Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B or C on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions.
It is a common saying that we do not fully value a thing until we lose it. We often value the love and
worth of a friend when he has been taken from us by death more than when he was with us in the flesh; it is
only when we have left school or college that we understand the greatness of our opportunity of education,
which has gone forever; and it is the sick and the ailing who realize the value of good health. When we are
young and strong, we cannot imagine what it is like to be weak and ill. We are so used to vigorous health that
we take it for granted. The organs of our body work so smoothly that we scarcely know we have lungs and
liver, heart and stomach. But when any of these gets upset and gives us pain and sickness, we learn by bitter
experience what an unspeakable blessing it is to be well.
Loss of health makes us miserable, and a burden to ourselves and our friends. It cripples our efforts so
that we cannot accomplish many of the good and great things we might have done. It spoils our life. What
must we do to keep our health?
We must be moderate in eating and drinking and wise in the choice of plain, wholesome simple food.
Gluttony has killed thousands, and strong drink tens of thousands. We must, when young, get plenty of sleep,
which is “nature’s sweet restorer”, and not try to burn the candle at both ends. We must live as much as
possible in the open air and keep our rooms well ventilated. We must get sufficient and regular physical
exercise, and keep our bodies clean. And we must avoid bad habits and secret sins as we avoid the devil, and
keep our thoughts clean and our bodies pure. Our ideal must be the sound mind in the sound body.
Question 28: According to the passage, we often appreciate our friends ________.
A. only when they are with us
B. only when they are good to us.
C. only when they passed away
D. only when they live a long way from us.
Question 29: We do not take care of our health because ________.
A. we are always in good health
B. most of the diseases can be cured nowadays
C. we are so accustomed to good health
D. we are so busy making a living
Question 30: Poor health makes us ________.
A. useless B. unable to fulfill our expectations
C. a shame to our friends. D. fail to become famous
Question 31: According to the author, having plenty of sleep when we are young ________.
A. is wasting our time B. can help us regain our strength
C. may cause loss of health D. can reduce our vigor
Question 32: The best title for the passage is ________.
A. Health and Human Aspirations B. Health and Our Success
C. How to Keep Our Health D. The Value of Health
