Friendship is a big statement. Lots of people are lovers but are not friends. Lots of people
are relatives and are not friends. Lots of people who work together are not friends. You
can appreciate or admire someone, but that does not mean that you make him or her a
friend.

When I had my near-death illness last year and the following long recuperation, I had a
lot of time to think about what makes someone a friend. If they are scared of you when
you need help, sorry, that is not friendship. If their attitude is “for better or worse,” if they
stick to you through troubles and difficulties, it is the time when you can tell it is true
friendship. I do have some friends, but not as many as I thought. And there was a time, in
the late 80s when my friend, Ken, really needed me but I did not come through for him. I
remember hanging out in my happy suburban house in Menlo Park, and not coming to
help him through the loss of his wife. Luckily, I got to apologize for that but Ken said he
did not mind.

I do not have a tidy answer about Ken and me and friendship. Sometimes we were
friends, and other times, clearly, not. But I guess there is something remarkable in two
people overcoming the barriers to friendship to find some real communication at some
point.

Question 36. According to the writer _____.

 a. all lovers are friends

 b. all your relatives are also your friends
 c. whoever you admire is your friends
 d. not all workmates are friends

Question 37. In true friendship, ____.

 a. your friends are always scared of you

 b. friends stick to each other through troubles and difficulties
 c. we should have as many friends as possible
 d. friends are scared of helping each other

Question 38: What happened to the writer last year?

 a. His wife passed away.

 b. He was seriously ill.
 c. He had an interesting experience.
 d. He had got some new friends.

Question 39: We can learn from the text that _____.

 a. the writer had a house in suburb in Menlo Park

9
  b. the writer came to help his friend, Ken, when his wife died
 c. whenever his friend, Ken, had problems the writer immediately came to help
 d. the writer and Ken are true friends at all time

Question 40: The writer did not come to help Ken ____.

 a. so Ken was very angry

 b. and he did not apologize
 c. but Ken did not mind
 d. so they were no longer friends

BACK TO SCHOOL

There goes the alarm again. I guess I should get up, but I am dreading this day. I always
hate going back to school after a holidays break. I am not sure why I am anxious to see
my friends, I don’t have any overdue school assignments, but I still get that funny feeling
in the pit of my stomach. Has something changed? Do all my friends still feel the same
way? What clothes should I wear today? Everyone will wear something new. I am sure
ofthat.

My biggest conflict is in my head. Part of me says, “Be your own person!” Another part
of me just wants to fit into the crowd. My mom says that high school is like this, but
college will be the opposite. She says I’ll meet many people with different interests, and
find groups that I want to be with. I am looking forward to that freedom, but I have one
more year of high school and this is my reality right now.

As much as my friends and I like to think we are above all the peer pressures and social
“rules” of our school, we all know we are very much controlled by it. We wear our hair
the same way, wear the same brand clothes, and even have to use the same perfume. We
basically clone ourselves because we don’t want to be different. Yet, deep down we
would like to shout, “Look at me! This is who I am!” Sigh, there goes the alarm again.
What should I wear today? I think I will call Clara and see what she is wearing.

Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer.

Sometimes our most embarrassing experiences in life have the potential to become one of
our funny moments. It all depends on how you look at it. I was contemplating joining a
local professional association and decided it would be a good idea to attend their free
introductory meeting. So I planned to go after work, meet the officers and introduce
myself to a few members.

On the evening the meeting was scheduled, I happened to have had a very long day at
work. I had not had a chance to eat lunch and could feel my blood sugar dropping. Since
this makes me light-headed and a bit grumpy, | decided I had better stop at home and get

29
a quick snack to hold me over, before I went to this meeting. After all, you never get a
second chance to make a first impression, right?

That night, traffic was backed up, and it took me longer than usual to get home. I decided
that all I had time to do was to run into the house, get two apples, a few crackers and a
bottle of water and then hurry on to this meeting. I put them all into in my large purse,
and ran back outside to get in the car.

Fortunately, the traffic had cleared up. I sped up downtown and made it to the meeting on
time, without eating anything. “Great” I thought, “Everything is voing perfectly”. I went
inside and all the newcomers were invited to sit at a round table and introduce themselves
before the meeting started. It was very crowded, and I did not really have room to put my
purse on the floor or on my chair, so I put it on the table in front of me and settled down
to listen to the speaker.

