Directions (6-10): Read the passage carefully and choose the best answer to each question out of the four alternatives.
A morning commute seems like a good time to embark on an ambitious train of thought. At least, that was the idea from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, which put a professor on a train on Wednesday to lecture commuters. Passengers on the 9 am train from the suburban community of Modiin to Tel Aviv put away their morning tabloids and iPods to listen to a talk from professor Hanoch Gutfreund on `Einstein’s love letters’. The lecture was the first of the university’s ‘Scientists on the Rails’ programme: an attempt to broaden the appeal of higher education and bring academia to the people.
Unsure how the move would be received, the train talks have been rescheduled for just after morning rush-hour and only in one carriage on the train to avoid antagonizing people. As the train chugged through tunnels and past the airport, one woman interrupted the professor with a question. “Will you finish your talk before we reach the station?” she wanted to know. “Madam, by the time you reach your station, you’ll have our BA”, came the reply from the professor.
Q6. Why did the Hebrew University embark on the programme of giving lectures on the train?
(a) People have motive to go to College
(b) The University was testing out an innovative idea
(c) The Railways wanted to reduce the stress of commuters
(d) The professors had nowhere else to teach

Inside a local eatery on a recent night, I noticed a fat brown dot walking along the counter top. As it ducked in and around the napkin holder, hid in a crack near the menu rack then made a dash for a glass of ice water, it became clear that this was no ordinary creature. This was a cockroach, the most enduring of all mankind’s associates.
Although my appetite was gone, the waitress wasn’t even embarrassed. But she did become frustrated when she tried to kill it. With a roll of newspaper in hand, she took a mighty swat, and then tossed the paper into a trash can. A few seconds later, here comes the cockroach, walking out of the newspaper roll, a little stunned but apparently as thirsty as ever as it made its way back to the bar.
Q11. The “fat brown dot” in paragraph one refers to
(a) a bug
(b) a waiter
(c) a cockroach
(d) a fly
