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.
Why is it that flying to New York from London will leave you feeling less tired than flying to
London from New York? The answer may be a clear case of biology not being able to keep up with
technology. Deep inside the brain there is a “clock” that governs every aspect of the body’s
functioning: sleep and wake cycles, levels of alertness, performance, mood, hormone levels,
digestion, body temperature and so on. It regulates all of these functions on a 24-hour basis and is
called the circadian clock (from the Latin, circa “about” + dies “day”).
This body clock programmes us to be sleepy twice a day, between 3-5 a.m and again between 3-
5 p.m. Afternoon tea and siesta times are all cultural responses to our natural biological sleepiness
in the afternoon. One of the major causes of the travelers’ malady known as jet lag is the non-
alignment of a person’s internal body clock with clocks in the external world. Crossing different
time zones confuses the circadian clock, which then has to adjust to the new time and patterns of
light and activity. To make matters more complex, not all internal body functions adjust at the same
rate. So your sleep/wake may adjust to a new time zone at one rate, while your temperature adjusts
at a different pace. Your digestion may be on a different schedule altogether.
Though we live in a 24-hour day, the natural tendency of the body clock is to extend our day
beyond 24 hours. It is contrary to our biological programming to shrink our day. That is why
travelling in a westward direction is more body-clock friendly than flying east. NASA studies of
long haul pilots showed that westward travel was associated with significantly better sleep quantity
and quality than eastward flights. When flying west, you are “extending” your day, thus travelling
in the natural direction of your internal clock. Flying eastward will involve “shrinking” or reducing
your day and is in direct opposition to your internal clock’s natural tendency.
One of the more common complaints of travelers is that their sleep becomes disrupted. There are
many reasons for this: Changing time zones and schedules, changing light and activity levels,
trying to sleep when your body clock is programmed to be awake, disruption of the internal
circadian clock and working longer hours. Sleep loss, jet lag and fatigue can seriously affect our
ability to function well. Judgment and decision-making can be reduced by 50%, attention by 75
percent, memory by 20 percent and communication by 30 percent. It is often suggested that you
adjust your watch as soon as you board a plane, supposedly to try to help you adjust to your
destination’s schedule as soon as you arrive. But it can take the body clock several days to several
weeks to fully adjust to a new time zone.
Question 31: The main function of the body clock is to_________
A. govern all the body’s responses. B. regulate the body’s functions.
C. help us sleep. D. help us adapt to a 24-hour cycle.

A. the programme B. the body clock C. the function D. the brain

A. illness B. bore C. thought D. feeling

A. helps you sleep better. B. alters your body’s natural rhythms.
C. affects the degree of jet lag. D. extends or shrinks your body clock.
Question 35: According to the article, _________
A. various factors stop us sleeping when we fly.
B. travelers complain about the negative effects of flying.
C. flying seriously affects your judgment and decision-making.
D. jet lag can affect different abilities differently.
Question 36: On the subject of avoiding jet lag the article_________
A. makes no suggestion

B. Travelers’ attention is reduced by 75 percent.
C. The traveler’s internal circadian clock has to adjust to patterns of light and activity.
D. Travelers fly in the natural direction of their internal clock.

A. travelers have to spend more money flying westward than eastward.
B. there are more travelers in westward flights than in eastward ones.
C. westward travelers become friendlier than eastward ones.
D. travelers do not sleep as well in eastward flights as in westward ones.

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 following questions.
The ability to conduct electricity is one of the key properties of a metal. Other solid material
such as silicon can conduct electricity but only effectively at certain temperatures. Also, some
substances such as salt (sodium chloride) can conduct when molten or when dissolved in water.
The ability of metals to conduct electricity is due to how their atoms bond together. In order to
bond together the metal atoms lose at least one of their outermost electrons. This leaves the metal
atoms with a positive charge and they are now strictly ions. The lost electrons are free to move in
what are known as a sea of electrons. Since the electrons are negatively charged they attract the
ions and this is what keeps the structure together.
An electric current is a flow of charge and since the electrons in the sea of electrons are free
to move they can be made to flow in one direction when a source of electrical energy such as a
battery is connected to the metal. Hence we have an electric current flowing through the wire, and
this is what makes metals such good conductors of electricity. The only other common solid
conducting material that pencil users are likely to encounter is graphite (what the ‘lead’ of a pencil
is made from). Graphite is a form of carbon and again the carbon atoms bond in such a way that

there is a sea of electrons that can be made to flow as an electric current. Likewise, if we have an
ionic substance like salt we can make the electrically charged ions flow to create a current but only
when those ions are free to move, either when the substance is a liquid or dissolved in water. In its
solid state an ionic substance like salt cannot conduct electricity as its charged ions cannot flow.
Electrical insulators are substances that cannot conduct electricity well either, because they
contain no charged particles or any charged particles they might contain do not flow easily. Water
itself is a poor conductor or electricity as it does not contain a significant amount of fully charged
particles (the ends of a water molecule are partly charged but overall the molecule is neutral).
However, most water we encounter does contain dissolved charged particles, so it will be more
conductive than pure water. Many of the problems that occur when touching electrical devices with
wet hands result from the ever-present salt that is left on our skin through perspiration and it
dissolves in the water to make it more conductive.
By Helena Gillespie and Rob Gillespie. Science for Primary School Teacher. OUP
