III. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, c, or D to indicate the correct answer
to each of the questions. (1pt)
Travel is fun and exciting, but not if you get sick. You may think, “Not me. I won’t get sick on my
vacation!” However, for many people, that is what happens. You do not want to spend your vacation
sick in bed, of course. If you have heart trouble, you do not want to make it worse. What can you do
to stay in good health? These are the three things to remember when you travel: relax, sleep, and eat
well.
A vacation is supposed to be a time for relaxing, but tourists often forget that. There are so many
places to visit: museums, churches, parks, and shops. You want to see as much as possible, of course,
and so you spend most of your days on your feet. This is tiring. Your feet may start to hurt. You may
get a headache or a backache. If this is the way you feel, you should take a rest. Do not ask your
body to do too much. A tired body means a weak body, and a weak body gets sick easily. So sit down
for a few hours in a nice spot. In good weather, look for a quiet park bench or an outdoor cafe. You
can learn a lot by watching people while you rest.
Sleep is also important. If you want to stay healthy, you need to get enough sleep. That is not always
easy when you are traveling. You may have a noisy hotel room or an uncomfortable bed. If you do,
don’t be afraid to change rooms or even hotels. If you are young, you may have other reasons for not
sleeping. In many cities the nightlife is exciting. You may want to stay out late at night. Then you
should plan to sleep during the day. That extra rest can make a big difference.
Finally, whatever age you are, you must eat well. That means eating the right kinds of foods. Your
body needs fresh fruits and vegetables and some meat, milk, or fish. You also need to be careful
about eating new foods. Try small amounts first to make sure they are okay for you. And of course,
stay away from foods that are very rich.
Remember this: If you want to enjoy your vacation, take care of yourself. Give your body some rest.
Get enough sleep and eat good, healthy food.
