         Many people say that examinations should be abolished because they are not the best measure of student’s capabilities. These people believe that students can study on their own and do better without the nagging worry and pressure exerted by examinations.     Yet, there are persuasive reasons to show that examinations should not be abolished. It is insufficient that teachers assign homework and correct it. Because this is not done under supervision, they cannot be sure that it is really the work of the students themselves. Moreover, homework is not a test of student’s ability. Homework is a method of merely keeping him occupied.     Nowadays, in the hunt for jobs, students need to produce some evidence of their capabilities. Prospective employers like to see copies of examination results. This is the only way a student’s qualifications can be judged. This attitude greatly encourages the use of examinations, since it is considered it necessary for them to measure their capabilities.Why do some people disagree to abolish the examination?

           Living in a big city has both advantages and disadvantages. On the plus side, it is often easier to find work, and there is usually a choice of public transport, so you don’t need to own a car. Also, there are a lot of interesting to do and places to see.       For example, you can eat in good restaurants, visit the museums, and go to the theater and to concerts. What is more, when you want to relax, you can usually find a park where you can feed the ducks or just sit on a park bench and read a book. All in all, city life is full of bustle and variety and you need never feel bored.       However, for every plus there is a minus. For one thing, you might have a job, but unless it is very well paid, you will not be able to afford many of the things that there are to do, because living in a big city is often very expensive.       It is particularly difficult to find good, cheap accommodation. What is more, public transport is sometimes crowded and dirty, particularly in the rush hour, and even the parks can become very crowded, especially on Sundays when it seems that every city dweller is looking for some open space and green grass. Last of all, despite all the crowds, it is still possible to feel very lonely in a city.       In conclusion, I think that city life can be particularly appealing to young people, who like the excitement of the city and don’t mind the noise and pollution. However, many people, when they get older, and particularly when they have young children, often prefer the peace and fresh air of the countryside. What is the suitable title of the text above? - ProProfs

    • Food

    • Water

    • Nutrient

    • Education

    Correct Answer
    A. Entertainment
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "entertainment". In the given context, the word "famine" is used to describe a situation where there is a severe lack of food. This suggests that the word "famine" refers to a lack of sustenance or nourishment, which aligns with the meaning of "food" rather than the other options. The sentence implies that television informs viewers about various issues, including famines, which are a form of entertainment or news rather than education, water, nutrient, or entertainment.

    • Male superiority in automobile driving

    Correct Answer
    A. A comparison between men and women drivers
    Explanation
    The text discusses the belief of male chauvinism in male superiority in automobile driving and how men consider women drivers to be incompetent and dangerous. However, statistics prove that women are actually safer drivers than men, as evidenced by lower insurance rates for women and a higher percentage of accidents caused by male drivers. The text also suggests that women's safer driving habits may be attributed to their attitude towards automobiles as a convenience, while men view them as an extension of their egos. Therefore, the correct answer is a comparison between men and women drivers.

    • Its radioactivity lasts long

    • Uranium is renewable

    • It is reliable

    • It is cheap

    • It is safe

    Correct Answer
    A. Its radioactivity lasts long
    Explanation
    Nuclear power is very dangerous because its radioactivity lasts long. This means that the waste produced by nuclear power plants remains radioactive for thousands of years, posing a significant risk to human health and the environment. The long-lasting radioactivity requires the waste to be sealed up and buried for many years to allow it to decay. If not properly managed, nuclear accidents can occur, leading to major disasters. Therefore, the long-lasting radioactivity of nuclear power makes it a dangerous source of energy.

The first large-scale nuclear power station was opened at Calder Hall in Cumbria, England, in 1956.        Some military ships and submarines have nuclear power plant for engines. Nuclear power produces around 11% of the world’s energy needed, and produces huge amounts of energy. It causes no pollution as you’d get when burning fossil fuels.The advantages of nuclear are as follows:1. It costs about the same as coal, so it’s not expensive to make2. It doesn’t produce smoke or carbon dioxide,so it doesn’t contribute to the greenhouse effect.3. It produces huge amounts of energy from small amount of uranium.4. It produces small amounts of waste.5. It is reliable        On the other hand, nuclear power is very, very dangerous. It must be sealed up and buried for many years to allow the radioactivity to die away. Furthermore, although it is reliable, a lot of money has to be spent on safety because if it does go wrong, a nuclear accident can be a major disaster.        People are increasingly concerned about this. In the 1990’s nuclear power was the fastest growing source of power in many parts of the world. In 2005, it was the 2nd slowest-growing.Which statement is TRUE about nuclear?

    • It is reliable

    • It is costly to make

    • It causes air pollution

    • It affects the greenhouse

    • It produces small amounts of energy

    Correct Answer
    A. It is reliable
    Explanation
    Nuclear power is described as reliable in the passage because it consistently produces a large amount of energy. The passage states that nuclear power is a reliable source of energy, but also mentions that a significant amount of money must be spent on safety measures due to the potential for major disasters if something goes wrong. Therefore, while it is reliable in terms of energy production, it also requires careful management to ensure safety.
