Read the following passage and choose the best answer for each question.
1. Stella McCartney was born in 1972, the daughter of pop star Sir Paul McCartney. She is the
youngest of three sisters. One sister is a potter and the other sister does the same job as their mother used to do
- she works as a photographer. Stella's brother, James, is a musician. Stella first hit the newspaper headlines in
1995 when she graduated in fashion design from art college. At her final show, her clothes were modeled by
her friends, Naomi Campbell and Kate Moss, both well-known models. Unsurprisingly, the student show
became front-page news around the world. Stella hadn't been in the news before as a fashion designer but she
had spent time working in the fashion world since she was fifteen. In March 1997, Stella went to work for the
fashion house Chloe. People said the famous fashion house had given her the job because of her surname and
her famous parents but Stella soon showed how good she was. She designs clothes which she would like to
wear herself, although she's not a model, and many famous models and actors choose to wear them. In 2001
Stella started her own fashion house and has since opened stores around the world and won many prizes. A
lifelong vegetarian, McCartney does not use any leather or fur in her design. Instead, she uses silk, wool and
other animal-derived fabrics.

2. In your life, you have many relationships: with family members (such as your parents, siblings and
children), friends, and maybe romantic partners. Relationships can be very good for our health. Safe and
healthy relationships give people a sense of support, connection, trust and respect.
Even healthy relationships can be challenging and cause us stress sometimes. We won’t always agree with
each other or see things the same way. But if we respect each other and work to have good communication,
we can understand each other better and make our relationships even stronger.
In this lesson, we will talk about how to keep your relationships healthy, by communicating honestly and
resolving conflict in respectful ways, for example.
Respect is the foundation of safe and healthy relationships: both partners must respect each other.
Respect means believing that the other person deserves to be treated well, simply because they are a person.
When you respect someone, you know they have the right to make decisions and live their own life. Mutual
respect allows people to become true partners, listening to each other, appreciating each other’s strengths, and
finding compromises that work for both people.
Communication is also essential to healthy relationships. You and your partner should be honest
with each other and be able to speak freely and openly about your thoughts and feelings. It’s easier to
communicate honestly when you feel secure and comfortable in a relationship—when you trust that your
partner accepts you as you are and values your partnership. In a healthy relationship, your partner is interested
in what you think and feel.
1. What are the benefits of healthy relationships?
A. Challenges C. Sense of support, connection, trust and respect
B. Stress D. Trust and respect
2. Healthy relationships can cause stress because………
A. We don’t always have the same idea with our partners.
B. We sometimes disrespect each other.
C. The partners don’t understand each other.
D. We always dream of a good relationship.
3. The word “mutual respect” has the closest meaning with…….
A. The feeling of believing in our partners.
B. You have right to live our own life.
C. Your partners have right to live their own lives.
D. Two people both believe each other.
4. Communication is necessary to healthy relationships because………
A. We are able to speak freely and openly about your thoughts and feelings.
B. In a healthy relationship, your partner is interested in what you think and feel.
C. We are able to speak freely and openly.
D. This helps partners more understand each other.
5. Which of the following would serve as the best title for the passage?
A. Respect and communication
B. Healthy relationships
C. The benefits of healthy relationships
D. The necessary factors of healthy relationships
3. Having a best friend to confide in can bring a positive effect on our emotional health. An evening out with
the closest friend may be the best guarantee of a good time. In fact, our best friend can prevent us from
developing serious psychological problems such as depression and anxiety.
Best friendship evolves with time - we cannot go out and pick our best friend. We become friends with people
who share common interests – at school or through hobbies, for example.
Best friends have usually known each other for years and stuck together through good and bad times. If you
haven't got one, perhaps you are being too distant from people, or focusing too much on your work.

A. An unsociable person may not have a close friend. B. Friendships need time to develop.
C. The ties of close friendship will never be broken. D. We often have satisfaction being with a close friend.
4. Generally, friendship exists for three reasons: virtue; usefulness; or pleasure. When virtue is the
reason, friendship exists for the sake of friendship; where both like each other and cherish each other for some
creditable values in the other's personality. You know that you would even die to swear your friendship for
that person. You also know that the other would make you live than die for him/her regardless of intelligence,
handsomeness, utility or the capability of giving pleasure.
A friendship of the second kind is formed for the practical value of it. How useful so and so is to me?
What can I benefit from him? Will he use his reputation and influence to fetch me a good job? Thus a person
may maintain relationship for practical, professional, and political reasons. However, once we do away with
the usefulness, the friendship eventually dies.
Friendship of the third kind is formed essentially on account of the pleasure the relationship can give.
He is a joker. The moment he enters, you forget all your worries. She is cute, intelligent and charming. The
very notion that she is your friend makes you feel proud. The point rests here: How good is he/she in giving
me pleasure physically, emotionally, mentally and materially?
Now to the question: Which of the three is good? The second type is good, yet since basing on utility,
it falls short of longevity and quality. The third type is good too, but how long one enjoys only pleasure in
life? But the first type, virtue-based friendship is fantastic for this reason: it lasts till the end of this universe.
