Question Number 7 is refer to the following text
Should performance enhancing drugs be accepted in sports?
The issue of using drugs to enhance athlete’s performance is controversial. Those who agree to the
use of drugs in enhancing performance say that most top players in all sports take drugs to train
harder and feel no pain during play. The trainers, sports doctors, nutritionists, physiotherapists, and
managers of the big names make sure banned substances are taken at the safest and most efficient
levels. The main effect of banning such substances has turned performers and their coaches into liars
and cheaters.
On the other hand, some still believe that performance enhancing drugs in sport should be banned.
Performance enhancing drugs are not only prohibited because they violate the spirit of sport but
because they can damage the health of athletes.
7. What argument is given by those who disagree with the use of performance enhancing drugs?
A. Athletes health is badly affected
B. Guinea pigs are awfully needed
C. Athletes consume more drugs
D. Athletes obey the rules
E. Athletes perform better

they rested under a tree.
When he woke up from his nap, he could not see the donkey and started searching for the donkey everywhere. On the
way, he met a boy. He asked the boy, “Have you seen my donkey?” The boy asked, “Is the donkey’s left eye blind, his
right foot lame and is he carrying a load of wheat?” The man was happy and said, “Yes, exactly! Where have you seen
it?” The boy answered, “I haven’t seen it”. This made the man very angry and he took the boy to the village chief for
punishment. The judge asked, “Dear boy, if you had not seen the donkey, how could you describe it?” The boy
answered, “I saw the tracks of a donkey and the right and left tracks were different. I understood that the donkey that
passed was limping. And the grass on the right side of the road was eaten but the grass on the left was not. From that I
understood that his left eye was blind. There were wheat seeds scattered on the ground and I understood that he must
have been carrying a load of wheat”. The judge understood the boy’s cleverness and told the man to forgive the boy.

Drug users are actually ill people who need help. Rehabilitation is one of the main things they should get. Instead of
punishing drug users in prisons, the government should provide rehabilitation for them.
Most users are actually victims of persuasive peddlers and they suffer from consuming the drugs. Therefore, by
rehabilitating them, we are actually helping them out from traps, which they might accidentally step on.
If we only arrest drug users and send them to jail, this doesn't solve the problem as drug users will still be addicted
unless proper rehabilitation is imposed on them.
Providing rehabilitation programs for drug users and forcing them to participate in the programs is better than only
arresting them and doing nothing to their illness. Only drug dealers, traffickers, and wholesalers should be imprisoned.
31. Sending drug users to prison is not a good solution because ...
A. They can't consume harmful drugs.
B. They are treated normally.
C. They may still be infected with harmful drugs.
D. They can be freed as soon as possible.
E. They are stressed
There are many reasons why people become vegetarians, including personal health, the environment, and
the economy.
A vegetarian is a person who does not eat meat, poultry, and fish. Vegetarians mostly eat fruit, vegetables,
legumes, grains, seeds, and nuts. Vegetarians also consume eggs and dairy products, but they avoid meat
products, such as beef, chicken stocks, and gelatin.
According to research, vegetarians have a lower risk of heart disease, high cholesterol, diabetes, obesity, and
high blood pressure. This may happen due to a healthy vegetarian diet, which has low fat but high fiber.
However, a vegetarian diet can be high in fat if it includes excessive amounts of fatty snacks, fried food,
whole dairy products, and eggs.
At the same time, a vegetarian diet can be simple and easy to prepare. Therefore, a vegetarian diet must be
well-planned to prevent and treat certain diseases.
33. Why does a vegetarian have a lower risk of many diseases? They ...
A. Eat vegetables every time.
B. Consumes low-fat but high-fiber food.
C. Avoid excessive amounts of fatty snacks.
D. Have well-planned agenda of what to eat.
E. Eat meat every time
