Stress is often called the 21st century illness, but it has always 
1
been with us perhaps with different names. Those days we often
2
consider stress is a necessary evil of modern life. However, stress is
3
not negative and without it we will certainly not enjoy some of the
4
highpoints in life just as the anticipation before a date or the
5
tension leading up to an important match. All these situations
6
produce stress, but if you can control it and not the other 
7
way round you will feel stimulated, not worn out. Like these
8
situations, which are generally positive but easier to deal with, 
9
sitting in a train that is late, being stuck in a traffic jam, working
10
to a tight deadline is much harder to manage and control. Stress
11
is now recognized as a medical problem and as a significant
12
factor in causing coronary heart disease, high blooded pressure
13
and high cholesterol count. The fact is that patients are often willing to
14
admit to stress problems because they feel they are a form of
15
society failure and it is important that symptoms should be identified in 
16
order to avoid unnecessary sufferings. So why should we be 
17
looking out for as danger signals? Some common signs of stress are
18
increased tiredness, irritability and the inability to solve certain situations.

MY BEST TEACHER

Brian Earle, my English teacher was a very intense man with thick glasses, and the fact that he taught a lot of his classes standing on his head was also seen as extremely peculiar. He taught me for just one year and it was probably one of the most creative years of my life. He didn’t believe in giving marks for grammar or punctuation; he implied that the mechanics of writing were not important if you had something to say. When I wrote a short story for him called ‘Army’, he simply wrote across the bottom: 'You’ve just got to keep on writing.’ Those few words of support had a fantastic effect on me in terms of wanting to write and be involved in writing. Brian Earle had a love for teaching and his subject.

My mother was an editor of Pakistan’s largest newspaper and she knew and liked its librarian, Atif Burkhi. Atif was well-educated and when I was about 12, my mother decided I should learn more about the region’s history and she chose Atif as my tutor. It turned out to be an inspiring move. He would come to our house once a week to teach me, from the end of school until supper. He took me through a lot of history, but after a few lessons I got bored. ‘I know you’re being paid by my parents to teach me this stuff,’ I said, ‘but there are other things in the world.’ He burst out laughing as he so often did and asked: ‘What do you want to talk about then?’ And so we would discuss global issues and world literature.

Everyone loved Miss Young. She taught me between the ages of 13 and 17 and was instrumental in my becoming an actress. She knew I was interested in acting, but it just wasn’t an option in my world. My father was a driving examiner and I wasn’t exposed to acting as a career. It was Miss Young who told me about the National Youth Theatre, which was an organization I was unaware of. She suggested I look into it and think about going there. About ten years after I left school, when I was with the Royal Shakespeare Company and playing fairly high-profile parts, I got a letter from Miss Young saying she was following my career with interest, but as far as I know, she never came to see me perform. She certainly never came to see me backstage.

