WAYS TO IMPROVE YOUR MEMORY
A good memory is often seen as something that comes naturally, and a bad memory as something that
cannot be changed, but actually (31) is a lot that you can do to improve your memory.
We all remember the things we are interested in and forget the ones that bore us. This no doubt explains
the reason (32) schoolboys remember football results effortlessly but struggle with dates from their
history lessons! Take an active interest in what you want to remember, and focus on it (33) . One way
to ‗make‘ yourself more interested is to ask questions — the more the better!
Physical exercise is also important for your memory, because it increases your heart (34) and sends
more oxygen to your brain, and that makes your memory work better. Exercise also reduces stress, which is
very bad for the memory.
The old saying that ―eating fish makes you brainy‖ may be true after all. Scientists have discovered that the
fats (35) in fish like tuna, sardines and salmon — as well as in olive oil — help to improve the memory.
Vitamin-rich fruits such as oranges, strawberries and red grapes are all good ‗brain food‘, too.

It used to be that people would drink coffee or tea in the morning to pick them up and get them going for
the day. Then cola drinks hit the market. With lots of caffeine and sugar, these beverages soon became the
pick-me-up of choice for many adults and teenagers. Now drink companies are putting out so-called "energy
drinks." These beverages have the specific aim of giving tired consumers more energy.
One example of a popular energy drink is Red Bull. The company that puts out this beverage has stated in
interviews that Red Bull is not a thirst quencher. Nor is it meant to be a fluid replacement drink for athletes.
Instead, the beverage is meant to revitalize a tired consumer's body and mind. In order to do this, the makers
of Red Bull, and other energy drinks, typically add vitamins and certain chemicals to their beverages. The added
chemicals are like chemicals that the body naturally produces for energy. The vitamins, chemicals, caffeine, and
sugar found in these beverages all seem like a sure bet to give a person energy.
Health professionals are not so sure, though. For one thing, there is not enough evidence to show that all of
the vitamins added to energy drinks actually raise a person's energy level. Another problem is that there are so
many things in the beverages. Nobody knows for sure how all of the ingredients in energy drinks work together.
Dr. Brent Bauer, one of the directors at the Mayo Clinic in the US, cautions people about believing all the
claims energy drinks make. He says, ―It is plausible if you put all these things together, you will get a good
result.‖ However, Dr. Bauer adds the mix of ingredients could also have a negative impact on the body. ―We just
don't know at this point,‖ he says.

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 43 to 50.
What is ‗extreme‘ weather? Why are people talking about it these days? ‗Extreme‘ weather is an unusual
weather event such as rainfall, a drought or a heat wave in the wrong place or at the wrong time. In theory,
they are very rare. But these days, our TV screens are constantly showing such extreme weather events. Take
just three news stories from 2010: 28 centimetres of rain fell on Rio de Janeiro in 24 hours, Nashville, USA, had
33 centimetres of rain in two days and there was record rainfall in Pakistan.
The effects of this kind of rainfall are dramatic and lethal. In Rio de Janeiro, landslides followed, burying
hundreds of people. In Pakistan, the floods affected 20 million people. Meanwhile, other parts of the world suffer
devastating droughts. Australia, Russia and East Africa have been hit in the last ten years. And then there are
unexpected heat waves, such as in 2003 in Europe. That summer, 35,000 deaths were said to be heat-related.
So, what is happening to our weather? Are these extreme events part of a natural cycle? Or are they caused
by human activity and its effects on the Earth‘s climate? Peter Miller says it‘s probably a mixture of both of these
things. On the one hand, the most important influences on weather events are natural cycles in the climate. Two
of the most famous weather cycles, El Niño and La Niña, originate in the Pacific Ocean. The heat from the warm
ocean rises high into the atmosphere and affects weather all around the world. On the other hand, the
temperature of the Earth‘s oceans is slowly but steadily going up. And this is a result of human activity. We are
producing greenhouse gases that trap heat in the Earth‘s atmosphere. This heat warms up the atmosphere,
land and oceans. Warmer oceans produce more water vapour – think of heating a pan of water in your kitchen.
Turn up the heat, it produces steam more quickly. Satellite data tells us that the water vapour in the atmosphere
has gone up by four percent in 25 years. This warm, wet air turns into the rain, storms, hurricanes and typhoons
that we are increasingly experiencing. Climate scientist, Michael Oppenheimer, says that we need to face the
reality of climate change. And we also need to act now to save lives and money in the future.

