Tigers are one of the most powerful and graceful animals in the world. The different species that
still exist today, namely the Bengal, Indochina, Siberian, South China and Sumatra tigers are in danger of
becoming extinct. Due to irresponsible hunting, the Bali, Caspian and Java tigers have already become
extinct. This could soon happen to the other species too.
In the past, tigers were considered as pests. With a smaller area to hunt, as man had taken up more
of the land to build upon, the tigers found less area for themselves to hunt. They thus turned to farms to
get their food. Farmers’ livestock were attacked by these tigers. People were then encouraged to hunt and
kill these animals with the promise of rewards. Even after the threat of tigers on livestock was over, man
continued to hunt tigers, this time for recreation. Poachers too hunt tigers for their body parts knowing
that the skin of tigers is much sought after. Bones and other organs are also used as ingredients in
traditional Chinese medicine. Although killing is illegal, it is still being carried out unless it is stopped,
the remaining species of tigers will soon become extinct too.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of
the questions.
Did you know that on average we forget about 80% of the medical information a doctor might give
us? This fascinating information came to light as a result of a study carried out by Utrecht University.
What is even more interesting is that almost half of what we think we remember is wrong.
Why do you think this is? Well, it’s not as complicated as you may think. You see, going to the
doctor fills most people with anxiety and when we are really nervous and stressed we are more likely to
focus on the diagnosis rather than the treatment. Therefore, we know what is wrong with as but have no
idea what to do about it.
Here are some good tips to keep in mind when seeing a doctor. Always write down any important
information. What would be even better is, if your doctor agreed, to record your consultation. This way,
you can replay the advice at home, where you are more likely to absorb it. If you believe the situation is
serious or you’re really worried, seek the help of a family member. Just ask them to accompany you to
listen in. This way you can be sure about what the doctor has told you and avoid falling into the same trap
that most people do.

A. digest B. inhale C. swallow D. take in
34. The author suggests recording the consultant in order to ______.

B. refer to it later to better understand your condition

American foods began to affect the rest of the world. American emphasis on convenient and rapid
consumption is best represented in fast foods such as hamburgers, French fries, and soft drinks. By the
1960s and 1970s fast foods became one of America's strongest exports as franchises for Me Donald's and
Burger King spread through Europe and other parts of the world, including Russia and China. Traditional
meals cooked at home and consumed at a leisurely pace gave way to quick lunches and dinners eaten on
the run as other countries imitated American cultural patterns.
By the late 20th century Americans had become more conscious of their diets, eating more poultry,
fish and vegetables, and fewer eggs and less beef. Cooks began to rediscover many world cuisines in
forms closer to their original. In California, chefs combined fresh fruits and vegetables available with
ingredients and spices borrowed from immigrant kitchens to create an innovative cooking style that was
lighter than traditional French, but more interesting and varied than typical American cuisine. Along with
the state's wines, California cuisine took its place among the acknowledged forms of fine dining.
