keeps 19 items out of a list of 24 including the home, photographs and pets, while women wanted the men to get just eight. While women did not particularly want items including the television, CDs, DVDs, and toaster, they were keen to see that their ex-husband did not get them.
McCoy polled 3,515 people in May and June. The poll found that men were keen for their ex-wife to keep items including the bed, the television, the wedding album, the lawnmower and garden accessories, house plants, the coffee machine and the family pet. One item that men were determined to keep for themselves was the house - 32% wanted to keep it outright, compared with 30% who were happy to wholly hand it over to their ex-wife. The men also wanted the car, the laptop computer, digital camera and CD and DVD collections.
Half of the women wanted the family home outright, but even more, 64%, wanted the dog or cat. They were happy for their former husband to keep the bed, sofa, lawnmower, coffee machine, laptop, digital camera, PlayStation and any wine and drinks they had. Ultimately 46% of the women did keep the house, compared with 29% of the men, with other couples selling.
Denise Knowles, a counselor, said: "These findings reflect the hugely different emotional attachment that divorcing men and women feel towards their shared possessions." Men are far keener than women to put their past behind them and want to move on, which is why they are happy to let their ex-wife keep almost of their shared possessions - apart from those items that provide entertainment such as the car, digital camera and music system. "Women, by contrast. Have a far greater emotional attachment to their home and its contents, seeing these things as the fabrics of their lives and things that should be preserved both for themselves and their children as symbols of their history and life."
