Read the passage below and choose the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct
answer to each question.
All creatures need to eat something in order to survive. Fortunately, different
species of animals have different things that they eat as food. No matter what a
creature eats, the food must have enough calories in it to maintain life. Calories, or
the energy stored in the food, provide the fuel animals, including humans, need in
order to live and move about in the world. Any creature that does not consume
enough food, or in other words enough calories, will starve and die.
The term calorie has a scientific meaning. Calorie is a measure of an amount of
energy just like pound is a measure of weight. A calorie is officially defined as the
amount of energy it takes to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1 degree
Celsius, which is 1. 8 degrees Fahrenheit. The term "calorie" and "Calorie" with a
capital C have two different meanings to scientists. The term Calorie (with a
capital C) means one kilocalorie, the amount of energy required to raise the
temperature of one kilogram of water by one degree Celsius. A kilogram is the
same as 1,000 grams and a kilocalorie is 1,000 calories. Food calories are always
measured as Calories but average people don't care much about the difference and
just use the word calories.
Food is composed of proteins, fats and carbohydrates. Nutritionists know that a
gram of protein contains 4 Calories, a gram of fat has 9 Calories, and a gram of
carbohydrate has 4 Calories.
All food contain calories. When we eat something it provides energy for our bodies
to use when we are active. We even need energy or calories while we are sleeping
because, for example, our bodies are still breathing, our heart is pumping, and we
continue to digest the food in our stomachs. If a person eats more food and more
calories than is used up by activity, the body stores the excess calories in case it
might need it later when food might not be available. So a person gains weight due
to the extra food and calories. Similarity, if a person consumes fewer calories than
are used every day over several weeks and is more active, that person will lose
weight.
31. Calorie is a measure of _______.
A. weight        B. distance      C. energy        D. volume
32. Animals that do not consume enough calories over a long time ______.
A. can lose weight                  B. can starve
C. can maintain life                 D. can have a healthy life
33. Humans use calories when _______.
A. running                   B. studying
C. sleeping                  D. A, B and C are correct
34. People gain weight from _______.
A. eating more food and calories than they use up
B. eating fewer food and calories than they use up
C. eating a lot of fat food
D. eating a lot of food and calories when they are active
35. All the following statements are true EXCEPT ______.
A. Eating foods that contains lots of fat cause a person to gain weight faster than
eating protein
B. People normally pay less attention to the difference between “calorie” and
“Calorie”
C. People who are more active, like playing sports or exercising, eat fewer calories
D. People still consume energy while they are sleeping.

VII. Read the passage, and choose the correct answer A, B, C or D for each
question.
Reflexology is a natural treatment dating to ancient times. It is based on the idea
that there are zones, or areas, in the feet and hands that are related to other parts
and systems of the body. For example, the tips of the toes or fingers are related to
head and neck, and the ball of the foot is related to the heart and chest. A
reflexologist applies pressure to specific areas in a patient’s feet and hands to
relieve symptoms or pain in other related areas.
This type of treatment does not cure or diagnose specific health problem, and it
does not involve any medication. Yet many find that it successfully relieves
symptoms of stress and disease. Reflexology is effective for pain, headaches, and
sleeping difficulties, among other ailments. Applying pressure to the feet and
hands relieves tension, improves blood circulation, and relaxes muscles. It
promotes the natural, healthy functions and well-being of the entire body.
Reflexology is often used along with other types of treatments, including
conventional medicine.
This gentle therapy is safe and simple. A reflexologist’s only tools are his or her
hands. Pressure is strong, but not uncomfortable. It’s not uncommon for patients to
fall asleep during treatments.
A typical treatment session lasts one hour. Treatment is usually focused on the feet
for most of the session. A patient is asked to remove his or her shoes and socks, to
sit in a comfortable reclining chair, and then to relax as the reflexologist warms the
patient’s feet with his or her hands and applies pressure to the appropriate parts of
the foot. The last ten minutes of the session are dedicated to the hands.
After relieving specific problems, many patients continue a regular programme of
treatment to maintain good health. Some reflexologists suggest building at least a
five – minute reflexology session into every day for long – term relief of stress and
pain.
Question 30. Reflexology is a natural treatment which is based on the idea
that.......................
A. there are zones or areas in the feet and hands that are related to any parts of the

body
C. we can apply pressure to specific areas in a patient’s feet and hands to cure
diseases
D. pressure on the ball of the foot can cure heart diseases and chest pain

A. giving up using other conventional treatments
B. improving blood circulation
C. relieving tension, pain, sleepless
D. relaxing muscles
Question 32. Reflexology offers the therapy that is...............
A. simple and uncomfortable

VI. Read the text about Adele and answer the questions that follow.
Adele has been one of the world's most well-known singers and songwriters in
recent years. Born in North London in 1988, Adele started singing at a young age
and she was mostly influenced by the Spice Girls. At the age of 16, Adele
composed her first hit song, "Hometown Glory".
When she was a student at the British School for Performing Arts and Technology,
she recorded three songs for a class project. All these songs later were posted on
MySpace.com and became very popular. As a result, she was offered a record deal
from XL Recordings after her graduation. Her first album "19" debuted at number
one on the British charts in 2008.
In March 2008, she did a short tour in America and soon her international career
began. In 2011, her second album, "21", came out. The music on this album was
different from the soul music of "19". It was influenced by American country
music, which Adele was listening to during her tour.
In 2012, she wrote and recorded "Skyfall" for the James Bond film of the same
name. The song sold more than two million copies worldwide and for it Adele won
the Academy Award for Best Original Song.
Since 2012, Adele has won many more awards. She has many fans including other
famous singers because they admire her unique voice and her passion for music.

The Beatles
The Beatles were one of the most influential music groups of the rock era, and
many consider them the best musical group on Earth. Initially, they affected the
post-war baby boom generation of Britain and the U.S during the 1960s, and later
the rest of the world. Certainly, they were the most successful group, with global
sales exceeding 1.1 billion records.
While they were originally famous for light-weight pop music (and the extreme
hysterical reaction they received from young women), their later works achieved a
combination of popular and critical acclaim perhaps unequalled in the 20th
century.
Eventually, they became more than recording artists, branching out into film and -
particularly in the case of John Lennon - political activism. They achieved an
iconic status beyond mere celebrity, with far reaching effects difficult to
exaggerate. The members of the group were John Lennon, Paul McCartney,
George Harrison and Ringo Starr, all from Liverpool, England.
Beatlemania began in the UK and exploded following the appearance of the
Beatles on The Ed Sullivan Show in the United States, on February 9,1964. The
pop-music band became a worldwide phenomenon with worshipful fans, hysterical
adulation, and denunciations by culture commentators and others such as Frank
Sinatra.
Some of this was confusion over the sources of their music (a similar confusion
was evinced in 1956 over Elvis Presley by commentators who were unaware of the
tradition of blues, R&B and gospel out of which Presley emerged), and some of it
was simply an incredulous reaction to the length of their hair. At any rate, it was
regarded by the band members with both awe and resentment.

32. All the members were from Liverpool.
