WAYS TO IMPROVE YOUR MEMORY
A good memory is often seen as something that comes naturally, and a bad memory as something
that cannot be changed, but actually (31)
is a lot that you can do to improve your memory.
We all remember the things we are interested in and forget the ones that bore us. This no doubt
schoolboys remember football results effortlessly but struggle with
explains the reason (32)
dates from their history lessons! Take an active interest in what you want to remember, and focus on
it (33)
. One way to make yourself more interested is to ask questions - the more the better!
Physical exercise is also important for your memory, because it increases your heart (34)
and
sends more oxygen to your brain, and that makes your memory work better. Exercise also reduces
stress, which is very bad for the memory.
The old saying that "eating fish makes you brainy" may be true after all. Scientists have discovered
that the fats (35)
in fish like tuna, sardines and salmon as well as in olive oil help to
improve the memory. Vitamin-rich fruits such as oranges, strawberries and red grapes are all good
brain food, too.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate
the correct answer to each of the questions from 36 to 42.
It used to be that people would drink coffee or tea in the morning to pick them up and get them going
for the day. Then cola drinks hit the market. With lots of caffeine and sugar, these beverages soon
became the pick-me-up of choice for many adults and teenagers. Now drink companies are putting
out so-called "energy drinks." These beverages have the specific aim of giving tired consumers more
energy.
One example of a popular energy drink is Red Bull. The company that puts out this beverage has
stated in interviews that Red Bull is not a thirst quencher. Nor is it meant to be a fluid replacement
drink for athletes. Instead, the beverage is meant to revitalize a tired consumers body and mind.
In order to do this, the makers of Red Bull, and other energy drinks, typically add vitamins and
certain chemicals to their beverages. The added chemicals are like chemicals that the body naturally
produces for energy. The vitamins, chemicals, caffeine, and sugar found in these beverages all seem
like a sure bet to give a person energy.
Health professionals are not so sure, though. For one thing, there is not enough evidence to show
that all of the vitamins added to energy drinks actually raise a persons energy level. Another problem
is that there are so many things in the beverages. Nobody knows for sure how all of the ingredients
in energy drinks work together.
Dr. Brent Bauer, one of the directors at the Mayo Clinic in the US, cautions people about believing all
the claims energy drinks make. He says, "It is plausible if you put all these things together, you will
get a good result." However, Dr. Bauer adds the mix of ingredients could also have a negative impact
on the body. "We just dont know at this point", he says.
(Source: "Reading Challenge 2", Casey Malarcher & Andrea Janzen, Compass Publishing)
Question 36. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. Bauer does not seem to believe the claims of energy drink makers.
B. Colas have been on the market longer than energy drinks.
C. It has been scientifically proved that energy drinks work.

gives people energy?
A. Natural chemicals in a persons body
B. The average age of the consumer
C. The number of beverage makers
D. The mixture of various ingredients
Question 41. What has Dr. Bauer probably researched?
A. Countries where Red Bull is popular
C. Habits of healthy and unhealthy adults

B. Energy drinks for teenage athletes

D. Vitamins and chemicals in the body

Question 42. What is the main idea of this passage?

C. Red Bull is the best energy drink.
D. Teenagers should not choose energy drinks.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate
the correct answer to each of the questions from 43 to 50
What is extreme weather? Why are people talking about it these days? Extreme weather is an
unusual weather event such as rainfall, a drought or a heat wave in the wrong place or at the wrong
time. In theory, they are very rare. But these days, our TV screens are constantly showing such
extreme weather events. Take just three news stories from 2010: 28 centimetres of rain fell on Rio
de Janeiro in 24 hours, Nashville, USA, had 33 centimetres of rain in two days and there was record
rainfall in Pakistan.
The effects of this kind of rainfall are dramatic and lethal. In Rio de Janeiro, landslides followed,
burying hundreds of people. In Pakistan, the floods affected 20 million people. Meanwhile, other
parts of the world suffer devastating droughts. Australia, Russia and East Africa have been hit in the
last ten years. And then there are unexpected heat waves, such as in 2003 in Europe. That summer,
35,000 deaths were said to be heat-related.
So, what is happening to our weather? Are these extreme events part of a natural cycle? Or are
they caused by human activity and its effects on the Earths climate? Peter Miller says its probably a
mixture of both of these things. On the one hand, the most important influences on weather events are
and La Nina,
originate
natural cycles in the climate. Two of the most famous weather cycles, El Nino
in the Pacific Ocean. The heat from the warm ocean rises high into the atmosphere and affects
weather all around the world. On the other hand, the temperature of the Earths oceans is slowly but
steadily going up. And this is a result of human activity. We are producing greenhouse gases that
trap heat in the Earths atmosphere. This heat warms up the atmosphere, land and oceans. Warmer
oceans produce more water vapour - think of heating a pan of water in your kitchen. Turn up the heat,
it produces steam more quickly. Satellite data tells us that the water vapour in the atmosphere has
gone up by four percent in 25 years. This warm, wet air turns into the rain, storms, hurricanes and
typhoons that we are increasingly experiencing. Climate scientist, Michael Oppenheimer, says that
we need to face the reality of climate change. And we also need to act now to save lives and money
in the future.

WAYS TO IMPROVE YOUR MEMORY
A good memory is often seen as something that comes naturally, and a bad memory as something
that cannot be changed, but actually (31)
is a lot that you can do to improve your memory.
We all remember the things we are interested in and forget the ones that bore us. This no doubt
explains the reason (32)
schoolboys remember football results effortlessly but struggle with
dates from their history lessons! Take an active interest in what you want to remember, and focus on
it (33)
. One way to make yourself more interested is to ask questions - the more the better!
and
Physical exercise is also important for your memory, because it increases your heart (34)
sends more oxygen to your brain, and that makes your memory work better. Exercise also reduces
stress, which is very bad for the memory.
The old saying that "eating fish makes you brainy" may be true after all. Scientists have discovered
that the fats (35)
in fish like tuna, sardines and salmon as well as in olive oil help to
improve the memory. Vitamin-rich fruits such as oranges, strawberries and red grapes are all good
brain food, too.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate
the correct answer to each of the questions from 36 to 42.
It used to be that people would drink coffee or tea in the morning to pick them up and get them going
for the day. Then cola drinks hit the market. With lots of caffeine and sugar, these beverages soon
became the pick-me-up of choice for many adults and teenagers. Now drink companies are putting
out so-called "energy drinks." These beverages have the specific aim of giving tired consumers more
energy.
One example of a popular energy drink is Red Bull. The company that puts out this beverage has
stated in interviews that Red Bull is not a thirst quencher. Nor is it meant to be a fluid replacement
drink for athletes. Instead, the beverage is meant to revitalize a tired consumers body and mind.
In order to do this, the makers of Red Bull, and other energy drinks, typically add vitamins and
certain chemicals to their beverages. The added chemicals are like chemicals that the body naturally
produces for energy. The vitamins, chemicals, caffeine, and sugar found in these beverages all seem
like a sure bet to give a person energy.
Health professionals are not so sure, though. For one thing, there is not enough evidence to show
that all of the vitamins added to energy drinks actually raise a persons energy level. Another problem
is that there are so many things in the beverages. Nobody knows for sure how all of the ingredients
in energy drinks work together.
Dr. Brent Bauer, one of the directors at the Mayo Clinic in the US, cautions people about believing all
the claims energy drinks make. He says, "It is plausible if you put all these things together, you will
get a good result." However, Dr. Bauer adds the mix of ingredients could also have a negative impact
on the body. "We just dont know at this point", he says.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate
the correct answer to each of the questions from 43 to 50
What is extreme weather? Why are people talking about it these days? Extreme weather is an
unusual weather event such as rainfall, a drought or a heat wave in the wrong place or at the wrong
time. In theory, they are very rare. But these days, our TV screens are constantly showing such
extreme weather events. Take just three news stories from 2010: 28 centimetres of rain fell on Rio
de Janeiro in 24 hours, Nashville, USA, had 33 centimetres of rain in two days and there was record
rainfall in Pakistan.
The effects of this kind of rainfall are dramatic and lethal. In Rio de Janeiro, landslides followed,
burying hundreds of people. In Pakistan, the floods affected 20 million people. Meanwhile, other
parts of the world suffer devastating droughts. Australia, Russia and East Africa have been hit in the
last ten years. And then there are unexpected heat waves, such as in 2003 in Europe. That summer,
35,000 deaths were said to be heat-related.
So, what is happening to our weather? Are these extreme events part of a natural cycle? Or are
they caused by human activity and its effects on the Earths climate? Peter Miller says its probably a
mixture of both of these things. On the one hand, the most important influences on weather events are
and La Nina,
originate
natural cycles in the climate. Two of the most famous weather cycles, El Nino
in the Pacific Ocean. The heat from the warm ocean rises high into the atmosphere and affects
weather all around the world. On the other hand, the temperature of the Earths oceans is slowly but
steadily going up. And this is a result of human activity. We are producing greenhouse gases that
trap heat in the Earths atmosphere. This heat warms up the atmosphere, land and oceans. Warmer
oceans produce more water vapour - think of heating a pan of water in your kitchen. Turn up the heat,
it produces steam more quickly. Satellite data tells us that the water vapour in the atmosphere has
gone up by four percent in 25 years. This warm, wet air turns into the rain, storms, hurricanes and
typhoons that we are increasingly experiencing. Climate scientist, Michael Oppenheimer, says that
we need to face the reality of climate change. And we also need to act now to save lives and money
in the future.

