Passage Five

There are times when you find yourself unable to work out a problem. It is at this  261  that the way in which you use your teacher is important. With a good teachers such times should be less frequent than with a bad one, so the  262  the teacher, the more responsibility you have for your success! Whatever your luck in this  263  , one thing is most significant and stays the same, whatever the quality of teaching you  264  : if there is something you don't understand, you must ask, again and again if necessary, until you do understand it fully.  265  as this may seem, it is almost unbelievable how many people would rather sit in silent ignorance than admit not understanding. To behave in such a way is the only truly  266  thing a student can do: it's a false form of pride, which is the most useless, damaging quality anyone can have, to say  267   of a student! Therefore, regard your teacher as a guide or even a friend and do not sit   268  wondering what he's going on about. You may also ask a friend or classmate for help. Remember, there's always someone who is better than you in your class. And many newspapers and magazines set the special   269  for students, you can write to them and get replied in time. Listen to the radio, watch good TV  270  more often, maybe at a certain moment you'll find your question is being explained there and then.

Passage Six

The relations between men and wives are changing too. A majority of working women remain  271  their home; they come back at night to the cleaning, washing, and cooking that  272  their second career.
