 In the summer of 1959, something went wrong with the power plant that 
provides New York with electricity. For a great many hours, life came almost to a 
standstill. Trains refused to move and the people in them sat in the dark, powerless to do 
anything. Lifts stopped working, so that even if you were lucky enough not to be 
trapped between two floors, you had the unpleasant task of finding your way down 
hundreds of flights of stairs. Famous streets like Broadway and Fifth Avenue in an 
instant became as gloomy and uninviting as the most remote back street. 
 . 1. In New York, people used energy more efficiently. 
 . 2. When there was no electricity, life in New York seemed to stop. 
 . 3. Trains in New York could move without electricity. 
 . 4. If the lifts don’t work, you must walk downstairs. 
 . 5. In this paragraph, Broadway is a famous theater in New York. 
3. Read the passage and choose the correct answer ( 2 points.) 
 When most people think about changing their body shape, they usually focus on 
just losing weight. Books and magazines about dieting are among the most popular in 
the world. Aerobics, which involves jumping and stretching exercises to strengthen the 
heart and lungs, is also popular, especially with women. 
 But neither of these two methods can help shape the body. To do this, you need to 
build muscle. So if a firmer, shapelier body is your goal, you should have 60 percent of 
strengthening moves in your exercise routine, and only30 percent for aerobic exercise. 
 For a proper body-shaping routine, you should plan three strength-training 
sessions a week with weights. Use weights which are as heavy as possible while 
allowing you to do 8 to 12 reps of each exercise. Do one to three exercises for each 
muscle group. Each session should focus on two or three muscle groups – for example, 
chest and biceps, or back, shoulders and triceps. 
 1. What is the best title of the passage? 
 A. Changing Your Body Shape B. Dieting 
 C. How to Become A Model D. Strengthening-training Ways 
 2. What do people focus on when they think of changing their body shape? 
 A. Dieting B. Losing weights C. Gaining weights D. Aerobics 
 3. If you want to have a shapelier body, your exercise should be . 
 A. 30 % of strengthening moves, 60 % of dieting 
 B. 30 % dieting, 60 % of jumping 
 C. 60 % of strengthening moves, 30 % of aerobics exercises 
 D. 60 % of strengthening moves, 30 % dieting 
 4. What does the word proper most nearly mean? 
 A. social B. appropriate C. bad D. strong 
 5. What are defined as muscle group in the passage? 
 A. chest, back and ankles B. triceps and wrists 
 C. biceps, shoulders and fingers D. chest, triceps and biceps 
Part 4: Writing: (3 points)

Write a paragraph (about 80 -100 words) to tell about: 
 4 - Your journey. 
- The person you stay with.