After the meeting, I did what I had intended to do. I introduced myself to the officers of
this club and met a few other members. When I was speaking I noticed that everybody
was looking at me strangely and smiled. The worst thing happened when I stood up, all
things in my purse dropped out! Apples, crackers, a bottle of water, and even some make-
up.

It’s been over two years now, but I still remember every detail of that day. It was a
beautiful warm sunny clear sky day. I had to go to work and then had class at Hunter
College that night. Little did I know what would await me that morning. When I got off
my car, I found that the building was being evacuated and no one could tell me why. I
could not find anyone that I worked with. There were hundreds of people just gathering
around. No one knew exactly what had happened. Then someone said that there was a
timing bomb in the building and the police were trying to dispose it. I thought that I
should have turned around and tried to go home but a police officer forced us to keep our
place. They were looking for the terrorists. Suddenly the building exploded in a burst of
white clouds of billowing smoke and slowly started to collapsed downwards. The same
officer who had directed us to stand there now shouted, “run” and we did. But not fast or
far enough. We all were caught in the debris fallout. Most of us made it out, some did
not. The world went totally black and soundless, I never heard the building fall, I could
not see, nor hear, nor feel, just smell and taste were left. I could not breathe or think,
nothing, the world just dissappeared in an instant. I eventually made it out and home, but
I have never been the same since. I lost a major part of my life that day, my girlfriend,
Lynne.

A birthday party is a celebration that occurs to celebrate the birth of the person being
honored. Birthday parties are celebrated in many cultures. While a child’s party is usually
at home and consists of soft drinks and sweet food as well as some main courses, adults’
birthday parties in Western countries often take place in bars or nightclubs where a range
of alcoholic beverages are consumed.

In Western cultures, particularly in the United States, birthday parties are often
accompanied by colorful decorations such as streamers and balloons. A birthday cake is
often served with candles that are to be blown out after a “birthday wish” has been made.

61
While the birthday cake is brought to the table, the song Happy Birthday to You is sung.
Wealthy people or celebrities may hire an event management agency or a party service to
organize a birthday party.

The birthday cake has been an integral part of the birthday tradition in Western cultures
since the middle of the 19th century.

The cake, or sometimes a pastry or dessert, is served to a person on his or her birthday,
and is often decorated with small novelty candles, with the person’s name and a message
of congratulations inscribed with icing. The phrase “Happy Birthday” did not appear on
birthday cakes until the song Happy Birthday to You was popularized in the early 1900s.

Tradition holds that the person with the birthday may make a wish, which will come true
if all the candles can be blown out in one breath.

THE MOST DANGEROUS ANIMAL

The fly is often said to be the most dangerous animal in the world. By carrying disease
germs it causes much sickness and many deaths. Attached to the fly’s feet are pads which
enable a fly to cling to a windowpane or walk on the ceiling. Disease germs and unclean
matter are often carried on these pads.

112
Flies hatch and feed in unclean places, such as manure piles. They also feed in outdoor
toilets, in open garbage cans, and on decaying matter of all kinds.

The barn and horse stable with their usual manure piles are the most common of the fly’s
breeding places. As garages have taken the place of stables, there are fewer flies. But it is
possible to keep a barn or stable clean and take care of the manure so that it will not
become a breeding place for flies.

Everything possible should be done to keep flies out of the house. If any do get in, they
should be killed. But it is most important that man do away with flies by having clean
surroundings and by getting rid of the piaces where flies hatch and feed.

Question 36: While not directly stated, it can be reasoned from the article that

 a. flies are really clean.

 b. flies were once a greater problem than they are now.
 c. flies carry disease germs.
 d. we should get rid of horse stables.

 a. kindness to animals.

 a. houses
 b. breeding places

 d. garages

Question 39: The passage mentions the following as breeding places for flies EXCEPT
____.

 a. windowpanes

Question 40: Which sentence is Not true?

 a. Every fly always carries disease germs.

 b. Flies are dangeous to man.
 c. Flies often feed in unclean places.

Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer.

Direct attacks on illiteracy take two main forms, adult education and the establishment of
public schools with compulsory attendance for children. In many countries, there are
certain programs which have been instituted to fight adult illiteracy; and universal public
education has almost eliminated illiteracy among the young. Soldiers have been
appointed effectively as instructors for the public.