Tae Kwon Do is a martial art which has become popular as a sporting activity in recent years. I started learning it in the Ivory Coast in Africa when I was about 13, and later became the country’s first black belt. My teacher, Park Min Ho, had been sent by the Tae Kwon Do federation in Korea to open a club. It was very successful. When he arrived he didn’t know a word of French, so he used to demonstrate rather than explain. At the time my brother and I started learning Tae Kwon Do, we were fighting like mad. But we quickly understood we had to stop fighting because we realized that fighting was about self-defense, not aggression. Tae Kwon Do teaches you to control your anger and control your body. It is very good for your memory, co-ordination and self-discipline. And you are acquiring a philosophy. Later on, Park opened a restaurant and then moved back to Korea. We had a very friendly relationship, but somehow I feel like I was a disappointment to him. He thought I had a future in the sport. But when I was 17, I decided it was not what I wanted to do.
Part 3 (10 points). Read the following passage and choose the best answer to each question.
	Madison Square Garden, a world-famous sporting venue in New York City, has actually been a series of buildings in varied locations rather than a single building in one spot. In 1873, P.T. Barnum built Barnum’s Monster Classical and Geological Hippodrome at the corner of Madison Avenue and 26th Street, across from Madison Square Park. Two years later, the bandleader Patrick Gilmore bought the property, added statues and fountains, and renamed it Gilmore’s Gardens. When Cornelius Vanderbilt bought the property in 1879, it was renamed Madison Square Garden.
	A second very lavish Madison Square Garden was built at the same location in 1890, with a ballroom, a restaurant, a theater, a rooftop garden, and a main arena with seating for 15,000. However, this elaborate Madison Square Garden lasted until 1924 when it was torn down to make way for a forty-storey skyscraper.
	When the second Madison Square Garden had been replaced in its location across from Madison Square Park, the boxing promoter Tex Rickard raised six million dollars to build a new Madison Square Garden. This new Madison Square Garden was constructed in a different location, on 8th Avenue and 50th Street and quite some distance from Madison Square Park and Madison Avenue. Rickard’s Madison Square Garden served primarily as an arena for boxing prize fights and circus events until it outgrew its usefulness by the late 1950s.
	A new location was found for a fourth for Madison Square Garden, a top Pennsylvania Railroad Station, and plans were announced for its construction in 1960. This current edifice, which includes a huge sports arena, a bowling center, a 5,000-seat amphitheater, and a twenty-nine-storey office building, does retain the traditional name Madison Square Garden. However, the name is actually quite a misnomer. The building is not located near Madison Square, nor does it have the flowery gardens that contributed to the original name. 
1. The main point of this passage is that Madison Square Garden ________.
	A. has had a varied history in various locations	B. was P.T. Barnum’s major accomplishment
	C. is home to many different sporting events	D. was named after and adjacent park
2. Which paragraph discusses the third location of Madison Square Garden?
	A. The third paragraph.	B. The second paragraph.	
	C. The first paragraph.	D. The last paragraph.
3. According to the passage, Patrick Gilmore did all of the following EXCEPT that he ________.
	A. purchased the property at the corner of Madison Avenue and 26th Street
	B. made improvements to the property that he bought
	C. named the property that he bought Madison Square Garden
	D. sold the property to Cornelius Vanderbilt
4. The word “lavish” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ________.
	A. simple	B. modern	C. elaborate	D. outlandish
5. How long did the second Madison Square garden last?
	A. 11 years	B. 34 years	C. 45 years	D. 60 years
6. Which of the following would most likely have taken place at Rickard’s Madison Square Garden?
	A. A balloon dance	 B. A theater production	C. A basketball game	D. a tiger show
7. An “edifice” in paragraph 3 is most likely________.
A. an address	B. an association	C. a competition	D. a building
8. Monster Classical and Geological Hippodrome was renamed Gilmore’s Gardens in ________.
	A. 1890	B. 1879	C. 1875	D. 1874
9. What can be inferred about the current Madison Square Garden?
	A. It is on Madison Avenue.	B. It is across from Madison Square Park.
 	C. It has incredible gardens.	D. It is above a transportation center.
10. Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE according to the passage?
	A. Madison Square Garden has been rebuilt for the fourth time.
	B. Lots of flowers have been planted inside Madison Square Garden.
	C. The Madison Square Garden building is far from Madison Square.

HOT TIPS FOR STAYING COOL AT EXAM TIME
0. _____G_____
It’s always good to know what you’re aiming for so that you know if and when you get there. By having an aim for each week, or even each day, it will help you check your progress and show you if you need to change your plans.
1. ___________
Rather than have to work through masses of notes every time you revise something, try noting down things you want to remember on a piece of paper. It doesn’t seem much to learn that way, but it makes sure you don’t miss out anything important. Once you’ve learnt the main points, rewrite them on another piece of paper without looking at your notes.
2. ___________
There is nothing worse than being confused about what you need to prepare for your coming exam. If you have a plan and stick to it, you won’t end up cramming all your revision into the last few hours! Make a list of your exams and what you need to learn beforehand, and then drew up a timetable covering all the topics. You can then work out what you need to do on a weekly basis and when you are going to do it.
3. ___________
By now you’ll probably have discovered the method of revision which suits you best. But every now and then it might be helpful to try a different method. You could try working with a group of friends, or using a different book which covers things from a new angle. Whatever it is, just try something different occasionally.
4. ___________
Some things are almost impossible to remember, so you may need to do something unusual to help you remember. Try writing them down in large letters and bright colors and sticking them on the fridge, on a mirror or on the bathroom door. Try recording them onto a cassette player and keep playing it back to yourself - on a personal stereo if you have got one!
5. ___________
Not too many people like exams and most of us get nervous before and during exams. But if you’ve followed your plan and put the effort into revising, then there is no need to worry or panic. Hopefully these tips will have helped you. Give it your best shot - that’s all that anyone can expect from you.
