Passage 1
Nearly a quarter-century after a German boy tossed a message in a bottle off a ship in the Baltic Sea, he’s received an answer. A 13-year-old Russian, Daniil Korotkikh, was walking with his parents on a beach when he saw something glittering lying in the sand. “I saw that bottle and it looked interesting,” Korotkikh told The Associated Press on Tuesday. “It looked like a German beer bottle with a ceramic plug, and there was a message inside.” His father, who knows a little German, translated the letter. I t said: “My name is Frank, and I’m five years old. My dad and I are traveling on a ship to Denmark. If you find this letter, please write back to me, and I will write back to you.” The letter, dated 1987, included an address in the town of Coesfeld. The bo y in the letter, Frank Uesbeck, is now 29. His parents still live at the letter’s address. “At first I didn’t believe it,” Uesbeck told the AP about getting the response from Korotkikh. In fact, he barely remembered the trip at all; his father actually wrote the letter. The Russian boy said he does not believe that the bottle actually spent 24 years in the sea: “It would not have survived in the water all that time,” he said. He believed it had been hidden under the sand where he found it. In the web
chat earlier this month, Uesbeck gave Korotkikh his new address to write to and promised to write back when he received his letter. “He’ll definitely get another letter from me,” the 29-year-old said. Uesbeck was especially thrilled that he was able to have a positive impact on a life of a young person far away from Germany.
16. The message in the bottle was found ________years later. A. 25 B. 24 C. 29 D. 20
17. The letter in the bottle was written in ________. A. Russian B. English C. French D. German
18. The letter in the bottle was actually written by ________. A. Frank B. Korotkikh C. Frank’s father D. Korotkikh’s father
19. Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A. Daniil Korotkikh believed the bottle must have stayed in the sea all the time before he got it.
B. Frank, the German man gave the Russian boy his new address.
C. Frank and Korotkikh have met each other through the web chat.
D. It is likely that Frank and Korotkikh will arrange a meeting in person.
20. That the letter is found and answered so many years later is a(n) _______ to all the people.
A. surprise

Passage 2
Today, many people are starving to death. There is a shortage of food and the available is too expensive for hungry people to buy. Therefore, they go without food, or each day have one or two small meals lacking the necessary vitamins to maintain good health. Recently, a man who
wanted to understand the conditions of such people conducted an experiment. He only ate one meal a day for a month but continued to work as he normally did. During the first five days he was hungry at his regular meal times, but after he had drunk a glass of water his hunger went away. In the evening, when he ate his one meal, he ate quickly and consumed a large amount. During the next few days, although he was not hungry during the day, he quickly noticed every food stall, and the smell of food caught his attention. During the third and fourth weeks, he had hunger pains and lacked physical strength. He looked forward to his one meal and ate it very slowly, enjoying every bite. Without it, he kn
ew he would have hardly enough energy to work. This experience changed his attitude about some things. Having a cup of tea was not just a pastime, it also gave him strength. He more frequently noticed overweight people and people who threw away leftover food. He realized the importance of food for the very hungry person. He could no longer easily pass by a hungry beggar on the street. But most important, he could now sympathize in a small way with the starving people of the world.
21. According to the first paragraph, today the problem with many people is that _________.
A. they don’t eat food
