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 from 39 to 43.
Some doctors think that you should drink a glass of water each morning. You should drink this water first
thing, before doing anything else. The temperature of the water should be similar to body temperature; neither
too hot nor too cold.
Why should you drink this water? Water helps your body in many ways. It helps clean out your kidneys. It
prepares your stomach for digestion. Water can also help your intestines work better. After drinking water, the
intestines can more easily take out nutrients from our food. Water also helps us go to the bathroom more easily.
Scientists suggest that people take in 1,600 milliliters of water each day. But don’t drink all of that water in
one sitting. If you do, your kidneys will have to work much harder to eliminate it. It’s better to drink some in the
morning and some in the afternoon. Some people think it’s better to drink between meals and not during meals.
They think water dilutes the juices produced in our stomachs. This can interfere with normal digestion.
Are you drinking enough water every day? Check the color of your urine. If it is light yellow, you are
probably drinking enough. If your urine is very dark yellow, you probably need to drink more water. A little
more water each day could make you much healthier.
(Adapted from Reading Challenge 1 by Casey Malarcher and Andrea Janzen)
Question 39: Which of the following is NOT true?
A. Drinking water while having meals may interfere with normal digestion.
B. You shouldn’t drink too much water at the same time.
C. You need to drink more water if your urine is light yellow.

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 from 44 to 50.
For hundreds of years, giving flowers has been a social means of communication. In the United States,
flowers are often given during rites of passage, for commemorating special occasions or as a heartfelt gift
between loved ones and friends. Flower gifting also occurs in most countries around the world. However, the
meanings and traditions often vary.
While students traditionally gave their favorite teacher an apple in past years, in China, teachers are given
flowers. Peonies are by far the flower most often given in China. They are also quite popularly used for
weddings. Strangely, potted plants are not considered a pleasant gift among Asian cultures. The people believe
that like a plant confined by a pot, the gift symbolizes a binding or restriction.
In Russia, in lieu of giving birthday presents, the guest of honor receives a single flower or an unwrapped
bouquet. Floral arrangements or baskets are not given. Russians celebrate a holiday known as Women’s Day.
Traditional gifts include red roses, hyacinths or tulips. When there is a funeral or other occasion where someone
wishes to express sympathy, carnations, lilies or roses are given in circular configurations, which signify the
transition of birth, life and death to rebirth. In this instance, the color of choice is commonly yellow. For joyous
occasions, arrangements and bouquets generally contain an odd number of flowers.
In the times of ancient Rome, brides carried flowers to scare away evil spirits and encourage fertility. The
Dutch believed that flowers were food for the soul. When invited to someone’s home in Great Britain, it is
tradition to bring a gift of flowers. All types are acceptable except white lilies, which are usually seen at
funerals. Not unlike the United States, red roses are a symbol of love. Flowers are generally gifted in odd
numbered increments regardless of the occasion. However, the Brits also have superstitions regarding the
number 13, so the number is avoided.
In the southern region of the continent, flowers are traditionally given during Christmas. Egyptians are
much more conservative and restrict flower gifting to funerals and weddings. While certain flowers may have
significant meanings for some, flowers in Las Vegas and across the United States flowers are an accepted gift
for any reason desired.
