himself. After hearing a sermon about Jarvis' Mother's Day in 1909, she told her pastor that fathers should
have a similar holiday honoring them. Although she initially suggested June 5, her father's birthday, the
pastors did not have enough time to prepare their sermons, and the celebration was deferred to the third
Sunday of June. The first celebration was in Spokane. Washington at the YMCA (Young Men's Christian
Association) on June 19,1910. Since then it has become a traditional day (44) ________ year.

Read thefollowing passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions from 29 to 33.
Australians place a high value on independence and personal choice. This means that a teacher or
course tutor will not tell students what to do, but will give them a number of options and suggest they work
out which one is the best in their circumstances. It also means that they are expected to take action if
something goes wrong and seek out resources and support for themselves.
Australians are also prepared to accept a range of opinions rather than believing there is one truth. This means
that in an educational setting, students will be expected to form their own opinions and defend the reasons for
that point of view and the evidence for it.
Australians are uncomfortable with differences in status and hence idealise the idea of treating
everyone equally. An illustration of this is that most adult Australians call each other by their first names. This
concern with equality means that Australians are uncomfortable taking anything too seriously and are even
ready to joke about themselves.
Australians believe that life should have a balance between work and leisure time. As a consequence,
some students may be critical of others who they perceive as doing nothing but study. Australian notions of
privacy mean that areas such as financial matters, appearance and relationships are only discussed with close
friends. While people may volunteer such information, they may resent someone actually asking them unless
the friendship is firmly established. Even then, it is considered very impolite to ask someone what they earn.
Question 29: Which best serves as the title for the passage?
A. A story about Australia
B. Australian culture shock
C. Things to do in Australia
D. Australian culture
Question 30: The word "them" in paragraph 1 refers to _______.
A. circumstances
B. Australians
C. options
D. students
Question 31: In paragraph 3, most adult Australians call each other by their first names because _______.
A. Australians are difficult to remember people's surnames
B. Australians restrict class discrimination
C. Australians get on well with each other
D. Calling each other by their first names makes them friendlier
Question 32: The word "critical” in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to _______.
A. faultfinding
B. grateful
C. complimentary
D. appreciative
Question 33: Which of the following is NOT true, according to the passage?
A. Asking someone what they earn is considered fairly polite.
B. Australians are prepared to accept a range of opinions.
C. Students in Australia will be expected to form their own opinions.
D. A teacher or course tutor will not tell students what to do.

Marriage is an ancient religious and legal practice celebrated around the world. However, wedding
customs vary from country to country.
The Wedding Dress: In many countries, it is customary for the bride to wear a white dress as a symbol
of purity. The tradition of wearing a special white dress only for the wedding ceremony started around 150
years ago. Before that, most women could not afford to buy a dress that they would only wear once. Now,
bridal dresses can be bought in a variety of styles. In some Asian countries and in the Middle East, colors of
joy and happiness like red or orange other than white are worn by the bride or used as part of the wedding
ceremony,
The Wedding Rings: In many cultures, couples exchange rings, usually made of golf or silver and worn
on the third finger of the left or right hand, during the marriage ceremony. The circular shape of the ring is
symbolic of the couple's eternal union. In Brazil, it is traditional to have the rings engraved with the bride's
name on the groom's ring, an vice versa.
Flowers: Flowers play an important role in most weddings. Roses are said to be the flowers of love,
and because they usually bloom in June, this has become the most popular month for weddings in many
countries. After the wedding ceremony, in many countries the bride throws her bouquet into a crowd of wellwishers – usually her single female friends. The person who catches this bouquet will be the next one to
marry.
Gifts: In Chinese cultures, w edding guests give gifts of money to the newly-weds in small red
envelopes. Money is also an appropriate gift at Korean and Japanese wedding. In many Western countries, for
example in the U.K, wedding guests give the bride and groom household items that they may need for their
new home. In Russia, rather than receiving gifts, the bride and groom provide gifts to their guests instead.
With the continued internationalization of the modern world, wedding customs that originated in one part of

countries.
