"He used to love her, but it's all over now. A couple for more than two decades, Mick Jagger, and Jerry Hall, said they would have their marriage annulled. Hall filed for divorce after a Brazilian model claimed Jagger had made her pregnant. But Jagger challenged the action, saying his marriage to Hall in Bali was not legally valid. Undoubtedly the hangup was money. London papers claimed that the Rolling Stones' lead singer will pay $11 million to $15 million. That shouldn't be a problem. The Stones, even after rolling for a third of a century, are still the world's top musical attraction, taking in nearly $88 million so far from this year's touring."

Read the paragraph and answer question.
The concept of generation gap is widely accepted in Canada and the United States. It was a concept that grew in prominence in the 1960s and 1970s, when a common belief among young people was “Never trust anyone over thirty” and many older people felt they could no longer understand young people. These days, many people think that the generation gap is lessening because the baby-boom generation (those born between 1946 and 1961) has moved past the age of thirty.

Fakes - a world of copycats
Every year, criminals make millions of dollars selling fake perfumes, clothes, medicines and computer software. Counterfeit goods account for about 7% of total trade across the globe. And the criminals' gains are other people's losses. Take, for example, governments which are unable to collect revenue from indirect taxes and customs duty on legitimate sales.
Over 30% of sales in mainland China are estimated to be counterfeit. In India, fake products account for 10% of the revenue for the entire health sector. Five out of six Yamaha bikes sold worldwide are not the real thing. Nike, the brand which tells you to "just do it", loses $70 million annually to the menace of fake brands and pirate products. Identical fakes cost Gillette $20 million a year, and Proctor and Gamble loses a staggering $150 million on a twelve-month average in China alone.
Sometimes consumers prefer to buy an illegal copy of a video, CD-ROM, cassette or software package because it costs less. In Russia, for example, copies of Microsoft's Office 2000 program sell for just 1 % of the list price. Frequently, however, buyers don't realize they are buying a fake instead of the genuine article.
(Taken from Skyline 5 - Macmillan)
According to the last paragraph, consumers
I – have always intended to buy counterfeit goods.
II – are sometimes deceived by the fakes .
III – occasionally prefer pirate products because they are cheaper.
IV – see the illegal copies as a solution to the growing economical problems.

Read the passage below and answer question.
Who Moved My Cheese?
Who Moved My Cheese? It's a parable that reveals deep truths about changes. Two little mice and two little men live in a labyrinth searching for some cheese - a metaphor used to express what we wish to have in life, from a good job to spiritual peace. One of them is successful and writes what he learnt from his experiences on the walls of the labyrinths. The scribbled words on the walls teach us how to deal with the changes to live with less stress and achieve much more success at work and personal life.
It’s clear that “Who moved my cheese ?” is
