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 question from 1 to 7.
These days, most people in Britain and the US do not wear very formal clothes. But sometimes it is
important to wear the right thing.
Many British people don't think about clothes very much. They just like to be comfortable. When they
go out to enjoy themselves, they can wear almost anything. At theatres, cinemas and concerts you can put on
what you like from elegant suits and dresses to jeans and sweaters. Anything goes, as long as you look clean
and tidy.
But in Britain, as well as in the US, men in offices usually wear suits and ties, and women wear dresses
or skirts (not trousers). Doctors, lawyers and business people wear quite formal clothes. And in some hotels
and restaurants men have to wear ties and women wear smart dresses.
In many years, Americans are more relaxed than British people, but they are more careful with their
clothes. At home, or on holiday, most Americans wear informal or sporty clothes. But when they go out in the
evening, they like to look elegant. In good hotels and restaurants, men have to wear jackets and ties, and
women wear pretty clothes and smart hairstyles.
It is difficult to say exactly what people wear informal or formal in Britain and the US, because
everyone is different. If you are not sure what to wear, watch what other people do and then do the same.
You'll feel more relaxed if you don't look too different from everyone else.

to
indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions from 41 to 48.
After 1785, the production of children's books in the Untied States increased but remained largely
reprints of British books, often those published by John Newbery, the first publisher to produce books aimed
primarily at diverting a child audience. Ultimately, however, it was not the cheerful, commercial-minded
Newbery, but Anglo-Irish author Maria Edge worth who had the strongest influence on this period of
American children's literature. The eighteenth century had seen a gradual shift away from the spiritual
intensity of earlier American religious writings for children, toward a more generalized moralist. Newbery
notwithstanding, Americans still looked on children's books as vehicles for instruction, not amusement,
though they would accept a moderate amount of fictional entertainment for the sake of more successful
instruction. As the children's book market expanded, then, what both public and publishers wanted was the
kind of fiction Maria Edge worth wrote: stories interesting enough to attract children and morally instructive

enough to allay adult distrust of fiction.
American reaction against imported books for children set in after the War of 1812 with the British. A
wave of nationalism permeated everything, and the self-conscious new nation found foreign writings
(particularly those from the British monarchy) unsuitable for the children of a democratic republic, a slate of
self-governing, equal citizens. Publishers of children's books began to encourage American writers to write for
American children. When they responded, the pattern established by Maria Edge worth was at hand, attractive
to most of them for both its rationalism and its high moral tone. Early in the 1820's, stories of willful children
learning to obey, of careless children learning to take care, of selfish children learning to "tire for others,"
started to flow from American presses, successfully achieving Edge worth’s tone, though rarely her lively
style. Imitative as they were, these early American stories wee quite distinguishable from their British
counterparts. Few servants appeared in them, and if class distinctions had by no means disappeared, there was
much democratic insistence on the worthiness of every level of birth and work. The characters of children in
this fiction were serious, conscientious, self-reflective, and independent-testimony to the continuing influence
of the earlier American moralistic tradition in children's books.
