IV. Read the following passage and choose the best answer from A,B, C or D:
I had feared that my companion would talk, but it was soon plain (rõ ràng) that there was no such danger. Two days passed during which we did not exchange a single word. He seemed, indeed, absolutely unaware of my presence. He neither read nor wrote, but spent most of his time sitting at the table and looking out of the window across the pleasant parkland that surrounded the house. He sometimes talked to himself and said things half under his breath. He bit his nails and once he produced a penknife and dug holes in the furniture until one of the attendants (nhân viên) took it from him. I thought at first that perhaps he was mentally ill. During the second day I even began to feel a little nervous of him. He was extremely large, both broad and tall, with very wide shoulders and enormous hands. His huge head was usually sunk low between his shoulders. He had dark, rather untidy hair and a big shapeless mouth which open very now and then. Once or twice he began singing to himself, but broke off abruptly (bất ngờ) on each occasion - and this was the nearest he seemed to get to noticing my presence.
By the evening of the second day I was completely unable to go on with my work. Out of a mixture of nervousness and curiosity, I sat, too looking out of my window and blowing my nose, and wondering how to set about establishing the human contact which was by now becoming an absolute necessity. It ended of with my asking him for his name. He had been introduced to me when he arrived, but I had paid 
no attention then. He turned towards me a very gently pair of dark eyes and said his name: Huge Belfounder. He added:" I thought you didn't want to talk." I said that I was not at all against talking, that I had just been rather busy with something when he arrived, and I begged his pardon if I had appeared rude.
It seemed to me, even from the way he spoke, that he was not only mentally ill, but was highly intelligent; and I began, almost automatically, to pack up my papers. I knew that from now on I should do no more work. I was sharing a room with a person of the greatest fascination.
 1.............................2...........................3...........................4............................
 How did Huge spend the first two days?
He worked as if the writer was not there.
He talked and sang to himself from time to time.
He spent his time making holes in the furniture.
He kept annoying the attendants.
On the second evening the writer

Huge didn't talk to the writer at first because

he was feeling ill.
he was too busy.
The writer's attitude to Huge changed from
fear to nervousness.
nervousness to interest.
curiosity to nervousness.
nervousness to unfriendliness.

(1) ................ seem to slip away before many planned chores get done. (2) .................... to time management experts, the main reason for this is that most people fail to set priorities about what to do (3) .................

Thirteen-year-olds not spend as much money as their parents suspect - at least not according to the findings of a recent survey, Money and Charge.
 The survey included three hundred teenagers, 13-17 years old, from all over British.
By the time they reach their teens, most children see its weekly allowance rise dramatically to an amazing national average of ₤5.14.
 Two thirds think they get enough money, but most expect doing something to get it.
Although they have more cash, worry about debt is increasing between teenagers. 
Therefore, the majority of children do an effort to save for the future. 
Greater access to cash among teenagers does not, however, mean that they are more irresponsible as result. 
The economic recession seems to have encouraged cautious attitudes to money, even in the case of children in these ages.
Instead of wasting what pocket money they have on sweets or magazines, the 13-year-olds took part in the survey seem to respond to the situation by saving more than half of their cash.
