<br />
take pupils at three and four, although she has made lots of exceptions for keen five-year olds. When she<br />
started teaching the violin in 1972, her first class consisted of her children's five-year-old school friends.<br />
Magaret's pupils have group lessons. Each group has about a dozen pupils and each lesson lasts an<br />
hour, once a fornight. In addition, each pupil has one individual lesson a week with her. Parents also have to<br />
attend the classes. It is important that the parents take an active interest in the lessons.<br />
From the earliest lessons pupils learn to play by ear. They do not even try to read music until they<br />
have been playing for several years, and for a long time there is a big difference between their playing and<br />
reading of music. Margaret says that her method is not supposed to produce great violinists, and always<br />
suggests that pupils who perform particularly well should leave and study the violin using more traditional<br />
methods.<br />

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the<br />
correct answer to each of the questions.<br />
Chester Arthur, the 21st President of the United States, was an unlikely holder of the highest office in land.<br />
Born in Vermont in 1830, he was the son of an Irish immigrant father and a New Hampshire mother. After<br />
becoming a lawyer in New York, he joined the Republican Party and eventually came to hold a number of<br />
state offices there, including a position as head of the New York Customs House. Though personally honest,<br />
Arthur's administration was marred by corrupt practices, and he was removed from office in 1878. When<br />
James Garfield was elected as the Republican Party's presidential candidate in 1880's, Arthur, who belonged<br />
to a faction that had supported the denomination of President Grant, was offered the Vice-presidency as a<br />
conciliatory gesture. Arthur accepted, and then, in 1881, was elevated to the Presidency following Garfield's<br />
assassination. In view of his far from unblemished record and his lack of strong political support, even within<br />
his own party, Arthur's move to the White House was viewed with great concern by many Americans, but, to<br />
the astonishment of most, his administration proved to be a competent and honest one. However, he never was<br />
elected President in his own right, being defeated for the nomination at his party's convention in 1884, and<br />
dying in November two years later of Bright's disease during the presidency of a Democrat, Grover Cleveland.<br />
Question 35: How does the writer describe the fact that Arthur became President?<br />
A. as improbable<br />
B. as eventual<br />
C. as disliked<br />
D. as conciliatory<br />

C. one in which corruption was not eradicated from Arthur's office until 1878.<br />
D. a thoroughly corrupt administration<br />
Question 38: Why was Arthur invited to become Garfield's running-mate?<br />