WAYS TO IMPROVE YOUR MEMORY
A good memory is often seen as something that comes naturally, and a bad memory as something
that cannot be changed, but actually (31)
is a lot that you can do to improve your memory.
We all remember the things we are interested in and forget the ones that bore us. This no doubt
schoolboys remember football results effortlessly but struggle with
explains the reason (32)
dates from their history lessons! Take an active interest in what you want to remember, and focus on
it (33)
. One way to make yourself more interested is to ask questions - the more the better!
Physical exercise is also important for your memory, because it increases your heart (34)
and
sends more oxygen to your brain, and that makes your memory work better. Exercise also reduces
stress, which is very bad for the memory.
The old saying that "eating fish makes you brainy" may be true after all. Scientists have discovered
that the fats (35)
in fish like tuna, sardines and salmon as well as in olive oil help to
improve the memory. Vitamin-rich fruits such as oranges, strawberries and red grapes are all good
brain food, too.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate
the correct answer to each of the questions from 36 to 42.
It used to be that people would drink coffee or tea in the morning to pick them up and get them going
for the day. Then cola drinks hit the market. With lots of caffeine and sugar, these beverages soon
became the pick-me-up of choice for many adults and teenagers. Now drink companies are putting
out so-called "energy drinks." These beverages have the specific aim of giving tired consumers more
energy.
One example of a popular energy drink is Red Bull. The company that puts out this beverage has
stated in interviews that Red Bull is not a thirst quencher. Nor is it meant to be a fluid replacement
drink for athletes. Instead, the beverage is meant to revitalize a tired consumers body and mind.
In order to do this, the makers of Red Bull, and other energy drinks, typically add vitamins and
certain chemicals to their beverages. The added chemicals are like chemicals that the body naturally
produces for energy. The vitamins, chemicals, caffeine, and sugar found in these beverages all seem
like a sure bet to give a person energy.
Health professionals are not so sure, though. For one thing, there is not enough evidence to show
that all of the vitamins added to energy drinks actually raise a persons energy level. Another problem
is that there are so many things in the beverages. Nobody knows for sure how all of the ingredients
in energy drinks work together.
Dr. Brent Bauer, one of the directors at the Mayo Clinic in the US, cautions people about believing all
the claims energy drinks make. He says, "It is plausible if you put all these things together, you will
get a good result." However, Dr. Bauer adds the mix of ingredients could also have a negative impact
on the body. "We just dont know at this point", he says.

Question 36. What is the main idea of this passage?
A. Caffeine is bad for people to drink.
B. Red Bull is the best energy drink.
C. It is uncertain whether energy drinks are healthy.
D. Teenagers should not choose energy drinks.
Question 37. According to the passage, what makes it difficult for researchers to know if an energy drink
gives people energy?
A. Natural chemicals in a persons body
B. The number of beverage makers
C. The average age of the consumer
D. The mixture of various ingredients
Question 38. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. Bauer does not seem to believe the claims of energy drink makers.
B. It has been scientifically proved that energy drinks work.
C. Colas have been on the market longer than energy drinks.
D. The makers of Red Bull say that it can revitalize a person.
Question 39. What has Dr. Bauer probably researched?
A. Countries where Red Bull is popular
C. Energy drinks for teenage athletes

B. Habits of healthy and unhealthy adults

D. Vitamins and chemicals in the body

Question 40. The word "plausible" in the passage is closest in meaning to

A. impossible
B. typical
C. reasonable

.
D. unlikely

Question 41. The word it in the second paragraph refers to

.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate
the correct answer to each of the questions from 43 to 50
What is extreme weather? Why are people talking about it these days? Extreme weather is an
unusual weather event such as rainfall, a drought or a heat wave in the wrong place or at the wrong
time. In theory, they are very rare. But these days, our TV screens are constantly showing such
extreme weather events. Take just three news stories from 2010: 28 centimetres of rain fell on Rio
de Janeiro in 24 hours, Nashville, USA, had 33 centimetres of rain in two days and there was record
rainfall in Pakistan.
The effects of this kind of rainfall are dramatic and lethal. In Rio de Janeiro, landslides followed,
burying hundreds of people. In Pakistan, the floods affected 20 million people. Meanwhile, other
parts of the world suffer devastating droughts. Australia, Russia and East Africa have been hit in the
last ten years. And then there are unexpected heat waves, such as in 2003 in Europe. That summer,
35,000 deaths were said to be heat-related.
So, what is happening to our weather? Are these extreme events part of a natural cycle? Or are
they caused by human activity and its effects on the Earths climate? Peter Miller says its probably a
mixture of both of these things. On the one hand, the most important influences on weather events are
and La Nina,
originate
natural cycles in the climate. Two of the most famous weather cycles, El Nino
in the Pacific Ocean. The heat from the warm ocean rises high into the atmosphere and affects
weather all around the world. On the other hand, the temperature of the Earths oceans is slowly but
steadily going up. And this is a result of human activity. We are producing greenhouse gases that
trap heat in the Earths atmosphere. This heat warms up the atmosphere, land and oceans. Warmer
oceans produce more water vapour - think of heating a pan of water in your kitchen. Turn up the heat,
it produces steam more quickly. Satellite data tells us that the water vapour in the atmosphere has
gone up by four percent in 25 years. This warm, wet air turns into the rain, storms, hurricanes and
typhoons that we are increasingly experiencing. Climate scientist, Michael Oppenheimer, says that
we need to face the reality of climate change. And we also need to act now to save lives and money
in the future.

