school and high school I was a painfully shy child I usually kept to myself had only a few friends and rarely spoke in class My parents were always very busy so they never pushed me to become more involved in activities and meet more people I was perfectly happy by myself I spent much of my time with my nose buried in a book The only times that I ventured away from the comforts of my bedroom were when I explored the seemingly endless aisles of stocked bookshelves at my favourite bookstore In retrospect it was no surprise that I read with such an incredible appetite Reading was my escape My favourite books were adventure and travel stories stories that brought the readers to exotic unexplored or dangerous places These were places I longed to go and they were adventures I yearned to experience but I knew it was all just a fantasy I had a hard time working up the nerve to talk to a fellow classmate I knew there was no way I could travel around the world and live out one of these adventures Therefore I read I read every book I could find that promised adventure excitement or escape By the time I graduated from high school I had probably read more books than our school had in its library It was quite an achievement but no one knew about it except for me I told no one because I had no one to tell My only friend was Justin and that relationship only existed because we had been next door neighbours for fifteen years Like most of my classmates I applied to college and eventually worked up the courage to go It wasn t easy I had lived at home with my parents my whole life and I rarely ever thought about leaving However it had finally become inevitable I couldn t stay with them forever I attended a local college and moved out to live in a dormitory with a roommate It would be an understatement to say that I was nervous I was terrified My roommate s name was Greg and the first few weeks of school were very awkward He kept trying to start conversations and be friendly I was able to answer his questions of course but I found it difficult to keep the conversation going I just wasn t used to it I had no practice at this sort of thing Then one day I returned from an afternoon class and found him reading a Jack London book Suddenly I found that I had a hundred questions to ask Greg Did he like Jack London Which was his favourite book Did he read a lot What other authors did he like The list was endless To my surprise Greg was also in love with adventure and travel books One of his dreams was to travel around the world and follow in the footsteps of some of history s greatest explorers There must have been magic at work that day It was as if my shyness suddenly disappeared Greg and I talked for hours about our favourite books and dreams of travel I also found it easier to talk to other people at school and make friends since that day I felt like the world opened up to me So many things suddenly seemed possible In fact Greg and I are planning a great adventure for this summer It may have taken me a while but I finally found a way to break out of my shell and start enjoying life 41 Which of the following is a rite of passage that helped the

Questions 31 to 40 are based on the following passage When I was a child my best friend Joseph and I would play a game called Super Secret Spy Sometimes I would play the spy and Joseph would play the

time we played the story had to be different We played so much that needless to say some of the stories got quite 33 bizarre Eventually Super Secret Spy was like a science fiction movie the stories took place on other planets and one of us was an alien Sometimes we would wear old Halloween masks so the 34 resemblance to an alien was remarkable I remember one day in particular Joseph was the alien and he captured me on a 35 barren empty planet my backyard He threw me in alien prison behind a big tree and 36 giggled with mischievous delight At first I felt all alone and 37 helpless Then I pulled myself together and remembered that I was the Super Secret Spy I thought of my escape plan When Alien Joseph came to check on me in the alien prison I 38 whirled around quickly and grabbed his alien laser gun In a 39 blink of laser fire I ran past my captor and escaped the alien prison I was free Super Secret Spy had won again Just then Joseph and I both realized that it was late afternoon

carefree days of our youth when we could play all day without worry This is one of the greatest ironies of life Indeed the grass is always greener on the other side It is a harsh truth that humans always want what they can t have It s our nature That s why it s good practice to instill in our children a healthy respect for childhood Too many adults seem to be in a hurry for children to grow up We always ask them What do you want to be when you grow up We repeatedly tell them You can do have that when you re older We continually encourage them When you grow up the world will be yours and you can make your dreams come true It s no wonder then that children seem to be in such a rush to grow up get older and demand everything that we tell them is coming to them Children should be free to play the day away We should encourage them to use their imagination create entire worlds in a cardboard box and explore their backyard as if they were exploring an undiscovered country You cannot put a price on an active and fertile imagination nor can you overestimate the value of an inquisitive mind a respect for the environment and an urge to question why everything is as it is These traits are all developed and nurtured when we re children and without them we would not be able to function as adults in the modern world Research has shown that children are happiest and healthiest when they have the freedom to act like children This may seem obvious but it s often forgotten as parents push their children to study harder practice longer and essentially act like adults It s important to remember that children are constantly learning Therefore they are also learning as they re playing Exploring nature fosters a respect for the environment that may lead children to become biologists or naturalists Creating with paint and crayons instills a love of art that might help develop young artists or musicians Playing make believe stimulates the imagination in a way that writers filmmakers and actors find most useful Building with blocks helps the mind understand how things are constructed and might lead to an interest in engineering It s true that play helps develop skills that will be used later in life However this should not be the sole purpose of play Children should play because they re children It s how they stay happy healthy and young Why should we push them to be something they re not 41 Which of the following sentences is the main idea of this passage A It is a harsh truth that humans always want what they can t have B Too many adults seem to be in a hurry for children to grow up C Children should be free to play the day away D It s true that play helps develop skills that will be used later in life 42 Which of the following would the writer of this passage likely NOT agree with A Adults should understand that children learn while they play B It is important for children to play and act young C Many games help children appreciate potential careers D Children should concentrate on their schoolwork above everything else 43 The grass is always greener on the other side means A other
