Question 1 of 25
1. Question
Extract A: The Hare and The Hedgehog by The Grimm Brothers
It was on a Sunday morning at harvest time, just when the buckwheat was in bloom. The sun was shining bright in heaven, the larks were singing in the air, the bees were buzzing in the buckwheat, and all the creatures were happy, including the hedgehog.
The hedgehog was standing before his door with his arms crossed, humming a little song to himself. Singing there to himself, half silently, it suddenly occurred to him that while his wife was washing and drying the children, he could take a little walk into the field and see how his turnips were doing. The turnips were close to his house, and he and his family were accustomed to eating them, so he considered them his own. No sooner said than done. The hedgehog closed the house door behind him and started down the path to the field. He hadn’t gone very far away from his house at all, only as far as the blackthorn bush which stands at the front of the field, near the turnip patch, when he met up with the hare, who had gone out for a similar purpose, namely to examine his cabbage.
When the hedgehog saw the hare, he wished him a friendly good morning. The hare, however, who was in his own way, a distinguished gentleman, and terribly arrogant about it, did not answer the hedgehog’s greeting. He, instead said in a terribly sarcastic manner, “How is it that you are running around in the field so early in the morning?” “I’m taking a walk,” replied the hedgehog. “Taking a walk? I should think that you could better use your legs for other purposes,” laughed the hare. This answer made the hedgehog terribly angry, for he could stand anything except remarks about his legs, for by nature they were crooked. “Can you imagine what you can accomplish more with your legs?” said the hedgehog to the hare. “I should think so,” said the hare. “That would depend on the situation,” said the hedgehog. “I bet, if we were to run a race, I’d pass you up,” he added. “That is a laugh! You with your crooked legs! But for all I care, let it be if you are so eager. What will we wager?” asked the hare. “A gold louis d’or and a bottle of brandy,” said the hedgehog. “Accepted. Shake hands, and we can take right off,” said the hare. “No, I’m not in a hurry,” said the hedgehog. “I’m very hungry. First I want to go home and eat a little breakfast. I’ll be back here at this spot in a half hour.” The hare agreed and the hedgehog left.
On his way home the hedgehog thought to himself, “The hare is relying on his long legs, but I’ll still beat him. He may well be a distinguished gentleman, but he’s arrogant and still a fool, and he’ll be the one to pay.” Arriving home, he said to his wife, “Wife, get dressed quickly. You’ve got to go out to the field with me.” “What’s the matter?” said his wife. “I bet a gold louis d’or and a bottle of brandy with the hare that I could beat him in a race, and you should be there too.” “My God, man,” the hedgehog’s wife began to cry, “are you mad? Have you entirely lost your mind? How can you agree to run a race with the hare?” “This is my affair. Don’t get mixed up in men’s business. Hurry up now, get dressed, and come with me.” said the hedgehog. The hedgehog’s wife decided to support her husband.
As they walked toward the field together, the hedgehog said to his wife, “Now pay attention to what I tell you. You see, we are going to run the race down the long field. The hare will run in one furrow and I in another one. We’ll begin running from up there. All you have to do is to stand here in the furrow, and when the hare approaches from the other side, just call out to him, ‘I’m already here.’” instructed the hedgehog. With that, they arrived at the field, the hedgehog showed his wife her place, and then he went to the top of the field. When he arrived, the hare was already there. “Can we start?” said the hare. “Yes, indeed,” said the hedgehog. “On your mark!” And each one took his place in his furrow. The hare counted “One, two, three,” and he tore down the field like a windstorm. But the hedgehog ran only about three steps and then ducked down in the furrow and remained there sitting quietly. When the hare, in full run, arrived at the bottom of the field, the hedgehog’s wife called out to him, “I’m already here!” The hare, startled and bewildered, thought it was the hedgehog himself, for as everyone knows, a hedgehog’s wife looks just like her husband. The hare thought, “Something’s not right here.” He called out, “Let’s run back again!” “It’s all right with me,” answered the hedgehog. “For all I care, as often as you want.”
So the hare ran seventy-three more times, and the hedgehog always kept up with him. But the hare did not complete the seventy-fourth time because, during this moment, the arrogant hare fell on the ground and fainted. The hedgehog took the gold louis d’or and the bottle of brandy he had won, called his wife, and happily. Since that day, no hare has agreed to enter a race with a hedgehog.
