________, Peter came to see me.

C. When I will be having dinner

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct word or phrase that best fits each of the numbered blanks from <START> to <END>. Medellin, Colombia’s second city, used to have one of the highest crime rates in the world, but thanks to a variety of initiatives, crime has dropped by 80 percent. Surprisingly, one part of the solution is cable cars. Since 2004, the city has invented over $60 million during a system of cable cars to connect the so-called “barrios” to the centre of the city. The barrios – poorer residential areas – are located in the hills around Medellin and the cable cars, which are efficient and affordable, have reduced some journey times from two hours to seven minutes. The radical thinking behind the cable car is to integrate the poor into the city, rather than forcing them to the edge of it and thereby excluding them. Libraries and crèches have been built around the cable car stations, allowing mothers to leave their children close to home while they go to work in the city. The side effects of this project have been to reduce pollution and crime, and to turn what was previously a no-go area into a tourist destination. The cable cars are, of course, not the only reason for Medellin’s renaissance. New and impressive public buildings, designed by local architects, have restored a sense of pride in the city and even the poorest slum housing is now being adequately supplied with water and electricity. Medellin still has challenges to overcome but already it is being seen as an example to other cities around the world of how to cope with the problems of urbanisation. (Word count: 255) ( Adapted from Cutting Edge – Advanced by Sarah Cunningham et al.) Which could be the best title of the passage?

A. Cable Cars – Medellin’s invention

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct word or phrase that best fits each of the numbered blanks from <START> to <END>. In American, although most men still do less housework than their wives , that gap has been halved since the 1960s. Today, 41 per cent of couples say they share childcare equally, compared with 25 percent in 1985. Mẹn’s greater involvement at home is good for their relationships with their spouses, and also good for their children. Hands-on fathers make better parents than men who let their wives do all the nurturing and childcare. They raise sons who are more expressive and daughters who are more likely to do well in school – especially in math and Science. In 1900, life expectancy in the United States was 47 years, and only four per cent of the population was 65 or older. Today, life expectancy is 76 years, and by 2025, it is estimated about 20 per cent of the us, population will be 65 or older. For the first time, a generation of adults must pay for the needs of both their parents and their children. Most Americans are responding with remarkable grace. One in four households gives the equivalent of a full day a week or more in unpaid care to an aging relative, and more than half say they expect to do so in the next 10 years. Older people are less likely to be impoverished or incapacitated by illness than in the past, and have more opportunity to develop a relationship with their grandchildren. Even some of the choices that worry people the most are turning out to be manageable . Divorce rates are likely to remain high, and in many cases marital breakdown causes serious problems for both adults and kids. Yet when parents minimize conflict, family bonds can be maintained. And many families are doing this . More non-custodial parents are staying in touch With their children. Child-support receipts are rising. A lower proportion of children from divorced families are exhibitive problems than in earlier decades. And stepfamilies are learning to maximize children’s access to supportive adults rather than cutting them off from one side of the family. (345 words) (Source: Adapted from U.S. Society and Values) Which of the following can be the most suitable heading for paragraph 1?

B. Benefits of men’s involvement at home

C. Drawbacks of men’s involvement at home
