Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
Accidents do not occur at random. People eighty-five years of age and older are twenty-two times likely to die accidentally than are children five to nine years old. The risk for native Americans is four times that for Asian-Americans and twice that for white Americans or African-Americans. Males suffer accidents at more than twice the rate of females, in part because they are more prone to risky behavior. Alaskans are more than three times as likely as Rhode Islanders to die in an accident. Texans are twenty-one times more likely than New Jerseyites to die in a natural disaster. Among the one hundred most populous counties, Kern County, California (Bakersfield), has an accident fatality rate three times greater than Summit County, Ohio (Akron).
Accidents happens more often to poor people. Those living in poverty receive inferior medical care, are more apt to reside in houses with faulty heating and electrical systems, drive older cars with fewer safety features, and are less likely to use safety belts. People in rural areas have more accidents than city or suburban dwellers because farming is much riskier than working in a factory or office and because emergency medical services are less readily available. These two factors – low income and rural residence – may explain why the south has a higher accident rate than the north.

The following passage contains 10 mistakes. Find and correct them
In 2001, the British Association for the Advancement of Science went on search of the world’s funniest joke. The experiment involved people from all over the world posted their jokes on to a website and rating the submissions of their. Among the jokes entered was the following: ‘There were two cows in a field. One said ‘Moo.’ The other one said ‘I was going to say that.’ The joke was then entered into the archive several times, using different animals and noises. Two tigers said ‘Grr,’ two dogs said ‘Woof’ and so on. You would imagine that one animal and noise would be much the same like another. However, the joke rated the funniest was: ‘Two ducks were sitting on a pond. One of the duck said ‘Quack.’ The other duck said, ‘I was going to say that.’ The research supported the wide held theory that some words and sounds are distinctly funnier than others. The ‘k’ sound (or the ‘hard c’) as heard in ‘quack’ and ‘duck’ have always been regarded in the comedy world as specially funny. Why? It may be down to a rather odd facial phenomenon known for ‘facial feedback’. When people feel happy they smile but some evidence suggests that the mechanism also works in reverse. The hard letter ‘k’ often forces the face to smile, which may explain why the sound is associated with happiness.
One of the duck said ‘Quack.’ The other duck said, ‘I was going to say that.’
A.duck
B.said
