Give the correct form of the words in brackets to complete the following passage.
Julie Morgenstern's book (36. TITLE)………..Time Management from the Inside Out
aims to help people organize their time better. Julia says that getting organized is a completely ‘learnable’ skill. One common reason she has (37. IDENTITY)………..for people not getting things done, be it tasks at work, study (38. OBJECT)……….., or things they hope to achieve in their free time, is that they don’t set aside a (39. SPECIFY)………..time in which to do these things.
In other words, they're always trying to fit new activities into an already full schedule, or allowing themselves to be distracted by things other than the task in hand. What's more, because they (40. ESTIMATE)………..how long tasks are actually going to take, such people are always running behind schedule, and always having to (41. APOLOGY)………..for not meeting deadlines.
To avoid this, Julie suggests making a list of “must-do” tasks and putting a time estimate next to each. This will allow a direct (42. COMPARE)………..to be made
between time spent on each task and how long you (43. ORIGIN)………..thought it
would take you. In no time at all, you’ll be able to make an expert (44. JUDGE)………..about how long activities really take, allowing you to be more (45. REAL) ………..about how much you set out to achieve in the first place.

DOLPHIN TO THE RESCUE
People often claim that humans and animals are not as different as they appear.
For example, dolphins are often (51) ………… with human - or even super-human -
intelligence and also a sort of sympathy with human beings. This (52)…………to dolphins
is not surprising in view of incidents like the (53)…………one, which happened in 1983. A lawyer’s wife was bathing alone from a private beach in Florida. She had only just gone into the water when she was (54)…………off by a strong current. She swallowed water and was beginning to lose (55)…………, wishing desperately that someone would come and rescue her. And she tells how at this moment she was given "a tremendous shove" and found herself (56)…………out of the water. She slowly recovered and turned to thank her
rescuer. But there was no one about, only a pair of dolphins playing and leaping out of the water a few metres offshore.
At this point a man came running up to say that he had seen what he had (57)……
for a dead body being pushed ashore by one of the dolphins. Now this is not an obscure (58)…………of an incident which happened in the dim and (59)…………past. It happened in our own times and was witnessed by a number of (60)………….

Read the following passage and choose the best answer to each of the following questions.
The History of London
The Roman invasion of Britain in 43 CE brought the pre-Roman ancient Britons under Roman rule, but it also resulted in founding the Roman's first major British settlement called Londinium, which meant "he settlement on the wide river" and in fact, the settlement was established where a bridge was built across the Thames. The area that was later called London was first believed to have served as a fort for defending the Roman army; however, archaeological digs in the area pointed to the real reason - Londinium was used for private enterprise. In 1981, the vestiges of an enormous Roman pier, which had probably been used for trade, were discovered. This ancient London was burned to the ground by a Celtic tribe in 61 CE, and then it was rebuilt, becoming the capital of the Roman province of Britannia for 4 decades. However, by the 2nd century CE, the city suffered gradual deterioration as a result of the Roman Empire's decline. It was abandoned for 3 centuries.
By the 6th century CE, the Anglo-Saxons re-established the city, then called Lundenwic, about a mile west of its original founding. The city prospered as an international trading and political centre under a succession of English kings, but suffered opposition as well. Although the Scandinavian Vikings and the Danish would raid and besiege the city, the Anglo-Saxons ultimately maintained control of the city. The Anglos-Saxons inhabited it for centuries, and by the 10th century, they managed to make London England's largest and wealthiest city. During the Middle Age, London, then the country's centre of commerce and Westminster, the seat of the royal court and government, grew together and became central London, replacing Winchester as England's capital in the 12th century. The city's population continued to grow, but the bubonic plague struck London in the mid-14th century. It was no wonder that the streets of the city were extremely filthy, and rats were a constant presence. The disease wiped out about 30% of the city’s people; it did not, however, destroy the city and its political ambitions. By the late 16th century, England defeated the Spanish Armada, a large fleet of ships sent by King Philip II of Spain to protect its interests in the New World. The subduing of the Spanish Armada strengthened England’s political stability and facilitated its continued growth. Even an outbreak of a hemorrhagic fever from 1665 and 1666 and a subsequent catastrophic fire in 1666 did not slacken the city’s development.
The Industrial Revolution played a huge role in London's economic development, and London's expansion and urbanization in the 18th century was such that it gained prominence as the world’s largest city. London's first railway in 1836 allowed people in countryside towns easy access to the city. London's metro system, the world's first underground railway transit system, eased the city's overfilled streets. The local government’s priority was to provide London, whose population was 5 million by the late 19th century, with the infrastructure it needed. Prosperous as the middle and upper classes were, however, the city was highly socially stratified, and the poor were crowded into slums in the eastern part of the city. The World Wars of the 20th century desolated buildings and homes across London. London rehabilitated and continued to grow after the wars, but it was believed that the lack of architectural unity resulted in the construction of buildings that were a continuum of the architectural styles. Economic restoration in the 1980s revived London’s place as the world’s foremost international centre. Today, the city is one of the world's leading business, political, financial and cultural centres.
