Passage 1
 Agnes Miller was one of the earliest leaders of the women’s liberation movement in the United States. She was born on a farm in Missouri in 1892. She had a very happy life as a child. She was the only daughter and the youngest child of five. Her parents and her brothers always treated her as their favorite.
 In 1896, the family moved to Chicago. Three years later they moved back to St. Louis where Agnes spent the rest of her childhood. She enjoyed her years in school and was an outstanding student of mathematics. She was also quite skillful as a painter.
 It was when Agnes went off to college that she first became aware that women were not treated as equals. She didn’t like being treated unequally but she tried not to notice it. After graduating from college she tried to get a job in her major field-physics. She soon found it was almost impossible for a woman.
 It took Agnes a full year to look for a job. Finally she gave up in anger. She began writing letters of protest to various newspapers. An editor in New York liked her ideas very much. He specially liked her style. He asked her to do a series of stories on the difficulties women had in finding a job.
 She traveled to several large cities to write stories about them. Her articles began to appear in more and more newspapers. She decided to write a book in support of women’s liberation. The book became a bestseller. She also began to write detective stories and published several books of poetry. But it was her work on equal rights for women that provided most of her income. Although she never saw full equal rights for women, she never gave up her fight. And she showed many other women the way to continue the fight.
21. How many children did Mr. and Mrs. Miller have?
 A. Only one.  B. Four.

Passage 2
 Jogging has become the most popular individual sport in USA. It has become commonplace to see people of all ages running along city streets, in parks and along special jogger’s trails that have been built in some cities. Many theories, even some mystical ones, have been advanced to explain the popularity of jogging. The plain truth is that jogging is a cheap, quick, and efficient way to maintain physical fitness.
 The most useful sort of exercise is exercise that develops the heart, lungs, and circulatory systems. If these systems are fit, the body is ready for almost any sport and for almost any sudden demand made by work or emergencies. One can train more specifically as by developing strength for weight lifting or the ability to run straight ahead for short distances with great power as in football, but running trains your heart and lungs to deliver oxygen more efficiently to all parts of your body. It is worth noting that this sort of exercise is the only kind that can reduce heart disease, the number one cause of death in USA. Only one sort of equipment is needed—a good pair of shoes. Physicians advise beginning joggers not to try to run in tennis or gym shoes. Many design advances have been made in only the last several years that make an excellent running shoe essential if a runner wishes to develop as quickly as possible, with as little chance of injury as possible. A good running shoe will have a soft pad for absorbing shock, as well as a slightly built-up heel and a full heel cup that will give the knee and ankle more stability. A wise investment in good shoes will prevent blisters and foot, ankle, and knee injuries and will enable the wearer to run on paved or soft surface.
 No other special equipment is needed, you can jog in any clothing you desire, even your street clothes. Many joggers wear expensive, warm-up suits, but just as many wear a simple gym shorts and a T-shirt. In fact, many people just jog in last year’s clothes. In cold weather, several layers of clothing are better than one heavy sweater or coat. If joggers are wearing several layers of clothing, they can add or subtract layers as conditions change. It takes surprisingly little time to develop the ability to run. The American Jogging Association has a twelve-week program designed to move from a fifteen-minute walk to a thirty-minute run. A measure of common sense, a physical examination and planned schedule are all it takes.
 26. The main purpose of this passage is to ______ .
 A. show jogging is the most favored exercise
 B. discuss jogging as a way to keep physical fitness
 C. describe the type of clothing needed for jogging
 D. provide scientific evidence of the benefits of jogging

 B. is both beneficial and inexpensive
 C. develops the heart, lungs, and circulatory systems
 D. enables one to run for short distances with great power
28. We can infer from this passage that ______ .
 A. jogging helps Americans reduce heart disease
 B. jogging can be harmful if the runnner is not properly prepared
 C. warm-up suits are preferable to gym shorts and T-shirts
 D. jogging is bad for the ankles and knees
