Josh: Do you know about “pay it forward coffee” at Flora Cafe?
Eric: You mean you pay for a cup of coffee for someone poor to have it later?
Josh: Yeah. A cup of coffee is not much, but on cold winter days like today, it might warm them up a little. And maybe their hearts too.
Eric: But will Flora Cafe really give this cup of coffee to someone later?
Josh: Come on. I’ve known the shopkeeper well. He’s an honest man. He’s got a blackboard in the shop that says how many cups are paid for and how many have been given out.
Eric: But how will they know who to give? Anyone can ask for it, even if they’re not poor.
Josh: True, but then I guess they’ll just have to believe in people.
Eric: Perhaps. But will poor people go and ask for a free coffee? Won’t they worry about losing face?
Josh: Why do you always say things like that?
Eric: Well, it may happen.
Josh: Yeah, I know, but I still think it’s a good thing to do, and it gets people to care about others.

32.
(A) Problems about the free coffee plan.
(B) Trouble for people who go to Flora Café.
(C) Ways to make the free coffee plan successful.
(D) Good things free coffee will bring to Flora Café.

Over the years, the number of whales has dropped a lot. From 1946 to 1986, about 340,000 whales were killed. People worry that children in the future can only see whales in pictures. They believe all kinds of whaling (whale hunting) should be stopped before it is too late.
People around the world are trying to stop whaling, but they have forgotten one fact: Whaling has been going on for a long time before it became a problem. Whaling started more than 1,500 years ago. For tribes (groups of people living together), it was a way to live. The local soil was not good for growing crops, so they killed whales to get meat. They also used whale fat to make candles or oil for lamps. For a long time, whaling was not just a way to live, but part of who they were.
Tribal whaling is not what we should worry about. Only 10% of the whales killed in the last forty years were from tribal whaling. The other 90% died from commercial whaling (whaling to make money). When we try to stop all kinds of whaling, we should think about what we are asking tribes to give up. Is this really the best answer to the whaling problem?

Below are the writer’s points in the reading: a. Whether we should stop tribespeople whaling b. The problem of whaling c. Whaling as a way of life In what order does the writer talk about his points?

Guesses about Carolyn Cole have been flying around since last week, and now things have taken a new turn.
Last week Carolyn Cole won the Inscriber Prize, the country’s biggest book prize, with her book Paper Soldier. Cole herself did not show up for the prize. It was not only the first time in history that a first-time writer won the prize, but also the first time that the winner did not appear.
Now here comes another “first time” for the Inscriber: Cole is not real. “She” is in fact Thomas Goode. Goode is known for his picture books. His best-known book, Blue Moon, won him two national book prizes and sold over one million copies.
Goode had tried to write “serious” books before. His first try was Parent, which came out in 2006. Sadly, Goode’s big name did not help, and there was little interest in Parent. Goode’s friend told NBN that he wanted to write a book under a different name. Goode thought that people might treat his book seriously if they did not know it was from a picture book writer.
For the moment, there has been no word from Goode yet.

38.
(A) Carolyn Cole is a first-time writer.
(B) Carolyn Cole won the Inscriber Prize.
(C) Carolyn Cole is not the winner’s real name.
(D) Carolyn Cole did not appear for the Inscriber Prize.