The concept of urban agriculture may conjure up images of rooftop, backyard or community gardens
scattered among downtown city streets and surrounding neighborhoods. But in the Seattle area, and within
and beyond the Puget Sound region, it means a great deal more. “Urban agriculture doesn’t necessarily
equate to production that occurs only in a metropolitan urban area,” says Jason Niebler, who directs the
Sustainable Agriculture Education (SAgE) Initiative at Seattle Central Community College. “It means we are
providing for growing population food needs from surrounding rural landscapes, as well as from the core
urban landscape.”
Picture a series of concentric circles, with an urban core that produces some food at varying capacities,
surrounded by a series of outlying rings of small farms that become increasingly more rural with distance. The
hope is that such land use planning, from the inner core to the outer rings, will encourage local ecologically
sound sustainable food production. This, in turn, will create local jobs and decrease reliance on distant food
products that originate from petroleum-intensive large scale farms.
That’s the idea behind SAgE, believed to be the nation’s first metropolitan-based community college
sustainable agriculture program that emphasizes farming practices across diverse landscape types from urban

Plants and animals will find it difficult to escape from or adjust to the effects of global warming. Scientists
have already observed shifts in the lifecycles of many plants and animals, such as flowers blooming earlier and
birds hatching earlier in the spring. Many species have begun shifting where they live or their annual migration
patterns due to warmer temperatures.
With further warming, animals will tend to migrate toward the poles and up mountainsides toward higher
elevations. Plants will also attempt to shift their ranges, seeking new areas as old habitats grow too warm. In
many places, however, human development will prevent these shifts. Species that find cities or farmland
blocking their way north or south may become extinct. Species living in unique ecosystems, such as those
found in polar and mountaintop regions, are especially at risk because migration to new habitats is not
possible. For example, polar bears and marine mammals in the Arctic are already threatened by dwindling
sea ice but have nowhere farther north to go.
Projecting species extinction due to global warming is extremely difficult. Some scientists have estimated
that 20 to 50 percent of species could be committed to extinction with 2 to 3 Celsius degrees of further

Overpopulation, the situation of having large numbers of people with too few resources and too little
space, is closely associated with poverty. It can result from high population density, or from low amounts of
resources, or from both. Excessively high population densities put stress on available resources. Only a certain
number of people can be supported on a given area of land, and that number depends on how much food
and other resources the land can provide. In countries where people live primarily by means of simple
farming, gardening, herding, hunting, and gathering, even large areas of land can support only small numbers
of people because these labor-intensive subsistence activities produce only small amounts of food.

sheet to indicate the correct word or phrase for each of the blanks from 51 to 60.
The first American immigrants, beginning more than 20,000 years ago, were intercontinental
wanderers: hunters and their families following animal (51) from Asia to America, across a
land bridge where the Bering Strait is today. (52) Spain’s Christopher Columbus “discovered”
the New World in 1492, about 1.5 million Native Americans lived in what is now the continental
United States, although estimates of the number (53) greatly. Mistaking the place where he
landed – San Salvador in the Bahamas – (54) the Indies, Columbus called the Native
Americans “Indians.”
During the next 200 years, people from several European countries followed Columbus across the
Atlantic Ocean to explore America and (55) up trading posts and colonies. Native Americans
suffered (56) from the influx of Europeans. The transfer of land from Indian to European –
and later American – hands (57) accomplished through treaties, wars, and coercion, with
Indians constantly giving (58) as the newcomers moved west. In the 19th century, the
government’s preferred solution to the Indian “problem” was to force tribes to inhabit specific plots
of land called reservations. Some tribes fought to keep from (59) land they had traditionally
used. In many cases the reservation land was (60) poor quality, and Indians came to depend
on government assistance. Poverty and joblessness among Native Americans still exist today.

