Ingrid Mcfarlane

Zoo Keeper

When I graduated from high school at eighteen, I got a job at a zoo as a

student keeper. Now, five years later, things have changed – I have passed my
exams and I am fully trained animal keeper. The money is not good. I only get
$15.000 a year. You have to be outside in rain and snow, which is hard work,
and get very dirty. But this doesn’t matter to me because animals are the most
important thing in my life!

There are a hundred monkeys and fifty deer in my part of the zoo and I
give them their food and clean their houses. I also need to watch them
carefully to be sure that they are all well. In fact, rhinos are my favourite
animals and so last year I went to Africa with a colleague for a month to study
them.

The zoo is open every day and I work five different days each week. I
live in a small apartment twenty minutes away and I get up at ten to seven
and start work at eight. The first thing I do when I get home at quarter after
five is take a shower.

A. Take some exams

B. Earn more money

B. She doesn’t mind it

26.If Ingrid doesn’t check the monkeys,

 PART 6

Read the text and choose the correct answer for each question (31- 35).

Imagine if everyone in your street suddenly came out into the road one
day and started singing together. Singing teacher Ruth Black believes it would
make everyone so friendly that they would never walk past each other again
without saying hello.

Singing helps people live in peace together, she says. All over the world
people have always sung together and in most places they still do, but in
England sing is no longer traditional.

Nowadays, says Ruth, people only sing together in churches and football
grounds, although it could be done anywhere. Everyone is able to sing, she
says, but most of us either think we can’t or have forgotten what we learned
as children. However, as with everything musical, you need to practice and the
same applies to your voice. Ruth believes that singing itself brings other
benefits. It encourages good breathing, for example. Through singing, people
often become more confident and also learn to control stress. But more than
anything, it brings people together.

When Ruth first started singing, there was little opportunity to sing with
others. Then, through a friend, she discovered an excellent singing class and
became so keen that she started running her own classes. These are held twice
a month for all singers, whatever their level, and are now enormously
successful.

31.What is the writer trying to do in this article?

A. Explain why singing has become less popular everywhere.

B. Describe a teacher’s ideas about the importance of singing.

C. Advertise a teacher’s singing class.

A. How singing is something anyone can do

A. You learn to breathe more easily.

B. You are able to improve your speaking.

C. You can get to know other people.

D. You become a confident musician.

34.Which is the best advertisement for Ruth’s singing classes?

A. C.
