Choose the item among A, B, C or D that best answers the question about the passage.
My village was never a big village, nor was it particularly successful or well-known. It was
a place where simple people worked on their land, tending citrus groves and running poultry
farms. The most exotic plantation grew avocados, and a palm tree nursery was something of an
attraction.
The village was established by a group of Greek immigrants in 1937 in what was then
known as British-controlled Palestine. When we first moved here, one could still hear some
Greek in the street, the local store sold original Greek delicacies and from time to time we were
invited to sit on a neighbor’s porch and share some ouzo at the end of a working day.
In the last few years, my village has changes dramatically. Very few people work in

agriculture now; they can no longer support their families growing oranges and chicken. As a
result, they must find their income outside the village and rent out their land or sell their little
family farms altogether. Some of the land is still used for agriculture, but no longer for the
family farms. Now it is the agriculture of luxuries.

B. It was successful.

27.According to the passage, what did the people in the village NOT do?
A. Worked on their land.
B. Tended citrus groves.
C. Raised animals on the farms.
D. Grew avocados.
28.The founders of the village were immigrants from _________.
A. Palestine
B. Greece
C. Britain
D. family farms
29.What can best describe the change of the village recently?
A. The change is very fast.
B. The change is very slow.
C. The change is normal.
D. There is not much change.
30.How do the villagers earn their living now?
A. They grow oranges and chicken.
B. They run family farms.
C. They work in the outside villages.
D. They hire out their land and sell their farms.

A. Read the following passage and then choose the best answer to the question.
Louis Braille was born in France in 1809. His father had a small business. He made shoes and other
things from leather. Louis liked to help his father in the store even when he was very small. One day
when Louis was 3 years old, he was cutting some leather, suddenly the knife slipped and hit him in the
eyes. He soon became completely blind.
When he was ten years old, he entered the National Institute for the blind in Paris. One day his class
went to visit a special exhibit by a captain in the army. One thing in the exhibit was very interesting for
Louis. It showed messages in code. Armies send messages in secret codes so no-one else can read them.
The captain wrote this code in raised letters on very thick paper.
Louis thought a lot about this code. Then he decided to write in the same way so the blind could
“read” with their fingers. It is very difficult to feel the differences between raised letters. Instead of
letters, Louis used a “cell” of six dots. He arranged the dots with two dots across and three down. So
blind people can read and write even write music by Braille.
