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 following questions. Ever since 1932, Black Friday has signaled the beginning of the Christmas shopping season in the United States. This shopping extravaganza follows Thanksgiving, on the fourth Thursday of November, and comes just before ‘Cyber Monday’. Use of the name ‘Black Friday’ was first recorded as coming from Philadelphia, where it was used to describe heavy, disruptive vehicle and pedestrian traffic the day after Thanksgiving. Apparently, loads of people would go into town on the Friday after Turkey Day, before the yearly Army/Navy football game on Saturday; stores would take advantage of all the extra business by promoting big sales. As ‘Black Friday’ became more popular in the early eighties, one “explanation” for the event became that this day represented the point in the year when retailers begin to make a profit, going from being "in the red" (meaning to be in debt) to "in the black" (meaning to be free of debt). Black Friday is not an official holiday in the United States, but in some states government employees are given the day off. Schools and non-retail employees are normally given Thanksgiving Thursday and Black Friday as public holidays. Most major retailers offer promotional sales with big discounts, and it has been the busiest shopping day every year since 2005. In 2014, sales revenues for Black Friday reached a whopping $11.6 billion, falling slightly to $10.4 in 2015. In 2013, overall spending from Thanksgiving Thursday up to Cyber Monday topped $56 billion! Question 39: What is the main idea of this passage? A. The origin of Black Friday. B. Black Friday is a public holiday. C. Black Friday signals the start of the Easter season. D. Black Friday comes before Thanksgiving. Question 40: What does the word “retailers” most closely mean? A. A person, shop, or business that sells goods to the public B. A person, shop, or business that sells goods to the big company only C. A person, shop, or business that sells many kinds of goods D.

Philadelphia Question 42: Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage ? A. Black Friday is a very busy day. B. They cannot make big profit by promoting big sales C. The term “Black Friday” was first recorded in Philadelphia. D. Black Friday hasn’t been so popular nowadays. Question 43: Which sentence is incorrect? A.

In 2014, sales revenues for Black Friday reached less than $12 billion. D. In 2015, sales revenues for Black Friday fell slightly to $10.4 . 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 following questions. In the US, the number of stay-at-home dads nearly doubled from 1989 to 2012. But many people still find men becoming a full-time caregiver relatively odd. This caused men who make this choice Page 4 of 11
5. to feel like the odd ones out. Even in cultures where fathers are expected to be more involved than in the past, they are still expected to be the breadwinners of the family. The ideal father is expected to be more engaged in his children’s day-to-day lives than in the past, says Brendan Churchill, a senior lecturer in sociology at Australia's University of Melbourne. Even so, “the male breadwinner model lingers. It is reinforced daily in our culture and it also persists in our social policy frameworks, even though there’s been lots of change - our reference point is still that family of four with a male breadwinner.” he says. This cultural belief that fathers should ‘protect and provide’ can plant an insidious narrative in the heads of stay-at-home dads, even those who feel that they’re best suited to contributing to their families in their role as the primary caregiver. The idea of the male breadwinner does harm to men and fathers, because it prevents them from being engaged or involved,” says Churchill. Some fathers have tried to tap into networks of dads, either in their friendship groups or online. But the results have been mixed. In London, Cameron and his wife did a prenatal course with several other couples. After the course finished, the chat group for the mums stayed active. The dads’ group did not. He did stay in touch with one of the fathers, he says, particularly by bonding over something not baby-related: they support the same football team. Despite the challenges, many stay-at-home dads say they wouldn’t want it any other way. Breaking down stereotypes around stay-at-home dads isn’t just good for fathers who in that role. It’s something that can be empowering and liberating for all fathers. (Adapted from Question 44: Which of the following can be the title for the passage? A. Breaking Down Stereotypes: A Story of a Non-working Father B. Fewer Stay-at-home Dads, Fewer Problems? C. The Stigma of The Stay-at-home-dad D.

D. has made considerable modifications to the social policy frameworks Question 47: The word “it” in paragraph 3 refers to ___. A. breadwinnerB. harmC. ideaD. position Question 48: The word “tap into” in paragraph 3 mostly means ___. A. gaining access toB. becoming familiar with C. making use ofD. approving of Question 49: Which of the following is NOT true, according to the passage? A. Men who make up their mind to stop working and stay at home can feel like being isolated. B. Fathers are deterred from being engaged or involved due to the idea of the male breadwinner. C.

Cameron does not like the father he bonded with in the prenatal course he did with his wife. C. Enormous attempts have been made to break down stereotypes around stay-at-home dads. D.
