Reading Comprehension Passage 1 (Main idea) number 1-5

What causes bulimia nervosa is not clear, but it may be due to a combination of family
history, certain personality traits (such as perfectionism) and social values (such as admiring
thinness). The risk for developing bulimia intensifies if your parent or sibling has the
condition. Stressful events such as divorce or the death of a loved one can trigger bulimia in
some people, mostly teenagers and young women.

Also, many young women have unhealthy attitudes toward eating and toward their bodies so
they may socially allow and promote destructive behaviors like extreme dieting or binging
and purging. If not properly treated, bulimia can lead to long-term health problems. Health
problems caused by bulimia include electrolyte imbalances and heart problem, tooth decay,
osteoporosis, dehydration and kidney problem, inflammation, swollen saliva glands, fainting,
abnormal heartbeat, low body temperature, suicide risk, etc.

There are also other mental health problems, such as depression, anxiety, borderline
personality disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, panic attacks and phobias. Like all
eating disorders, bulimia is a complex physical and psychological condition that requires
appropriate treatment. The treatment focuses on the change of behavior and deals with the
deeper attitudes and feeling in order to avoid the binge-purge cycles.

The treatment may be in form of psychological counseling (such as cognitive-behavioral

therapy CBT, or interpersonal therapy) or antidepressant medicine. Both are long-term
treatments that may need weeks or months to work. There are also other treatments which
may be helpful. Nutritional counseling may help avoid unhealthy diets. Group counseling
may enhance individual therapy. Family therapy may also help family member as it teaches
about the disorder and the way to help. Stress management techniques (such as exercising,
writing, relaxation) may also create better self respect.

Reading Comprehension Passage 2 (Meaning reference) number 6-10

Robert Moog was an American inventor who developed the Moog Synthesizer. It was one of
the first synthesizers to gain widespread use as a musical instrument. Moog’s synthesizers
were an important pa Line of musical innovation in rock and jazz music in the 1960s and
1970s. Robert Arthur Moog was born in Queens, a borough of New York City 75 years ago.
He became fascinated with electronics as a teenager, particularly an early electronic music
instrument called the theremin. Moog studied physic and electrical engineering at Queens
College and Columbia University, both in New York City and later received a Ph.D. in
engineering physic Cornel University in Ithaca, New York. In 1954, while still an
undergraduate student, Moog formed his own company to sell theremins and theremin kits.

Soon after, Moog began working on a keyboard instrument that could replicate the sound of
any musical instrument electronically. Working with American composer Herbert Deutsch,
Moog introduced the prototype Moog Synthesizer at a convention in 1964. The device
represented a significant advance over previous electronic synthesizer because of its use of
new semiconductor technology, which made it smaller and considerably cheaper than earlier
machines. The Moog, as it was known, was soon in demand by musician all over the world.
In 1964, Moog began a collaboration with American composer and organist Walter Carlos
(now Wendy Carlos), who released the bestselling electronic music album Switched-On Bach
in 1968. Rock groups such as the Beatles and Yes and jazz musicians such as Herbie
Hancock and Chick Corea began incorporating Moog Synthesizer into their recordings, a
