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.
ROUTINES
Think about your daily life. Do you follow the same road to work every day? Do you sit in
the same place in class? When you get dressed, do you always put the same leg or arm in first?
You probably do, because we all have routines in our lives.
Routines save time and energy because you do them without thinking, that's why they are
so important in the morning when your brain isn't active. Here's Jo talking about her morning
routine.
“Oh yes, I always do exactly the same things. I wake up at seven o'clock every morning, but
I don't get up till quarter past seven. I switch on the radio and listen to the news. Then I go to the
loo and I brush my teeth. I have a shower and dry my hair. Then I choose my clothes and I get
dressed. I don't eat anything for breakfast. I just have a cup of coffee. Then I go to work. Yes, it's
always the same.”
Routines are very useful, but they also make you uncreative. So sometimes it's a good idea
to break your routines. Get out of bed on the opposite side. Listen to a different radio station. Take
a different routine to work. Eat something different for breakfast. Change your routine. You never
know, it could change your life.
27: What does this passage mainly discuss?
A. Our Daily Work.
B. Changes in Our Lives.
C. Our Usual Ways of Doing Things.
D. Jo's Timetable.
28: Which of the sentences is TRUE?
A. Our lives could be changed if we change our routines.
B. We shouldn't break our routines.
C. People who have routines are unable to think.
D. Routines make our brain creative.
29: According to the passage, routines are useful because ______.
A. they save time and energy
B. we all have them in our lives
C. we can do them in the morning
D. they make a habit of never thinking
30: The word “them” in paragraph 2 refers to ______.
A. thinkings
B. routines
C. lives
D. time and energy
31: The word 'loo' in paragraph 3 can best be replaced with ______.

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.
Nepal has made important progress over the past few years to promote equality, but the
country still has one of the highest rates of child marriage in the world. 41% of Nepalese girls are
married before the age of 18.
Poverty is both a cause and consequence of child marriage in Nepal. Girls from the wealthiest
families marry 2 years later than those from the poorest, who are seen as an economic burden, and
who drop out of school and earn little money.
Food insecurity plays an important role too. Nepalese families that do not have enough food to
eat are more likely to marry their daughters at a young age to decrease the financial burden. One
study shows that 91% of people who had secure access to food married over the age of 19.
Dowry is also common practice in many communities. Parents marry their daughters as soon
as possible because the money they have to pay to the groom's family is higher if their daughter is
older. Since 2010, the legal age of marriage is 20 for both men and women, or 18 with parental
consent, according to the Nepalese Country Code.
