p^ad the text and answer the questions according to it.
The raccoon is a medium sized bear-like animal. Some people might wonder why raccoons 
live in towns. But the raccoons were there first before people. Cities grow, houses move into 
woods and fields where once wild animals lived. As a result, some kinds of animals move out. 
But raccoons stayed. They can live near people. People don’t always like having raccoons as 
neighbours. Because they can carry dangerous diseases. Raccoons sleep most of the day. They 
sleep on tree branches. At night, they come out in search of food. Dark fur around their eyes 
gives raccoons the nickname of “ m asked b a n d its” . Garbage is a large part of the raccoon’s diet. 
People often try to make their garbage cans hard to open for raccoons but they usually don’t 
succeed, 
because raccoons are clever animals. In the woods, they usually live in trees, high above 
the ground. In towns, however, trees are rare. When people discover a raccoon in their house, 
they usually want to get rid of it. This information would be useful for people who wanted to 
know more about raccoons.
53. According to the passage, why do people 
want raccoons to be away from their places?
A) Because people do not like them as they 
are domestic.
B) They are afraid of illnesses carried by 
raccoons.
C) Because some raccoons are cleverer than 
all people.
D) There aren’t enough places for raccoons 
and people.
54. According to the passage, for which reason do 
raccoons have nickname as “ masked bandits”?
A) Because of their sleeping manner.
B) Because of their face look.
C) Because of their eating diet.
D) Because of their habits.

Dear Manager,
You know that I work for your company as a guide. It’s my job to make everything go well 
for the tourists. But something unpleasant happened last weekend. Last Saturday I met a group 
of tourists at the airport. I normally take our tourists to “ The Sheraton Hotel”, but this time it 
was hosting an international conference. So I took them to another hotel “ The Navruz Hotel”. 
I hadn’t used the service of “ The Navruz Hotel” before and didn’t quite know what kind of 
service they had. When we arrived at the reception, they said the hotel was full and didn’t 
have any free room. Although I had booked rooms beforehand, the manager said that somebody 
phoned a day before and said that we wouldn’t need the rooms. The manager insisted it was I 
who made that phone call. I was very annoyed but the manager phoned other hotels and found 
rooms but in four different hotels. I don’t know who made that phone call. I hope you will 
understand and won’t blame me for what happened that day.
Sincerely, Salima Anvarovna.