Extract B: The Tortoise and the Hare
A long, long time ago, there lived a hare in the forest who always boasted of his running speed. He would often tease the tortoise for being the slowest animal around. One fine day, he dared the tortoise to a race in order to exhibit his skills in front of other animals in the forest. Fed up with the hare’s bragging, the tortoise finally accepted the challenge and decided to compete with him in a race.On the day of the race, all the animals of the forest gathered to watch the competition between the hare and the tortoise. Just as they were about to begin the race, the hare mocked the tortoise for accepting the challenge.
Further, he also mentioned that soon after he wins the race, the tortoise would be ridiculed by other animals for accepting the dare. The tortoise kept silent and didn’t pay heed to the hare’s words.
The race began at the count of one, two and three! The hare immediately started running and the tortoise started at its usual slow pace. Soon the hare reached a long way ahead almost a few yards from the finish line. He looked back to check if the tortoise was anywhere nearby. However, the tortoise was left far behind and almost could not be seen.
The hare decided to pause and take some rest on the way before he completed the race. He looked around and to his left, he noticed a field of cabbages and carrots. He decided to snack on cabbage and take a short nap so that he would quickly run past the finish line in a fresh mood.
Soon the hare fell into a deep sleep and dreamt of winning the competition. Time passed and the sun was already setting when he suddenly woke up. He quickly jumped to check if the tortoise was around. To his dismay, the tortoise was just a few steps away from the finish line.
Seeing the tortoise close to the finish line, the hare rushed towards it as fast as he could. However, it was too late and the tortoise finally crossed the finish line, thereby winning the competition.
When the hare reached the point where the race ended, all the animals were laughing at him for losing the race to the tortoise. That day, he learnt a lesson that bragging about something doesn’t win you accolades, hence you should never mock others for their own pace.

Extract A: The Hare and The Hedgehog by The Grimm Brothers
It was on a Sunday morning at harvest time, just when the buckwheat was in bloom. The sun was shining bright in heaven, the larks were singing in the air, the bees were buzzing in the buckwheat, and all the creatures were happy, including the hedgehog.
The hedgehog was standing before his door with his arms crossed, humming a little song to himself. Singing there to himself, half silently, it suddenly occurred to him that while his wife was washing and drying the children, he could take a little walk into the field and see how his turnips were doing. The turnips were close to his house, and he and his family were accustomed to eating them, so he considered them his own. No sooner said than done. The hedgehog closed the house door behind him and started down the path to the field. He hadn’t gone very far away from his house at all, only as far as the blackthorn bush which stands at the front of the field, near the turnip patch, when he met up with the hare, who had gone out for a similar purpose, namely to examine his cabbage.
When the hedgehog saw the hare, he wished him a friendly good morning. The hare, however, who was in his own way, a distinguished gentleman, and terribly arrogant about it, did not answer the hedgehog’s greeting. He, instead said in a terribly sarcastic manner, “How is it that you are running around in the field so early in the morning?” “I’m taking a walk,” replied the hedgehog. “Taking a walk? I should think that you could better use your legs for other purposes,” laughed the hare. This answer made the hedgehog terribly angry, for he could stand anything except remarks about his legs, for by nature they were crooked. “Can you imagine what you can accomplish more with your legs?” said the hedgehog to the hare. “I should think so,” said the hare. “That would depend on the situation,” said the hedgehog. “I bet, if we were to run a race, I’d pass you up,” he added. “That is a laugh!

I’ll be back here at this spot in a half hour.” The hare agreed and the hedgehog left.
On his way home the hedgehog thought to himself, “The hare is relying on his long legs, but I’ll still beat him. He may well be a distinguished gentleman, but he’s arrogant and still a fool, and he’ll be the one to pay.” Arriving home, he said to his wife, “Wife, get dressed quickly. You’ve got to go out to the field with me.” “What’s the matter?” said his wife. “I bet a gold louis d’or and a bottle of brandy with the hare that I could beat him in a race, and you should be there too.” “My God, man,” the hedgehog’s wife began to cry, “are you mad? Have you entirely lost your mind? How can you agree to run a race with the hare?” “This is my affair. Don’t get mixed up in men’s business. Hurry up now, get dressed, and come with me.” said the hedgehog. The hedgehog’s wife decided to support her husband.
