Part III: Reading Comprehension

Questions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage.

Now that I've graduated from college and moved into my own apartment, my parents often make a fuss about how scattered our family has become. I was their last child to move away from home, and I think they often miss having

everyone together in one place. I can certainly understand their point. They still live in Birmingham, but I now live in London and my sister is attending university in Oxford. To make matters worse, my older brother recently moved to Spain for a job.

Of course, we all keep in touch through email and over the phone. My brother even keeps a daily blog! However, it's not the same as being together, and sharing important news over email is completely different from telling someone that news face to face. We do our best to touch base with each other at least every other day, but we're all busy and sometimes we forget. The holidays are my favourite time of the year because it's when we all come together at our old house. With everyone together and in one place, it feels just like old times. I really enjoy spending time with my brother and sister and I know my parents really appreciate having all the kids under one roof again.

My parents don't have Internet access at their house and my mother has a rule that we all must switch off our mobile phones while we're there. If we want to make a call, we must go outside! It may sound harsh, but it really helps to bring all of us together. It's easy to forget how important and special personal connections can be. I think that modern technology, for all of its allure, interferes with the development of genuine relationships. 41. With which of the following statements would the author

probably agree?

A. Email is a great substitute for personal conversations.

B. Keeping a daily blog is a great way to keep

in touch with friends and family.

C. Face-to-face conversation is the best form of communication.

D. The best way to share news with someone is over

the phone.

42. What is the main idea of this passage?

A. Parents enjoy having their family together in one place.

B. There is a difference between sharing news through email and face to face.

C. The holidays are the best time of the year.

D. Genuine relationships are best developed

through personal communication.

43. Where would this passage likely appear?

A. In a scientific journal. B. In a personal memoir. C. In an academic paper. D. In a technical report.

44. Which of the following best describes \"under one roof\" (Para. 3, Line 3)?

A. In the same house. B. Safe from danger. C. Out of the weather. D. In the same country.

45. Why does the author like the holidays so much?

A. He likes to eat home-cooked meals.

B. He likes to have free time to surf the Internet.

C. He likes to spend time with his family. D. He likes to have phone calls outside.
