SAMPLE SECTION A. Read the passage below and answer the associated questions by choosing the best answer and marking your answer sheet accordingly.

La culture influence la santé et la médecine ? Certainement. Par exemple, en France, tout le monde parle de son foie (liver). Les Français disent souvent, « J’ai mal au foie. » Aux Etats-Unis, on n’entend jamais dire ça. Pourquoi? Parce qu’aux Etats-Unis, une maladie du foie, c’est grave. Mais quand un Français dit qu’il a mal au foie, il veut dire tout simplement qu’il a un trouble digestif. Rien de grave. Il n’est peut-être pas dans son assiette aujourd’hui, mais il va vite être sur pied!

Aux Etats-Unis, par contre, on parle beaucoup d’allergies. De nombreux Américains souffrent d’une petite allergie. Les symptômes d’une allergie ressemblent aux symptômes d’un rhume. On éternue et on a souvent mal à la tête. Une allergie, c’est désagréable, mais d’habitude ce n’est pas grave. En France, on parle moins souvent d’allergies. Pourquoi? Qui sait? Vive la différence!

16. Quand un Français dit qu’il a mal au foie, ça veut dire qu’…f) il a mal à l’estomacg) il doit aller à l’hôpitalh) il va mourir

17. Aux Etats-Unis les Américains souffrent de/d’…a) maladie de foieb) maladie de cœur c) allergies
