Section A : (Reading and Comprehension)
 
A.1. Read the passage carefully and answer the questions that follow :
Most of us have a sweet tooth and a favorite form of confectionery is chocolate, whether this comes in the form of sweets, chocolate bars or cakes. The huge range of chocolate products on display in sweet shops and supermarkets show us how popular chocolate is.
Indeed, some of us are so fond of it that we become chocoholics.
We are regularly told that a diet containing too much sugar and too much fat is bad for us, and chocolate contains a great deal of both of these. Thus, we have got used to the idea that eating chocolate is a sinful pleasure.
Eating chocolate often makes us feel good. Even some health experts do not deny this, because it is thought to have a biochemical effect on the part of the brain that is concerned with pleasure. If you are feeling depressed eating chocolate can be a real tonic which cheers you up instantly. Unfortunately this effect is transitory and you soon feel down again.
Nutritionists have tended to concentrate on the negative side effects of chocolate, pointing out that the combination of a high fat content and a high sugar content can be a cause of obesity in people who overindulge in it. They also rem.ind us that food which are high in fat can lead to heart disease. Chocolate is also said to cause headaches in some people, and is considered to be one of the main triggers of migraine.
After such news from dieticians, people who love to binge on chocolate will be relieved to hear that some doctors have now discovered some benefits in chocolates. Recent research suggest that chocolate, like aspirin, can delay blood clotting, making it potentially useful in preventing thrombosis. It has also been found that chocolate, like fruit and vegetable is rich in flavonoid, which help to prevent heartattacks and strokes.
At last there is some good news for chocolate eaters ! They can enjoy this delicious treat without feeling guilty, safe in the knowledge that it could be improving their health.

A.2. Read the poem carefully and answer the questions that follow :
 
My parents kept me from children who were rough,
and who threw words like stones and who wore torn clothes,
their thighs showed through rags. They ran in the streets,
and climbed cliffs and stripped by the country streams,
.- I feared more then tigers their muscles like iron,
and their jerkings hands and their knees tight on my arms.
I feared the salt coarse pointing of those boys,
Who copied my lisp behind me on the road,
they were lithe they sprang out behind hedges,
like dogs to bark at our world. They threw mud,
and I looked another way, pretending to smile,
I longed to forgive them yet they never smiled.
