Study groups are commonly utilized by many student to prepare themselves

for class discussions, examinations, or class presentation. They can also do it to
review their weak points and learn new ideas. I myself find tstudy gruop on some
point a necessity to learn effectively. However, I can’t deny that study group have
also some disadvantages.
On it’s positive side a study groups gives the students motivation to study and
update their readings because most of their buddies give them encouragement. It
also helps them to learn new ideas as well as important points they missed on their
readings. Most of the members in my study group are very often sharing what they
know. This alert me that I should update my readings so I could also share something.
On the other hand, the disadvantage of a study group is the part of compelling
the student to attend to it after class or during their rest days. Commitment among
each member is also an important aspect in study group. Hence, the members of a
study group have to set aside other activities to study together.
To Join a study group or not is the student’s own choice, because there are
other students who learn better when they do it alone. If a student thinks he/she will
be learning effectively in in joining or having a group, he/she had better go on and
enjoy the fun way of learning.

Vegetarians, about 3,2% of the US population, do not eat meat. The US

Departement of Agriculture does not only include meat as part of balanced diet, but it
also states that a vegetarian diet can meet "the recommended dietary allowances for
nutrients"
Many proponents of vegetarianism say that eating meat harms health, wastes
resources, causes deforestationm and created pollution They often argue that
killing animals for food is cruel and unethical since non-animal food sources are
pletiful.
Humans evolved to be primarily vegetarian. Humans do not have the large
mouth or, long, pointed teeth of carnivores. Human teeth are short and flat for
chewing fibrous food. The liver of a carnivore can detoxify the excess vitamin A
absorbed from a meat-based diet. The human liver cannot excess vitamin A
It is unnecessary to take an animal's life when vegetarian options are available.
In the US about 35 million cows, 115 million pigs, and 9 billion birds are killed for food
each year. These animals should not have to die to satisfy an unnecessary dietary
prefrence.
On the other hand, many opponents of a vegetarian diet say that moderate
meat consumtion is healthy, humane and that producing vegetables causes many of
the same environmental probles as producing meat.
Eating meat is not cruel or unethical. Every organism on eary dies, at some
points, so others can live. There is nothing wrong with this cycle: it is how nature
works. Humans have been eating meat in their ancestral diet provided a dense form
of nutrients and protein that, when combined with high-calorie low nutrient
carbohydrates such as roots, allowed us to develop our large brains and intelligence.
Meat is the most covenient protein sources since it provides all 10 essential
proteins (amino acids), as well as essential nutrients such as iron , zinc and the B
vitamins, in one serving. Most individual plant foods do not provide adequate levels of
all 100 essential proteins in a single serving
In my opinion, meat eaters don't need to feel guilty. Everything we consume,
including vegetables or meat, has environmental, ethical, and health consequences.

22. All in all, the writer seems to disagree with the arguments started by …. ?
a. Animal lovers
b. Opponents of vegetarianism
c. Meat eaters
d. The US Departement of Agriculture
e. Proponents of vegetarianism

Nature VS Nurture
People wondered for a long time how their personalities and behaviors are
formed. Two distinct schools of thought on the matter have develop. The two
approaches are very different from each other. The controversy is often referred to as
nature and nurture.
Those who support the nature side of the conflict believe that our personalities
and behavior patterns are largely determined by biological and genetic factors. That
our environment has little to do with our abilities, characteristics, and behavior is
central to this theory.
Proponents of the nurture theory claim that our environment is more important
than our biologically based instinct in determining how we will act. They see humans
as beings whose behavior is almost completely shaped by their surroundings.
Neither of these theories can yet fully explain human behavior . In fact, it is
quite likely that the key to our behavior lies somewhere between these two extremes.
That the controversy will continue for a long time is certain.

23. What does the writer think about the controversy above ?
a. It is easily solved now
 b. It will not end soon
c. It will be confusing
d. It is over now
e. It has really ended

a. Human personalities are developed for a long time.
b. Genetic factors play big roles in a person behavior.
c. Our abilities are determined by our biological parents.
d. Our environment plays important role in our personalities.
e. Our behavior isn’t determined by our surrounding.

