It was early spring, and there was a light mist over the trees and fields. The other young fellows and I were feeding at the lower end of the field when we heard the distant cry of dogs. The oldest among us lifted his head to listen. "There are the hounds ", he said, and immediately raced off. The rest of us followed him to the top of the field where we could see several fields beyond. Soon the dogs were all racing down the field next to ours, making a loud "yoyoyoyo" sound. After then came men on horses, some in green coats. Suddenly, the dogs became silent and ran around with their noses to the ground. "They've lost the smell of the hare." said the old horse. "Perhaps it will escape." But the dogs began their "yoyoyoyo" again and came at full speed towards our field. Just then a hare, wild with fear, ran towards the trees. The dogs jumped over the stream and ran across the field, followed by the huntsmen. Six or eight jumped their horses over the stream, close behind the dogs. Before the hare could get away, the dogs were upon her with wild cries. We heard a terrible scream, and that was the end of the hare. One of the men picked her up and held her by the leg. She was covered in blood, but all the huntsmen seemed pleased. I was so greatly surprised that at first I did not see what was happening by the stream but when I did look, I saw a sad sight. Two fine horses were down, one in the stream struggling to stand up and the other on the grass with one of his legs broken. One rider, who seemed unhurt, was climbing out of the water, but the other lay quite still. "His neck is broken," said my mother. "I can't understand why men are so fond of this sport. They often hurt themselves and ruin good horses, all for one hare that they could get more easily in other ways. But we are only horses, and don't know why men do these things."

Read the following article and select the best answer. Article: Apple has lost a creative genius and the world has lost an amazing human being. Those of us who have been fortunate enough to know and work with Steve Jobs have lost a dear friend and an inspiring mentor. Steve Jobs leaves behind a company that only he could have built, and his spirit will forever be the foundation of Apple. Steven Jobs was born on February 24, 1955, in San Francisco, California. As a child, Jobs preferred doing things by himself. He was a competitive swimmer at school, but was not interested in any other team sports or other group activities. He showed an early interest in electronics. He spent a lot of time working in the garage workshop of a neighbor who was an electronics manufacturer. He went to college but decided to drop out. Recalling his time there he said, " I didn't have a dorm room, so I slept on the floor in friends' rooms; I sold coke bottles to buy food, and I would walk seven miles across town every Sunday night to get one good meal a week at the Hare Krishna temple." Jobs and a friend started a company in a garage on April 1, 1976. Jobs named their company Apple in memory of a happy summer he had spent as an orchard worker in Oregon. After ten years, Apple, which started with two kids working in a garage, had grown into a $2 billion company with over 4,000 employees. At 30, Jobs was fired from the company he founded with Steve Wozniak. He left the company after losing a bitter battle over control with Apple's CEO John Sculley. In 1997, Jobs rejoined Apple. He is the brain behind the best-selling iPhone, iPad and iPod. Jobs said, "Your time is limited, so don't waste it. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most importantly, have the courage to follow your heart..." Question: What can we learn about Jobs from the passage? - He left college after three years' study. - He dropped out because he didn't like study. - His college life was quite hard. - He lived in the dorm when he was in college.
(A).
His college life was quite hard.

Read the following article and select the best answer. Article: If you're into sports, you've seen it happen. You've probably even experienced it: basketball players shaking hands after four quarters of knocking each other around, tennis players leaping over the net to shake hands with their opponents after a hard-fought match, soccer players exchanging sport shirts after an intense 90 minutes, even boxers touching gloves at the beginning of each round, then hugging each other after beating each other into a pulp for 12 rounds. It seems like competitors in every event, from spelling bees to hockey, behave this way. What's going on? It's all part of sportsmanship, a great tradition in sports and competition that means playing clean and handling both victory and defeat with grace, style, and dignity. What is sportsmanship? Sportsmanship is defined as: playing fair, following the rules of the game, respecting the judgment of referees and officials, treating opponents with respect. Some people define good sportsmanship as the "golden rule" of sports --- in other words, treating the people you play with and against as you'd like to be treated yourself. You demonstrate good sportsmanship when you show respect for yourself, your teammates, and your opponents, for the coaches on both sides, and for the referees, judges, and other officials. But sportsmanship isn't just reserved for the people on the field. Cheerleaders and fans also need to be aware of how they behave during competition. Sportsmanship is a style and an attitude; and it can have a positive influence on everyone around you. Learning good sportsmanship means finding that the positive attitude learned on the field carries over into other areas of life. At school, for example, you're able to appreciate the contributions made by classmates and know how to work as part of a team to complete a project. You may enjoy more success at work as well, because a big part of learning good sportsmanship is learning to be respectful of others, including customers and co-workers. Question: The author introduces the topic of the passage by _ . - showing an interesting discussion - comparing several sport events - explaining some game rules - giving some specific examples
(A).
