 There is a saying that first impressions are generally correct and I would say that
(1) throughout my entire life, I have found this to be true apart from one ALL
notable exception of a good friend and neighbor with whom my first (2) was CHANGE
decidedly unfriendly.
 At the time of our first meeting I was living in a (3) area of London, 
not far from the exit of a dual carriageway and this meant that although it was a DEPRIVE
(4) RESIDENCE 
 street, even with the (5) will in the world, drivers would often GOOD 
travel dangerously fast within inches of my front door. This used to really annoy me BOARD
and I have to admit I did often go a bit (6) in expressing my anger even REASON
though (or perhaps because) I knew I didn't stand a (7) chance of being 
taken notice of or even noticed at all. So when one day, I shouted my usual string of 
swear words at a rapidly passing car and it immediately screamed to a halt, my first 
reaction was an enormous sense of (8) . But then the driver of the car opened ACHIEVE
his window and shouted a stream of swear words back at me.

PART III. READING
I. Read the passage carefully, then choose the correct option (marked A, B, C or D) to answer the 
questions.
 The food we eat seems to have profound effects on our health. Although science have made 
enormous steps in making food more fit to eat, it has, at the same time, made any foods unfit to eat. 
Some research has shown that perhaps 80 percent of all human illness are related to diet and 40 
percent of cancer is related to diet as well, especially cancer of colon. People of different cultures are 
more prone to contact certain illnesses because of the characteristics food they consume.
 That food is related to illness is not a new discovery. In 1945, government researchers showed 
that nitrates and nitrites (commonly used to preserve color in meats) as well as other food additives 
caused cancer. Yet, these carcinogenic additives remain in our food, and it becomes more difficult all 
the time to know which ingredients on the packaging labels of processed food are helpful or harmful.
 The additives we eat are not all so direct. Farmers often give penicillin to cattle and poultry, 
and because of this, penicillin has been found in the milk of treated cows. Sometimes similar drugs 
are administered to animals not for medical purposes, but for financial reasons. The farmers are 
simply trying to fatten the animals in order to obtain a higher price on the market. Although the Food 
and Drug Administration (FDA) has tried repeatedly to control these procedures, the practices 
continue. The gorillas here make a small but viable population. (5) in the national parts the usual 
animals, elephants, rhinos, giraffes, are either not there or present in insignificant numbers which are 
dangerously out of (6) with the creatures around them. If Uganda stays calm, wildlife may, 
in
(7) , return by itself. But Gladys believes the country cannot wait. Animals must be brought in 
to swell tourism and provide (8) to expand her work.
 Despite her difficulties, Gladys feels more useful and fulfilled than she would be anywhere 
else. "At this moment, my friends from vet school are reading the best way to (9) a cat or dog, and 
here am I planning to translocate elephants. In my small (10) I am part of the reconstruction 
and rehabilitation of my country."
