Reading ComprehensionPassage 1 The cocktail party is a curious American event. Millions of people follow this ritual every year, yet many complain about how awful or frightening it can be. For some, the cocktail party is a pleasant way of getting together with friends for a social evening of drinks, food and conversation. For others, it means spending time with strangers, talking about dull subjects, and viewing behavior that is often distasteful. At some point in the evening, one or more of the guests usually drinks too much and reaches the state of intoxication. Some people say or do things that may regret later. Most guests do not reach this stage. They simply loosen up, laugh, and become instant friends. Toward the end of the party, guests begin to leave, some with pleasant memories, and other with the beginnings of the headache that will soon become tomorrows hangover. Each drifts homeward knowing that next week it will be someone elses turn to host a cocktail party.Passage 2 You dont have to be a VIP (very important person) to enter the White House and perhaps see the President. Five of the 132 rooms are open to the public. George Washington died before its completion and remains the only president not to have lived in the White House. His successor, John Adams, moved in with his wife in November 1800. Thomas Jefferson, the third president, joked that the Presidents House was big enough for two emperors, one Pope and the Grand Lama. The British burned the White House in 1814 but an unusual thunderstorm put out the flames and saved the shell of sandstone walls. Gas lightening was installed in 1848, the first elevator in 1882 and electricity in 1890. The presidents famous oval office was built in 1909. In 1948, the floors shook in President Trumans second floor study and the ceiling plaster sank in the East Room. After the building was strengthened with concrete foundations and steel supports, the consulting engineer declared, The outer walls, which have stood for more than a century, will endure for centuries more.Passage 3 Directions: Read the following letter.

For example, in a school where sixteen credit hours are required for high school graduation, four should be in mathematics, one each in chemistry, biology, and physics. The remaining credits should include four in English and at least three in the humanities and social sciences. The average entering freshman in engineering should have achieved at least a 2.5 grade point average on a 4.0 scale in his or her high school. Although deficiencies can be corrected during the first year, the student who needs additional work should expect to spend five instead of four years completing a degree.Passage 5 Canadians and Americans usually tip in places like restaurants, airports, hotels, and hair salons because many people who work in these places get low salaries. A tip shows that the customer is pleased with the service. At airports, porters usually get a dollar tip for each bag. Hotel bellhops usually get a dollar for carrying one or two suitcases. A hotel door attendant or parking valet also gets about a dollar for getting a taxi or for parking a car. Many people also tip hotel room attendants, especially when they stay in a hotel for several days. They usually leave a dollar for each day. The usual tip for other kinds of services for example, for taxi drivers, barbers, hairdressers, waiters, and waitresses in between 10 and 20 percent of the bill. The size of the tip depends on how pleased the customer is. In most restaurants, the check does not include a service charge. If the group is large, however, there may be an added service charge. There is no tipping in cafeterias or fast-food restaurants.Passage 6Dear Sirs, I noted with interest your advertisement in todays newspaper regarding a vacancy in your agency.
