Read the passage and choose the best answer from 55 to 64.
 Of the six outer planets, Mars, commonly called the red planet, is the closest to Earth. Mars, 4,200 miles in diameter and 55 percent of the size of Earth, is 34,600,000 miles from Earth, and 141,000,000 miles from the Sun. It takes this planet, along with its two moons, Phobos and Deimos, 1.88 years to circle the Sun, compared to 365 days for the Earth.
 For many years, Mars had been thought of as the planet with the man-made canals, supposedly discovered by an Italian astronomer, Schiaparelli, in 1877. With the United States spacecraft Viking I's landing on Mars in 1976, the man-made canal theory was proven to be only a myth. Viking I, after landing on the soil of Mars, performed many scientific experiments and took numerous pictures. The pictures showed that the red colour of the planet is due to the reddish, rocky Martian soil. No biological life was found, though it had been speculated by many scientists. The Viking also monitored many weather changes including violent dust storms. Some water vapour, polar ice, and permafrost (frost below the surface) were found, indicating that at one time there were significant quantities of water on this distant planet. Evidence collected by the spacecraft shows some present volcanic action, though the volcanoes are believed to be dormant, if not extinct.
Question 55: All of the following are true EXCEPT.......
A. Mars is larger than Earth B. It takes longer for Mars to circle the Sun than it takes Earth
C. Mars has two moons	D. Martian soil is rocky
Question 56: Man-made canals were supposedly discovered by.......
A. Schiaparelli 	B. Phobos 	C. Viking I	D. Martian
Question 57: The word "supposedly" in the passage is closest meaning to..
A. actually 	B. unquestionably 	C. formerly	D. presumably
Question 58: Mars has been nicknamed........
A. Martian 	B. Viking I 	C. Deimos	D. the red planet
Question 59: The Viking I exploration accomplished all of the following EXCEPT.....
A. discovering large quantities of polar ice and permafrost
B. monitoring weather conditions
C. collecting information showing volcanic action
D. performing scientific experiments
Question 60: The word "myth" in the passage is closest meaning to......
A. fact 	B. event 	C. enigma 	D. legend
Question 61: It can be inferred from the passage that the radius of Mars is........
A. 141,000,000 miles 	B. 34,600,000 miles 	C. 4,200 miles 	D. 2,100 miles
Question 62: What is the main idea of this passage?
A. Scientists are no longer interested in the planet because there is no life on it.
B. Fairly recent studies of this planet reveal data that contradict previously held theories,
C. Very little of the Martian landscape has changed over the years.
D. Scientists are only speculating about the red planet.
Question 63: The word "monitored" is nearest in meaning to........ 
A. censored 	B. programmed	C. televised 	D. observed
Question 64: Schiaparelli came from ........... .
A. Mars 	B. Italian 	C. Italy 	D. Martian

SAMPLE PARAGRAPH 
 Money can be an important factor to constitute the success of each individual, but I disagree with the idea that money is the key factor of success. It is undeniable that material possession has a huge impact on people’s daily lives. Without money, we cannot do whatever you want, even the simple things such as buying clothes, paying for food to meet our daily needs. In addition, there is a close relationship between money and other things. For example, we can have more opportunities to study or work better if we are rich. Therefore, some people might see money as an essential tool to measure each person’s success. However, in many cases, I think money cannot bring about success as well as other things like happiness. Although you own numerous valuable things that many people always dream of, you are not still successful because of your unhappiness in your family. For instance, you cannot succeed in bringing your children up, which makes you upset or unhappy in your own home. Thus, a sense of achievement can be got from raising the children or a family. In conclusion, I think money is not the most important factor which leads to a sense of satisfaction in my life.