Throughout most of history most people have been illiterate. In former society, the ability
to read and write was of value only to the clergy and aristocracy. The first known
reference to “literate laymen” did not appear until the end of the 14th century. Illiteracy
was not seen as a problem until after the invention of printing in the 15th century. The
first significant decline in illiteracy came with the Reformation, when translation of the
Bible into the vernacular became widespread and Protestant converts were taught to read
it. Revolutionary political movements from the 18th to the 20th century generally
included an attack on illiteracy as one of their goals, with the former Soviet Union,
China, and Cuba being among the most successful in the 20th century.

Read the passage and check whether the following statements are true (T) or false (F).

Low levels of literacy skills’ among workers are hindering the competitiveness of North
American businesses in today’s globalized and information-focused world. Employers
are wondering whether these problems are actually relevant to their own firms. As a
result of a research project on the relationship between literacy supply and demand in
Canadian employment, we have created a strategy for employers to use to assess their
level of risk before undertaking expensive and difficult in-depth studies of their firms.
Literacy supply refers to the literacy skills of workers or potential workers while literacy
demand refers to the requirement for literacy skills in specific jobs. Our project addresses
ways in which actual problems can be identified through matching literacy supply with
literacy demand. While this paper quotes mainly Canadian sources on this issue, the
problem, we consider, is common to the United States and, indeed, to most
industrializedcountries. We know a lot about the literacy skills of the Canadian
population and workforces, and the news has not been good. A series of national and
international surveys have actually tested samples of Canadians on their literacy and
numeracy abilities. These studies strongly suggest that a substantial proportion of the
Canadian workforce has, at best, basic literacy skills and, at worst, inadequate abilities to
handle everyday literacy and numeracy tasks. From the literacy supply side we have been
led to believe that we have a serious problem. It is widely argued that low levels of
literacy skills are harming the productivity of Canadian business now and represent a
barrier to the restructuring firms need to remain competitive in the future.

Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer.

The traditional definition of literacy is considered to be the ability to read and write, or
the ability to use language to read, write, listen, and speak. In modern contexts, the word
refers to reading and writing at a level adequate for communication, or at a level that lets
one understand and communicate ideas in a literate society, so as to take part in that
society. The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization
(UNESCO) has drafted the following definition: “Literacy is the ability to identify,
understand, interpret, create, communicate and compute, using printed and written
materials associated with varying contexts. Literacy involves a continuum of learning to
enable an individual to achieve his or her goals, to develop his or her knowledge
and potential, and to participate fully in the wider society.”

Policy makers also argue that literacy increases job opportunities and access to higher
education. In Kerala, India, for example, female and child mortality rates declined
dramatically in the 1960s, when girls who were educated in the educational reforms after
1948 began to raise families. Recent researchers, however, argue that correlations such as
the one listed above may have more to do with the effects of schooling rather than
literacy in general. Regardless, the focus of educational systems worldwide include
a basic concept around communication through text and print, which is the foundation of
most definitions of literacy.

Asian, Arab and Sub-Saharan African countries are regions with the lowest literacy rates
at about 10% to 12%. Kast Asia and Latin America have illiteracy rates in the 10 to 15%
region while developed countries have illiteracy rates of a few percent. Within ethnically

144
homogeneous regions, literacy rates can vary widely from region to region. This often
coincides with the region’s wealth or urbanization, though many factors play a role.

Question 36: A literate _____.

 a. can read but does not know how to write

 b. cannot communicate with others in written language
 c. Can communicate in written language
 d. cannot read any printed document

Question 37: Literacy _____.

 b. is used to referred an ability to listen and speak
 c. helps one develop his or her knowledge and potential
 d. is a term which has just come into being in the modern time

Question 38: Thanks to _____, female and child mortality rates in Kerala declined
dramatically in the 1960s.

 a. job opportunites
 b. job access
 c. the educational reforms for girls
 d. policy makers

Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer.

Completing a marathon is considered very difficult, but many coaches believe that it is
possible for anyone who is willing to put in the time and effort. Obviously, most
participants do not run a marathon to win. More important for most runners is their
personal finish time and their placement within their specific age group and gender.
Another very important goal is to break certain time barriers. For example, ambitious
recreational first-timers often try to run the marathon under 4 hours; more ompetitive
runners will attempt to run under 3 hours. Many runners then prefer to finish for example
in 3:29:59, which makes them “sub-3:30h marathoners”, instead of 3:30:01.

