VIII .Read the following passage and mark the letter A,B,C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
 You can do a few things to make homework less streddful. Firsst, be sure you understand the assignment. Write it down in your notebook or day planner if you need to , and don’t be afraid to ask questions about what is expected. It is much easier to take a minute to ask the teacher during or after class than to struggle to remember later that night! If you want, you can plan your time. 
Second, use any extra time you have in school to wotk on your hoemwork. Many schools have libraries that they are speacifically designed to allow students to study to get homework done. The more work you can get done in school, the less you will have to do that night.
Third, pace yourself. If you don’t finish your homework during school, think about how much you have left and what else is going on that day, and then plan your time. Most middle students should have between 1 and 3 hours of homework a night. If it is a heavy homework day, you will need to devote more time to homework.
No one is expected to understand everything nad maybe you need some help. The first place to turn for help is your teacher. But what if you don’t feel comfortable with your teachers? If you are in a big enough school, there may be other teachers who teach the same subject. Speak to other teachers directly and you may be in luck. Sometimes it just helps to have someone explain something in a different way. Moreover, you might also be able to get some help from another student. If there is someone you like who is a good student, think about asking that person if you can study together.
28. The most important thing that you should do when you get your assignment may be__________
A. to know when you hand it in
B. to understand it and its requirements

Have you ever had a dream about traveling to another planet in our solar system? If you have, there is an actual programme that is happening right now and it hopes to send people to Mars in2023. Known as the Mars One Mission, it will send a crew of four people on a one-way mission to colonize Mars. Those chosen people will have to be ready to say good-bye to the earth forever, as there will not be a return trip.
For the people chosen, they will have to learn to do many different things. First of all, they will be living the rest of their lives with just a handful of the other people, so they all must have personalities that allow them to get along. Second, the living quarters that they will have won’t be very spacious, o they will have to deal with that condition as well. If they feel homesick, they will only be able to communicate with people back on the earth via e-mail and videos and audio sent back and forth. However, there won’t be any real-time communication. Even at the speed of light, communication between the earth and Mars takes about 20 minutes. Whether the Mars One Mission will actually happen is the big question that a lot of people are asking. There is an enomous skepticism in the science community and Wired magazine gave the mission a miserable score of the two out of ten on its probability scale. However, for those who dream to go to Mars, at least they can say there is a possibility that it could happen.
28. How long will it take for a message to come back from Mars?
A.almost immediately
B.about an hour
C.around 20 minutes
D.only a few seconds
29. What will NOT be spacious?

If you are invited to an American friend’s home for dinner, remember these general rules for polite behaviour. First of all, arrive approximately on time but not early. Americans expect promptsness. It will be all right to be 10 or 15 minutes late but not 45 minutes late. Dinner might be over-cooked and ruined by then. When you are invited to someone’s home for a meal, it is polite to bring a small gift. Flowers or candy are always appropriate. If you have an attractive thing made in your native country, your host or hostess will certainly enjoy receiving that gift.