25. The main idea of the first paragraph is . . . .

a. there are two opinions about what determines our personalities
b. personalities and behavior are formed by nature and environment
c. the nature and nurture are two matters that determine our personalities
d. the environment has no influence on the formation of our personalities
e. there is a conflict between nature supporters and environment supporters

Balancing High School and Part-Time Work

You have to consider a number of factors when deciding whether or not to get
a job. The important thing is to arm yourself with as much information as possible, so
you can figure out what choice makes the most sense for you.
If you are considering working part-time, schedule a meeting with your school
counselor to discuss this move. Talk to your counselor about why you want to work
and what type of position you’re seeking. Simply explaining your goals to someone
else can help you make decisions and figure out your priorities.
Schoolwork, including homework and studying for tests, should always be your
top priority. “The activities and courses students choose vary considerably, so it’s
important for young people to keep their individual situations clearly in mind,” says
Brad McGowan, director of the Career Centre at Newton North High School in
Massachusetts. Further, McGowan cautions students who do decide to work: “If you
are rushing through your assignment or not studying enough for tests because of
work, it’s time to cut back or quit and find a less time-consuming job.” He adds,
“Students should always let their employers know what their time limits are.” If you
are being pressured to work more hours than you can handle, you need to find a new
place to work. You also need to make sure that a job won’t prevent you from getting
enough rest.

The government has just published a report which suggest that television is
partly responsible for the serious increase in crime over the last ten years. The
exposure of violence or pornography harmfully effects on children.
Many people who are alive today know what it is like to live in a world without
television. Television as we know is only about forty years old. Yet it is so much a
part of our lives that it seems as if it had always existed.
Some people think that the years before the invention of television were a
better time. They claim that families talked more and did more things together. More
books were read. People used their imaginations more fully. People got more outdoor
exercises.
But others disagree. They claim that television is a powerful educational tool. It
informs us of what is going on in the world, from a famine in Africa to a local politics
and fashion. It helps us understand how people live, work, and struggle.
In 1961, Newton Minow, a government official, called prime-time schedules “ a
vast wasteland ”. Television is credited with being a great teacher, but it is also
blamed for the poor reading and writing skills of our population. Television gets
praised for helping us understand the people of the world. But it has been accused of
helping to destroy family life. Television keeps us informed about the political issues
of the day.
Experts will probably continue to argue about television’s value. But everyone
agrees that it is one of the most significant inventions of the twentieth century.

28. Many people claim that television is a powerful educational tool. From this
statement we know that they ….. with the existence of television.
a. Love
b. Agree
c. Prefer
d. Satisfy
e. choose

29. The writer wants to tell …..

a. the development of television
b. the advantages of television program
c. how television destroys people’s life
d. how television improves people’s knowledge
e. the influence of television on people’s daily life

There are a lot of discussions as to whether children should be given homework or

not.

Some people claim that children to enough work in school already. They also argue
that children have hobbies that they want to do after school, such as sports or music.
A further point they make is that a lot of homework is pointless and doesn't help the
child learn at all.
However, there are also strong arguments against this point of view. Parents and
teachers argue that it is important to find out whether children can work on their own
without the support from the teacher. They say that the evening is a good time for
children to sit down and think about what they have learned in school.

Furthermore they claim that the school day is too short to get anything done that
needs doing and it makes sense to send home tasks like independent reading or
further writing tasks that don't need teacher's support.

On balance, I think that some homework is a good idea but that it should only given
at the weekend when children have more time.

30. How many reasons are presented by those who are against homework ....
a. 1
b. 2
c. 3
d. 4
e. 5

Most people agree that some form of family limitation or spacing is desirable
for the good of the family and society. But individuals and groups– especially religious
groups–differ sharply on the methods of birth control that they consider moral and
acceptable.
Couples that practice birth control do so for various reasons. They may want to
limit or space their children or to have no children at all. Young couples often
postpone having children so that both partners can work full-time. Other couples
space their children so they can give each child as much attention as possible. Some
women are advised by their doctors to avoid pregnancy for health reasons. In many
countries with rapidly growing populations, the government encourages couples to
limit the size of their families.
Even though birth control has gained in acceptance, opposition to the practice
is continuous. Some people fear that birth control encourages sexual relations
outside marriage or that government might impose birth control. Some religious
groups oppose birth control on moral grounds.
Some religious groups teach that artificial methods of birth control are immoral
because they separate the two purposes of intercourse in marriage–conjugal love
and the procreation of children. Although they oppose all artificial birth control, they
consider natural family planning acceptable.