For most runners, the marathon is the longest run they have ever attempted. Many
coaches believe that the most important element in marathon training is the long run.

154
Recreational runners commonly try to reach a maximum of about 20 Emiles in their
longest weekly run and about 40 miles a week in total when training for the marathon.
More experienced marathoners may run a longer distance. During marathon training,
adequate recovery time is crucial. If fatigue or pain is felt, it is recommended to take a
break for a couple of days or more to let the body heal. Overtraining is a condition that
results from not getting enough rest to allow the body to recover from difficult training. It
can actually result in a lower endurance and speed and place a runner at a greater risk of
injury.

 a. impossible

 a. he should continue the training

 b. he should quit running forever
 c. it is time for him to stop his training
 d. he should take a break for several days

Question 40: Overtraining may lead to ____.

Read the passage and the questions or unfinished sentences. Then choose the answer
a, b, c or d that you think fits best.

Bees, classified into over 10,000 species, are insects found in almost every part of the
world except the northernmost and southernmost regions. One commonly known species
is the honeybee, the only bee that produces honey and wax. Humans use the wax in
making candles, lipsticks, and other products, and they use the honey as a food. While
gathering the nectar and pollen with which they make honey, bees
are simultaneously helping to fertilize the flowers on which they land. Many fruits and
vegetables would not survive if bees did not carry the pollen from blossom to blossom.

Bees live in a structured environment and social structure within a hive, which is a nest
with storage space for the honey. The different types of bees each perform a unique
function. The worker bee carries nectar to the hive in a special stomach called a honey
stomach. Other workers make beeswax and shape it into a honeycomb, which is a
waterproof mass of six-sided compartments, or cells. The queen lays eggs in completed
cells. As the workers build more cells, the queen lays more eggs.

All workers, like the queen, are female, but the workers are smaller than the queen. The
male honeybees are called drones; they do no work and cannot sting. They are developed
from unfertilized eggs, and their only job is to impregnate a queen. The queen must be
fertilized in order to lay worker eggs. During the season when less honey is available and
the drone is of no further use, the workers block the drones from eating the honey so that
they will starve to death.

Question 36: Which of the following is the best title for this reading?

 a. The Honeybee — Its Characteristics and Usefulness

Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer.

The world's population inereased from 3 billion in 1959 to 6 billion by 1999, a doubling
that occurred over 40 years. The Census Bureau's latest projections imply that population
growth will continue into the 21st century, although more slowly. The world's population
is projected to grow from 6 billion in 1999 to 9 billion by 2042, an increase of 50 percent
that will require 40 years.

The world's population growth rate rose from about 1.5 percent per year from 1950 to
1951 to a peak of over 2 percent in the early 1960s due to reductons in mortality. Growth
rates thereafter started to decline due to rising age at marriage as well as Increasing
availability and use of effective contraceptive methods. Note that changes in population
growth have not always been steady. A dip in the growth rate from 1959-1960, for
instance, was due to the Great Leap Forward in China. During that time, both natural
disasters and decreased agricultural output in the wake of massive social reorganization
caused China's death rate to rise sharply and its fertility rate to fall by almost half.

Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer.

The first cause of global greenhouse gas emissions is over-population. In 1950, the world
population was 3 billion, now 6.5 billion people who produce an enormous output of
waste and utilize an unbelievable amount of resources and energy.

Most people having children have no idea why they are even having children. Most do
not really love their children because if they did they would be very much involved in
trying to ensure that their children have a world to survive in.

Unless overpopulation is addressed, there is no way of slowing down greenhouse gas

emissions. But corporations need workers, governments need taxpayers, bureaucrats and
soldiers. More people means more money. The solution to all of our problems is simple.
We just need to live in accordance with the basic laws of ecology. Weaken diversity and
the entire system will be weakened and will ultimately collapse. All of the species within

196
an ecosystem are interdependent. There is a limit to growth because there is a limit to
carrying capacity. Human populatlons are exceeding carrying capacity and diminishing
resources and diversity of species. Albert Einstein wrote that “if the bee disappeared off
the surface of the globe, then man would have only four years of life left. No more bees,
no more pollination, no more plants, no more animals, no more man.” And the honey bee
is disappearing. Why? We do not know why. All around the world bees are disappearing
and bees pollinate our plants. We are cutting down forests and plundering the oceans. We
are polluting the soil, the air and the water and rapidly runnIng out of fresh water to
drink. Water is now being sold for more than the equivalent amount of gasoline.