stated in interviews that Red Bull is not a thirst quencher. Nor is it meant to be a fluid replacement
drink for athletes. Instead, the beverage is meant to revitalize a tired consumers body and mind.
In order to do this, the makers of Red Bull, and other energy drinks, typically add vitamins and
certain chemicals to their beverages. The added chemicals are like chemicals that the body naturally
produces for energy. The vitamins, chemicals, caffeine, and sugar found in these beverages all seem
like a sure bet to give a person energy.
Health professionals are not so sure, though. For one thing, there is not enough evidence to show
that all of the vitamins added to energy drinks actually raise a persons energy level. Another problem
is that there are so many things in the beverages. Nobody knows for sure how all of the ingredients
in energy drinks work together.
Dr. Brent Bauer, one of the directors at the Mayo Clinic in the US, cautions people about believing all
the claims energy drinks make. He says, "It is plausible if you put all these things together, you will
get a good result." However, Dr. Bauer adds the mix of ingredients could also have a negative impact
on the body. "We just dont know at this point", he says.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate
the correct answer to each of the questions from 43 to 50
What is extreme weather? Why are people talking about it these days? Extreme weather is an
unusual weather event such as rainfall, a drought or a heat wave in the wrong place or at the wrong
time. In theory, they are very rare. But these days, our TV screens are constantly showing such
extreme weather events. Take just three news stories from 2010: 28 centimetres of rain fell on Rio
de Janeiro in 24 hours, Nashville, USA, had 33 centimetres of rain in two days and there was record
rainfall in Pakistan.
The effects of this kind of rainfall are dramatic and lethal. In Rio de Janeiro, landslides followed,
burying hundreds of people. In Pakistan, the floods affected 20 million people. Meanwhile, other
parts of the world suffer devastating droughts. Australia, Russia and East Africa have been hit in the
last ten years. And then there are unexpected heat waves, such as in 2003 in Europe. That summer,
35,000 deaths were said to be heat-related.
So, what is happening to our weather? Are these extreme events part of a natural cycle? Or are
they caused by human activity and its effects on the Earths climate? Peter Miller says its probably a
mixture of both of these things. On the one hand, the most important influences on weather events are
and La Nina,
originate
natural cycles in the climate. Two of the most famous weather cycles, El Nino
in the Pacific Ocean. The heat from the warm ocean rises high into the atmosphere and affects
weather all around the world. On the other hand, the temperature of the Earths oceans is slowly but
steadily going up. And this is a result of human activity. We are producing greenhouse gases that
trap heat in the Earths atmosphere. This heat warms up the atmosphere, land and oceans. Warmer
oceans produce more water vapour - think of heating a pan of water in your kitchen. Turn up the heat,
it produces steam more quickly. Satellite data tells us that the water vapour in the atmosphere has
gone up by four percent in 25 years. This warm, wet air turns into the rain, storms, hurricanes and
typhoons that we are increasingly experiencing. Climate scientist, Michael Oppenheimer, says that
we need to face the reality of climate change. And we also need to act now to save lives and money
in the future.

WAYS TO IMPROVE YOUR MEMORY
A good memory is often seen as something that comes naturally, and a bad memory as something
that cannot be changed, but actually (31)
is a lot that you can do to improve your memory.
We all remember the things we are interested in and forget the ones that bore us. This no doubt
explains the reason (32)
schoolboys remember football results effortlessly but struggle with
dates from their history lessons! Take an active interest in what you want to remember, and focus on
it (33)
. One way to make yourself more interested is to ask questions - the more the better!
Physical exercise is also important for your memory, because it increases your heart (34)
and
sends more oxygen to your brain, and that makes your memory work better. Exercise also reduces
stress, which is very bad for the memory.
The old saying that "eating fish makes you brainy" may be true after all. Scientists have discovered
that the fats (35)
in fish like tuna, sardines and salmon as well as in olive oil help to
improve the memory. Vitamin-rich fruits such as oranges, strawberries and red grapes are all good
brain food, too.

WAYS TO IMPROVE YOUR MEMORY
A good memory is often seen as something that comes naturally, and a bad memory as something
that cannot be changed, but actually (31)
is a lot that you can do to improve your memory.
We all remember the things we are interested in and forget the ones that bore us. This no doubt
explains the reason (32)
schoolboys remember football results effortlessly but struggle with
dates from their history lessons! Take an active interest in what you want to remember, and focus on
it (33)
. One way to make yourself more interested is to ask questions - the more the better!
Physical exercise is also important for your memory, because it increases your heart (34)
and
sends more oxygen to your brain, and that makes your memory work better. Exercise also reduces
stress, which is very bad for the memory.
The old saying that "eating fish makes you brainy" may be true after all. Scientists have discovered
that the fats (35)
in fish like tuna, sardines and salmon as well as in olive oil help to
improve the memory. Vitamin-rich fruits such as oranges, strawberries and red grapes are all good
brain food, too.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate
the correct answer to each of the questions from 36 to 42.
It used to be that people would drink coffee or tea in the morning to pick them up and get them going
for the day. Then cola drinks hit the market. With lots of caffeine and sugar, these beverages soon
became the pick-me-up of choice for many adults and teenagers. Now drink companies are putting
out so-called "energy drinks." These beverages have the specific aim of giving tired consumers more
energy.
One example of a popular energy drink is Red Bull. The company that puts out this beverage has
stated in interviews that Red Bull is not a thirst quencher. Nor is it meant to be a fluid replacement
drink for athletes. Instead, the beverage is meant to revitalize a tired consumers body and mind.
In order to do this, the makers of Red Bull, and other energy drinks, typically add vitamins and
certain chemicals to their beverages. The added chemicals are like chemicals that the body naturally
produces for energy. The vitamins, chemicals, caffeine, and sugar found in these beverages all seem
like a sure bet to give a person energy.
Health professionals are not so sure, though. For one thing, there is not enough evidence to show
that all of the vitamins added to energy drinks actually raise a persons energy level. Another problem
is that there are so many things in the beverages. Nobody knows for sure how all of the ingredients
in energy drinks work together.
Dr. Brent Bauer, one of the directors at the Mayo Clinic in the US, cautions people about believing all
the claims energy drinks make. He says, "It is plausible if you put all these things together, you will
get a good result." However, Dr. Bauer adds the mix of ingredients could also have a negative impact
on the body. "We just dont know at this point", he says.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate
the correct answer to each of the questions from 43 to 50
What is extreme weather? Why are people talking about it these days? Extreme weather is an
unusual weather event such as rainfall, a drought or a heat wave in the wrong place or at the wrong
time. In theory, they are very rare. But these days, our TV screens are constantly showing such
extreme weather events. Take just three news stories from 2010: 28 centimetres of rain fell on Rio
de Janeiro in 24 hours, Nashville, USA, had 33 centimetres of rain in two days and there was record
rainfall in Pakistan.
The effects of this kind of rainfall are dramatic and lethal. In Rio de Janeiro, landslides followed,
burying hundreds of people. In Pakistan, the floods affected 20 million people. Meanwhile, other
parts of the world suffer devastating droughts. Australia, Russia and East Africa have been hit in the
last ten years. And then there are unexpected heat waves, such as in 2003 in Europe. That summer,
35,000 deaths were said to be heat-related.
So, what is happening to our weather? Are these extreme events part of a natural cycle? Or are
they caused by human activity and its effects on the Earths climate? Peter Miller says its probably a
mixture of both of these things. On the one hand, the most important influences on weather events are
and La Nina,
originate
natural cycles in the climate. Two of the most famous weather cycles, El Nino
in the Pacific Ocean. The heat from the warm ocean rises high into the atmosphere and affects
weather all around the world. On the other hand, the temperature of the Earths oceans is slowly but
steadily going up. And this is a result of human activity. We are producing greenhouse gases that
trap heat in the Earths atmosphere. This heat warms up the atmosphere, land and oceans. Warmer
oceans produce more water vapour - think of heating a pan of water in your kitchen. Turn up the heat,
it produces steam more quickly. Satellite data tells us that the water vapour in the atmosphere has
gone up by four percent in 25 years. This warm, wet air turns into the rain, storms, hurricanes and
typhoons that we are increasingly experiencing. Climate scientist, Michael Oppenheimer, says that
we need to face the reality of climate change. And we also need to act now to save lives and money
in the future.

