When I was a little boy, I thought my birthday was the most important day of the year. Birthday

it on the

As you might have guessed, I certainly wasn't very when I was young. I thought the world revolved around me, and I wanted everyone to know it. I remember one particular

day in specific. It was during at school. While all my friends were eating, I overheard them talking about my party. They were just as excited as I was, and they kept asking me

what games we would play. I remember I was so happy just to sit there and in the anticipation they all felt for my special day.

Then Joey Franklin decided to have a huge birthday party when he turned seven. I was

distraught. I went home to to my mother. How could he have a birthday party that might be as good as (or better) than mine? Only I was allowed to have birthday parties!

"My

know. You're my special darling, but everyone has birthdays, and everyone is allowed to have a

Part III: Reading Comprehension

Questions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage.

Holidays are celebrated in many ways around the world: parades, celebrations, feasts, family dinners, fireworks, sporting events, and street festivals, just to name a few. Some holidays, such as New Year's Day, are observed around the world. Some holidays, such as Christmas, Hanukkah, and Ramadan, are celebrated only by members of a certain religion. Still other holidays are unique to specific countries and are celebrated by people who come from those countries, or who are descended from people who came from those countries.

St Patrick's Day is a national holiday in Ireland and Northern Ireland, and it is celebrated by Irish people and people of Irish descent in cities and countries around the world. However, in recent years, more and more people who are not Irish have begun to join in the festivities and celebrate the day. It has become especially popular in Europe, North America, Australia, and New Zealand. St Patrick is one of the patron saints of Ireland (according to the Catholic Church), and St Patrick's Day falls on March 17 each year.

Historically, the day began as an Irish religious holiday but became a national public holiday in 1903. Beginning in the late 20th century, the holiday transformed to be more of a cultural holiday—a day to celebrate Irish customs and culture. In Ireland, the Saint Patrick's Festival has become a week-long event to showcase Irish culture to the world. The colour green and the three-leaved shamrock are the symbols most associated with St Patrick and St Patrick's Day. It is therefore very common to see people wear green

clothing on March 17 even if they do not join in a major celebration.

St Patrick's Day parades are common in cities around the world. The largest Irish populations outside of Ireland and Northern Ireland are in the United States. Many major cities, including Boston, New York City, and Philadelphia have held parades for nearly 300 years! It has also become tradition to dye water green in honour of the day. The Chicago River flows through the middle of that city, and every March 17, the entire river is dyed green! Water fountains in front of the White House in Washington, DC and in Trafalgar Square in London are also typically dyed green.

41. St Patrick's Day is a national holiday in _____.

A. the United States

B. England

C. Northern Ireland

D. Australia

42. St Patrick's Day is an example of a _____ holiday.

A. religious

B. cultural

C. national

D. all of the above

43. Which of the following is a symbolic representation of Saint Patrick?

A. Feasts.

B. Festivals.

C. Parades.

D. Shamrocks.

44. This passage is an example of what style of writing?

A. Informative.

B. Persuasive.

C. Biographical.

D. Editorial.

45. Which paragraph describes the international influence of St Patrick's Day?

A. Paragraph 1.

B. Paragraph 2.

C. Paragraph 3.

D. Paragraph 4.

Key to Exercises Opener Going on a working holiday has many advantages: ? A working holiday visa grants you access to a country for a longer period of time than a standard tourist visa. ? The travel is sustainable in the sense that you can keep refilling your travel funds with employment. ? You can try different types of jobs, even the ones that you normally wouldn’t do when at home. And in this sense, a working holiday could be a life-changing experience. ? You are more likely to meet and make friends with the locals, not just other tourists. They can introduce you to a new culture. ? A working holiday makes a good break. A popular time to sign up for a working holiday is the break between high school and college or the break after college and before entering the real working world. Transcript: A working holiday is when you spend a significant amount of time in another country and have the working rights to back it up. You are able to pick up a job or two (or 6) and break that arrangement up by traveling or moving on to a new location in the country. In general, a working holiday visa grants you access to a country for a longer period of time than a standard tourist visa. In Australia, for example, the typical tourist visa is for 3 months while a working holiday visa is for 12 months. With a working holiday visa, you can work as you go, meaning you won’t necessarily go into debt while spending time abroad. Your method of travel may vary. Some prefer to travel up-front for several months and then spend the rest of the time working in one or two different locations. Others prefer to work for a month, travel for a month and then work for a month again. Either way, the travel is sustainable in the sense that you can keep refilling your travel funds with employment. With a working holiday visa, you are basically given the opportunity to test out any type of job, and you are probably put in a position to accept ones that you normally wouldn’t when at home. You never know what you might discover. A working holiday, in this sense, could end up