The New Year is an event that happens when a culture celebrates the end of one year and
the beginning of the next year. Cultures that measure yearly calendars all have New Year
celebrations.

Tet Nguyen Dan pronunciation, more commonly known by its shortened name Tet, is the
most important and popular holiday and festival in Vietnam. It is the Vietnamese New
Year which is based on the Chinese calendar, a lunisolar calendar. The name Tet Nguyen
Dan is Vietnamese for Feast of the First Morning.

Tet is celebrated on the same day as Chinese New Year though exceptions arise due to
the one-hour time difference between Hanoi and Beijing. Tet shares many of the same
customs of its Chinese counterpart. It is celebrated from the first day of the first month of
the Chinese calendar, around late January or early February, until at least the third day.
Many Vietnamese prepare for Tet by cooking special holiday foods, decorating and
cleaning the house. During Tet holiday, Vietnamese visit their families, pagodas and
temples, forgetting about the troubles of the past year and hoping for a better upcoming
year. Tet traditionally marks the coming of Spring, so Spring is sometimes used
interchangeably with Tet in Vietnamese. Vietnamese people usually return to their
families during Tet. Some return to worship at the family altar or visit the graves of their
ancestors. Others return to where they grew up. Although Tet is a main holiday among all
Vietnamese, each region and religion has its own customs.

Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer.

In early colonial times, correspondents depended on friends, merchants, and Native

Americans to carry messages between the colonies. However, most correspondence ran
between the colonists and England, their mother country. It was a very hard work to
handle so many letters like that. In 1639, the first official notice of a postal service in the
colonies appeared. The General Court of Massachusetts designated Richard Fairbanks’
tavern in Boston as the official place of mail brought from or sent overseas, in line with
the practice in England and other nations to use coffee houses and taverns as mail drops.
Local authorities operated post routes within the colonies. Then, in 1673, a monthly post
was set up between New York and Boston. The service was of short duration, but the post
rider’s trail became known as the Old Boston Post Road, part of today’s U.S. Route 1.
William Penn established the first post office in 1683. In the South, private messengers,
usually slaves, connected the huge plantations.
After the Boston revolution in September 1774, the colonies began to separate from the
mother country. A Continental Congress was organized at Philadelphia in May 1775 to
establish an independent government. One of the first questions before the delegates was
how to convey and deliver the mail.

Even where there is an efficient ‘door-to-door’ delivery system, there are additional
advantages in using Post Office (PO) boxes. There are certaip conveniences for using PO
boxes.

PO boxes allow mail to be picked up when sorted, rather than when it is delivered to the
physical address, which will be some hours later.

A mail user who regularly receives large parcels or items that must be signed for may
find it convenient to pick up the rest of the mail at the same time.

A mail user who moves frequently can keep a mailing address.

A mail user may desire a more famous or prestigious address. For example, in
Washington, D.C., many large P.O. box facilities are located near or even outside city
limits.

A business receiving large volumes of mail may maintain separate post office boxes for
separate departments, such as one for sales, one for customer service, to reduce the need
to sort internally.

PO boxes are more secure than many home mailboxes, preventing mail theft and identity
theft.

If you live on a boat, PO boxes can serve as your address, but are not necessary.

Question 36: A PO book is more convenient for a mail user who frequently moves.

 a. True
 b. False
 c. No information

Question 37: If you use a PO box, you can get your mail earlier than you use a door-to-
door delivery systen

 a. True

Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer.

Recent research reveals that the degradation of agricultural soils, forests, woodlands,
coastal fisheries, and wildlife resources is more and more serious. The majority of the
estimated costs of environmental degradation comes from forests and natural resources
are being depleted at an alarming rate. More than 50% of the original forest has been
converted to agricultural land by slash-and-burn. Despite land expansion, productivity
has declined because of soil erosion. Fish, timber, and non-timber forest product stocks
are decreasing. As a result, coastal towns have begun to experience severe water
shortages. Hydropower is dropping. Wildlife populations and iodiversity are in serious
decline and many species face extinction. Poor forest management and soil degradation
result in huge economic losses. The degradation of water increases the costs and reduces
the quality of both water and power. The prospects for economic development and
poverty reduction are dependent on natural resources. Rural households rely on natural
resources for their livelihoods, fisheries, and wildlife which provide protein in diets.
Urban economic activities depend on reliable hydroelectric power. However, people do
not have much awareness of protecting the environment on which their life depends.

Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer.

259
The scarcity of tigers and African elephants is more and more serious. They are
endangered because poachers hunt them in order to sell tiger pelts and elephant ivory.

At least 4,000 elephants are killed each year in order to meet the global demand for
elephant ivory, which is used to make carvings, jewelry and other products although it is
illegal to sell ivory since 1989 anywhere.

“Americans should be aware that there is still a problem with elephant poaching and loss
to the illegal ivory trade,” Ginette Hemley, Fund's vice president for species
conservation, told The Washington Post in September. And so our message is, ‘Don’t buy
if, and don’t take that chance’.”

A Wildlife Fund report states that the United States seized 8,300 illegal ivory items
between 1995 and 2002. Each week there are about 1,000 ivory auctions, the report said.

As for tigers, their parts are used in traditional Chinese medicine. Tiger bones are used as
a pain reliever in traditional medicine. Even tiger’s whiskers are sold because some
people in Asia think they are a good-luck charm - like a rabbit's foot in ‘the Unites State.
"Part of our job is education,” said Professor Dillon. "The other part is law enforcement.
So we have more than one strategy."

Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer.

Many countries are now growing palm oil trees to gain energy. The rush to energy
derived from plants will lead to deforestation, push small farmers off the land and lead to
serious food shortages and increased poverty unless it is carefully managed. Rich
countries want to see crops grown for fuel to help stabilize the price of oil, open up new
markets. But the United Nations urges governments to beware their impacts. The report,
which predicts winners and losers, will be studied carefully bio-fuel industry which wants
to provide 25% of the world’s energy within 20 years. 17 countries have committed
themselves to erowing the crops on a large scale. It has been said that 10% of all fuel
must come from bio-fuels by 2020. The crops have the potential to stabilize the price of
oil, but forests are being cut to grow plantations of palm oil trees. These crops will take
the best land, which will increase global food prices. Growing bio-fuel crops can be
harmful to farmers who do not own their own land, and to the poor who buy food. Using
bio-fuels results in some reductions in emissions but we cannot fight climate change by
large scale deforestation. Investments need to be planned carefully to avoid generating
new environmental and social problems.

Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer.

Today from crude oil we make gasoline for our cars, diesel fuel for our trucks and ships,
and jet fuel for our airplanes. Crude oil is a mixture of organic chemicals of liquids and
dissolved gases which are of little use in its crude state. In addition, oil is used to generate
electricity, heat our buildings, lubricate our machines, and even make plastics, detergents,
and chemicals. Oil has transformed our daily lives. In fact, nearly one-third of the world’s
oil comes from offshore fields in our oceans. Areas which are the most popular for oil
drilling are the Arabian Gulf, and the Gulf of Mexico. Recently, more attention has been
focused on finding and producing oil offshore. One of the first offshore oil rigs was built
in 23 feet of water in the Gulf of Mexico in 1947. Because of engineering and
technological advances, it is possible to operate in deeper and more hostile waters. We
can now build platforms for oil production taller than most of the world’s skyscrapers and
anchor them to the sea floor in waters deeper than 1300 feet. The larger platforms hold
thousands of tons of equipment and can accommodate hundreds of people who work and
live there to ensure that oil is produced around the clock.

The Asian Games owes its origins to small Asian multi-sport competitions. The Far
Eastern Championship Games were created to show unity and cooperation among three
nations: Japan, the Philippines and China. The first games were held in Manila, the
Philippines in 1931. Other Asian nations participated after it was organized.

After World War II, a number of Asian countries became independent. Many of the new
independent Asian countries wanted to use a new type of competition where Asian
dominance should not be shown by violence and should be strengthened by mutual
understanding. In August 1948, during the 14th Olympic Games in London, Indian
representative Guru Dutt Sondhi proposed to sports leaders of the Asian teams the idea of
having discussions about holding the Asian Games. They agreed to form the Asian
Athletic Federation. A preparatory committee was set up to draft the charter for the Asian
amateur athletic federation. In February, 1949, the Asian athletic federation was formed
and used the name Asian Games Federation. It was decided to hold the first Asian Games
in 1951 in New Delhi the capital of India. They added that the Asian Games would be
regularly held once every four years.

