to indicate the correct word or phrase that best fits each of the numbered blanks.
A rainbow is an optical display of color that usually appears in the sky when a beam of sunlight
refracts through millions of raindrops. Each (1)________ color from the spectrum is then sent to
your eyes. For this to happen, the angle between the ray of light, the raindrop and the human eye
must be between 40 and 42 degrees.
After studying rainbows in (2)________, Sir Isaac Newton was able to explain how they are
formed. However, he was color blind, so he had to rely on the eyes of his assistant, who could
easily (3)________all the seven colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. His
assistant could also clearly tell the difference between indigo and violet.
There are two types of rainbows. Primary rainbows are the most common and have the most
distinctive colors, with red appearing on the outside of the arc and violet on the inside. Secondary


rainbows are unusual because the light is reflected twice within the raindrop before it
(4)________ a rainbow, so the colors are in reverse order and not as bright as primary rainbows.
There is a popular myth that if you reach the end of a rainbow, you will find a pot of gold waiting
for you. In fact, it is impossible to do this, because a rainbow has no end - as you go towards the

TASK 2. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions.
In American, although most men still do less housework than their wives, that gap has been
halved since the 1960s. Today, 41 per cent of couples say they share childcare equally, compared
with 25 percent in 1985. Men's greater involvement at home is good for their relationships with
their spouses, and also good for their children. Hands-on fathers make better parents than men
who let their wives do all the nurturing and childcare. They raise sons who are more expressive
and daughters who are more likely to do well in school - especially in math and science.
In 1900, life expectancy in the United States was 47 years, and only four per cent of the
population was 65 or older. Today, life expectancy is 76 years, and by 2025, it is estimated about
20 per cent of the U.S. population will be 65 or older. For the first time, a generation of adults
must plan for the needs of both their parents and their children. Most Americans are responding
with remarkable grace. One in four households gives the equivalent of a full day a week or more
in unpaid care to an aging relative, and more than half say they expect to do so in the next 10
years. Older people are less likely to be impoverished or incapacitated by illness than in the past,
and have more opportunity to develop a relationship with their grandchildren.
Even some of the choices that worry people the most are turning out to be manageable. Divorce
rates are likely to remain high, and in many cases marital breakdown causes serious problems
for both adults and kids. Yet when parents minimize conflict, family bonds can be maintained.
And many families are doing this. More non-custodial parents are staying in touch with their
children. Child-support receipts are rising. A lower proportion of children from divorced families
are exhibiting problems than in earlier decades. And stepfamilies are learning to maximize
children's access to supportive adults rather than cutting them off from one side of the family.