The effects of this kind of rainfall are dramatic and lethal. In Rio de Janeiro, landslides followed,
burying hundreds of people. In Pakistan, the floods affected 20 million people. Meanwhile, other
parts of the world suffer devastating droughts. Australia, Russia and East Africa have been hit in the
last ten years. And then there are unexpected heat waves, such as in 2003 in Europe. That summer,
35,000 deaths were said to be heat-related.
So, what is happening to our weather? Are these extreme events part of a natural cycle? Or are
they caused by human activity and its effects on the Earths climate? Peter Miller says its probably a
mixture of both of these things. On the one hand, the most important influences on weather events are
and La Nina,
originate
natural cycles in the climate. Two of the most famous weather cycles, El Nino
in the Pacific Ocean. The heat from the warm ocean rises high into the atmosphere and affects
weather all around the world. On the other hand, the temperature of the Earths oceans is slowly but
steadily going up. And this is a result of human activity. We are producing greenhouse gases that
trap heat in the Earths atmosphere. This heat warms up the atmosphere, land and oceans. Warmer
oceans produce more water vapour - think of heating a pan of water in your kitchen. Turn up the heat,
it produces steam more quickly. Satellite data tells us that the water vapour in the atmosphere has
gone up by four percent in 25 years. This warm, wet air turns into the rain, storms, hurricanes and
typhoons that we are increasingly experiencing. Climate scientist, Michael Oppenheimer, says that
we need to face the reality of climate change. And we also need to act now to save lives and money
in the future.

WAYS TO IMPROVE YOUR MEMORY
A good memory is often seen as something that comes naturally, and a bad memory as something
that cannot be changed, but actually (31)
is a lot that you can do to improve your memory.
We all remember the things we are interested in and forget the ones that bore us. This no doubt
explains the reason (32)
schoolboys remember football results effortlessly but struggle with
dates from their history lessons! Take an active interest in what you want to remember, and focus on
it (33)
. One way to make yourself more interested is to ask questions - the more the better!
and
Physical exercise is also important for your memory, because it increases your heart (34)
sends more oxygen to your brain, and that makes your memory work better. Exercise also reduces
stress, which is very bad for the memory.
The old saying that "eating fish makes you brainy" may be true after all. Scientists have discovered
that the fats (35)
in fish like tuna, sardines and salmon as well as in olive oil help to
improve the memory. Vitamin-rich fruits such as oranges, strawberries and red grapes are all good
brain food, too.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate
the correct answer to each of the questions from 36 to 42.
It used to be that people would drink coffee or tea in the morning to pick them up and get them going
for the day. Then cola drinks hit the market. With lots of caffeine and sugar, these beverages soon
became the pick-me-up of choice for many adults and teenagers. Now drink companies are putting
out so-called "energy drinks." These beverages have the specific aim of giving tired consumers more
energy.
One example of a popular energy drink is Red Bull. The company that puts out this beverage has
stated in interviews that Red Bull is not a thirst quencher. Nor is it meant to be a fluid replacement
drink for athletes. Instead, the beverage is meant to revitalize a tired consumers body and mind.
In order to do this, the makers of Red Bull, and other energy drinks, typically add vitamins and
certain chemicals to their beverages. The added chemicals are like chemicals that the body naturally
produces for energy. The vitamins, chemicals, caffeine, and sugar found in these beverages all seem
like a sure bet to give a person energy.
Health professionals are not so sure, though. For one thing, there is not enough evidence to show
that all of the vitamins added to energy drinks actually raise a persons energy level. Another problem
is that there are so many things in the beverages. Nobody knows for sure how all of the ingredients
in energy drinks work together.
Dr. Brent Bauer, one of the directors at the Mayo Clinic in the US, cautions people about believing all
the claims energy drinks make. He says, "It is plausible if you put all these things together, you will
get a good result." However, Dr. Bauer adds the mix of ingredients could also have a negative impact
on the body. "We just dont know at this point", he says.

Question 36. The word "plausible" in the passage is closest in meaning to
A. unlikely
B. reasonable
C. impossible

.
D. typical

Question 37. What is the main idea of this passage?

A. Teenagers should not choose energy drinks.
B. It is uncertain whether energy drinks are healthy.
C. Caffeine is bad for people to drink.
D. Red Bull is the best energy drink.
Question 38. The word it in the second paragraph refers to
.
A. thirst quencher
B. the company
C. one example
Question 39. What has Dr. Bauer probably researched?
A. Vitamins and chemicals in the body
C. Countries where Red Bull is popular

D. Red Bull

B. Energy drinks for teenage athletes

D. Habits of healthy and unhealthy adults

Question 40. According to the passage, what makes it difficult for researchers to know if an energy drink
gives people energy?
A. The mixture of various ingredients
B. The average age of the consumer
C. Natural chemicals in a persons body
D. The number of beverage makers
Question 41. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. The makers of Red Bull say that it can revitalize a person.
B. Colas have been on the market longer than energy drinks.
C. Bauer does not seem to believe the claims of energy drink makers.
D. It has been scientifically proved that energy drinks work.
Question 42. The beverages mentioned in the first paragraph aim to give consumers
A. more choices
B. sugar

the correct answer to each of the questions from 43 to 50
What is extreme weather? Why are people talking about it these days? Extreme weather is an
unusual weather event such as rainfall, a drought or a heat wave in the wrong place or at the wrong
time. In theory, they are very rare. But these days, our TV screens are constantly showing such
extreme weather events. Take just three news stories from 2010: 28 centimetres of rain fell on Rio
de Janeiro in 24 hours, Nashville, USA, had 33 centimetres of rain in two days and there was record
rainfall in Pakistan.
The effects of this kind of rainfall are dramatic and lethal. In Rio de Janeiro, landslides followed,
burying hundreds of people. In Pakistan, the floods affected 20 million people. Meanwhile, other

WAYS TO IMPROVE YOUR MEMORY
A good memory is often seen as something that comes naturally, and a bad memory as something
that cannot be changed, but actually (31)
is a lot that you can do to improve your memory.
We all remember the things we are interested in and forget the ones that bore us. This no doubt
explains the reason (32)
schoolboys remember football results effortlessly but struggle with
dates from their history lessons! Take an active interest in what you want to remember, and focus on
it (33)
. One way to make yourself more interested is to ask questions - the more the better!
Physical exercise is also important for your memory, because it increases your heart (34)
and
sends more oxygen to your brain, and that makes your memory work better. Exercise also reduces
stress, which is very bad for the memory.
The old saying that "eating fish makes you brainy" may be true after all. Scientists have discovered
that the fats (35)
in fish like tuna, sardines and salmon as well as in olive oil help to
improve the memory. Vitamin-rich fruits such as oranges, strawberries and red grapes are all good
brain food, too.

