Most people go to a doctor in their own town or suburbs. But people in the Australian outback can’t get to a
doctor quickly. The nearest doctor is sometimes hundreds of kilometers away so they have to call him on a two-way
radio. This special doctor is called the “flying doctor", lie visits sick people by plane.
When someone is sick, the doctor has to fly to the person’s home. His plane lands on a flat piece of ground
near the person’s house. Sometimes the doctor has to take the patient to hospital. Flying doctors take about 8,600
people to hospital each year.
However, most of the time the person isn’t very sick, and the doctor doesn't have to visit. He can give advice
on the radio from the office at the flying doctor center, lie can tell the patient to use some medicine from a special
medicine chest. There is one of these chests in every home in the outback. Kach bottle, tube and packet in the
chest has a number. The doctor often says something like this, "Take two tablets from bottle number 5 every four
hours."
A man called John Flynn started the Royal Flying Doctor service in 1927. He had only one plane. Today

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.
The food we eat seems to have profound effects on our health. Although science has made
enormous steps in making food more fit to eat, it has, at the same time, made many foods unfit to eat.
Some research has shown that perhaps 80% of all human illnesses are related to diet and 40% of
cancer is related to the diet as well, especially cancer of the colon. People of different cultures are more
prone to contract certain illnesses because of the characteristic foods they consume.
That food is related to illness is not a new discovery. In 1945, government researchers realized that
nitrates and nitrites (commonly used to preserve color in meats) as well as other food additives caused
cancer. Yet, these carcinogenic additives remain on our food, and it becomes more difficult all the time
to know which ingredients on the packaging labels of processed food are healthful or harmful.
The additives that we eat are not all so direct. Farmers often give penicillin to cattle and poultry, and
because of this, penicillin has been found in the milk of treated cows.
Sometimes similar drugs arc administered to animals not for medicinal purposes, but for financial
reasons. The farmers are simply trying to fatten the animals in order to obtain a higher price on the
market. Although the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has tried repeatedly to control these
producers, the practices continue.
A healthy diet is directly related to good health. Often we are unaware of detrimental substances we
ingest. Sometimes well-meaning farmers or others who do not realize the consequences add these
substances to food without their knowledge. Notes:
1. How has science done a disservice to people?
A. Because of science, disease caused by contaminated food has been virtually eradicated.
B. It has caused a lack of information concerning the value of food
C. As a result of scientific intervention, some potentially harmful substances have been added to
our food.
D. The scientists have preserved the color of meats, but not of vegetables.
2. The word "fit” is closest in meaning to ________.
A. athletic B. suitable C. tasty D. adaptable
3. The word "prone” is closest in meaning to ______.
A. supine B. unlikely C. healthy D. predisposed
4. What are nitrates used for?
A. They preserve favor in packaged foods.
B. They preserve the color of meats
C. They are the objects of research.
D. They cause the animals to become fatter.
5. FDA means .

5
 A. Food Direct Additives B. Final Difficult Analysis
C. Food and Drug Administration D. Federal Dairy Additives
6. The word "these” in paragraph 2 refers to .
A. meats B. colors C. researchers D. nitrates and nitrites
7. The word “carcinogenic" is closest in meaning to .
A. trouble-making B. color-retaining C. money-making D. cancer-causing
8. All of the following statements are true EXCEPT .
A. Drugs are always given to animals for medical reasons.
B. Some of the additives in our food are added to the food itself and some are given to the living
animals.
C. Researchers have known about the potential hazards of food additives for more than 45 years.
D. Food may cause 40% of the cancer in the world.
9. The word “additives” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to .
A. added substances B. dangerous substances
C. natural substances D. benign substances

IV. READING COMPREHENSION
Read the following passage and mark the letter to indicate the correct answer to each of the
questions.
Long ago, scientists studied the viruses that cause diseases. They found out that after a person has
had a disease, he seldom gets it again. He is said to be immune to that disease. This means that his
body has developed a way of fighting the germs. However, people do not seem to become immune from
colds. This fact puzzled the scientists for some time.
The scientists already knew that the cold is caused by a very tiny kind of germ called a virus.
Therefore, they tried to capture cold virus. They wanted to study it in the laboratory. They knew that if
they succeeded, they would be able to find a cure for colds.
Finally, a scientist did manage to grow cold germs in a laboratory. He discovered that there are a
hundred kinds of cold viruses. Each of them can cause people to have colds. If a person becomes
immune from some, there are still many others that can infect him.
Fortunately, a person develops more immunities as he grows older. That is why adults are less likely
to catch cold than children.