Read the following passage on learning by Mazur, James E, and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on
your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 71 to 80.
Learning means acquiring knowledge or developing the ability to perform new behaviors. It is
common to think of learning as something that takes place in school, but much of human learning
occurs outside the classroom, and people continue to learn throughout their lives.
Even before they enter school, young children learn to walk, to talk, and to use their hands to
manipulate toys, food, and other objects. They use all of their senses to learn about the sights, sounds,
tastes, and smells in their environments. They learn how to interact with their parents, siblings,
friends, and other people important to their world. When they enter school, children learn basic
academic subjects such as reading, writing, and mathematics. They also continue to learn a great deal
outside the classroom. They learn which behaviors are likely to be rewarded and which are likely to
be punished. They learn social skills for interacting with other children. After they finish school,
people must learn to adapt to the many major changes that affect their lives, such as getting married,
raising children, and finding and keeping a job.
Because learning continues throughout our lives and affects almost everything we do, the study of
learning is important in many different fields. Teachers need to understand the best ways to educate
children. Psychologists, social workers, criminologists, and other human-service workers need to
understand how certain experiences change people’s behaviors. Employers, politicians, and
advertisers make use of the principles of learning to influence the behavior of workers, voters, and
consumers.
Learning is closely related to memory, which is the storage of information in the brain.
Psychologists who study memory are interested in how the brain stores knowledge, where this storage
takes place, and how the brain later retrieves knowledge when we need it. In contrast, psychologists
who study learning are more interested in behavior and how behavior changes as a result of a
person’s experiences.
There are many forms of learning, ranging from simple to complex. Simple forms of learning
involve a single stimulus. A stimulus is anything perceptible to the senses, such as a sight, sound,
smell, touch, or taste. In a form of learning known as classical conditioning, people learn to associate
two stimuli that occur in sequence, such as lightning followed by thunder. In operant conditioning,
people learn by forming an association between a behavior and its consequences (reward or
punishment). People and animals can also learn by observation - that is, by watching others perform
behaviors. More complex forms of learning include learning languages, concepts, and motor skills.

th
The issue of equality for women in British society first attracted national attention in the early 20
century, when the suffragettes won for women the right to vote. In the 1960s feminism became the
subject of intense debate when the women’s liberation movement encouraged women to reject their
traditional supporting role and to demand equal status and equal rights with men in areas such as
employment and pay.
Since then, the gender gap between the sexes has been reduced. The Equal Pay Act of 1970, for
instance, made it illegal for women to be paid less than men for doing the same work, and in 1975 the
Sex Discrimination Act aimed to prevent either sex having an unfair advantage when applying for
jobs. In the same year the Equal Opportunities Commission was set up to help people claim their
rights to equal treatment and to publish research and statistics to show where improvements in
opportunities for women need to be made. Women now have much better employment opportunities,
though they still tend to get less well-paid jobs than men, and very few are appointed to top jobs in
industry.
In the US the movement that is often called the “first wave of feminism” began in the mid 1800s.
Susan B. Anthony worked for the right to vote, Margaret Sanger wanted to provide women with the
means of contraception so that they could decide whether or not to have children, and Elizabeth
Blackwell, who had to fight for the chance to become a doctor, wanted women to have greater
opportunities to study. Many feminists were interested in other social issues.
The second wave of feminism began in the 1960s. Women like Betty Friedan and Gloria Steinem
became associated with the fight to get equal rights and opportunities for women under the law. An
important issue was the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA), which was intended to change the
Constitution. Although the ERA was not passed, there was progress in other areas. It became illegal
for employers, schools, clubs, etc. to discriminate against women. But women still find it hard to
advance beyond a certain point in their careers, the so-called glass ceiling that prevents them from
having high-level jobs. Many women also face the problem of the second shift, i.e. the household
chores.

