following three passages Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements For each of them there are four choices marked A B C and D Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage A Do you have any skiing equipment you no longer need A ski school in the far north of India could put it to good use In March we published a photo story about the extraordinary Zsnskar region in northern India which is cut off from the outside world for more than seven months of the year and only accessible via a frozen river We also included information about the limited use of skiing in the region and the recent creation of the Zanskar Ski School Despite the difficulties of travelling through the region when the snow comes skiing hasn t traditionally been used as a means of transport by the locals largely because trees don t grow here so there is little in the way of raw materials from which to make skis In 1995 a group of British scientists in the region noticed the lack of skis and one of them returned to set up the Zanskar Ski School in Padam The school provides lessons for a small fee and rents skis to the local people Among the benefits that the school hopes to bring are improved education children often find it difficult to get to school through the deep snow and the possibility of offering ski tours to tourists in the future So far more than 300 local people have received training and local doctors and policemen regularly borrow skis But what we weren t able to include in the article is that the ski school is always on the look out for old skiing equipment particularly of a size suitable for children and I thought Now the European ski season is drawing to a close there might be a few of you out there who have some old equipment you d like to see go to a good home If that s the ease you can get in touch with the school via their website www zanskarski school org 56 What s the purpose in writing the text A To ask people to give away their skis to the school B To attract more tourists to the area C To appeal to more locals to attend the school D To raise money to develop this area 57 The local people don t use skiing to go about because A it is against the local custom B trees are in the way of the skiing route C they don t have the wood to make skisD it is dangerous to go skiing in this region 58 The Zanskar Ski School A has donated money to the local community B makes it easier for the students to attend school C provides special training to the tourists D has borrowed many skis from Europe 59 Who would be the most helpful to the school now A Locals in Zanskar region B Students in the Zanskar Ski School C People having old skiing equipment D Tavellers enjoying skiing 60 What can be the best title for the text A An extraordinary region in India B A popular sport skiing C A good means of transport D A home for old skis 6 B How do you know if your home is an easy aim for thefts Around the holidays many families don t consider taking proper measures to prevent their homes from suffering holiday thefts With just a few simple steps you can better make sure of the safety of your home during all of the holiday celebrations Here are a few tips for making it difficult to tell you are away from home Either have a trusted neighbor pick up your mail and newspapers or tell your

remains on for days at a time it means that nobody is home to turn it off If you have pets that you are not taking with you on vacation leave them with a friend rather than having someone come into your house every day to take care of them When thefts see a neighbor or friend entering your house every day they will know you are not home Close all your curtains when you leave town This is effective to deter possible thefts as no one can see what is in your house If they don t know what is inside then they are less likely to run the risk of breaking in This article just has suggested a
