The Princess and the Pea

Once upon a time there was a Prince; he wanted to get himself a Princess, but she had to be a real Princess. So he travelled all over the world to find one, but in every case something was the matter. There were lots of Princesses, but he could never quite make out whether they were real or not. So he came back home feeling very unhappy.

One evening a terrible storm came. Lightning flashed, thunder rolled, and the rain poured down in torrents. It was simply awful! Suddenly there was a knock at the city gate, and the old King went out to answer it.

There was a Princess standing outside, but what a sight' the rain and the bad weather had made of her! The water streamed down her hair and her clothes, and yet she said she was a real Princess.

"It won't take a long to find that out," thought the old Queen. Without saying anything, she went into the bed chamber, took off all the bedclothes, and placed one pea on the bottom boards of the bed. Then she took twenty mattresses and put them on top of the pea, and after that she put twenty feather-pillow on top of the mattresses.

That was where the Princess was to spend the night.

In the morning they asked her how she had slept. "Oh, dreadfully!" said the Princess. "I hardly slept a wink all night. Whatever could have been in the bed? I was lying on something so hard that I'm black and blue all over."

So of course they could see that she was a real Princess, since she had felt the pea through the twenty mattresses and the twenty feather-pillows. No one but a real Princess could have such tender skin as that.

Facsimile, often called fax, is a way of transmitting texts and pictures over telephone lines. News services often use facsimile to send news, stories, and photographs to news­paper and television stations. Banks, law firms, and other businesses use facsimile to send copies of documents to clients and other organizations.

A device called a facsimile machine is used for trans­mitting and receiving images. Facsimile machines resemble small photocopiers. However, they are equipped with a telephone or are connected to one. To send a document, the user inserts it into the machine and dials the telephone number of the receiving fax machine. After the connection is made, an electronic scanner on the transmitting machine moves across the page and converts the image into a set of electric signals. These signals travel over the telephone line to the receiving fax machine. That machine converts the electric signals back into an image of the original document and then prints a copy.

Some business people use small desktop fax machines or portable models at home or when they travel. A personal computer can also be used to send and receive documents if it is equipped with a special electronic circuit board called a fax board.

1. A facsimile machine is a small photocopier.

Text 8.

This text is for questions 40 to 43.

All planes need air pressure under their wings to stay up in the air. As they move forward, the higher air pressure under­neath their wings pushes them upward and gives them lift.

The smooth, streamlined shape of the plane allows the air to flow easily over its surface. This helps to reduce the drag caused by the air pushing against the plane and allows it to move rapidly through the air.

Planes move forward using engines. This movement is called thrust. Moving forward keeps a stream of moving air passing over the wings. If the engines fail, the plane will begin to descend very quickly.

The air above the wing moves faster, so it is at a lower pressure than the air under the wing.

The air under the wing moves more slowly and is slightly squashed, so it is at a higher pressure than the air above the wing.

41. What does the text describe?

1. How the wings of a plane work.
2. How the plane moves forward.
3. How the plane is made.
4. The engine of a plane.
5. How a plane flies.

1. a stream of moving air passes over their wings
2. there is air pressure under their wings

5. the engines fail 

43. "This helps to reduce the drag caused by the air pushing against the plane and allows it to move rapidly through the air." (Paragraph 2)

The underlined word can be replaced by …………………....

1. slowly               D. gradually
2. quickly             E. immediately
3. smoothly

44. What is the use of air pressure under the plane's wings?

1. To go down.
2. To keep moving.

4. To stay up in the air.

This text is for questions 44 to 47.

"Should we have printed advertisements?" There are many reasons for people to answer this question. Many people have strong views and feel that ads are nothing more than useless junk mail, while other people feel it is an important source of information.

Here are some reasons why we should have advertisements in newspapers and magazines. One reason is ads give us information about what is available. Looking at ads we can find out what is on sale and what is new in the market. This is an easy way of shopping. Another reason is that advertise­ments promote business. When shopkeepers compete against each other, they try to sell their goods as cheap as possible or attract buyers by offering discount. In this case, buyers get the beneficial effects of this competition. They save their money.

On the other hand, some people argue that ads should not be put in newspapers and magazines. Firstly, ads cost the shopkeepers a lot of money to print into paper. Besides, some people don't like finding junk mail in their letter boxes. People may also find that ads are not very interesting. Ads also influence people to buy items they don't need and can't really afford. Ads use up a lot of space and a lot of effort has to be made to make the ads eye-catching.

45. The text mainly discusses ....

1. reasons for printed advertisement
2. strong views on printed advertisement
3. advertisement considered as junk mail
4. advertisement as an important source of information

2. It can give information what is on sale.
3. It can influence people to buy things.

5. It is an interesting issue.

47. Which of the following is a reason why ads are important to consumers?

1. Ads are only junk mail.
2. Ads cost a lot of money.
3. Ads make things more expensive.
4. Ads make people buy things they don't need.
5. Ads help consumers to know what things are on sale.