Stamp collecting is the collecting of postage stamps and related object such as envelopes
or packages with stamps on them. It is one of the world's most popular hobbies, with
estimates of the number of collectors ranging up to 20 million in the United States alone.

Many collectors enjoy accumulating stamps without worrying about the tiny details, but
the creation of a large or comprehensive collection generally requires some philatelic
knowledge. This is especially important for those who intend to spend large amounts for
stamps.

Stamp collectors are an important source of revenue for some small countries that create
limited runs of elaborate stamps designed mainly to be bought by stamp collectors. The
stamps produced by these countries far exceed the postal needs of the countries.

Some collectors, observing the generally rising prices of rare stamps, have taken to
Philatelic Investment. Rare stamps are among the most portable investments, and are easy
to store. They offer an attractive alternative to art, other collectible investments, and
precious metals.

Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer.

The hobby of collecting consists of acquiring specific items based on a particular interest
of the collector. These collections of things are often highly organized, carefully
cataloged, and attractively displayed. Since collecting depends on the interests of the
individual collector, it may deal with almost any subject. The depth and breadth of the
collection may also vary.

Some hobbies result in an end product of sorts. Examples of this would be woodworking,
software projects, artistic projects, creating models out of card or paper called papercraft
up to higher end projects like building or restoring a car, or building a computer from
scratch. While some of these may just be for the enjoyment of the hobbyist, there have
been instances where it has come into demand at the request of friends or passerbys
observing said project. At this point it has the potential to become a small business.

Recreation is the use of time in a manner designed for refreshment of one’s body or
mind. In our modern time, people have to work hard to earn a living with a lot of hard
work, so the need for recreation has grown. The weekend is typically a time for
recreation, perhaps because the Sunday is “the day of rest.” Holiday is also a common
time for recreation. Traditionally, music and dance serve as recreation in many cultures.
Playing sports, hobbies, games and tourism are popular forms of recreation. Watching
TV and listening to music are also common. In recent years, more ‘exciting’ forms of
recreation have received more public attention, such as skiing, nowboarding, skydiving,
hang-gliding, rock climbing, backpacking, and adventure tourism. Some recreational
activities are made illegal such as gambling and drug use. Research has shown that
recreation contributes to life satisfaction, quality of life, health and wellness, and that the
use of recreation as a diversion may have clinical applications to individuals with chronic
pain and other health impairments. In some cultures and religions, recreation is
encouraged on certain days. Recreation is essential to the longevity of human beings. It is
roughly the opposite of stress. Today, stress is the number one killer in the United States
according to Time magazine.

You have probably heard about the unappealing dried foods that astronauts eat in space,
such as the chalky ice cream and powdered pea soup. That means all the water is
removed from those foods. But did you know that there are more than 90 different food
and drink items on NASA’s space menu? (NASA is the American government
organization concerned with spacecraft and space travel. NASA is an abbreviation for
‘National Aeronautics and Space Administration’)

Many food items are dehydrated to prevent bacteria growing, so water must be added
before consumption. But some foods look like those ready meals you find in the
supermarkets, made hot in the microwave. In fact, the chefs have recently provided some

351

Earth, getting to taste it all first beforehand.

Drinking is another matter. Although much is brought up with the astronauts and in cargo
deliveries, a lot is recycled from human waste water. Yes, the water they use could have
been someone else’s urine a day ago. You cannot be squeamish if you are an astronaut!

Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer.

361
Over half of all astronauts suffer Space Motion Sickness — a severe form of car sickness.
This is because the fluids in the inner ear no longer have the pull of gravity on them to
keep them level, and they float about. This sends a signal to the brain that the body is
moving. However, the brain is already getting a signal from the eyes saying that the body
is not moving like that, and the conflicting signals cause confusion and nausea. Similarly,
other fluids in the body are no longer pulled down as they were on Earth - instead they
move towards the astronaut’s head, making their face appear red and puffy. The
astronauts call this “tomato head.” Consequently, the volume of fluid in the legs is
reduced, so they get very skinny. The astronauts call this “chicken legs.” Tomato headed
astronauts feel like they had a head cold, all stuffed up,and their food tastes bland to
them. Many items they chose for their menu now taste like paste. Although Tomato Head
seems just a funny side effect of being in orbit, it is actually a serious condition. After
about three days, the astronauts' fluids have reduced by a third - truly dehydrating them.
This can cause light-headedness and fainting on return to Earth.
