5. people $1,500 each person for a dinner with a small glass of the wine. It was worth 10 times
6. more than the cost of the wine in publicity for his restaurant. Was it worth the money? Well, it is

III. READING: (4ms)
1. Read the following passage carefully, then decide whether each sentence is True (T) or
False (F) or information not given (NI): (1m)
Fortunately there are still a few tasty things for us gourmands to enjoy in relative
security. Their numbers, however, are depleted almost daily, it seems, by ruthless
proclamations from the ever-vigilant Food and Drug Administration and its allies, our doctors.
The latest felon to face prosecution is the salt of life, sodium chloride.
Ostensibly, overuse of salt causes high blood pressure and hypertension, the cause of
half the deaths in the United States every year. A few years ago the anti-salt campaigners
raised such a rumpus that salt was banned from baby food. Currently pressure is being
applied to food manufacturers to oblige them to label their products to show sodium content.
Because doing so would cost mercenary manufacturers money, they argue that they have no
idea how much salt remains on such things as potato chips and how much sticks to the bag.
Furthermore, salt isn’t the only harmful ingredient in food. If the manufacture has to provide
sodium content, why not require him to list every ingredient and specify which are
detrimental to our health? Cigarettes have a warning printed on them. Shouldn’t the same
type of warning appear on canned foods that are notoriously over salted?
There are endless ifs and buts in the controversy, but the most telling of these is the
questionable proof of salt’s diabolic effect upon the blood pressure. True, people who cut
their salt intake lowered their blood pressure, but where is the scientific proof that something
other than salt didn’t do the trick? The most common means of providing dubious proof that
salt causes hypertension is to compare societies that use little salt with those that use
mountains of salt in their daily diets. Which group has the higher rate of hypertension? Whose
blood pressure is lower? What happens when salt is introduced into a group where salt is a
novelty? Does the blood pressure rise significantly? Studies of the Japanese indicate that as
the world’s greatest salters, they suffer the most from hypertension. On the other hand, the
simple, salt-free cuisine of several tribes in the Solomon Islands has kept older tribesmen and
women from developing hypertension and high blood pressure, ailments traditionally killing
their peers in America. No account is taken of the effects of inflation, recession, pollution,

crime, and sundry other ills to which Americans, unlike people on primitive islands, are
exposed.
To salt or not to salt? That is the question. Now that the question has arisen, it must
not be treated with levity but, rather, with searching scientific investigation so that those of
us who are preoccupied with body savory food and longevity may decide which of the two
is worth its salt.
TRUE FALSE NI
1. The attitude of the author of this passage toward the salt
controversy is that we most stop eating salt immediately.
2. The author’s approach to the topic is humorous.
3. Presumably a gourmand is a person.
4. Food manufacturers don’t want to label packages with sodium
content because it isn’t important to single out salt.
5. At present baby food contains salt.
6. Canned goods should have the same type of warning as
cigarettes because both are harmful to our health.
7. Comparing societies is a scientific means of determining the
dangers of salt consumption.
8. According to the passage, the Japanese use a lot of salt.
9. People in societies that use little salt never have high blood
pressure.
10. The author suggests that Americans suffer from hypertension as
a result of ailments.

3. Read the passage carefully and choose the best answer to each of the questions. (1m)
My lawyer, Mr. Turner, is the only man I know who has seen a ghost. He is a quite even-tempered
man whose life is spent I dealing with facts. He is the last person in the world to give away to fantasy.
He has a wife and two children of whom he is proud, takes a modest holiday abroad every year and
spends his Sundays gardening. He is knowledgeable about art and architecture, though he doesn’t
pretend to be an expert by any means. It is, therefore, all the more surprising that he should be so
insistent about the ghost. It happened, so he says, like this:
He was traveling from London to the North of England by train. It was a misty November evening
and the train was half empty. In fact, for the first part of the journey Mr. Turner had the carriage to
himself and sat dozing over a newspaper. However, at the first stop a passenger jumped in, slamming
the door behind him. He seemed out of breath as if he had been running. He was a striking looking
young man with dark, bushy hair and bright intelligent eyes. He was dressed rather oddly in a long
waistcoat with silver buttons, tight trousers and an embroidered waistcoat. Mr. Turner did not pay
much attention to this because people wear all sorts of extravagant clothes these days and he had long
grown accustomed to them.
Presently, the two men got into conversation, as people do on long journeys. Mr. Turner was
interested to discover that the young man was very knowledgeable about art – in particular portraits.
His name, he said, was Joseph Hart, and he was on his way to visit an exhibition. It seemed that he
worked in a famous London Art Gallery – a picture restorer, perhaps, thought Mr. Turner, he
seemed to know a great deal about varnishes and paints, and even more about the subjects of certain
portraits. When Mr. Turner asked his opinion of the portrait of a famous judge by an artist he
admired, his companion laughed and said: “He’s only a reproduction – a good one I agree but you
can’t talk to a reproduction.” He spoke a though the person in the portrait were still living.
After a while the carriage got hot and steamy and Mr. Turner dropped off. He woke up just as the
train was drawing up at a junction with a grinding of brakes. His companion had disappeared.
A few days later, having returned to London, Mr. Turner found himself near the Art Gallery.
Moved by some impulse, he went in and inquired for Joseph Hart. The attendant directed him to a
room devoted to early nineteenth century portraits of well-known men. There was no one in the room
and Mr. Turner looked around him. Without knowing quite how he had got there, he found himself
standing in front of a full-length portrait of a young dark man in tight trousers and embroidered
waistcoat. The eyes smiled at him with a hint of amusement. The name-plate at the foot of the picture
read: Joseph Hart, Gentleman, 1800-1835.
1. What kind of person was Mr. Turner?
A. Imaginative B. Fantastic
C. Sensible D. Insensitive
