PASSAGE 1
On his first day of school, pat Fitzsimons was bullied. From that moment on, he did not like
school. He struggled through it until he could finally leave at the age of 15, lacking even basic
skills. After leaving school, Pat worked in a knitwear factory and later on a building site. His
supervisors noticed his potential and offered him an apprenticeship to become a plasterer. As a
plasterer, he earned enough money to get by, but his inability to read and write still bothered him.
"When it came to forms and dealing with banks - I couldn't do any of that. Because I couldn't read,
spell, or write, which was a major challenge and an embarrassment. But that was just the reality
of my education and who I was," said Pat.

slowly learned to read and took up something he had always enjoyed: the arts. (II) Evening art

journey.

college. The support from the staff helped him fill out forms and apply for financial aid. His college
experience was entirely different from his time in school, and after four years of hard work, Pat
graduated. "When I graduated, I found it amazing because I thought that was the day that was
never going to come. That was the day I thought I would never see because I was going to be a
drop-out. I was convinced that I could not do this. But the encouragement from the college and
the teachers was so great. They made me believe, not in the education, but in myself!" said Pat
Fitzsimons.

PASSAGE 2
Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate
the best answer to each of the questions.
Rice's whales, found off the coast of Florida, are incredibly rare marine mammals.
Scientists recently identified them as a distinct species, previously thought to be a type of Bryde's
whale. discovery was both thrilling and concerning. On one hand, it's unusual to find a new
mammal species, especially one as large as Rice's whale, which can grow up to 40 feet long and
weigh as much as 30 tons. On the other hand, the realization that these magnificent creatures are
critically endangered is alarming. Researchers estimate there are only 51 left, making them one of
the scarcest marine mammals globally.
Living in the Gulf of Mexico, Rice's whales face numerous threats. Their habitat is located
in a busy shipping corridor, putting them at constant risk of collisions with vessels. Military
activities, oil and gas exploration, and pollution further endanger their survival. The Gulf oil spill
in 2010 affected nearly half of their habitat, killing about 17% of the remaining population,
sickening another 18%, and causing reproductive issues in nearly a quarter of females.
To better understand and protect Rice's whales, scientists are conducting research
projects in collaboration with the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration. One
recent study used the whales' unique vocalizations to track their movements. Surprisingly,
the study found that these whales venture beyond their usual range, traveling as far west as the
coast of Texas. This information is crucial for developing conservation strategies.
Protecting Rice's whales involves addressing various human activities that threaten their
survival. Measures to reduce vessel strikes and mitigate the impacts of oil and gas exploration are
essential. Additionally, minimizing noise pollution, particularly from seismic testing, is crucial as
it impinges on the whales' communication and navigation abilities.
Efforts to raise awareness and garner support for Rice's whale conservation are underway.
Marine scientists and conservationists are urging governments to take action to protect these
majestic creatures. Lawsuits are being made to stop activities that pose a threat to their survival,
such as air gun blasting used in oil and gas exploration.
Despite the challenges, there is hope for the future of Rice's whales. By understanding their
behavior and habitat needs, we can implement effective conservation measures to ensure their
survival. With concerted efforts from scientists, governments, and the public, we can prevent the
extinction of this critically endangered species and ensure a brighter future for Rice's whales.
