Text 1: Social Security News Release 
 
Social Security Responds to Hurricane Katrina Agency Issues More Than 
30,000 Emergency Checks to Date 
 “Social Security has moved quickly to ensure that monthly payments get 
to beneficiaries affected by Hurricane Katrina and that other vital Social 
Security services are provided,” Jo Anne Barnhart, Commissioner of Social 5 
Security said today. “As we have all witnessed, the Gulf Coast is coping with 
destruction and loss of life that is utterly unfathomable. To ensure that 
beneficiaries will continue to receive their monthly Social Security and 
Supplemental Security Income payments, I have invoked immediate payment 
procedures that permit on-the-spot payments to be made to anyone who can no 10 
longer access their benefit check. I am pleased to report that, so far, Social 
Security has issued more than 30,000 immediate payments and that number 
continues to grow.” 
 Since September 1st , Social Security has provided immediate payments 
to evacuees who are not able to receive their monthly benefits, whether by mail 15 
or direct deposit. Beneficiaries can go to any open Social Security office and 
receive an immediate payment by check that replaces the full amount of their 
Social Security or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payment. 
 In addition, Social Security is providing immediate payments and other 
vital services to the affected areas and to evacuees in other locations through a 20 
variety of means: 
 A temporary office has been opened in the Houston Astrodome and is 
providing service seven days a week. 
 Social Security representatives are serving the public at evacuation 
centers throughout the U.S., such as the Baton Rouge River Center. 25 
 Social Security employees are onsite at FEMA’s Family Assistance 
Centers, such as the FEMA site in Ocean Springs, Mississippi. We anticipate 
having representatives onsite at similar centers in Pascagoula, Moss Point and 
Waveland, Mississippi and in Shreveport and Monroe, Louisiana. 
 Many Social Security offices are offering extended hours of service and 30 
remained open throughout the Labor Day weekend to help evacuees. 
 Social Security and the United States Postal Service also established 
temporary mail delivery stations in areas where mail service was suspended due 
to damage from Hurricane Katrina. Beneficiaries still remaining in those areas 
could pick up their checks at those locations. 35

A LOOK AT PAST EXAMS 
 
 Read the text in order to answer the questions below 
 
THE EURO 
 The Euro is the European Union’s single currency, adopted by the Treaty 
on European Union which came into force in November 1993. The name Euro 
was preferred to any other as its shared identity with Europe is clear. Besides, 
the name cannot be confused with any existing or previous national currency. 
 Economic and Monetary Unit is essential for the efficient functioning of 
the single European market. EU members do more than 70% of their trade with 
each other and will do even more with a single stable currency. As a stable 
currency, the Euro will help to create a stronger economy capable of growing at 
a faster rate. Faster growth is needed to put more people back to work and 
achieve a rising standard of living for individuals and families. The Euro will 
bring real practical benefits as it will be a lot easier to compare prices for the 
same goods in different countries. In addition, business organizations will no 
longer have the expenses of handling several different currencies, cutting down 
the cost of doing business. 
 Though without the Euro bills and coins, the monetary union can start on 
1 January1999.Because a lot of economic activities are done without cash, many 
transactions can be made and sealed in the Euro before I January 2002, when 
the Euro bills and coins will start circulating. But any existing and previous 
national currency will still be in use for up to six months after that. (Compiled 
from: Talking about the Euro” [UFC-97] 
 
1) The sentence, “Any reduction in costs can make a company more competitive 
and frequently able to pass on the benefits to its customers.” was deliberately 
omitted from the text. Find the most appropriate place in the second 
paragraph to insert it: 
 
a) after “stable currency” (L- 7) 
b) after “faster rate” (L- 9) 
c) after “individuals and families” (L- 10) 
d) after “different countries” (L- 12) 
e) after “doing business” (L- 14)
