  Part VI Reading Comprehension

  Directions: There are 4 reading passages in the part. Each passage is followed by five questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best answer and mark it on the Answer Sheet.

  Passage One

  From the very beginning, rivers have played an important part in the life of man. Man of the earli­est times used the rivers as a means of travel. Today rivers still serve as a great waterway for the trans­port and people.

  In ancient times, man settled near rivers or on river banks and built up large empires.

  Water is Nature's most precious gift to man. Man needs water to irrigate his crops, to cook and to wash. In nations all over the world, rivers mean life and wealth. They feed and clothe the nations around them.

  Water is also a source of energy and power. Man constructs huge dams across the river to control the water for irrigation and get the energy needed to drive generators. The electrical power is then di­rected to homes, cities, factories and television stations.

  Man uses water each day. His main source of water comes from reservoirs, which in turn get their water from rivers.

  Rivers also bring down soil and minerals from mountains and deposit them on the plains building up rich river deltas for raising plants and crops. Fresh water life in rivers or in lakes fed by them pro­vide man with food.

  In a small way, rivers help to keep man in good health and provide for his amusements. Various forms of water sports keep man strong and healthy.

  Rivers have run on this earth long before man. Man's future ability to live is uncertain, but rivers will flow on forever.

  Passage Two

  Americans spend a lot of money in their daily lives. Working people spend money on transporta­tion to and from work and on various expenses throughout the day. Americans enjoy shopping and buy many things that they need and want. They spend a lot of money on entertainment. They buy sports equipment, to do sporting events and do many things that cost money. However, many Americans don't pay cash or write checks for these things. More and more, they pay for things with credit cards.

  Credit cards are small, rectangular plastic cards. Banks give these cards to their customers. When the customer buys something at a store, he shows his card at the store. This authorizes the store to charge the bank account for the customer's purchase. The bank collects all the charges for each customer. Then once a month, the bank requires the customer to pay all the charges for that month. The bank does not force the customer to pay the full amount. It asks the customer to pay for the charges in several payments over a period of time. However, the bank requires the customer to pay interest on the unpaid of the charges.

  In this way, the bank allows customers to buy things they cannot afford at one time. People can use the card to buy what they want and pay for it over a period of time. They also do not need to carry a lot of money.
