31 32 Passage 2 A secret Santa who has donated more than 81 million won since 2000 has come to the same South Korean town again this year, a report said yesterday. Staff at a residents centre in the southwestern city of Jeonju on Tuesday found a box containing 20 million won (516,616 baht) in a parking lot after a phone tip-off 5 from the anonymous benefactor, the Korea Times said. It said the man has left donations 10 times since 2000, not always at Christmas, but has never been spotted. 46. The best headline for this news article would be. 1. Secret Santa returns 2. Box containing money million won donated 4. Money found in a parking lot 47. The man who donated the money must be by people in this South Korean town. 1. looked up to 2. looked into 3. looked over 4. looked down on 48.

But you would have to eat pounds of 5 broccoli to get enough SGS to be effective. Continued food research by John Hop-

33 34 kins University, Baltimore, and the USDA, however, found that three-day-old broccoli seedlings contain a concentrated amount of SGS times the amount found in broccoli -- so only an ounce provides the same benefits. Sold as BroccoSprouts, the seedlings are grown under controlled conditions to ensure SGS content, and can be 10 used on salads, sandwiches and omelets for a zingy taste. They have been patented by John Hopkins University, and 19 growers nationwide are licensed to grow them. BroccoSprouts are available in select grocery and health food stores nationwide. 52. The best heading for this passage is. 1. Baby broccoli may fight cancer 2. Broccoli is found useful 3. SGS is important for the body 4. Cancer cells can be killed 53.

Natural Health 3. Health Medicine 4. Natural Safety Systems 57.

BroccoSprouts can be bought at. 1. any grocery or supermarket 2. certain groceries and health food stores 3. nineteen groceries nationwide 4. John Hopkins University 59.

35 According to the passage, the SGS in an ounce of young broccoli seedlings. 1. is sufficient for the body s needs 2. equals that in 20 ounces of broccoli 3. is enough to give a zingy taste 4. is useful if concentrated Passage 4 Sometimes just saving in general is not enough incentive to keep families on the budget track. You need a goal to get started. To use a diet analogy, it s easier to lose 10 pounds when your high school reunion is around the corner. A goal not only gives a family something to reach for, it makes a savings plan short term. 5 Knowing you don t have to give something up forever makes the sacrifice easier. Once you ve reached your goal, you can abandon your strategy or apply those savings to a new object. That approach worked for Cynthia McIntyre, who launched a search for extra savings after she spotted an antique table that fit perfectly in her living room -- but 10 not in her budget. McIntyre went over her checkbook carefully and realized she was buying 10 books every month. A lifelong reader, she couldn t wait to rush out and snap up a new release. It was a $400-a-year habit, she says. The worst part was, many of the books didn t live up to the reviews and McIntyre gave them away. Now she 15 gets the latest bestsellers from the local library. Reading them a little later doesn t spoil the story, she concludes.

36 The word incentive (line 1) means. 1. power 2. strength 3. motivation 4. willingness 62. The phrase around the corner (line 3) as used in this passage means. 1. nearby 2. at a distance 3. coming soon 4. not long lasting 63. According to the passage, in order to save money effectively, one should. 1. give up all expenses 2. cut the family budget 3. have a definite objective 4. change one s lifestyle 64. The writer compares the intention to save money with. 1. a school reunion 2. buying and antique 3. short-term planning 4. losing weight 65. The advantage of having a definite time limit is that you. 1. have more willpower to achieve your goal 2. can give up after a certain time has passed 3. will get what you want more easily 4. do not have to give up your intention

37 The phrase That approach (line 8) refers to. 1. setting a new objective 2. reapplying the strategy 3. searching for extra savings 4. working toward a goal 67. Cynthia McIntyre was trying to save up money for. 1. hardcover books 2. the latest best sellers 3. an antique table 4. a kitchen gadget 68. It can be inferred from the passage that Cynthia McIntyre is a. 1. bookworm 2. great shopper 3. librarian 4. book reviewer 69. Cynthia achieved her goal because she. 1. no longer gave away books 2. gave up her reading habit 3. seldom visited the local library 4. temporarily stopped buying novels 70. The purpose of the passage is to. 1. suggest a way to achieve a goal 2. promote the value of money 3. support a search for savings 4. discourage unnecessary spending
