A. Read the passage carefully, then choose the correct answers. 
 Last year I went to Nepal for three months to work in a hospital. I think it's important to see as much 
of a country as you can, but it is difficult to travel around Nepal. The hospital let me have a few days’ 
holiday, so I decided to go into the jungle and I asked a Nepalese guide, Kamal Rai, to go with me.
 We started preparing for the trip at six in the morning, and left camp with two elephants carrying our 
equipment. It was hot but Kamal made me wear shoes and trousers to protect me from snakes. 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 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!

 a. for holiday b. for treatment c. for business d. on tour
2. When having a few days off, he decided to go into ________.
 a. the remote villages b. the mountains c. the seaside d. the tropical 
forest

deer
4. The tiger ________.
 a. was like a flash of light b. saw them a second before they saw it
 c. jumped out very fast d. jumped out of the grass at about four meters.
B. Your mind's ability to bring back experiences you have had is your memory. There are two kinds of 
remembering, recall and recognition. For instance, you may not be able to recall the poem you read 
yesterday in class, but if you see it again, you will know it instantly because you recognize it.
 Some few people have 'total recall,' often spoken of as photographic memory. A person with total 
recall can recite a whole page of a book he has read only once, or playa musical composition after hearing 
it once. This is very unusual, however, and most people have difficulty in remembering even names they 
heard the day before. This is not because most people lack the ability to remember, but because they had 
not paid much attention to what they heard. They felt no personal reasons to remember. Having a personal 
reason for remembering is one of the most important factors in a good memory. 
 When you have a strong reason for remembering, concentrate as you read or listen, and try to connect 
the new information to things you I already know. A detail is easy to remember when it fits into a whole 
that makes sense. If you understand the entire history lesson before you try to remember any particular 
dates, your memory may surprise you.

E. THANKSGIVING
 Thanksgiving is celebrated in the US on the fourth Thursday in November. For many Americans it is 
the most important holiday apart from Christmas. Schools, offices and most businesses close for 
Thanksgiving, and many people make the whole weekend a vacation.
 Thanksgiving is associated with the time when Europeans first came to North America. In 1620 the 
ship the Mayflowers arrived, bringing about 150 people who today are usually called Pilgrims. They 
arrived at the beginning of a very hard winter and could not find enough to eat, so many of them died. But 
in the following summer Native Americans showed them what foods were safe to eat, so that they could 
save food for the next winter. They held a big celebration to thank God and the Native Americans for the 
fact that they had survived.
 Today people celebrate Thanksgiving to remember these early days.
The most important part of the celebration is a traditional dinner with foods that come from North 
America. The meal includes turkey, sweet potatoes (also called yams) and cranberries, which are made 
into a kind of sauce or jelly. The turkey is filled with stuffing or dressing, and many families have their 
own special recipe. Dessert is pumpkin made into a pie. 
 On Thanksgiving there are special television programs and sports events. In New York there is the 
Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, when a long line of people wearing fancy costumes march through the 
streets with large balloons in- the shape of imaginary characters. Thanksgiving is considered the beginning 
of the Christmas period, and the next day many people go out to shop for Christmas presents.
