In the United States, presidential elections are held in years evenly divisible by four (1888, 1900, 1964, etc.). Since 1840, American presidents elected in years ending with zero have died in office, with one exception. William H. Harrison, the man who served the shortest term, died of pneumonia only several weeks after his inauguration. 
Abraham Lincoln was one of four presidents who were assassinated. He was elected in 1860, and his untimely death came just five years later. James A. Garfield, a former Union army general from Ohio, was shot during his first year in office (1881) by a man to whom he wouldn't give a job. While in his second term of office (1901), William McKinley, another Ohioan, attended the Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo, New York. During the reception, he was assassinated while shaking hands with some of the guests. John F. Kennedy was assassinated in 1963 in Dallas only three years after his election. 
Three years after his election in 1920, Warren G, Harding died in office. Although it was never proved, many believe he was poisoned. Franklin D. Roosevelt was elected four times (1932, 1936, 1940 and 1944), the only man to serve so long a term. He had contracted polio in 1921 and eventually died of the illness in 1945. 
Ronald Reagan, who was elected in 1980 and reelected four years later, suffered an assassination attempt but did not succumb to the assassin's bullets. He was the first to break the long chain of unfortunate events. Will the candidate in the election of 2020 also be as lucky?

Read the following passage, and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 55 to 64.
 For more than six million American children, coming home after school means coming back to an empty house. Some deal with the situation by watching TV. Some may hide. But all of them have something in commom. They spend part of each day alone. They are called “latchkey children”. They are children who look after themselves while their parents work. And their bad condition has become a subject of concern.
Lynette Long was once the principle of an elementary school. She said, “We had a school rule against wearing jewelry. A lot of kids had chains around their necks with keys attached. I was constantly telling them to put the keys inside the shirts. There were so many keys; it never came to my mind what they meant.” Slowly, she learned that they were house keys.
She and her husband began talking to the children who had keys. They learned of the effect working couples and single parents were having on their children. Fear was the biggest problem faced by children at home alone. One in three latchkey children the Longs talked to reported being frightened. Many had nightmares and were worried about their own safety.
The most common was latchkey children deal with their fears is by hidding. They may hide in a shower stall, under a bed or in a closet. The second is TV. They often turn the volume up.

Key:
 Every family has its own rules. Mine has a few. First, each family member has to respect one another. Therefore, we never have a row or argument. When we feel dissatisfied about something, we try to keep calm, discuss them frankly and find solutions quickly. Second, everybody has to do share of household chores. For example, my mother is responsible for cooking, whereas, I am in charge of washing the dishes. Thirdly, as I and my brother are still pupils, we are not allowed to stay up very late. At night, we have to go to bed by 10:30 p.m so that we will be able to get up early the next morning to go to school. In addition, our parents do not let us watch TV more than three hours a day. They say that we need to concentrate on doing our homework. Generally, these rules help us maintain a nice happy family.
