Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions from 26 to 35.
In 776 B.C, the first Olympic Games were held at the foot of Mount Olympus, to honor the Greek’s chief god, Zeus.
The warm climate for outdoor activities, the need for preparedness in war, and their lifestyle caused the Greeks to create
competitive sports. Only the elite and military could participate at first, but alter the Games were open to all free Greek
males who had no criminal record. The Greeks emphasized physical fitness and strength in their education of youth.
Therefore, contests in running, jumping, discus and javelin throwing, boxing, and the winners competed every four years
at Mount Olympus. Winners were greatly honoured by having olive wreaths placed on their heads and having poems
sung about their deeds. Originally these contests were held as games of friendship, and any wars in progress were
halted to allow the game to take place. They also helped to strengthen bonds among competitors and the different
cities represented.
The Greeks attached so much important to the games that they calculated time in four-year cycles called
“Olympiads” dating from 776 B.C. The contests coincided with religious festivities and constituted an all-out effort on the

When buying a house, house owners must be sure to have it checked for termites. A termite is much like an ant in
its communal habits, although physically the two insects are distinct.
Like those of ants, termite colonies consist of different classes, each with its own particular job. The most perfectly
formed termites, both male and female, make up the reproductive class. They have eyes, hard body walls, and fully
developed wings. A pair of reproductive termites founds the colony. When new reproductive termites develop, they
leave to form another colony. They use their wings only this one time and then break them off.
The worker termites are small, blind, and wingless, with soft bodies. They make up the majority of the colony and
do all the work. Soldiers are also wingless and blind but are larger than the workers and have hard heads and strong
jaws and legs. They defend the colony and are cared for by the workers.
The male and female of the reproductive class remain inside a closed-in cell where the female lays thousands of
eggs. The workers place the eggs in cells and care for them. Even if one colony is treated with poison, if a male and
female of the reproductive class escape, the can form a new colony.
