Question number 1 to 2 are based on the following text.

Time is a very important commodity when you are a university student; there simply never
seem to be enough of it to go around. You will need to attend classes, study, complete
homework assignments, work on research, eat, sleep, perhaps hold down a part-time job, and
maybe actually find time to relax for a moment or two. If you manage your time wisely, you
will find that there is enough time to do all these things. One valuable tool in time
management is to monitor how you spend your time for a week.

Then, after you spend a week monitoring your time, you can evaluate what you have done
with your time and learn to make the best use of it. During the week of personal time
monitoring, you should divide each twenty-four hour day into fifteen minute blocks, so each
day has ninety-six blocks of time. Then, write down how you spend each fifteen-minute
period. At the end of a week, you will see just how much time you have spent productively
and how much time you have not.

Question number 3 to 4 are based on the following text.

In the animal world, when any species becomes overpopulated, naturalists observe that the
animals begin fighting among themselves and become cannibalistic. Sociologists have been

today. Still, when he took this idea to several existing shoe companies, he was literally
laughed at. In fact, every single company turned him down. Though rather disappointed,
Bowerman was determined and went on to form his own company, making NIKE athletic
shoes.

Question number 7 to 8 are based on the following text.

One reason diets fail is that low-fat foods can simply lack flavour. So what if you put fat back
in the diet? Kathy McManus, a dietician at the Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston,
suggests that people should be educated to select healthy fast food so that they can sustain
their diet. She conducted a study where she asked a group of people to avoid saturated fat and
eliminate all transfat found in fast food and packed biscuits, instead the dieters chose
heart-healthy fats like nuts, olive oil, and avocados. By the end of the study, these people has
lost an average four kilograms. McManus suspects people found this kind of diet easier to
stick with because they could choose better-tasting food, use regular salad, and cook
vegetable in oil.

Question number 9 to 10 are based on the following text.

Modern attitudes to Roman civilization range from the infinitely impressed to the thoroughly
disgusted. As always, there are the power worshippers, especially among historians, who are
predisposed to admire whatever is strong, who feel more attracted to the might of Rome than
to the subtlety of Greece. At the same time, there is a solid body of opinion that dislikes
Rome. For many, Rome is at best the imitator and the continuator of Greece on a larger scale.
Greek civilization had quality; Rome, mere quantity. Greece was original; Rome, derivative.
Greece had style; Rome had money. Greece was the inventor; Rome, the research and
development division. Such indeed was the opinion of some of the more intellectual Romans.
"Had the Greeks held novelty in such disdain as we," asked Horace in his Epistles, "what
work of ancient date would now exist?"

Question number 11 to 12 are based on the following text.

Stress is an experience that puts pressure or requirement on us. That pressure means we have
to adjust to our new situation or environment.

Stress can last for a short period, as when a driver has to act to avoid having an accident, or, it
can last longer, as when a woman is told she has a medical problem and thus must change her
diet or daily routine in order to become well again. We all experience stress as just a nervous
or busy feeling. Other people experience stress so strongly that it may cause them to seek
professional help at a hospital. Still other people may die from experiencing so much stress
that it leads to heart disease or other serious health problems. Sometimes these health-related
problems are physical, and other times they are psychological. Some people have a
personality type that causes them to experience stress more than others.

These people are often impatient, competitive, and aggressive and are always short on time.

Question number 13 to 14 are based on the following text.

Motion sickness comes in many forms, not just sicknesses. Ninety percent of the human race
is susceptible to motion sickness. Some people become sick when they sit in the back seat of
a car; others cannot read or look at the map in any kind of moving vehicle. People get motion
sickness on airplanes, motorcycles, amusement park rides, and even on camels! Scientist
have learned that motion sickness occurs when the brain is trying to make sense of a situation
and there are too many conflicting massages. While the eyes are sending one message, the
ears are trying to send a message about balance. The skin and bone joint, sensitive to out air
pressure, send another message.

Many people who have experienced violent motion sickness try to avoid travel. But that is
not always the possible. So travelers should employ some well-known strategies to avoid
getting sick. The most useful strategy concerns food: eat a little meal before travelling and
bring along a packet of plain soda crackers to snack on regularly. Avoid alcoholic and
carbonated beverages, high-fat foods, and spices. Care in choosing the location of your seat is
another important strategy. In a car, sit in front and keep your eyes fixed on the horizon.

People who still got sick after trying these strategies can try medical help. Some rely on
over-the-counter medications, although some of them can make you sleepy. Others use
simple ginger capsules to settle their stomach. A large number of travelers use pressure bands
on their wrists.
It is not clear how these bands work, but they do prevent motion sickness.

13. A suitable title for the text is ...

A. Motion Sickness
B. Inability to Avoid Motion Sickness
C. Effect of Motion Sickness
D. The Worst Kind of Motion Sickness

A. sitting in vehicles
B. reading a book while traveling
C. waiting for the airplane to come
D. the conflicting messages received by the brain
E. watching rides in the amusement park

Question number 15 to 16 are based on the following text.

Heart disease is Western society's number-one killer. It accounts for one-third of all deaths in
America and for well over half the deaths among middle-aged men. Heart disease was
relatively rare in America at the turn of the century, but it has risen dramatically since then,
with a slight downturn in 1960.

Heart disease is often viewed as a disease of modern living, spurred on by the habits and the
stress of industrialized society. Evidence for this idea comes from the fact that non-Western
societies have relatively low rates of heart disease. And there is a higher rate of heart disease
among immigrants to America, such as Japanese-Americans and Chinese-Americans, than
among those who remain in their native country, suggesting that something about the Western
environment promotes the development of the disease.

Heart disease usually involves the formation of a fatty substance called plaque in the walls of
the coronary arteries that supply blood to the heart. If the arteries become narrowed enough
or blocked, the person may suffer a heart attack, that is death of a region of heart muscle
tissue. Among the many factors that have been found to be related to the risk of developing
heart disease are high blood pressure, a history of heart disease among one's close relatives,
cigarette smoking, being relatively overweight, and a high level of a fatty substance called
cholesterol in the blood. In addition to all of these well-established risk factors, it is now clear
that stress can have a major impact on the development of heart disease. People who
continually undergo a great deal of stress and who lack the ability to control it are at a
significantly greater risk for disease than people who undergo less stress or who can manage
stress successfully. Jobs that impose high psychological demands but they provide the worker
with little control--such as a cook, a waiter, and a hospital orderly seem to breed heart
disease.

15. There is a higher number of heart patients among Japanese and Chinese immigrants in the
U.S. because ...
A. the U.S. has the highest rate of heart disease in the world
B. they might not have been able to cope with the stress of living in an industrialized society
C. the food in the U.S. contains too much cholesterol
D. they are often unjustly treated in their adopted home country
E. they work hard to create a better life for their children

A. Fifty percent of the deaths is caused by heart disease deceased sharply.
B. In 1960 the rate of death caused by heart disease decreased sharply.
C. Thirty percent of the victims of heart disease were men.
D. Heart disease has always been rare among American citizens.
E. More than fifty percent of people in their 40s died of heart disease.
