READING
Most of us usually base our idea of the Chinese diet on Chinese stir-fry takeaways. Nothing could be
further from the truth. A healthy and balanced diet, according to the Chinese nutritionists, is a very complex
thing which needs to be adjusted to a particular person based on their needs and health problems. Therefore,
one recipe for healthy eating does not exist. Rather, your healthy menu is created depending on your physical
condition according to the following guidelines.
First of all, each food and herb has a very particular taste that has certain properties. A balanced diet
will include all five tastes - spicy, sour, bitter, sweet and salty. Each taste has different healing properties. For
example, bitter foods are said to dry the body and cool it. Salty taste,on the other hand, is warming and
moistening. The dominating taste in each person's diet needs to be suited to his or her individual needs.
Secondly, there is the idea of Yin and Yang energy. Everything in the universe is about balancing Yin and
Yang and so is a diet. A person who doesn't have enough Yang should eat 'Yang foods'. Meats, for example, are
usually Yang, white vegetables tend to be Yin. Preparation is equally important. Frying increases the Yang,
whereas steaming the Yin. It is the same for cooked versus raw foods.
Finally, certain foods and tastes influence certain organs within our body and so they need to be chosen
according to our condition. For instance, the salty taste activates our kidneys and bladder. Salt is therefore very
often added to the food or even to herbal teas prepared for people with kidney problems. In the same way, sour
tastes are connected with the liver, while bitter tastes with the heart. The lungs are influenced by spicy foods,
and the stomach by the sweets (yes, that makes sugar a medicine!)
39. The word "they" in paragraph 4 refers to ______.
A. organs B. foods and tastes C. conditions D. bodies
40. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the guidelines for creating a healthy menu?
A. A diet should help people balance Yin and Yang.
B. Certain foods and tastes influence certain body organs.
C. Each taste has certain properties.
D. As a medicine, sugar should be added to every dish.

READING
For a long time, amphibians were confused with reptiles. Like reptiles, they have three-chambered
hearts and are cold-blooded. Some amphibians, such as salamanders, are even shaped like lizards. However,
unlike reptiles, amphibians never have claws on their toes or scales on their bodies. Furthermore, the eggs of
amphibians lack shells, so they must be laid in water or moist places.
Amphibians were the first creatures to spend sizable amounts of their lives on land. The larvae of most
amphibians, such as frog tadpoles, are born with grills and live in water. However, their gills disappear as they
develop lungs. Most retain the ability to breathe through the moist surface of their skin. This comes in handy
when they hibernate in the bottom mud of lakes and ponds during the coldest months. They take in the small
amount of oxygen they need through their skin. Some amphibians undergo what is known as a "double
metamorphosis" changing not only from gill breathers to lung breathers but also from vegetarians to
insectivores.
Although the amphibian class is rather small in number of species, it shows great diversity. There are
three major types. The caecilians of the tropics are long, legless burrowing creatures. Caudate amphibians, such
as newts and salamanders, mostly have long tails and stubby legs. Salientians, which include both frogs and
toads, are tailless as adults and have powerful hind legs. Toads differ from frogs primarily in that they have dry,
warty skin.

D. change both the shape their bodies and the way in which they lay eggs
46. The author's main purpose in writing the passage is to ________.
A. explain how amphibians differ from other creatures
B. define and describe amphibians
