(40 minutes)
Part A
Directions:
Read the following three texts. Answer the questions on each text by
choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on your ANSWER SHEET.
Text 1
Nisaburo and Hiroko Ohata are unlike most Japanese couples their age.
Sure, Hiroko,58, is worried about her husband' s high blood pressure, while
Nisaburo,60, promises his wife that if she loses 18 pounds they' 11 take a trip
abroad. What makes the Ohatas different is how they met, through a
matchmaking organization for single seniors. " On the second date, he asked
if I wanted to meet his family," says Hiroko. "I took that as a proposal. " A little
rushed, perhaps, but 17years after his wife' s death, Nisaburo knew he' d
found a new wife. The couple just celebrated four years of marital happiness
last month.
In the past, people like Nisaburo and Hiroko might have chosen to live out
their lives alone. But as Japan' s society ages, attitudes about love and
remarriage late in life are changing. In 2006,according to government data,
three times more men and nearly five times more women in their 60sand 70s
married for at least the second time, compared with 20 years before.
Granted, change is slow. For this silver-haired population, the concept of
"dating" is still masked by the term ocha nomi tomodachi (friends having tea
together). And older people often need help meeting prospective mates. That'
s where specialized matchmaking services such as Ai Senior--" Love Senior"-come in. When Shunichi lkeda started the online service three years ago, he
was surprised by how many visits he was getting from people in their 60s.
Ikeda says that his clients have an "American perspective" about the
dating scene. And their children are often very supportive, sometimes being
the ones to register parents. "More older people are realizing that life is
supposed to be enjoyable--not lonely," says Ikeda. About 17% of the
matchmaking clients in Japan are over 50 years old, according to Ai Senior,
and seniors' market share has more than doubled over the past three years.
"For older, single men, even doing laundry or cooking is difficult," says
Ikeda. "They want to live with a woman. Likewise, it can be boring for women
living alone. They want to provide for someone. "
46. According to the writer, the Ohatas are different from most senior
Japanese couples in that______
[A] they remarried with the help of an agency[B] they decided to marry on
the second date[C] the husband suffers from a health problem[D] the wife is
concerned about losing weight
47. As is implied in the text, Nisaburo' s proposal on the second date
might be considered______
[A] typical of single seniors [B] irresponsible to his family
[C] a surprise to the woman [D] a decision made in haste
48. In Japan, the change in attitudes about remarriage results from an
increase in [A] its population [B] single women______
[C] senior people [D] the divorced
49. According to Ai Senior, the matchmaking clients in Japan______
[A] admire the American lifestyle [B] are mostly under 50 years of age
[C] share a vague term for "dating" [D] doubled over the past three years
50. According to Ikeda, more single seniors remarry in order to______
[A] live a longer life [B] solve financial problems
[ C ] make their life enjoyable [ D ] support their children together

When you become a parent, much of your focus shifts from your own
future to your kids' future. But one of the most effective ways to help your
children learn to dream big is to ensure that your own dreams don' t get
pushed aside by everyday demands.
Our everyday experiences provide learning opportunities. When you tap
into them, you create a lifelong learning habit that will always keep you
growing. Even your most disappointing experiences can be turned into
breakthroughs.
Every dream begins in the imagination. Take a few minutes to sit down
with a notebook and think about where you would like to be in 20 years. Write
down details about all aspects of your ideal life. Feel free to imagine. Don' t
worry about whether you know how to get there now—you have 20 years to
figure that out. You can also start by picking a year in the future and making a
collection of things you' d like in your life by then. Check in on it from time to
time to see where you've made progress.
We're often encouraged to work on our weaknesses, but working on your
strengths is easier and creates better results. For help of identifying them, ask
some friends, or colleagues to write down what they most appreciate about
you. They' ll enjoy doing this, and you' 11 feel great when you read the
responses. Once you know your strengths, you can put them to work to help
you achieve your dreams.
Confidence is the foundation for all your other abilities. "Progress, not
perfection" is a great saying to keep your confidence high. Every night, write
down five achievements that happened that day. Big or small, it doesn' t
matter. If proper, add ideas for further progress and actions you can take to
get started.
Find ways to add what you love to do to your life now. This will give you
more energy and keep you connected with your bigger dreams. Making a list
of old hobbies is a great way to restore your old passions. Things you' re
enthusiastic about come with their own store of energy. Connecting with them
can give you a push when you most need it.
51. In order to help your children to dream big you must______
[ A] fulfill everyday tasks [ B ] build your own career
[C] keep your own dreams [ D] make them look ahead
52. The writer suggests that, to begin your big dream, you should______
[A] stretch your imagination [ B ] have a best-laid plan for 20 years
[ C ] recollect all your likes and dislikes [D] engage yourself in lifelong
learning
53. According to the writer, to achieve our dreams, we should______
[ A] work on our strengths [ B ] develop our creativity
[ C ] identify our weaknesses [ D ] seek advice from friends
54. To keep high confidence, it is important for one to______
[ A ] take appropriate actions [ B ] notice his daily progress
[ C ] try his best in everything [ D ] form new ideas every day
55. The writer thinks that one can hold fast to his dream by______
[ A ] listing the details of his ideal life [B] improving some of his old
