own town. So, university students usually live away from home. Students get a grant from the government
to study. At the beginning of your last year at school, you receive an application form. On this form you
choose up to five universities that you would like to go to. The form is sent to those universities with
information from your school about you and your academic record. If the universities are interested in your
application, they will ask you to attend an interviewIf they are still interested after the interview, they will
offer you a place.

to get when you do your A-level exams. If you don't obtain those grades, then, you will not be able to get
the place. It will be offered to someone else, and you must apply again to another university. You don't have

VI. 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 questions.
MANAGING TIME
Time management: two words that have me breaking out in a cold sweat. Why should I suddenly
have to learn how to manage my time? Surely time had got on perfectly well for several millennia without
requiring management, let alone by me. But my university tutor was adamant: time needed some managing
and apparently it was up to me to do it.
First of all, let's be clear. I do have plenty of time to manage. As an arts student, I generally have 23
hours in the day that aren't given over to going to lectures. But I generally need somebody to tell me what I
should be writing, so I go to lectures.
Perhaps I had "taken on too much"? I'd been elected to four committees, produced a play, applied for
a part time job, hung around the college bar with my friends, and written the odd essay. But I thought I was
coping well. Sure, there was the day when I did the research for an essay on the morning of deadline day
and wrote it that afternoon, but that was a one off.
On second thoughts, maybe my tutor is right. It's difficult to give up what you're involved in but
perhaps it's a good idea to sit back and have a breather once in a while. Even an art student has to get down
to some real work!
1. What was the writer's initial reaction to his tutor's ultimatum?
A. He had to admit that it was sound advice.
B. He failed to see how it could help him.
C. He had no understanding of what it meant.
D. He had tried it before so he knew it would fail.
2. What is the writer's job?
A. He's a time manager. B. He's a lecturer. C. He's an arts student. D. He's a university tutor.
3. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as something he had done?
A. Producing a play. B. Getting a part time job.
C. Writing an essay. D. Head of four committees.
4. The writer slowly begins to realize that he should ____.
A. spend more time with his friends. B. end his obsession with leisure pursuit.
C. integrate more into university life. D. apply himself to the real task in hand.
5. The word "breather" in the passage mostly means ____.
A. an assignment B. a machine C. a rest D. a passion

6. Read the passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions.
There is very little documentation about the origins of water polo. It is known, however, that the
sport originated in the rivers and lakes of mid-19th century England as an aquatic version of rugby. Early
games used an inflated rubber ball that came from India known as a "pulu" (the single Indian word for all
"balls"). Pronounced "polo" by the English, both the game and the ball became known as "water polo." To
attract more spectators to swimming exhibitions, the London Swimming Association designed a set of water
polo rules for indoor swimming pools in 1870. At first, players scored by planting the ball on the end of the
pool with both hands. A favorite trick of the players was to place the five-to-nine inch rubber ball inside
their swimming suit and dive under the murky water, they would then appear again as close to the goal as
possible. The introduction of the rules by Scottish players changed the nature of water polo. It became a
game that emphasized swimming, speed and passing. Scottish rules moved from a rugby variant to a soccer
style of play. Goals became a cage of 10x 3 feet and a goal could be scored by being thrown. Players could
only be tackled when they "held" the ball and the ball could no longer be taken under water. The small
rubber ball was replaced by a leather soccer ball. If the player came up too near the goal, he was promptly
jumped on by the goalie, who was permitted to stand on the pool deck. Games were often nothing more than
gang fights in the water as players ignored the ball, preferring underwater wrestling matches that usually
ended with one man floating to the surface unconscious. Water polo was first played in the USA in 1888.
The game featured the old rugby style of play which resembled American football in the water. "American
style" water polo became very popular and by the late 1890's was played in such venues as Madison Square
Garden and Boston's Mechanics Hall, attracting 14,000 spectators to national championship games.
