Read the following story and answer the questions about it.( 2 pts. each) Asking For Trouble It must have been about two in the morning when I returned home. I tried to wake up my wife by ringing the door-bell, but she was fast asleep, so I got a ladder from the shed in the garden, put it against the wall, and began climbing towards the bedroom window. I was almost there when a sarcastic voice below said , “ I don’t think the windows need cleaning at this time of the night. ” I looked down and nearly fell off the ladder when I saw a policeman. I immediately regretted answering in the way I did, but I said, “ I enjoy cleaning windows at night.” “So do I,” answered the policeman in the same tone. “Excuse my interrupting you. I hate to interrupt a man when he is busy working, but would you mind coming with me to the station?” “Well, I’d prefer to stay here,” I said. “You see, I have forgotten my key.” “Your what?” he called. “My key,” I shouted. Fortunately, the shouting woke up my wife who opened the window just as the policeman had started to climb towards me. Questions: Vocabulary: Choose the synonym of the words underlined. 36.

BONUS *****( 15 pts.) Read the following story. The Dead Return
A
festival for the dead is held once a year in Japan. This festival is a cheerful
occasion, for on this day, the dead are said to return to their homes and they
are expected to be hungry after their long journey, food is laid out for them.
Specially –made lanterns are hung outside each house to help the dead to find
their way. All night long, people dance and sing. In the early morning, the food
that had been laid out for the dead is thrown into a river or into the sea as it
is considered unlucky for anyone living to eat it. In towns that are near the
sea, the tiny lanterns which had been hung in the streets the night before, are
placed into the water when the festival is over. Thousands of lanterns slowly
drift out the sea guiding the dead on their return journey to the other world.
