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.

Each year, the Academy Awards, better known as the “Oscars”, celebrate the best films and
documentaries with categories ranging from acting, directing and screenwriting, to costumes and special effects. This year, 9-year-old Quvenzhané Wallis joins the list of kids who have taken the movie business by storm, as she competes for the best actress award for her role as „Hushpuppy’ in the film “Beasts of the Southern Wild”.

 

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences is made up of filmmakers in all fields. The
group ranks their favorites in each category. Oftentimes Oscar recognition can take many years, but for some lucky and talented individuals that honor comes early in life.

 

Newcomer Quvenzhané Wallis (pronounced Kwe-VEN-zhah-nay) portrayed „Hushpuppy,’ a young
girl fighting to survive in a poor Mississippi Delta community prone to devastating flooding. In the film,
Wallis learns to find food in the wilderness, escapes a homeless shelter and deals with the death of her father. She will be the youngest ever nominee in the best actress category at nine years old.

 

Born in Houma, LA., Quvenzhané was just five years old when she auditioned for Beasts of the
Southern Wild. Since auditions for the role of Hushpuppy were only open to 6-9 year olds, Quvenzhané’s mother lied on the initial paperwork to allow her daughter to audition. When director Benh Zeitlin saw her audition however, he immediately recognized her as the best pick for this strong and independent young character.

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.

No sooner had the first intrepid male aviators safely returned to Earth than it seemed that
women, too, had been smitten by an urge to fly. From mere spectators, they became willing passengers and finally pilots in their own right, plotting their skills and daring line against the hazards of the air and the skepticism of their male counterparts. In doing so they enlarged the traditional bounds of a women's world, won for their sex a new sense of competence and achievement, and contributed handsomely to the progress of aviation.

 

But recognition of their abilities did not come easily. "Men do not believe us capable." the famed
aviator Amelia Earhart once remarked to a friend. "Because we are women, seldom are we trusted to do an efficient job." Indeed, old attitudes died hard: when Charles Lindbergh visited the Soviet Union in 
1938 with his wife, Anne-herself a pilot and gifted proponent of aviation - he was astonished to discover both men and women flying in the Soviet Air Force.
 

Such conventional wisdom made it difficult for women to raise money for the up - to - date
equipment they needed to compete on an equal basis with men. Yet they did compete, and often they
triumphed finally despite the odds. Ruth Law, whose 590 - mile flight from Chicago to Hornell, New York, set a new nonstop distance record in 1916, exemplified the resourcefulness and grit demanded of any woman who wanted to fly. And when she addressed the Aero Club of America after completing her historic journey, her plainspoken words testified to a universal human motivation that was unaffected by gender: "My flight was done with no expectation of reward," she declared, "just purely for the love of accomplishment."
