　　Questions 16~20

　　At the beginning of 1613, about two hundred Polish soldiers arrived at a little Russian village. They lost their way in the thick forest and asked for a man to show them the way to town. But no one wanted to help them.

　　"You will have to go through that forest," said an old man. "The road is on the other side." "Show us the way," cried the enemy officer," or we‘ll kill every one in the village!"

　　"I‘m old," said the old man. "I may be not able to walk so far."

　　But to himself he said, "I‘ll have to show them the way, but if I lead them into the thickest part of the forest, they will die there and I‘ll help to save my country."

　　The old man went in front, and two hundred soldiers followed him. For many hours they moved on through the forest.

　　"Where is the road?" they cried. "We must be near the road by now."

　　"I‘m old," answered the old man. "Perhaps I have lost my way."

　　"He wants money and give him some gold," said the soldiers. "But if he doesn‘t show us the way we will kill him."

　　"We‘ll soon be on the road now," said the old man when he got the money. "And you will be able to go to the town."

　　But the trees closed round them and it became darker and darker though it was still the middle of the day. It was even harder to walk on in the heavy snow.

　　"This cannot be the road," the men said to one another, but they could do nothing but follow those in front.

　　As a native language, English is spoken by nearly three hundred million people, in the U.S.A., England, Australia and some other countries.

　　For people in India and many other countries, English is often necessary for business, education and other activities. So English is the second language there.

　　As a foreign language, no other language is more widely studied or used than English. We used it to listen to the radio, to read books or to travel. It is also one of the working languages in the United Nations and is more used than the others.

　　Questions 26~30

　　What is your favorite colour? Do you like yellow, orange, red? If you do, you must be a person full of hopeful happy feeling about life. Do you like grey and blue? Then maybe you are quiet, and you would rather go after than go before. And sometimes you feel unhappy. If you love green, you are strong-minded. You wish to do everything well and want other people to see you are successful. At least this is what psychologists tell us. They tell us that we don‘t choose our favourite colour as we grow up. If you happen to love brown, you did so as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly.

　　A yellow room makes us feel happier and more comfortable than a dark green one; and a red dress brings warmth and gladness to the saddest winter day. Light and bright colours make people not only happier but more active. It is a fact that factory workers work better, harder and have few accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black dark grey.

　　Remember, then, that if you feel low, you can always brighten your day or your life with a new shirt or a few colourful things. Remember also that you will know your friends better when you find out what colours they like and dislike. And don‘t forget that anyone can guess a lot about your character when you choose something in different colours.

　　26. If you love green, ___________.

　　(A) you feel unhappy

　　(B) you are strong-minded

　　(D) you feel comfortable

　　27. Factory workers will have fewer accidents when ______.

　　(A) they work in yellow or orange rooms

　　(B) they work harder in red coats

　　(D) they work on the black machines

　　28. It‘s important for us to choose colours because ______.

　　(A) colours do affect our feeling in many ways

　　(B) sometimes colours will do our feeling good

　　(D) colours will help us to do everything well
