In the 1960s, The Beatles were probably the most famous pop group in the whole world. Since then, there
havebeen a great many groups that have achieved enormous fame, so it is perhaps difficult now to imagine
how sensational The Beatles were at that time. They were four boys from the north of England and none of them
had any training in music. They started by performing and recording songs by black Americans and they had
some success with these songs. Then they started writing their own songs and that was when they became really
popular. The Beatles changed pop music. They were the first pop group to achieve great success from songs they
had written themselves. After that it became common for groups and singers to write their own songs. The
Beatles did not have a long career. Their first hit record was in 1963 and they split up in 1970. They stopped
doing live performances in 1966 because it had become too dangerous for them - their fans were so excited that
they surrounded them and tried to take their clothes as souvenirs! However, today some of their songs remain as
famous as they were when they first came out. Throughout the world, many people can sing part of a Beatles
song if you ask them.

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.

Most people know that a balanced diet and regular exercise are very important. However, most people do
not know how to exercise properly. Instead of concentrating on how to get the best results efficiently and
effectively, people usually rush through their workouts, or they make the same common workout mistakes.
Exercising the right way is important for people who are worried about their health and their appearance.
However, if someone is not working out properly, it is rare that he or she will see the results he or she wants.
Therefore, training experts have devised tips to teach people how to exercise correctly in order to achieve the
greatest health benefits. If you want to achieve the best workout results, here are a few helpful tips to bear in
mind. One of the most common workout mistakes is doing the same routine over and over again. This does not
challenge your muscles, and it can actually prevent muscles from growing and repairing themselves. Instead of
always sticking to the same old workout, it is important to change your routine every six to eight weeks. It is also
important to add a variety of workouts to your routine, such as swimming, yoga, or biking, to make sure your
whole body stays fit. This will help make your workouts more interesting, and benefit your health and muscle
development as well. Another mistake people tend to make is to work out too hard, too often. Your body needs to
rest between workouts; otherwise, no progress will be made. It is best to keep the number of hard workout
routines to no more than two per week. Then, for those who don’t want to get off schedule by skipping a day,
shorter workouts of about twenty minutes can be used on other days. For more variety in workouts, you could
also plan an easier routine for forty to sixty minutes between days of shorter, more intense workouts. Experts
recommend, however, taking at least one day off completely each week, especially after several hard workout
days in a row. In reality, no one is perfect. However, if you want to make a difference in your overall health,
there are some things you can do. Stretch before and after every workout. Do not rush your routine, and do not
work out too little or too much. Remember not to make these common workout mistakes, and always have fun
while exercising!
