Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate
the correct answer to each of the questions.
The Amazing Race (TAR) is a popular reality TV show. Elise Doganieri and Bertram van
Munster created it in 2001 and since then it has won many awards. In the show, teams travel
around the world to different places. They try to arrive first, or at least not come last and they also
try to win prizes on their journey.
Every year, between 10 and 12 teams play on the show. There are two people in each team
and they must know each other before they come on the game. For example, they can be husband
and wife, parents and children, friends, etc. They have to travel to different countries and work
together on the journey. The teams get some money at the beginning of the race and they use it to
buy food, tickets, etc. They can use planes, trains, bikes or even skis to travel.
The teams explore places they've never been to before and have games or “challenges”.
These challenges have some connection to the country they are in and can be things like riding a
camel, solving puzzles or eating a lot of food, for example. The teams often have to face extreme
weather conditions during their journey. Many times they are outside in the rain or snow or in
storms and get cold and wet. It's all part of the experience, though.
Each week, one team leaves the show, and in the end there are only four teams. The first
team to get to the last city on the journey wins the game. TAR is a very hard game and the teams
become really stressed, but it's an amazing experience.

A two-time winner of People magazine's “Sexiest Man Alive” title (1995 and 2000), Pitt
began dating Jennifer Aniston, star of the TV sitcom Friends, in 1998. Pitt and Aniston married on
July 29, 2000, in Malibu, California. The couple announced their separation in January 2005,
divorcing in October of that year.
Soon after their separation, Brad Pitt began dating Angelina Jolie, with the actress later
revealing that the two developed feelings for each other on the set of Mr. and Mrs. Smith. In May
2006, the couple had a baby girl, Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt. In July 2008, Pitt and Jolie had twins. a
boy, Knox Leon, and a girl, Vivienne Marcheline. They also have three adopted children. Maddox,
Pax Thien and Zahara.
The couple became engaged in 2012 and tied the knot in a private ceremony on August 23,
2014, in France. However, Jolie filed for divorce in September 2016, requesting sole physical
custody of their six children.
The drama surrounding their contentious split played out the media, with Jolie in June
2018 reported to be in danger of losing custody due to her insistence on keeping the children
from seeing their father. In August, Jolie filed court documents that claimed her estranged
husband had “paid no meaningful child support since separation.” Pitt's legal team followed with
their own filing in which they asserted that the actor had paid more than $1.3 million in bills for
the family and helped his wife buy her current home through an $8 million loan.
The actor faced more legal problems that month when an attorney announced plans to sue Pitt's
Make It Right Foundation on behalf of residents of an area of New Orleans that was devastated by
Hurricane Katrina. The foundation built more than 100 “green” houses in 2008, and allegedly
promised to return to make necessary fixes. The lawyer claimed his clients endured
infrastructural issues and illnesses at their homes.
