III. Read the passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions. (10 pts)
SPORTS TRAINING
          Parents whose children show special interest in a particular sport have a difficult decision to make about their children’s career. Should they allow their children to train to become top sportsmen and women? For many children, it means starting very young and school work, going out with friends and other interests have to take the second place. It’s very difficult to explain to a young child why he or she has to train for five hours a day, even at the weekend, when most of  his friends are playing.
          Another problem is of course money. In many countries, money for training is available from the government for the very best young sportsmen and women. If this help cannot be given, it means that it is the parents who have to find the time and money to support their child’s development – and sports clothes, transport to competitions, special equipment etc..can be all very expensive.
          Many parents are understandably worried that it is dangerous to start serious training at an early age. Some doctors agree that young muscles may be damaged by training before they are properly developed.
          Professional trainers, however, believe that it is only by starting young that you can reach the top as a successful sports person. What is clear is that very few people do reach the top and both parents and children should be prepared for the failure even after many years of training.
56. When a child is determined to train a sport, it means that .
     A. he or she has to study much harder in class.
     B. he or she needs to get the best marks in class.
     C. his or her time must be used for school work.
     D. his or her school work is considered less important than training.
57. In many countries, it’s the government that..
     A. trains all of the young sportsmen and women.
     B. provides the best young sportsmen and women with the money for training.
     C. helps parents with the transport to competitions.
     D. supplies the time and education for the best young sportsmen and women.
58. Some doctors think that
     A. training at an early age may cause damage to the muscles.
     B. Young muscles can be properly developed by training hard.
     C. by starting young, a child can reach the top as a sports person.
     D. it’s dangerous for young children to play any sports.
59. According to the author, parents and their children should..
     A. look forward to the failure.
     B. be made to expect the failure.
     C. think of the failure they may meet with.
     D. prepare for many years of training.

It was the first lesson after the summer holidays at a small school in England. The lesson was about the seasons of the year. "There are four seasons in the year," said the teacher,
"They are spring, summer, autumn, and winter. In spring, it is warm and every thing begins to grow. In summer, It is hot and there are many flowers in the fields and gardens. In autumn, there are many vegetables and much fruit. Everybody likes to eat fruit. In winter, It is cold and it often rains. Sometimes there is snow on the ground."
Here the teacher stopped and looked at one of the pupils "stop talking, Tom," he said. "Now listen to me. Can you tell us when is the best time of apples?"