the correct answer to each of the questions from 36 to 42.
It used to be that people would drink coffee or tea in the morning to pick them up and get them going
for the day. Then cola drinks hit the market. With lots of caffeine and sugar, these beverages soon
became the pick-me-up of choice for many adults and teenagers. Now drink companies are putting
out so-called "energy drinks." These beverages have the specific aim of giving tired consumers more
energy.
One example of a popular energy drink is Red Bull. The company that puts out this beverage has
stated in interviews that Red Bull is not a thirst quencher. Nor is it meant to be a fluid replacement
drink for athletes. Instead, the beverage is meant to revitalize a tired consumers body and mind.
In order to do this, the makers of Red Bull, and other energy drinks, typically add vitamins and
certain chemicals to their beverages. The added chemicals are like chemicals that the body naturally
produces for energy. The vitamins, chemicals, caffeine, and sugar found in these beverages all seem
like a sure bet to give a person energy.
Health professionals are not so sure, though. For one thing, there is not enough evidence to show
that all of the vitamins added to energy drinks actually raise a persons energy level. Another problem
is that there are so many things in the beverages. Nobody knows for sure how all of the ingredients
in energy drinks work together.
Dr. Brent Bauer, one of the directors at the Mayo Clinic in the US, cautions people about believing all
the claims energy drinks make. He says, "It is plausible if you put all these things together, you will
get a good result." However, Dr. Bauer adds the mix of ingredients could also have a negative impact
on the body. "We just dont know at this point", he says.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate
the correct answer to each of the questions from 43 to 50
What is extreme weather? Why are people talking about it these days? Extreme weather is an
unusual weather event such as rainfall, a drought or a heat wave in the wrong place or at the wrong
time. In theory, they are very rare. But these days, our TV screens are constantly showing such
extreme weather events. Take just three news stories from 2010: 28 centimetres of rain fell on Rio
de Janeiro in 24 hours, Nashville, USA, had 33 centimetres of rain in two days and there was record
rainfall in Pakistan.
The effects of this kind of rainfall are dramatic and lethal. In Rio de Janeiro, landslides followed,
burying hundreds of people. In Pakistan, the floods affected 20 million people. Meanwhile, other
parts of the world suffer devastating droughts. Australia, Russia and East Africa have been hit in the
last ten years. And then there are unexpected heat waves, such as in 2003 in Europe. That summer,
35,000 deaths were said to be heat-related.
So, what is happening to our weather? Are these extreme events part of a natural cycle? Or are
they caused by human activity and its effects on the Earths climate? Peter Miller says its probably a
mixture of both of these things. On the one hand, the most important influences on weather events are
and La Nina,
originate
natural cycles in the climate. Two of the most famous weather cycles, El Nino
in the Pacific Ocean. The heat from the warm ocean rises high into the atmosphere and affects
weather all around the world. On the other hand, the temperature of the Earths oceans is slowly but
steadily going up. And this is a result of human activity. We are producing greenhouse gases that
trap heat in the Earths atmosphere. This heat warms up the atmosphere, land and oceans. Warmer
oceans produce more water vapour - think of heating a pan of water in your kitchen. Turn up the heat,
it produces steam more quickly. Satellite data tells us that the water vapour in the atmosphere has
gone up by four percent in 25 years. This warm, wet air turns into the rain, storms, hurricanes and
typhoons that we are increasingly experiencing. Climate scientist, Michael Oppenheimer, says that
we need to face the reality of climate change. And we also need to act now to save lives and money
in the future.

WAYS TO IMPROVE YOUR MEMORY
A good memory is often seen as something that comes naturally, and a bad memory as something
that cannot be changed, but actually (31)
is a lot that you can do to improve your memory.
We all remember the things we are interested in and forget the ones that bore us. This no doubt
explains the reason (32)
schoolboys remember football results effortlessly but struggle with
dates from their history lessons! Take an active interest in what you want to remember, and focus on
it (33)
. One way to make yourself more interested is to ask questions - the more the better!
and
Physical exercise is also important for your memory, because it increases your heart (34)
sends more oxygen to your brain, and that makes your memory work better. Exercise also reduces
stress, which is very bad for the memory.
The old saying that "eating fish makes you brainy" may be true after all. Scientists have discovered
that the fats (35)
in fish like tuna, sardines and salmon as well as in olive oil help to
improve the memory. Vitamin-rich fruits such as oranges, strawberries and red grapes are all good
brain food, too.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate
the correct answer to each of the questions from 36 to 42.
It used to be that people would drink coffee or tea in the morning to pick them up and get them going
for the day. Then cola drinks hit the market. With lots of caffeine and sugar, these beverages soon
became the pick-me-up of choice for many adults and teenagers. Now drink companies are putting
out so-called "energy drinks." These beverages have the specific aim of giving tired consumers more
energy.
One example of a popular energy drink is Red Bull. The company that puts out this beverage has
stated in interviews that Red Bull is not a thirst quencher. Nor is it meant to be a fluid replacement
drink for athletes. Instead, the beverage is meant to revitalize a tired consumers body and mind.
In order to do this, the makers of Red Bull, and other energy drinks, typically add vitamins and
certain chemicals to their beverages. The added chemicals are like chemicals that the body naturally
produces for energy. The vitamins, chemicals, caffeine, and sugar found in these beverages all seem
like a sure bet to give a person energy.
Health professionals are not so sure, though. For one thing, there is not enough evidence to show
that all of the vitamins added to energy drinks actually raise a persons energy level. Another problem
is that there are so many things in the beverages. Nobody knows for sure how all of the ingredients
in energy drinks work together.
Dr. Brent Bauer, one of the directors at the Mayo Clinic in the US, cautions people about believing all
the claims energy drinks make. He says, "It is plausible if you put all these things together, you will
get a good result." However, Dr. Bauer adds the mix of ingredients could also have a negative impact
on the body. "We just dont know at this point", he says.
(Source: "Reading Challenge 2", Casey Malarcher & Andrea Janzen, Compass Publishing)

A. Vitamins and chemicals in the body
C. Habits of healthy and unhealthy adults

Question 38. What is the main idea of this passage?

A. Teenagers should not choose energy drinks.
B. It is uncertain whether energy drinks are healthy.

D. Caffeine is bad for people to drink.
Question 39. The word it in the second paragraph refers to
.
A. thirst quencher
B. the company
C. Red Bull

D. one example

Question 40. The beverages mentioned in the first paragraph aim to give consumers
A. more choices

B. Colas have been on the market longer than energy drinks.
C. It has been scientifically proved that energy drinks work.
D. Bauer does not seem to believe the claims of energy drink makers.

gives people energy?
A. The mixture of various ingredients
B. The average age of the consumer
C. The number of beverage makers
D. Natural chemicals in a persons body

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate
the correct answer to each of the questions from 43 to 50
What is extreme weather? Why are people talking about it these days? Extreme weather is an
unusual weather event such as rainfall, a drought or a heat wave in the wrong place or at the wrong
time. In theory, they are very rare. But these days, our TV screens are constantly showing such
extreme weather events. Take just three news stories from 2010: 28 centimetres of rain fell on Rio
de Janeiro in 24 hours, Nashville, USA, had 33 centimetres of rain in two days and there was record
rainfall in Pakistan.
The effects of this kind of rainfall are dramatic and lethal. In Rio de Janeiro, landslides followed,
burying hundreds of people. In Pakistan, the floods affected 20 million people. Meanwhile, other
parts of the world suffer devastating droughts. Australia, Russia and East Africa have been hit in the
last ten years. And then there are unexpected heat waves, such as in 2003 in Europe. That summer,
35,000 deaths were said to be heat-related.
So, what is happening to our weather? Are these extreme events part of a natural cycle? Or are
they caused by human activity and its effects on the Earths climate? Peter Miller says its probably a
mixture of both of these things. On the one hand, the most important influences on weather events are
and La Nina,
originate
natural cycles in the climate. Two of the most famous weather cycles, El Nino
in the Pacific Ocean. The heat from the warm ocean rises high into the atmosphere and affects
weather all around the world. On the other hand, the temperature of the Earths oceans is slowly but
steadily going up. And this is a result of human activity. We are producing greenhouse gases that
trap heat in the Earths atmosphere. This heat warms up the atmosphere, land and oceans. Warmer
oceans produce more water vapour - think of heating a pan of water in your kitchen. Turn up the heat,
it produces steam more quickly. Satellite data tells us that the water vapour in the atmosphere has
gone up by four percent in 25 years. This warm, wet air turns into the rain, storms, hurricanes and
typhoons that we are increasingly experiencing. Climate scientist, Michael Oppenheimer, says that
we need to face the reality of climate change. And we also need to act now to save lives and money
in the future.

