are several tips you could use when looking for friends online. First, search the Internet for reputable services. Look for reviews of such sites to learn more about other students’ experiences. Don’t join a service until you have done your research. Second, check to see if you can use a nickname, rather than your real name, to protect your identity. Third, never give personal information to anyone, including your home address, phone number, and birthday. Fourth, stop contacting with others if you feel uncomfortable with the topics of the conversation. Again, if you protect your identity, this will be easier to do. Tell your teachers, parents, or even local law enforcement if problems arise. Last but not least, try to use the language you are studying in the classroom in your communications with others. Ask appropriate questions that will also help you learn about other cultures.

Sometimes we have a fight with a friend. You just seem to argue, and then stop talking to each other. Time goes by and you realize that you miss the friendship, and wish you could talk to your friend again. If so, the following tips may be helpful.
Tip one: It’s always better to let the argument simmer a little before confronting the person. If you talk right after the fight, many things are said out of anger.
Tip two: Allowing bad feelings to brew for too long creates a situation that becomes more difficult to make up. So after the fight calms down, make sure you talk to the person before it’s too late.
Tip three: It’s okay to be the first to give in and apologize. The other person probably wants to do it too, but it shows your courage and that you are a dedicated friend. Yet, if you’re constantly in fights and always making up first, then take time to reconsider if this person is really a friend.
Tip four: If the friends are unforgiving then try to look back and see what you could have done. Read past emails, chats and something like that. This will help you understand their point of view.

News Item One
Questions 1 and 2 will be based on the following news item.
Earlier this summer, a young woman in Baltimore, died as a result of taking part in a medical study. The study was designed to learn how people with healthy lungs and people who have the breathing problem, react to particles or substances. The medical researchers at Johns Hopkins University had a number of healthy people breathe into their lungs a drug called hexamethonium. Twenty-four-year-old Ellen Roche was one of the nine people who agreed to take part in the study. She died on June second as a result of the drug. In July, the federal government criticized the

university’s system that is supposed to protect people involved in such studies. An investigation found that the researchers failed to consider information about the possible harmful effects of the drug on the lungs. The people who took part in the study were never told that the drug is not approved for human use, and they were not warned about possible dangers. Questions:
1. What is the news mainly about?
2. Why did the government criticize the university’s system?
News Item Two
Questions 1 and 2 will be based on the following news item.
It’s not unusual in the United States for a new mother to quit her job after giving birth to a child. Sam is only 9 months old, and his mother, Lora, dreaded the thought of going back to work. “I got only six weeks with him, and it is just not enough time. We needed someone to take care of him, but the cost of day care in D.C. is high. I would not be bringing home enough money to cover day-care bills,” she said.
While the U.S. is nowhere close to a federal law that mandates paid maternity leave, some states like New York, New Jersey, California and Rhode Island are addressing the issue.
“If you live in those four states, you would be covered and eligible to have paid leave, but if you live in the rest of the USA, it really just depends on whether or not your employer voluntarily offers those benefits, since we do not have any national programs to provide wage replacement,” said Sarah Jane Glynn from the Center for American Progress. Questions:
1. Why did Lora dread the thought of going back to work?
2. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the news?
News Item Three
Questions 1 to 3 will be based on the following news item.
The government in China plans to end its one-child per family policy and instead let families have two children. The plan was announced Thursday after high-level political meetings in Beijing. The official of Xinhua News Agency says the country’s top legislature must approve the proposal before it becomes law. A Chinese Communist Party statement gave a number of reasons for the change in policy. The statement said the change is meant to balance population development. It said the move also attempts to stop a declining birth rate and strengthen the country’s work force. China—the world’s most populous country—launched the one-child policy in 1980. But the government permitted only a small number of couples to have two children. For example, some rural families were given approval to have two children.
In 2013, the Chinese government gave couples a chance to have two children. Families could have two if one parent was an only child. At the end of 2014, China had a population of 1.37 billion people. A total of 800 million of them are employed. But that job market population is expected to drop by 2050. With the two-child policy, an increase in births will ease the labor shortage, starting in 20 years. Questions:
1. What is the news mainly about?
2. Which of the following is not the reason for the two-child per family policy?
