I was the first of three children, and my younger brother, my sister, and I are close to each other, even though we had a few of the usually childish quarrels as we grew up together. I went through grade school without getting into any trouble, but in high school I began to get very conceited. Then, as a student of Grade Two, I became a member of the 3 school football team. I thought I was good enough to get by without studying, so I spent all my evening at the drugstore watching TV.

Read the passage below and choose the best answer (A, B, C or D) to each question (1 p). I was in a strange city I didn't know at all, and what's more, I could not speak a word of the language. On my second day I got on the first bus that passed, rode on it for several stops, then got off and walked on. The first two hours passed pleasantly enough, and then I decided I had to turn back to my hotel for lunch. After walking about for some time, I decided I had better ask the way. The trouble was that the only word I knew of the language was the name of the street in which I lived, and even that I pronounced badly. I stopped to ask a newspaper-seller. He handed me a paper. I shook my hands. I had to give him some money and went on my way. The next person I asked was a policeman. He listened to me carefully, nodded and gently took me by the arm. There was a strange look in his eyes as he pointed left and right and left again. I nodded politely and began walking in the direction he pointed. About an hour passed and I noticed that the houses were getting fewer and fewer and green fields were appearing on either side of me. I had come all the way into the countryside. The only thing left for me to do was find the nearest railway station. 5 1. The writer preferred to walk back to his hotel because A. he had no money to buy a ticket.