The old saying that "eating fish makes you brainy" may be true after all. Scientists have discovered
that the fats (35)
in fish like tuna, sardines and salmon as well as in olive oil help to
improve the memory. Vitamin-rich fruits such as oranges, strawberries and red grapes are all good
brain food, too.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate
the correct answer to each of the questions from 36 to 42.
It used to be that people would drink coffee or tea in the morning to pick them up and get them going
for the day. Then cola drinks hit the market. With lots of caffeine and sugar, these beverages soon
became the pick-me-up of choice for many adults and teenagers. Now drink companies are putting
out so-called "energy drinks." These beverages have the specific aim of giving tired consumers more
energy.
One example of a popular energy drink is Red Bull. The company that puts out this beverage has
stated in interviews that Red Bull is not a thirst quencher. Nor is it meant to be a fluid replacement
drink for athletes. Instead, the beverage is meant to revitalize a tired consumers body and mind.
In order to do this, the makers of Red Bull, and other energy drinks, typically add vitamins and
certain chemicals to their beverages. The added chemicals are like chemicals that the body naturally
produces for energy. The vitamins, chemicals, caffeine, and sugar found in these beverages all seem
like a sure bet to give a person energy.
Health professionals are not so sure, though. For one thing, there is not enough evidence to show
that all of the vitamins added to energy drinks actually raise a persons energy level. Another problem
is that there are so many things in the beverages. Nobody knows for sure how all of the ingredients
in energy drinks work together.
Dr. Brent Bauer, one of the directors at the Mayo Clinic in the US, cautions people about believing all
the claims energy drinks make. He says, "It is plausible if you put all these things together, you will
get a good result." However, Dr. Bauer adds the mix of ingredients could also have a negative impact
on the body. "We just dont know at this point", he says.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate
the correct answer to each of the questions from 43 to 50
What is extreme weather? Why are people talking about it these days? Extreme weather is an
unusual weather event such as rainfall, a drought or a heat wave in the wrong place or at the wrong
time. In theory, they are very rare. But these days, our TV screens are constantly showing such
extreme weather events. Take just three news stories from 2010: 28 centimetres of rain fell on Rio
de Janeiro in 24 hours, Nashville, USA, had 33 centimetres of rain in two days and there was record
rainfall in Pakistan.
The effects of this kind of rainfall are dramatic and lethal. In Rio de Janeiro, landslides followed,
burying hundreds of people. In Pakistan, the floods affected 20 million people. Meanwhile, other
parts of the world suffer devastating droughts. Australia, Russia and East Africa have been hit in the
last ten years. And then there are unexpected heat waves, such as in 2003 in Europe. That summer,
35,000 deaths were said to be heat-related.
So, what is happening to our weather? Are these extreme events part of a natural cycle? Or are
they caused by human activity and its effects on the Earths climate? Peter Miller says its probably a
mixture of both of these things. On the one hand, the most important influences on weather events are
and La Nina,
originate
natural cycles in the climate. Two of the most famous weather cycles, El Nino
in the Pacific Ocean. The heat from the warm ocean rises high into the atmosphere and affects
weather all around the world. On the other hand, the temperature of the Earths oceans is slowly but
steadily going up. And this is a result of human activity. We are producing greenhouse gases that
trap heat in the Earths atmosphere. This heat warms up the atmosphere, land and oceans. Warmer
oceans produce more water vapour - think of heating a pan of water in your kitchen. Turn up the heat,
it produces steam more quickly. Satellite data tells us that the water vapour in the atmosphere has
gone up by four percent in 25 years. This warm, wet air turns into the rain, storms, hurricanes and
typhoons that we are increasingly experiencing. Climate scientist, Michael Oppenheimer, says that
we need to face the reality of climate change. And we also need to act now to save lives and money
in the future.

WAYS TO IMPROVE YOUR MEMORY
A good memory is often seen as something that comes naturally, and a bad memory as something
that cannot be changed, but actually (31)
is a lot that you can do to improve your memory.
We all remember the things we are interested in and forget the ones that bore us. This no doubt
explains the reason (32)
schoolboys remember football results effortlessly but struggle with
dates from their history lessons! Take an active interest in what you want to remember, and focus on
it (33)
. One way to make yourself more interested is to ask questions - the more the better!
Physical exercise is also important for your memory, because it increases your heart (34)
and
sends more oxygen to your brain, and that makes your memory work better. Exercise also reduces
stress, which is very bad for the memory.
The old saying that "eating fish makes you brainy" may be true after all. Scientists have discovered

WAYS TO IMPROVE YOUR MEMORY
A good memory is often seen as something that comes naturally, and a bad memory as something
that cannot be changed, but actually (31)
is a lot that you can do to improve your memory.
We all remember the things we are interested in and forget the ones that bore us. This no doubt
schoolboys remember football results effortlessly but struggle with
explains the reason (32)
dates from their history lessons! Take an active interest in what you want to remember, and focus on
it (33)
. One way to make yourself more interested is to ask questions - the more the better!
Physical exercise is also important for your memory, because it increases your heart (34)
and
sends more oxygen to your brain, and that makes your memory work better. Exercise also reduces
stress, which is very bad for the memory.
The old saying that "eating fish makes you brainy" may be true after all. Scientists have discovered
that the fats (35)
in fish like tuna, sardines and salmon as well as in olive oil help to
improve the memory. Vitamin-rich fruits such as oranges, strawberries and red grapes are all good
brain food, too.

the correct answer to each of the questions from 36 to 42.
It used to be that people would drink coffee or tea in the morning to pick them up and get them going
for the day. Then cola drinks hit the market. With lots of caffeine and sugar, these beverages soon
became the pick-me-up of choice for many adults and teenagers. Now drink companies are putting
out so-called "energy drinks." These beverages have the specific aim of giving tired consumers more
energy.
One example of a popular energy drink is Red Bull. The company that puts out this beverage has
stated in interviews that Red Bull is not a thirst quencher. Nor is it meant to be a fluid replacement
drink for athletes. Instead, the beverage is meant to revitalize a tired consumers body and mind.
In order to do this, the makers of Red Bull, and other energy drinks, typically add vitamins and
certain chemicals to their beverages. The added chemicals are like chemicals that the body naturally
produces for energy. The vitamins, chemicals, caffeine, and sugar found in these beverages all seem
like a sure bet to give a person energy.
Health professionals are not so sure, though. For one thing, there is not enough evidence to show
that all of the vitamins added to energy drinks actually raise a persons energy level. Another problem
is that there are so many things in the beverages. Nobody knows for sure how all of the ingredients
in energy drinks work together.
Dr. Brent Bauer, one of the directors at the Mayo Clinic in the US, cautions people about believing all
the claims energy drinks make. He says, "It is plausible if you put all these things together, you will
get a good result." However, Dr. Bauer adds the mix of ingredients could also have a negative impact
on the body. "We just dont know at this point", he says.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate
the correct answer to each of the questions from 43 to 50
What is extreme weather? Why are people talking about it these days? Extreme weather is an
unusual weather event such as rainfall, a drought or a heat wave in the wrong place or at the wrong
time. In theory, they are very rare. But these days, our TV screens are constantly showing such
extreme weather events. Take just three news stories from 2010: 28 centimetres of rain fell on Rio
de Janeiro in 24 hours, Nashville, USA, had 33 centimetres of rain in two days and there was record
rainfall in Pakistan.
The effects of this kind of rainfall are dramatic and lethal. In Rio de Janeiro, landslides followed,
burying hundreds of people. In Pakistan, the floods affected 20 million people. Meanwhile, other
parts of the world suffer devastating droughts. Australia, Russia and East Africa have been hit in the
last ten years. And then there are unexpected heat waves, such as in 2003 in Europe. That summer,
35,000 deaths were said to be heat-related.
So, what is happening to our weather? Are these extreme events part of a natural cycle? Or are
they caused by human activity and its effects on the Earths climate? Peter Miller says its probably a
mixture of both of these things. On the one hand, the most important influences on weather events are
and La Nina,
originate
natural cycles in the climate. Two of the most famous weather cycles, El Nino
in the Pacific Ocean. The heat from the warm ocean rises high into the atmosphere and affects
weather all around the world. On the other hand, the temperature of the Earths oceans is slowly but
steadily going up. And this is a result of human activity. We are producing greenhouse gases that
trap heat in the Earths atmosphere. This heat warms up the atmosphere, land and oceans. Warmer
oceans produce more water vapour - think of heating a pan of water in your kitchen. Turn up the heat,
it produces steam more quickly. Satellite data tells us that the water vapour in the atmosphere has
gone up by four percent in 25 years. This warm, wet air turns into the rain, storms, hurricanes and
typhoons that we are increasingly experiencing. Climate scientist, Michael Oppenheimer, says that
we need to face the reality of climate change. And we also need to act now to save lives and money
in the future.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate
the correct answer to each of the questions from 43 to 50
What is extreme weather? Why are people talking about it these days? Extreme weather is an
unusual weather event such as rainfall, a drought or a heat wave in the wrong place or at the wrong
time. In theory, they are very rare. But these days, our TV screens are constantly showing such
extreme weather events. Take just three news stories from 2010: 28 centimetres of rain fell on Rio
de Janeiro in 24 hours, Nashville, USA, had 33 centimetres of rain in two days and there was record
rainfall in Pakistan.
The effects of this kind of rainfall are dramatic and lethal. In Rio de Janeiro, landslides followed,
burying hundreds of people. In Pakistan, the floods affected 20 million people. Meanwhile, other
parts of the world suffer devastating droughts. Australia, Russia and East Africa have been hit in the
last ten years. And then there are unexpected heat waves, such as in 2003 in Europe. That summer,
35,000 deaths were said to be heat-related.
So, what is happening to our weather? Are these extreme events part of a natural cycle? Or are
they caused by human activity and its effects on the Earths climate? Peter Miller says its probably a
mixture of both of these things. On the one hand, the most important influences on weather events are
and La Nina,
originate
natural cycles in the climate. Two of the most famous weather cycles, El Nino
in the Pacific Ocean. The heat from the warm ocean rises high into the atmosphere and affects
weather all around the world. On the other hand, the temperature of the Earths oceans is slowly but
steadily going up. And this is a result of human activity. We are producing greenhouse gases that
trap heat in the Earths atmosphere. This heat warms up the atmosphere, land and oceans. Warmer
oceans produce more water vapour - think of heating a pan of water in your kitchen. Turn up the heat,
it produces steam more quickly. Satellite data tells us that the water vapour in the atmosphere has
gone up by four percent in 25 years. This warm, wet air turns into the rain, storms, hurricanes and
typhoons that we are increasingly experiencing. Climate scientist, Michael Oppenheimer, says that
we need to face the reality of climate change. And we also need to act now to save lives and money
in the future.

