Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate correct answer to each of the questions.            Scientists know that there were wolves on Earth about one million years ago. Dogs, on the other hand, have not been on Earth nearly as long. The oldest dog remains, found in Germany, are about 14,000 years old. Scientists have proven that dogs are descended from wolves. Though wolves and dogs share some of the same genes, they are not exactly alike. In fact, there are as many differences as there are similarities between the two.            First, there are physical differences between the two. Wolves have longer legs, larger feet, and a broader skull than dogs. They also walk differently from dogs. A wolf runs on its toes with its heels raised up from the ground. This is more similar to a cat's walk than a dog's.            Second, there are mental differences between the two. Dogs have been domesticated. This means that dogs have been brought under the control of humans in order to provide companionship. Wolves have not been domesticated. They are wild animals. Having a dog as a pet is like having a juvenile wolf. A young wolf will turn into a mature adult, while a young dog does not mature. A dog might seem smart by performing tricks for people. Wolves need to be smart to survive in the wild. While it may not be impossible to have a wolf as a pet, scientists are of the opinion that a wolf could never be domesticated in the same way as a dog.            It's important to keep in mind that the differences between the two are great, and each should be appreciated in its own habitat or home.(Source: Paul Edmunds, Nancie McKinnon, Developing skills for TEOFL iBT)

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.            In 16th-century France, the start of the new year was observed on April 1st. It was celebrated much the same way it is today- with parties and dancing into the late hours of the night. Then in 1562, Pope Gregory introduced a new calendar to the Christian world, and the new year fell on January 18. Some people either didn't hear about the new calendar system or didn't believe the change had really been made. These people continued to celebrate New Year's Day on April 1st. They became the target of jokes. People played tricks on them and called them “April's fools." They sent them on a “fool's errand" or tried to make them believe that something false was true.            Today, some Americans continued the tradition by playing tricks on their friends on the first of April. One well-known trick or practical joke is to put salt in the sugar bowl. Something that college students do is to print false headlines in their college newspaper - such as "FREE BEER IN THE LIBRARY". Most April Fool's jokes are in good fun and not meant to harm anyone. The best April Fool's joke is one where everyone laughs, especially the person the joke is played on.

Part 8: Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or Don your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.            Marriage is an ancient religious and legal practice celebrated around the world. However, wedding customs vary from country to country.            The Wedding Dress: In many countries, it is customary for the bride to wear a white dress as a symbol of purity. The tradition of wearing a special white dress only for the wedding ceremony started around 150 years ago. Before that most women could not afford to buy a dress that they wear once. Now, bridal dresses can be bought in a variety of styles.            The Wedding Rings: In many cultures, couples exchange rings, usually made of gold or silver and worn on the third finger of the left or right hand, during the marriage ceremony.            Flowers: Flowers play an important role in most weddings. Roses are said to be the flowers of love, and because they usually bloom in June this has become the most popular month for weddings in many countries. After the wedding ceremony, in many countries the bride throws her bouquet into a crowd of well-wishers - usually her single female friends. The person who catches this bouquet will be the next one to marry.            Gifts: In Chinese cultures, wedding guests give gifts of money to the newly-weds in small red envelopes. Money is also an appropriate gift at Korean and Japanese wedding. In many Western countries, for example in the UK, wedding guests give the bride and groom household items that they may need for their new home. In Russia, rather than receiving gifts, the bride and groom provide gifts to their guests instead.            With the continued internationalization of the modern world, wedding customs that originated in one part of the world are crossing national boundaries and have been incorporated into marriage ceremonies in other countries.
