A/ READING COMPREHENSION
I. Last year I went to Nepal for 3 months to work in a hospital. When the hospital let me have a few 
days’ holiday, I decided to go into the jungle and I asked a Nepalese guide, Kamal Rai, to go with me . 
In the jungle there was a lot of wildlife, but we were trying to find big cats, especially tigers. We 
climbed onto the elephants’ backs to get better view, but it is unusual to find the tigers in the afternoon 
because they sleep in the heat of the day . Then, in the distance, we saw a tiger, and Kamal told me to 
be very quiet. We crept nearer and found a dead deer, still bleeding. This was the tiger’s lunch! 
Suddenly I started to feel very frightened.
 We heard the tiger a second before we saw it . It jumped out like a flash of lightning, five 
hundred kilos plus and four meters long. I looked into its eyes and face, and saw right down the 
animal’s throat. It grabbed Kamal’s leg between its teeth, but I managed to pull Kamal away. One of 
our elephants ran at the tiger and made it go back into the grass, so we quickly escaped to let the tiger 
eat its lunch. That night it was impossible to sleep!

III/ TELEVISION AND CHILDREN : 
 Television has changed the way people live for thirty years. It influences nearly every aspect of 
modern life: how people use their leisure time, how news is reported, how information is learned, and 
how people think and feel. Children are particular susceptible to the effects of television, because their 
minds are growing and learning much faster than those of adults. However, social scientists, teachers 
and parents are concerned about the impact of television on children. They feel television is one factor 
that causes declining mathematics and reading scores among school children. Because of the excessive 
time spent watching television, children are spending less time reading and thinking independently.
