A songwriter is someone who writes the lyrics to songs, the musical composition or melody to songs, or both. That is to say, a songwriter is a ‘lyricist’, a composer, or both. The word 'songwriter' is however more commonly used these days to describe one who writes popular songs for others to perform than to describe a writer of art songs. People who sing their own songs are nowadays typically called ‘singer-songwriters’, although the tradition of doing this dates back hundreds of years. It is often speculated that pre-historic man must have made up and sung songs. Most art song-writing is written for somebody other than the composer to perform, although it is known that Schubert often sang his own songs at private parties, and there have been a number of composers who were also singers and wrote for themselves. Many modern rock and roll bands have one or two songwriters, often members of the band. In many cases, the lead singer is one of the songwriters.
According to the passage, a songwriter today is someone who ----.
A) composes melodic songs called ‘lyrics’
B) writes and sings their own lyrics
C) cares little for popular music, only for art
D) bases their major influences on pre-historic song writing history

More than three-quarters of infants suck their thumbs or fingers through the first year of life. For these children, thumb sucking is an appropriate and useful behaviour that allows them to soothe and entertain themselves. A child usually turns to his thumb when he is tired, upset or bored. It is not unusual for a thumb sucker to simultaneously engage in other behaviours like pulling at a strand of hair, touching an ear, or holding onto a blanket or stuffed toy. Specialists agree that a thumb sucker younger than age five shouldn't be pressured to stop. The majority of children give up such habits on their own before they enter kindergarten. Even when the habit lingers past infancy, thumb sucking is rarely something to be concerned about. It does not indicate that a child has emotional problems or that he will still be sucking his finger when he's a teenager. Nevertheless, about fifteen percent of children will continue thumb sucking past their fifth birthday. This is an age when teasing often starts, causing social difficulties for children once they reach school age.
60. We learn from the passage that ____.
A) some other habits can occur with thumb sucking at the same time
B) after nursery school giving up the bad habits gets difficult
C) such behaviours especially sucking thumb is innate
D) among the seventy-five percent of one year old children sucking thumb isn’t insistent
E) sucking thumb is a suitable and worthwhile habit all children accept
Wildfires are an important environmental hazard in many geographical areas. Those areas most prone to wildfires have wet seasons followed by dry seasons. Vegetation that grows and accumulates during the wet season dries out enough during the dry season to burn easily. When lightning hits the ground, it
ignites the dry organic material, and a fire spreads through the area. Actually fires have several effects on the environment. First, burning frees the minerals that are locked in organic matter. The ashes remaining after a fire are rich in otassium, phosphorus, calcium, and other minerals essential for plant growth. Thus, vegetation flourishes following a fire. Second, fire removes plant cover and exposes the soil, which stimulates the germination of seeds requiring bare soil, and encourages the growth of shade-intolerant plants. Third, fire can cause increased soil erosion because it removes plant cover, leaving the soil more vulnerable to wind and water.
45. As one learns from the passage, the reason why a wildfire is followed by vegetation growth is that ----
A) the minerals in the soil, especially potassium, phosphorus, and calcium, are preserved
perfectly
B) soil erosion takes a long time and, therefore, plants have time to grow up
C) plant seeds in the soil are unaffected by the fire and begin to germinate in the wet season
D) the ashes of the burnt organic matter contain many minerals indispensable for plants
E) the area where the fires have taken place becomes suitable for shade-intolerant plants
