2. Read the following story and answer the questions 6-10. (1x0.1p=0.5p)

The phone rang at Ted Thomson’s house at nearly three in the morning.

Ted fumbled for the phone in the dark. He answered groggily after the fourth ring.

“Hello,” Ted mumbled into the receiver.

“Mr. Thomson. Thank goodness. I need your help.”

Ted knew the voice, for sure. But still drowsy, he could not quite place it.

“Mr. Thomson!” the man said again in a raspy, loud whisper. “I am in jail. I was allowed one phone call. I’m calling you.”

Then, the fog cleared. Although nearly ten years had passed since their last encounter, Ted was able to discern something familiar in this voice. It belonged to a boy named Edward Ferras, easily one of the most brilliant math students he had ever taught. But while Ted recalled that Edward possessed an enviable aptitude for math, he also had a knack for getting into trouble.

Still, they had forged a strong student-teacher bond, and when Edward graduated from Linebrook High School, Ted had told him, “Call me if there is anything you ever need.”

So here it was – the call in the middle of the night.

“Yes, Edward. Is that you?”

“Yes, Mr. Thomson. Can you help?”

“What do you need?”

“Bail money.”

“What did you do?”

“We’ll talk about that later. Can you get me one thousand bucks?”

Ted knew he could, but he was hesitant. What had Edward done? What was Ted getting himself into? Ted’s belief in honoring his word determined his decision. “Yes, I can. Where shall I bring it?”

“I’m at Jessup in Brooklyn. My brother will come by your place in the morning. Give the money to him, and he will come and bail me out.”

“Okay.”

Upon hanging up the phone, Ted was overcome by a dreadful feeling – his intuition told him that the decision to bail Edward out would be one that would vex him for a very, very long time.

Part IV

Writing Skill
Choose one of the topics below and write an essay in about 250 words.
1. Cars enslave us rather than liberate us.

2. Greater freedom does not necessarily lead to greater happiness.

3. The internet has transformed the way information is shared and consumed, but it has also created problems that did not exist before. What are the most serious problems associated with the internet and what solutions can you suggest?

4. Discuss the problems of unemployment and offer possible solutions.

5. Smoking is on the increase among young people. Discuss the problem and suggest what might be done about it.

Firstly,we all know that ,Nowadays, the problem of smoking is becoming a headache for many people. It is especially, prevalent among younger generation. Due to the lack of parents’ attention to their children, they are getting addicted to bad habits, such as smoking. Consequently, young people are taking a high risk of suffering from incurable diseases like, cancer and tuberculosis. The aim of this essay is to offer some solutions with their possible outcomes to this issue. One possible solution to address this problem is to promote antismoking activities by TV programs or other source of mass media. As recent surveys show that most of the youth are taking up smoking because of not being aware of its devastating consequences. If the harms of smoking were known by young people, they would think carefully before lighting their cigarettes. So, with the help of mass propaganda, the society we live in would less suffer from tobacco addiction of the youth. Another step which should be taken in order to deal with the smoking among youngsters is to make children busy with some useful activities. Sport for example, is not only to keep them far from harmful smoking, but also leads the youth to a healthy life style. By involving in different helpful extracurricular activities after classes, young children can lay the foundation for the future life rather than spoiling it by taking up smoking. Thus, it is clear that making children busy, addiction to smoking can be avoided. All in all, there are many measures could be taken to combat this problem. If governments and parents alike were to collaborate on fighting against youth smoking, the results would be more productive.
