3. Read the following passage and circle the letter A, B, c, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 38 to 42. Every year, kids and teens look forward to summer vacation. However, for one group of teens, summer vacation means the beginning of some major changes, and is approached with hesitance. After they are parted, maintaining friendships is going to take time and effort, because everybody is going in different directions. For instance, some people are off to college or university, some are out to travel and experience the world, and others are diving right into the workforce. Whatever the paths your friends are choosing after graduation, chances are you won't all walk the same one. Naturally, it won't be easy to keep your friendships alive, but here are some tips to follow. The first and most important thing to do in order to maintain high school friendships is to stay in touch by making phone calls, sending email, and in some cases snail- mailing your friends. However, as the demands on your time increase and new friends appear in your new life, you will have to make a realistic choice, which leads us to the next step-prioritize your friendships. This may seem cold but it is necessary. As you enlarge your social circles, you need to make room for new friendships and this will require you to rearrange the old ones. Over time, some friends will completely disappear, some will turn into acquaintances, and others will become even closer and more important than they were in high school. As a result, you need to decide which friendships are most worthy of your time and effort and act accordingly. Friends will come and go, but all will teach you something about who you are and who you want to be. If you lose a friend, instead of focusing on the temporary emptiness this may leave in your life, reflect on what you have gained by having had that friend in your life and make it a part of your memory.

Not only does Linda Greenlaw do one of the most dangerous jobs in the world, but also does it extremely well. She has been described as ‘one of the best captains on the entire East Coast’ and that, in one of the leading countries in the fishing industry, is praise indeed. Linda was born and brought up on Isle au Haut, a tiny island ten kilometers off the coast of Maine, USA. She fell in love with fishing as a child, and she worked on fishing boats during her summer breaks from college. Her first opportunity to go on a deep-sea fishing trip came when she was nineteen. Alden Leeman, a man she'd never met before, hired her for thirty days on his sword-fishing boat. The trip was a success and eventually Alden offered Linda her first boat to captain in 1986, which probably made her the only woman ever to captain a sword-fishing boat. So, why did she take up swordfishing in the first place? Linda says that not only does she like the way she feels on a boat, but she also gets passionate about catching a fish. More than anything, she's proud of being a fisherman, even more so than she is of being a best-selling author. Linda has published four books to date, the first of which, The Hungry Ocean, was top of the New York bestseller list for three months. In it, Linda tells the story of one fishing trip and narrates the adventures she experienced on board with her five-man crew, including bad weather, sickness, mechanical problems and, of course, the fish. But the world of fish and fishing is a man's world and it's not easy to find a word to describe Linda Greenlaw. In her own words, she says: 'I am a woman. I am a fisherman. I am not a "fisherwoman”, “fisherlady", or "fishergirl”.’ Question 38. Linda is ___. A. American B. British C. Canadian D. Greek Question 39. Her first deep-sea fishing trip was ___.
