If you travel by ship across the Pacific, you cross the international date line. By agreement, this is the point where a new day begins. When you cross the line, you change your calendar one full day, backward or forward. Traveling east, today becomes yesterday, traveling west, it is tomorrow!

Passage Two
Most people have had a dog or wanted one as their companion at some time in their lives. If you are thinking of buying a dog, however, you should first decide what sort of companion you need and whether the dog is likely to be happy in the surroundings you can provide. Specialist advice is available to help you choose the most suitable breed of dog. But in part, the decision
depends on common sense. Different dogs were originally developed to perform specific tasks. So, if you want a dog to protect you or your house, for example, you should choose a breed that has the right size and characteristics
You must also be ready to devote a good deal of time to train the dog when it is young and give it the exercise it needs throughout its life, unless live in the country and can let it run freely. Dogs are demanding pets. Cats love the house and so are satisfactory with their place which is secure, but a dog is loyal to its master and consequently wants him to show proof of his affection.
The best time to buy a baby dog is when it is between 6 and 8 weeks old so that it can transfer its affection from its mother to its master. If baby dogs have not established a relationship with the human being until they are over three months old, their strong relationship will always be with dogs. They are likely to be too shy when they are brought out into the world to become good pets.
55. Which of the following is Not true according to the passage?
A) Size and characteristics of the dogs should be considered too.
B) It is common sense that is the most important when choosing a dog.
C) You should decide what kind of dog you want.
D) You can always get help from the specialists.
56. What is mentioned as a consideration in buying a dog?
A) The price of the dog.
B) The color of the dog.
C) Whether the dog will fit the environment.
D) Whether the dog will get along with the other pets in the house.
57. Why does the writer say a dog is a more demanding pet than a cat?
A) It must be looked after carefully.
B) It demands more food and space.
C) It needs more love and care.
D) It must be trained so that it won’t bite.
58. Why is it advised to buy a baby dog under three months old?
A) It’s easier to buy a baby dog under three months old.
B) They are less likely to run away.
C) They are less likely to be shy with human beings.
D) It’s easier for them to form a relationship with their masters.
Passage Three
Students who want to attend an American college or university must explain how they will pay for their education. They have to show that they will be able to pay for each year of study.Students have to consider not only the tuition, the cost of classes, but also meals and a place to live, known as room-and-board.

Students must also provide a bank letter or statement from within the past six months. And they have to name anyone who will help with payments. These people must send proof from a bank to show that they have the money.
