mid-December as they change from Dad and Mom into Grandpa and Grandma. Yes, they
become grandparents and are completely different from the people I know the

parents’ change is the delight they take in visiting toy and children’s clothing
stores. These two people, who usually dislike anything having to do with
shopping malls, become crazy consumers. While they tell me to budget my money
and shop wisely, they are buying up every doll and dump truck in sight. And this
is only the beginning of the holidays! When my brother’s
children arrive, Grandpa and Grandma come into full form. First they throw out
all ideas about a balanced diet for the grandkids. Whi A. They get highly energetic. B. They quiet down. C. They want more sweets. D. They go to bed.

Passage 2
It came as something of a surprise when Diana, Princess of Wales, made a trip to Angola in 1997, to support the Red Cross’s campaign for a total ban on all anti-personnel landmines. Within hours of arriving in Angola, television screens around the world were filled with images of her comforting victims injured in explosions caused by landmines. "I knew the statistics," she said, "But putting a face to those figures brought the reality home to me; like when I met Sandra, a 13-year-old girl who had lost her leg, and people like her."
The Princess concluded with a simple message: "We must stop landmines". And she used every opportunity during her visit to repeat this message.
But, back in London, her views were not shared by some members of the British government, which refused to support a ban on these weapons. Angry politicians launched an attack on the Princess in the press. They described her A. to voice her support for a total ban of landmines B. to clarify the British government’s stand on landmines C. to investigate the sufferings of landmine victims there D. to establish her image as a friend of landmine victims