WAYS TO IMPROVE YOUR MEMORY
A good memory is often seen as something that comes naturally, and a bad memory as something
that cannot be changed, but actually (31)
is a lot that you can do to improve your memory.
We all remember the things we are interested in and forget the ones that bore us. This no doubt
explains the reason (32)
schoolboys remember football results effortlessly but struggle with
dates from their history lessons! Take an active interest in what you want to remember, and focus on
it (33)
. One way to make yourself more interested is to ask questions - the more the better!
and
Physical exercise is also important for your memory, because it increases your heart (34)
sends more oxygen to your brain, and that makes your memory work better. Exercise also reduces
stress, which is very bad for the memory.
The old saying that "eating fish makes you brainy" may be true after all. Scientists have discovered
that the fats (35)
in fish like tuna, sardines and salmon as well as in olive oil help to
improve the memory. Vitamin-rich fruits such as oranges, strawberries and red grapes are all good
brain food, too.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate
the correct answer to each of the questions from 36 to 42.
It used to be that people would drink coffee or tea in the morning to pick them up and get them going
for the day. Then cola drinks hit the market. With lots of caffeine and sugar, these beverages soon
became the pick-me-up of choice for many adults and teenagers. Now drink companies are putting
out so-called "energy drinks." These beverages have the specific aim of giving tired consumers more
energy.
One example of a popular energy drink is Red Bull. The company that puts out this beverage has
stated in interviews that Red Bull is not a thirst quencher. Nor is it meant to be a fluid replacement
drink for athletes. Instead, the beverage is meant to revitalize a tired consumers body and mind.
In order to do this, the makers of Red Bull, and other energy drinks, typically add vitamins and
certain chemicals to their beverages. The added chemicals are like chemicals that the body naturally
produces for energy. The vitamins, chemicals, caffeine, and sugar found in these beverages all seem
like a sure bet to give a person energy.
Health professionals are not so sure, though. For one thing, there is not enough evidence to show
that all of the vitamins added to energy drinks actually raise a persons energy level. Another problem
is that there are so many things in the beverages. Nobody knows for sure how all of the ingredients
in energy drinks work together.
Dr. Brent Bauer, one of the directors at the Mayo Clinic in the US, cautions people about believing all
the claims energy drinks make. He says, "It is plausible if you put all these things together, you will
get a good result." However, Dr. Bauer adds the mix of ingredients could also have a negative impact
on the body. "We just dont know at this point", he says.

Question 36. What is the main idea of this passage?
A. Red Bull is the best energy drink.
B. Teenagers should not choose energy drinks.
C. Caffeine is bad for people to drink.
D. It is uncertain whether energy drinks are healthy.
Question 37. What has Dr. Bauer probably researched?
A. Habits of healthy and unhealthy adults
C. Countries where Red Bull is popular

B. Vitamins and chemicals in the body

D. Energy drinks for teenage athletes

A. more energy

gives people energy?
A. The number of beverage makers

WAYS TO IMPROVE YOUR MEMORY
A good memory is often seen as something that comes naturally, and a bad memory as something
that cannot be changed, but actually (31)
is a lot that you can do to improve your memory.
We all remember the things we are interested in and forget the ones that bore us. This no doubt
schoolboys remember football results effortlessly but struggle with
explains the reason (32)
dates from their history lessons! Take an active interest in what you want to remember, and focus on
it (33)
. One way to make yourself more interested is to ask questions - the more the better!
Physical exercise is also important for your memory, because it increases your heart (34)
and
sends more oxygen to your brain, and that makes your memory work better. Exercise also reduces
stress, which is very bad for the memory.
The old saying that "eating fish makes you brainy" may be true after all. Scientists have discovered
that the fats (35)
in fish like tuna, sardines and salmon as well as in olive oil help to
improve the memory. Vitamin-rich fruits such as oranges, strawberries and red grapes are all good
brain food, too.