As they walked toward the field together, the hedgehog said to his wife, “Now pay attention to what I tell you. You see, we are going to run the race down the long field. The hare will run in one furrow and I in another one. We’ll begin running from up there. All you have to do is to stand here in the furrow, and when the hare approaches from the other side, just call out to him, ‘I’m already here.’” instructed the hedgehog. With that, they arrived at the field, the hedgehog showed his wife her place, and then he went to the top of the field. When he arrived, the hare was already there. “Can we start?” said the hare. “Yes, indeed,” said the hedgehog. “On your mark!” And each one took his place in his furrow. The hare counted “One, two, three,” and he tore down the field like a windstorm. But the hedgehog ran only about three steps and then ducked down in the furrow and remained there sitting quietly. When the hare, in full run, arrived at the bottom of the field, the hedgehog’s wife called out to him, “I’m already here!” The hare, startled and bewildered, thought it was the hedgehog himself, for as everyone knows, a hedgehog’s wife looks just like her husband. The hare thought, “Something’s not right here.” He called out, “Let’s run back again!” “It’s all right with me,” answered the hedgehog. “For all I care, as often as you want.”
So the hare ran seventy-three more times, and the hedgehog always kept up with him. But the hare did not complete the seventy-fourth time because, during this moment, the arrogant hare fell on the ground and fainted. The hedgehog took the gold louis d’or and the bottle of brandy he had won, called his wife, and happily. Since that day, no hare has agreed to enter a race with a hedgehog.
Extract B: The Tortoise and the Hare
A long, long time ago, there lived a hare in the forest who always boasted of his running speed. He would often tease the tortoise for being the slowest animal around. One fine day, he dared the tortoise to a race in order to exhibit his skills in front of other animals in the forest. Fed up with the hare’s bragging, the tortoise finally accepted the challenge and decided to compete with him in a race.On the day of the race, all the animals of the forest gathered to watch the competition between the hare and the tortoise. Just as they were about to begin the race, the hare mocked the tortoise for accepting the challenge.
Further, he also mentioned that soon after he wins the race, the tortoise would be ridiculed by other animals for accepting the dare. The tortoise kept silent and didn’t pay heed to the hare’s words.
The race began at the count of one, two and three! The hare immediately started running and the tortoise started at its usual slow pace. Soon the hare reached a long way ahead almost a few yards from the finish line. He looked back to check if the tortoise was anywhere nearby. However, the tortoise was left far behind and almost could not be seen.
The hare decided to pause and take some rest on the way before he completed the race. He looked around and to his left, he noticed a field of cabbages and carrots. He decided to snack on cabbage and take a short nap so that he would quickly run past the finish line in a fresh mood.
Soon the hare fell into a deep sleep and dreamt of winning the competition. Time passed and the sun was already setting when he suddenly woke up. He quickly jumped to check if the tortoise was around. To his dismay, the tortoise was just a few steps away from the finish line.
Seeing the tortoise close to the finish line, the hare rushed towards it as fast as he could. However, it was too late and the tortoise finally crossed the finish line, thereby winning the competition.
When the hare reached the point where the race ended, all the animals were laughing at him for losing the race to the tortoise. That day, he learnt a lesson that bragging about something doesn’t win you accolades, hence you should never mock others for their own pace.
What were the reasons why the hares of both extracts did what they did?
I. To gain the trust of the forest
II. To boast their capabilities
III. To prove that they have more than just looks
IV. To show off that they are better

Girls Can Play Baseball Too!
Ila Borders was the first female pitcher in integrated men’s professional baseball and the first woman to win a men’s professional game in the independent leagues. 11……………….. They are also unaware of the 17 female players that have participated in the 68-year history of the Little League World Series. Mo’ne Davis, a 13-year-old pitcher prodigy, has changed all of that. With knee-buckling curveballs and 70 mph fastballs, the five-foot-tall teen pitcher for Philadelphia’s Taney Dragons not only competes with the boys, but she also dominates them.
Davis and 12-year-old Kayla Roncin, who plays for the Tom River Little League in New Jersey, drew the attention of the globe in early August as the only two girls among the hundreds of children on the 52 teams competing in the regional championships. While Roncin’s team was not one of the eight US teams to qualify for the 2014 Little League World Series in South Williamsport, PA, Davis and her Taney Dragons were one game away from the World Championships on August 21st when they fell to Chicago. 12……………….. In the span of a week, she became the first girl to win the Little League World Series and pitch a no-hitter, as well as the youngest athlete to grace the cover of Sports Illustrated!