It’s often said that we learn things at the wrong time. University students frequently do the
minimum of work because they’re crazy about a good social life instead. Children often scream
before their piano practice because it’s so boring. They have to be given gold stars and medals to be
persuaded to swim, or have to be bribed to take exams. But the story is different when you’re older.
Over the years, I’ve done my share of adult learning. At 30, I went to a college and did courses in
History and English. It was an amazing experience. For starters, I was paying, so there was no
reason to be late – I was the one frowning and drumming my fingers if the tutor was late, not the
other way round. Indeed, if I could persuade him to linger for an extra five minutes, it was a bonus,
not a nuisance. I wasn’t frightened to ask questions, and homework was a pleasure not a pain. When I
passed an exam, I had passed it for me and me alone, not for my parents or my teachers. The
satisfaction I got was entirely personal.

In the West, cartoons are used chiefly to make people laugh. The important feature of all these
cartoons is the joke and the element of surprise which is contained. Even though it is very funny, a
good cartoon is always based on close observation of a particular feature of life and usually has a
serious purpose.
Cartoons in the West have been associated with political and social matters for many years. In
wartime, for example, they proved to be an excellent way of spreading propaganda. Nowadays
cartoons are often used to make short, sharp comments on politics and governments as well as on a
variety of social matters. In this way, the modern cartoon has become a very powerful force in
influencing people in Europe and the United States.
Unlike most American and European cartoons, however, many Chinese cartoon drawings in the
past have also attempted to educate people, especially those who could not read and write. Such
cartoons about the lives and sayings of great men in China have proved extremely useful in bringing
education to illiterate and semi-literate people throughout China. Confucius, Mencius and Laozi have
all appeared in very interesting stories presented in the form of cartoons. The cartoons themselves
have thus served to illustrate the teachings of the Chinese sages in a very attractive way.
In this sense, many Chinese cartoons are different from Western cartoons in so far as they do not
depend chiefly on telling jokes. Often, there is nothing to laugh at when you see Chinese cartoons.
This is not their primary aim. In addition to commenting on serious political and social matters,
Chinese cartoons have aimed at spreading the traditional Chinese thoughts and culture as widely as
possible among the people.
Today, however, Chinese cartoons have an added part to play in spreading knowledge. They offer
a very attractive and useful way of reaching people throughout the world, regardless of the particular
country in which they live. Thus, through cartoons, the thoughts and teachings of the old Chinese
philosophers and sages can now reach people who live in such countries as Britain, France, America,
Japan, Malaysia or Australia and who are unfamiliar with the Chinese culture.
Until recently, the transfer of knowledge and culture has been overwhelmingly from the West to
the East and not vice versa. By means of cartoons, however, publishing companies in Taiwan, Hong
Kong and Singapore are now having success in correcting this imbalance between the East and the
West.
Cartoons can overcome language barriers in all foreign countries. The vast increase in the
popularity of these cartoons serves to illustrate the truth of Confucius’s famous saying “One picture is
worth a thousand words.”

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 33 to 42.
Though called by sweet-sounding names like Firinga or Katrina, tropical cyclones are
huge rotating storms 200 to 2,000 kilometers wide with winds that blow at speeds of more
than 100 kilometers per hour (kph). Weather professionals know them as tropical
cyclones, but they are called hurricanes in the Caribbean Sea, typhoons in the Pacific
Ocean, and cyclones in the Indian Ocean. They occur in both the northern and southern
hemispheres. Large ones have destroyed cities and killed hundreds of thousands of
people.
Tropical cyclones begin over water that is warmer than 27 degrees Celsius (80 degrees
Fahrenheit) slightly north or south of the earth’s equator. Warm, humid air full of water
vapor moves upward. The earth’s rotation causes the growing storm to start to rotate
around its center (called the eye). At a certain height, the water vapor condenses,
changing to liquid and releasing heat. The heat draws more air and water vapor upward,
creating a cycle as air and water vapor rise and liquid water falls. If the cycle speeds up
until winds reach 118 kilometers per hour, the storm qualifies as a tropical cyclone.
Most deaths in tropical cyclones are caused by storm surge. This is a rise in sea level,
sometimes seven meters or more, caused by the storm pushing against the ocean’s
surface. Storm surge was to blame for the flooding of New Orleans in 2005. The storm
surge of Cyclone Nargis in 2008 in Myanmar pushed seawater nearly four meters deep
some 40 kilometers inland, resulting in many deaths.
It has never been easy to forecast a tropical cyclone accurately. The goal is to know when
and where the next tropical cyclone will form. “And we can’t really do that yet,” says
David Nolan, a weather researcher from the University of Miami. The direction and
strength of tropical cyclones are also difficult to predict, even with computer assistance.
In fact, long-term forecasts are poor; small differences in the combination of weather
factors lead to very different storms. More accurate forecasting could help people decide
to evacuate when a storm is on the way.