the correct answer to each of the questions from 36 to 42.
It used to be that people would drink coffee or tea in the morning to pick them up and get them going
for the day. Then cola drinks hit the market. With lots of caffeine and sugar, these beverages soon
became the pick-me-up of choice for many adults and teenagers. Now drink companies are putting
out so-called "energy drinks." These beverages have the specific aim of giving tired consumers more
energy.
One example of a popular energy drink is Red Bull. The company that puts out this beverage has
stated in interviews that Red Bull is not a thirst quencher. Nor is it meant to be a fluid replacement
drink for athletes. Instead, the beverage is meant to revitalize a tired consumers body and mind.
In order to do this, the makers of Red Bull, and other energy drinks, typically add vitamins and
certain chemicals to their beverages. The added chemicals are like chemicals that the body naturally
produces for energy. The vitamins, chemicals, caffeine, and sugar found in these beverages all seem
like a sure bet to give a person energy.
Health professionals are not so sure, though. For one thing, there is not enough evidence to show
that all of the vitamins added to energy drinks actually raise a persons energy level. Another problem
is that there are so many things in the beverages. Nobody knows for sure how all of the ingredients
in energy drinks work together.
Dr. Brent Bauer, one of the directors at the Mayo Clinic in the US, cautions people about believing all
the claims energy drinks make. He says, "It is plausible if you put all these things together, you will
get a good result." However, Dr. Bauer adds the mix of ingredients could also have a negative impact
on the body. "We just dont know at this point", he says.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate
the correct answer to each of the questions from 43 to 50
What is extreme weather? Why are people talking about it these days? Extreme weather is an
unusual weather event such as rainfall, a drought or a heat wave in the wrong place or at the wrong
time. In theory, they are very rare. But these days, our TV screens are constantly showing such
extreme weather events. Take just three news stories from 2010: 28 centimetres of rain fell on Rio
de Janeiro in 24 hours, Nashville, USA, had 33 centimetres of rain in two days and there was record
rainfall in Pakistan.
The effects of this kind of rainfall are dramatic and lethal. In Rio de Janeiro, landslides followed,
burying hundreds of people. In Pakistan, the floods affected 20 million people. Meanwhile, other
parts of the world suffer devastating droughts. Australia, Russia and East Africa have been hit in the
last ten years. And then there are unexpected heat waves, such as in 2003 in Europe. That summer,
35,000 deaths were said to be heat-related.
So, what is happening to our weather? Are these extreme events part of a natural cycle? Or are
they caused by human activity and its effects on the Earths climate? Peter Miller says its probably a
mixture of both of these things. On the one hand, the most important influences on weather events are
and La Nina,
originate
natural cycles in the climate. Two of the most famous weather cycles, El Nino
in the Pacific Ocean. The heat from the warm ocean rises high into the atmosphere and affects
weather all around the world. On the other hand, the temperature of the Earths oceans is slowly but
steadily going up. And this is a result of human activity. We are producing greenhouse gases that
trap heat in the Earths atmosphere. This heat warms up the atmosphere, land and oceans. Warmer
oceans produce more water vapour - think of heating a pan of water in your kitchen. Turn up the heat,
it produces steam more quickly. Satellite data tells us that the water vapour in the atmosphere has
gone up by four percent in 25 years. This warm, wet air turns into the rain, storms, hurricanes and
typhoons that we are increasingly experiencing. Climate scientist, Michael Oppenheimer, says that
we need to face the reality of climate change. And we also need to act now to save lives and money
in the future.

WAYS TO IMPROVE YOUR MEMORY
A good memory is often seen as something that comes naturally, and a bad memory as something
that cannot be changed, but actually (31)
is a lot that you can do to improve your memory.
We all remember the things we are interested in and forget the ones that bore us. This no doubt
explains the reason (32)
schoolboys remember football results effortlessly but struggle with
dates from their history lessons! Take an active interest in what you want to remember, and focus on
it (33)
. One way to make yourself more interested is to ask questions - the more the better!
Physical exercise is also important for your memory, because it increases your heart (34)
and
sends more oxygen to your brain, and that makes your memory work better. Exercise also reduces
stress, which is very bad for the memory.
The old saying that "eating fish makes you brainy" may be true after all. Scientists have discovered
that the fats (35)
in fish like tuna, sardines and salmon as well as in olive oil help to
improve the memory. Vitamin-rich fruits such as oranges, strawberries and red grapes are all good
brain food, too.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate
the correct answer to each of the questions from 36 to 42.
It used to be that people would drink coffee or tea in the morning to pick them up and get them going
for the day. Then cola drinks hit the market. With lots of caffeine and sugar, these beverages soon
became the pick-me-up of choice for many adults and teenagers. Now drink companies are putting
out so-called "energy drinks." These beverages have the specific aim of giving tired consumers more
energy.
One example of a popular energy drink is Red Bull. The company that puts out this beverage has
stated in interviews that Red Bull is not a thirst quencher. Nor is it meant to be a fluid replacement
drink for athletes. Instead, the beverage is meant to revitalize a tired consumers body and mind.
In order to do this, the makers of Red Bull, and other energy drinks, typically add vitamins and
certain chemicals to their beverages. The added chemicals are like chemicals that the body naturally
produces for energy. The vitamins, chemicals, caffeine, and sugar found in these beverages all seem
like a sure bet to give a person energy.
Health professionals are not so sure, though. For one thing, there is not enough evidence to show
that all of the vitamins added to energy drinks actually raise a persons energy level. Another problem
is that there are so many things in the beverages. Nobody knows for sure how all of the ingredients
in energy drinks work together.
Dr. Brent Bauer, one of the directors at the Mayo Clinic in the US, cautions people about believing all
the claims energy drinks make. He says, "It is plausible if you put all these things together, you will
get a good result." However, Dr. Bauer adds the mix of ingredients could also have a negative impact
on the body. "We just dont know at this point", he says.

Question 36. What is the main idea of this passage?
A. Red Bull is the best energy drink.
B. Teenagers should not choose energy drinks.
C. It is uncertain whether energy drinks are healthy.
D. Caffeine is bad for people to drink.
Question 37. According to the passage, what makes it difficult for researchers to know if an energy drink
gives people energy?
A. The number of beverage makers
B. The mixture of various ingredients
C. The average age of the consumer
D. Natural chemicals in a persons body
Question 38. The word "plausible" in the passage is closest in meaning to
A. typical
B. unlikely
C. reasonable
Question 39. The word it in the second paragraph refers to
.
A. Red Bull
B. thirst quencher
C. the company
Question 40. What has Dr. Bauer probably researched?
A. Habits of healthy and unhealthy adults
C. Energy drinks for teenage athletes

.
D. impossible
D. one example

B. Vitamins and chemicals in the body

D. Countries where Red Bull is popular

Question 41. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. It has been scientifically proved that energy drinks work.
B. The makers of Red Bull say that it can revitalize a person.
C. Colas have been on the market longer than energy drinks.
D. Bauer does not seem to believe the claims of energy drink makers.
Question 42. The beverages mentioned in the first paragraph aim to give consumers
A. more energy
B. more choices
C. sugar

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate
the correct answer to each of the questions from 43 to 50
What is extreme weather? Why are people talking about it these days? Extreme weather is an
unusual weather event such as rainfall, a drought or a heat wave in the wrong place or at the wrong
time. In theory, they are very rare. But these days, our TV screens are constantly showing such
extreme weather events. Take just three news stories from 2010: 28 centimetres of rain fell on Rio
de Janeiro in 24 hours, Nashville, USA, had 33 centimetres of rain in two days and there was record
rainfall in Pakistan.
The effects of this kind of rainfall are dramatic and lethal. In Rio de Janeiro, landslides followed,
burying hundreds of people. In Pakistan, the floods affected 20 million people. Meanwhile, other
parts of the world suffer devastating droughts. Australia, Russia and East Africa have been hit in the
last ten years. And then there are unexpected heat waves, such as in 2003 in Europe. That summer,
35,000 deaths were said to be heat-related.
So, what is happening to our weather? Are these extreme events part of a natural cycle? Or are
they caused by human activity and its effects on the Earths climate? Peter Miller says its probably a
mixture of both of these things. On the one hand, the most important influences on weather events are
and La Nina,
originate
natural cycles in the climate. Two of the most famous weather cycles, El Nino
in the Pacific Ocean. The heat from the warm ocean rises high into the atmosphere and affects
weather all around the world. On the other hand, the temperature of the Earths oceans is slowly but
steadily going up. And this is a result of human activity. We are producing greenhouse gases that
trap heat in the Earths atmosphere. This heat warms up the atmosphere, land and oceans. Warmer
oceans produce more water vapour - think of heating a pan of water in your kitchen. Turn up the heat,
it produces steam more quickly. Satellite data tells us that the water vapour in the atmosphere has
gone up by four percent in 25 years. This warm, wet air turns into the rain, storms, hurricanes and
typhoons that we are increasingly experiencing. Climate scientist, Michael Oppenheimer, says that
we need to face the reality of climate change. And we also need to act now to save lives and money
in the future.