On Wednesday, a record-breaking 34,128 spectators flocked to South Williamsport’s Lamande Stadium to watch the young baseball sensation take on Las Vegas, while an amazing 5.59 million viewers turned in to ESPN, shattering the network’s 11-year-old Little League viewing record of 3.3 million. 13……………….. Malaika Underwood, an infielder for the USA Baseball women’s national team, believes that it is the latter and that most people are missing the forest for the trees – they are so focused on the fact that Davis is playing with boys that they are overlooking the bigger picture – girls can also play baseball! Unfortunately, that may be difficult to achieve. The fact that women have shorter strides and lower velocities, which makes them less effective pitchers, is one of the strongest arguments against their ability to be great baseball players. However, a 2009 study of elite male and female baseball players showed that there was no physical explanation for these deficiencies. In fact, according to Glenn Fleisig, research director at the American Sports Medicine Institute and co-author of the study, the similarities between male and female players struck out to him more than the differences. According to the National Federation of State High School Association, just 1,259 of 476,050 high school players in 2012-2013, or less than 0.5%, were female. Yet there were 362,488 female fastpitch softball players!
Does this imply that girls have no interest in baseball? Fleisig disagrees. He believes it has more to do with the culture. Most men feel that girls are too weak to play sports. Even the illustrious Babe Ruth joked “I do not know what will occur if ladies are allowed to play baseball. They are too fragile. It would kill them to play daily baseball “when he learned that Jackie Mitchell, age 17, would be competing against him in an exhibition game. Even the fact that Mitchell had struck out both himself and Lou Gehrig did not convince him otherwise. Ila Borders, who fought against the system, has personally encountered this bias. 14……………….. Even more discouraging is the fact that little has changed. Kayla Roncin claims that she is occasionally jeered throughout the regular season.
Therefore, with sportsmen such as Mo’ne Davis redefining the phrase “throwing like a female,” will things eventually change? Mike Marshall, the former outfielder for the Dodgers who signed Eri Yoshida, the last woman to play men’s professional baseball in the United States, believes. According to him, it will only take one lady who can play second base to revitalise the sport. His only regret is that it will not be Davis, as the young woman has no intention of pursuing a professional baseball career. 15……………….. What does she recommend for adolescents? “Do what you want and don’t allow anyone to stop you.”

Question 16 of 25
16. Question
A. One of the most common and well-known types of pens is the ballpoint pen. Ballpoint pen ink is made from oil and dries faster than other kinds of ink. This means that you won’t smudge your writing as much. Because the ink is thick, ballpoint pens use less ink when you write with them, so they last longer than other types of pens. Another thing to think about is that thick ink is more likely to clump, so you have to write with more pressure. So, these pens aren’t the best for writing for a long time. But if you just want a simple pen to use every day, a ballpoint pen is a simple and reliable choice. C. There are four kinds of ink for marker pens: pigment, water-based, oil-based, and alcohol-based. Pigment inks and inks made from water are used on traditional paper. Oil- and alcohol-based inks, on the other hand, are used for things other than paper (e.g. plastic, metal, or glass). There are permanent markers, non-permanent markers (like dry-erase markers), highlighters, and porous point (or felt tip) pens. Marker pens are great for both writers and artists because they come in so many different sizes, colours, and styles. Marker pens are the best choice if you want to add a splash of colour to any of your projects. B. Rollerball pens look the same as ballpoint pens, but the ink in them is made from water. Water-based ink flows more quickly and soaks into the paper more than ballpoint pen ink. Because it is easy to write, you don’t have to put as much pressure on yourself. And because the ink flows so smoothly, rollerball pens are great for writing text with dark, fine lines. They also come in more colours because they use dyes that dissolve in water. Use a rollerball pen if you need to write for a long time, but make sure to refill the ink often because they use more ink than other types of pens. D. Gel pens are like a mix between ballpoint pens and rollerball pens. They use ink that is both liquid and thick and is made from water. This makes it less likely that the ink will smudge, but it still flows well enough to make writing easy. So, gel pens are easy to use like rollerball pens, but they work like ballpoint pens. Gel pens also come in a wide range of colours because they use pigments instead of regular dyes. Gel pens are a great choice if you want to make a bold statement but still need something reliable. Which extract mentions about a type of pen that boasts various designs and is excellent for illustrators and authors who want a dash of colour to their works?

