Roy wasn't the only one to receive his call-up papers.Stephen Napier's call-up came at the beginning of February and he was pleased to find that he would be going into the Royal Air Force (RAF). His father was not so pleased and made his feelings known as he and Stephen were on their daily walk. It was the first step in his plans for Stephen to take over the estate when the time came, and although Stephen was well aware of this, he could think of no reason not to accompany him. "Thought you'd forgotten that nonsense. Still, I dare say I could pull a few strings to get you to the Army..." "No, Father! I have told you I want to learn to fly. What chance would I have to do that in the Army? I'd be better off in the Navy----at least they've got the Fleet Air Arm. But I have been put in the RAF and that's where I want to be, so let's leave it at that." His face went red.

The father glared at Stephen, "No, I won't leave it at that. I want to know what other ridiculous ideas are in your head. For a start, what's all this about America?" "America?" "Yes. All those books I saw in your room the other day. Brochures about emigration ." The big, silvered head lowered, _ ."Don't trouble to deny it." "I won't, Father. Some men at Cambridge have been talking about it. They want people like us here, mathematicians and scientists, for all kinds of research----the sort of research I could do.It would be a worthwhile life for me." The father responded exactly as his son had known he would."You've got a worthwhile life here!You've got an estate to run!" "No, Father. You've got an estate to run. I never asked for it. Why not ask Baden to do this stuff? He perhaps can make a good job of it, but I..." "If he were here, I might think about this silly idea of yours----only think about it, mind you but..." Question: If Father wanted Stephen to take over the estate, the first thing he did would _ . - take a walk with Stephen as usual - wait till his son graduated from Cambridge - persuade Stephen not to go into RAF - send Stephen to the Army instead of RAF

Read the following article and select the best answer. Article: I'm a travel lover. I think it is very exciting to go to new places, experience different situations and see new things. Here's what I have come up with about why my travel is so interesting. To start with, whether we know it or not, every day is filled with anxiety about things that we don't need to worry about in the first place. Going to new places is a good chance to escape from our everyday worries. For example, after a whole day at work, I'm often physically and mentally tired and start to worry about things. However, the moment I get on the train or bus to my next destination I forget all my tiredness and worries. Next is one of the most important things in travel: movement. I always take along books to read on my train trips, but in the end, only about five pages or so ever get read, because I just look at things out of the window. Just the ability to move is very enjoyable. Movement also means that we are going to new places and seeing new things. But why is that important? Because experiencing new situations, people and ideas can help us to learn about new things and grow. I have never gone on a trip and come back as the same person; I have always changed and grown through travel. So take every type of trip you can, at every chance you get, and you will not only experience more of the world, but will become a happier person with rich experiences. Question: The passage is mainly about _ . - how to have a comfortable life - how to prepare for a trip - why travel is so exciting - why some people are tired of travelling
why travel is so exciting

Read the following article and select the best answer. Article: In many homes, divorce is caused by the "battle between the sexes." To understand the problem, one must remember that the modern American woman is freed. During childhood and adolescence , the American girl is given freedom and education which is equal to a boy's. After completing school, she is able to get a job and support herself. She doesn't have to marry for financial security. She considers herself an independent, self-sufficient person. She wants a husband whom she can respect, but she doesn't want to be dominated by him. She wants a democratic household in which she has a voice in making decisions. When a husband and wife are able to share decisionmaking, their marriage is probably closer, stronger, and more satisfying. Otherwise, the couple is likely to wind up in the divorce court. When a couple gets divorced, the court usually requires the man to pay his former wife a monthly sum of money. If the couple has children, they usually remain with the mother, and the father is expected to pay for their support. Although divorce is quite common in the United States, 80 percent of those who get divorced remarry. The remarriages allow thousands of people, especially children, to enjoy family life again, but at the same time many troubles have arisen. A well-known American joke tells of a wife calling to her second husband, "Quick, John! Come here and help me! Your children are beating up our chidlren!" Question: What happens when a couple is divorced, according to the passage? - The children become homeless. - The man is still responsible for the welfare of his children. - Life becomes difficult for the woman and her children. - The man, rather than the woman, remarries soon.
The man, rather than the woman, remarries soon.
