<i><b>Passage 1</b></i>
As Christmas evolved in the United States, new customs were adopted and many old ones were
reworked. The legend of Santa Claus, for example, had origins in Europe and was brought by Dutch settlers to
New York in the early 18th<sub> century. Traditionally, Santa Claus - from the Dutch Sinter Klaas - was depicted as a</sub>
tall, dignified, religious figure riding a white horse through the air. Known as Saint Nicholas in Germany, he
was usually accompanied by Black Peter, an elf who punished disobedient children. In North America he
<i><b>eventually developed into a fat, jolly old gentleman who had neither the religious attributes of Saint Nicholas</b></i>
nor the strict disciplinarian character of Black Peter.
<i>Santa’s transformation began in 1823, when a New York newspaper published the poem A Visit from</i>
<i>Saint Nicholas, which Clement Clark Moore had written to amuse his daughter. The poem introduced many</i>
Americans to the story of a kindly saint who flew over housetops in a reindeer-drawn sleigh. Portraits and
drawings of Santa Claus by American illustrator Thomas Nast further strengthened the legend during the second
half of the 19th<sub> century. Living at the North Pole and assisted by elves, the modern Santa produced and</sub>
delivered toys to all good children. By the late 19th<sub> century he had become such a prominent figure of American</sub>
<i>folklore that in 1897, when Virginia O’Hanlon wrote to the New York Sun newspaper asking if Santa was real,</i>
<i>she received a direct answer: “Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus”.</i>
<b>41. Who brought the legend of Santa Claus to the USA according to the passage?</b>
A. Sinter Klaas B. Saint Nicholas C. A German D. Dutch settlers

A. tall man who could walk through the air B. fat, jolly, old man

49. The answer “Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus” is an illustration for the fact that________
A. the New York Sun was popular with children.
D. Virginia O’Hanlon was a reader of the New York Sun.
50. Which of the following statements is TRUE?

B. Living in the North Pole, Santa Claus visited children at Christmas.
C. Santa Claus was a real figure living in northern America.

<i><b>Passage 2. </b></i>
<i><b>One of the major problems in the art world is how to distinguish and promote an artist. In effect, a market</b></i>