Marker pens are the best choice if you want to add a splash of colour to any of your projects. B. Rollerball pens look the same as ballpoint pens, but the ink in them is made from water. Water-based ink flows more quickly and soaks into the paper more than ballpoint pen ink. Because it is easy to write, you don’t have to put as much pressure on yourself. And because the ink flows so smoothly, rollerball pens are great for writing text with dark, fine lines. They also come in more colours because they use dyes that dissolve in water. Use a rollerball pen if you need to write for a long time, but make sure to refill the ink often because they use more ink than other types of pens. D. Gel pens are like a mix between ballpoint pens and rollerball pens. They use ink that is both liquid and thick and is made from water. This makes it less likely that the ink will smudge, but it still flows well enough to make writing easy. So, gel pens are easy to use like rollerball pens, but they work like ballpoint pens. Gel pens also come in a wide range of colours because they use pigments instead of regular dyes. Gel pens are a great choice if you want to make a bold statement but still need something reliable. Which extract mentions about a type of pen that requires less weight when used since its ink is created using liquid?

Question 18 of 25
18. Question
A. One of the most common and well-known types of pens is the ballpoint pen. Ballpoint pen ink is made from oil and dries faster than other kinds of ink. This means that you won’t smudge your writing as much. Because the ink is thick, ballpoint pens use less ink when you write with them, so they last longer than other types of pens. Another thing to think about is that thick ink is more likely to clump, so you have to write with more pressure. So, these pens aren’t the best for writing for a long time. But if you just want a simple pen to use every day, a ballpoint pen is a simple and reliable choice. C. There are four kinds of ink for marker pens: pigment, water-based, oil-based, and alcohol-based. Pigment inks and inks made from water are used on traditional paper. Oil- and alcohol-based inks, on the other hand, are used for things other than paper (e.g. plastic, metal, or glass). There are permanent markers, non-permanent markers (like dry-erase markers), highlighters, and porous point (or felt tip) pens.

Question 21 of 25
21. Question
Becoming a Pantry Staple: Boxed Mac and Cheese
Pasta and cheese have been eaten together for a very long time. Clifford Wright, an expert on Mediterranean food history, says that the first written recipe for macaroni and cheese was created in the court of the king of Naples in the 13th century. The first reference in an English language cookbook probably appeared in Elizabeth Raffald’s book “The Experienced English Housekeeper” in 1769.
If you search the internet for macaroni and cheese recipes, you’ll get more than 5 million results. However, many people still prefer to buy it in a box, with pasta and a packet of dry cheese sauce. The search for ways to keep cheese stay fresh longer led to the creation of boxed macaroni and cheese. Some cheese gets better with age, like a well-aged cheddar, but once most cheeses reach their peak, they tend to go bad quickly. Before refrigerators were common in homes, many stores wouldn’t even sell cheese in the summer because it went bad so quickly. This problem has been around for a very long time.
In 1916, James L. Kraft, who sold cheese in Chicago, was given the first patent for processed cheese. Kraft knew about the problem of food going bad and tried different things to fix it. He tried wrapping it in tin foil, putting it in jars with lids, and even putting it in a can. He finally figured out that the bacteria that helped the cheese age well were also the bacteria that made it go bad in the end. So, he took some leftover pieces of cheddar cheese, heated them to kill the bacteria, ground them up with an emulsifier, and presto! He had made the first Kraft processed cheese. These early processed cheeses were like the processed American cheese slices we see in stores today, but the slices weren’t wrapped individually until 40 years later. In the years that followed, different kinds like Velveeta and Cheez Whiz came out. The product did well, but Kraft wanted to sell more processed cheese, so they came up with the idea of making a powdered base. The packet in a box of macaroni and cheese is mostly a cheese sauce. When you make it, you mix in the milk and butter.
When Kraft made different kinds of processed cheese, people liked them even though they had strange textures. It didn’t seem to bother people at all that it wasn’t natural. Rachel Laudan, a historian of food from around the world, says that back then, “natural was something quite nasty.” She says that fresh milk is warm and is “clearly a body fluid.” Since the beginning of cooking, most recipes have tried to turn an unappetizing raw ingredient into something delicious. So processed foods were a blessing for most people. They stayed fresh for a long time, were usually easy to digest, and, most importantly, tasted good. Many of them were easy to make, so women didn’t have to spend their whole days cooking and had more time for their jobs and hobbies.
Since fresh, local, and natural are so important in marketing today, you might think that processed foods are going the way of the dinosaur. But that’s not true. Almost all of the processed foods that were invented in the 20th century are still made in some way. People still eat a lot of mac and cheese, with about 7 million boxes of Kraft’s version being sold every week.
