Part III Reading Comprehension
Task 1
Directions: Read the following passage as fast as you can. Then choose the best answers
to complete the exercises that follow.
A Time to Treasure
Holidays are supposed to be times when families unite and enjoy spending quality time
together. However, the reality can sometimes be a little more complicated. No matter how
much you love your family, spending days on end together can sometimes be a less than
relaxing experience. So how to put the magic back into the holiday season? Read on.
First, plan ahead. The holiday will go more smoothly if it is well-organized. Make a
checklist of tasks, including menu planning, decorations and entertainment. Don’t expect one
person to do everything. In fact, the holiday will be much more fun if responsibilities are shared
equally.
Second, make things easy on yourself. If someone has to spend all their time in the kitchen,
how relaxed are they going to feel? Think about preparing some dishes in advance or consider
pot-luck style meals that everyone has to bring a dish. Not only does this decrease your
workload, it also gets everyone more involved.
Finally, make time for fun. Involve the whole family in activities that will bring them
closer together. You could arrange outdoor games, movie nights or you could even set up a
craft corner.
By following these tips you can turn family celebrations into relaxing and stress-free
events.
1. According to the text, why are holidays sometimes difficult?
A) Because you might not have enough money to enjoy yourself.
B) Because spending a lot of time with family can be stressful.
C) Because it can remind you of sad things that have happened in your life.
D) Because taking time off work can be less than relaxing.
2. What suggestion does the writer make about organizing family time on a holiday?
A) Don’t spend too much time worrying about decorations.
B) Responsibilities should be shared among everyone.
C) Making checklists can add to the stress.
D) One person should do everything.

3. What suggestion does the writer NOT make about preparing food?
A) Everyone should come with a dish.
B) Dishes should be prepared in advance.
C) One person should do all the cooking.
D) Menus should be planned in advance.
4. According to the writer, why are fun activities important?
A) Because they will bring the family closer together.
B) Because they don’t cost any money.
C) Because they will make the time pass more quickly.
D) Because they will stop family members from arguing.
5. What is the main purpose of this text?
A) To show readers how to avoid spending time with their families.
B) To show readers that they can enjoy holidays even without their families.
C) To inspire readers to spend their holidays abroad.
D) To help readers enjoy spending holidays with their families.
