OPERA AND THE ENGLISH
 When I told an architect friend that I was writing a brief book on opera, 
he asked if it would tell him “what he was missing”. The feeling of that he 
 was missing something was a step in the exactly right direction, but the 
fact that he had lived in England for 45 years without setting his foot in 
the theatre for an opera performance was a reflection on the small part 
that opera plays in the lives of the majority of so intelligent people in 
Britain. The basic appeal of opera is to the heart, if not the head, and the 
British find the outpouring of emotion and passionate melody feel a little 
embarrassing. Unlike for the Italians, the Germans and the French, the British 
have no native operatic tradition of long standing, and so this opera has 
 remained a largely suspect foreign import, which indulged in by the rich, and 
condemned by intellectuals on the old premise that “anything too silly 
 to be said, could be sung”. Opera is not really something like that at all. 
All half of its origins may be aristocratic but the other half are firmly rooted 
in the songs, stories and dances of such popular entertainment through the centuries.

SECTION THREE: READING COMPREHENSION
Part 1. Read the following passage, then choose the best answer (A, B or C) and decide if the following statements are true (T) or false (F). (7ms) 
When we are children, our siblings - that is, our brothers and sisters - are our first friends and first enemies. At the end of life, they are often our oldest friends and oldest enemies. The effect of sibling relationships in childhood can last a lifetime. Many experts say that the relationship among brothers and sisters explains a great deal about family life, especially today when brothers and sisters often spend more time with one another than with their parents.
 	Studies have shown that sibling relationships between sister-sister pairs and brother-brother pairs are different. Sister pairs are the closest. Brothers are the most competitive. Sisters are usually more supportive of each other. They are more talkative, frank, and better at expressing themselves and sharing their feelings. On the other hand, brothers are usually more competitive with each other.
Experts agree that the relationship among siblings is influenced by many factors. For example, studies have shown that both brothers and sisters become more competitive and aggressive when their parents treat them even a little bit differently from one another. But parental treatment is not the only factor, gender characteristics, life events, people, and experiences outside the family all shape the life of siblings. Recently, one researcher demonstrated another factor in sibling relationships. It was discovered that children dislike watching their siblings fight. In fact, they respond to arguments by taking sides - supporting one sibling and punishing the other.