THE DANGERS OF DIETING
Thanks to our modern lifestyle, with more and more time spent sitting down in front of
computers than ever before, the (45) of overweight people is at a new high. As
people frantically search for a solution (46)_ this problem, they often try some of
the popular fad diets being offered. Many people see fad diets (47) harmless ways
of losing weight, and they are grateful to have them. Unfortunately, not only don’t fad
diets usually (48)_ _ the trick, they can actually be dangerous for your health.
Although permanent weight loss is the (49) , few are able to achieve it. Experts
estimate that 95 percent of dieters return to their starting weight, or even (50)
weight. While the reckless use of fad diets can bring some (51) results, long-term
results are very rare.

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 55 to 64.
The concept of urban agriculture may conjure up images of rooftop, backyard or
community gardens scattered among downtown city streets and surrounding
neighborhoods. But in the Seattle area, and within and beyond the Puget Sound region, it
means a great deal more. “Urban agriculture doesn’t necessarily equate to production that
occurs only in a metropolitan urban area,” says Jason Niebler, who directs the Sustainable
Agriculture Education (SAgE) Initiative at Seattle Central Community College. “It means
we are providing for growing population food needs from surrounding rural landscapes,
as well as from the core urban landscape.”
Picture a series of concentric circles, with an urban core that produces some food at
varying capacities, surrounded by a series of outlying rings of small farms that become
increasingly more rural with distance. The hope is that such land use planning, from the
inner core to the outer rings, will encourage local ecologically sound sustainable food
production. This, in turn, will create local jobs and decrease reliance on distant food
products that originate from petroleum-intensive large scale farms.
That’s the idea behind SAgE, believed to be the nation’s first metropolitan-based
community college sustainable agriculture program that emphasizes farming practices
across diverse landscape types from urban centers to surrounding rural environs. “It’s
small scale agriculture with an urban focus,” Niebler says. “Any urban population, large
or small, can practice sustainable agriculture, improve food security and protect the
environment, which ultimately results in resilient food systems and communities.”
SAgE is a part of the National Science Foundation’s Advanced Technological Education
(ATE) Program, which is providing the project with $157,375 over two years. ATE’s goal
is to support projects that strengthen the skills of technicians who work in industries
regarded as vital to the nation’s prosperity and security. The support largely goes to
community colleges that work in partnership with universities, secondary schools,
businesses and industries, as well as government agencies, which design and implement
model workforce initiatives.
The SAgE project focuses on the environmental, socioeconomic, political and cultural
issues related to sustainable food systems within Puget Sound watersheds through student
and community education and research, and technological innovation. The curriculum
offers courses that cover such issues as agricultural ecology, urban food systems, food
politics and ethics, soil science, sustainable food production and technology, the
integration of food and forests, and career opportunities.
“We’ve created a curriculum that is fundamental in nature, addressing the principles of
sustainable agriculture and what a food system is – how it functions both locally and
globally,” Niebler says. “These courses are challenging, robust and inspirational. One of
the really wonderful things about them is that we offer service learning opportunities,
where students volunteer a portion of their time to working with local partner
organizations. They can do a research project, or a service learning option. The ideal
would be to prompt students into careers that involve sustainable practices in an urban
agriculture setting.”
