Passage 3
The Eiffel Tower’s considered to be one of the most striking pieces of structural art in
the word. For most people, it is the first thing that comes to mind when they think of France.
Situated next to the Seine River in Paris, the tower stands 300m high and overlooks the
entire city. It was named after its designer, engineer Gustave Eiffel.
Completed in 1889, it is said that the tower was extremely hard to build because unlike
modern skyscrapers, the Eiffel Tower is an open structure and has no floors except its two
platforms. Fortunately, only one worker died during its construction thanks to Mr. Eiffel, who
made an effort to take good care of his workers.
At first, the tower was met with great resistance from the public because people
thought it was a monstrosity and did not go well with the city’s sky line. If you take into account
that the tower was erected over 100 years ago, you can imagine why people disliked this
structure. However, Parisians gradually became fond of it, and today it has become the single
most famous symbol of not only Paris but France as well.

Passage 4
Mount Tambora, on Sumbawa Island, Indonesia, erupted in April 1815. It destroyed
most of the island's population and its vegetation. Trees were pushed into the sea along with
the volcanic ash. Tsunamis caused by the explosion also affected islands nearby.
But the volcano's destructive power wasn't just limited to that area. The United States
experienced extreme frosts and heavy snow even in July, ruining everything in the fields. The
same happened elsewhere, causing a worldwide famine. This helped to spread a new strain of
cholera in Asia and typhus in other regions.
Experts are now saying that Mount Tambora is likely to erupt again. Steady streams of

Passage 5
 The Great Sphinx of Giza in Egypt is a 20.22- meter tall stone figure of a lion with the head
of a human. The structure of the Sphinx is cut entirely out of rock. Some people believe that
there is a hidden area inside which people can enter, but no one has yet found a way to get in.
Many stories have been told about the Great Sphinx as if it were a living creature and had the
human qualities of being strong and wise.
There is one story about a young man who fell asleep next to the Great Sphinx. The man
had gone hunting that day and he was tired. As he slept, the man dreamt that he would become
the King of Egypt if he cleared away the desert sand that was partially covering the Sphinx.
But the story oddly had no ending. What do you think happened? Did the boy clean the
sand away from the Sphinx? Did he become King of Egypt? No one seems to know.
Over time, wind and sand have worn away part of the Great Sphinx's nose as well as
other areas. However, it is now being restored to look much like it once did.

8. What is the story mainly about?

a. A lion b. An animal c. A king d. A statue
9. Which of the following is TRUE about the young man in the story?
a. He became King of Egypt. b. The day's hunting tired him out.
c. He dreamt that the Sphinx came alive. d. He thought he saw the Sphinx's nose.
10. What might the young man have done after he woke up?
a. Cleared the sand from the Sphinx. b. Revolted against the King of Egypt.
c. Brought the Sphinx to life. d. Moved the Sphinx away. 11.
What happened to the young man at the end of the story?
a. He disappeared. b. He stayed near the Sphinx.
c. The King of Egypt sent him away. d. It is still unknown.
12. What would be the best title for this passage?
a. The King of Egypt b. The Egyptian Desert
c. The Sphinx and Its Story d. The Restoration of the Sphinx
