IX. Read the text carefully then decide whether the following statements are true (T) or false (F).

Many students listen to music while they are studying, and say that it helps them learn. Many parents and teachers say that music is just distracting, and that students are better studying in silence. Who is right? In a study, some scientists asked three groups of students to listen to a piece of music by Mozart or a relaxation tape for ten minutes, or just sit in silence for ten minutes. The students then did a ‘spatial reasoning’ test (a test about remembering shapes and imagining looking at objects from different directions), and the ones who had listened to the Mozart did better in the test. Taking part in musical activities and learning to play an instrument can improve verbal memory (the ability to remember words). The longer the training lasts, the better the improvement in the memory. So, there’s no excuse to give up the piano lessons! 

53. Many students think it’s helpful to listen to music when studying. 

54. Teachers say music helps students to better concentrate. 

55. The students who had listened to Mozart did better in the spatial reasoning test. 

56. Music training helps to improve memory

Many people still believe that natural resources will never be used up. Actually, the world’s energy resources are limited. Nobody knows exactly how much fuel is left. However, we also should use them economically and try to find out alternative sources of power. According to Professor Marvin Burnham of the New England Institute of Technology, we have to start conserving coal, oil and gas before it is too late; and nuclear power is the only alternative.

However, many people do not approve of using nuclear power because it’s very dangerous. What would happen if there was a serious nuclear accident? Radioactivity causes cancer and may badly affect the future generations.

………46. Natural resources will never run out.

………47. We don’t know exactly how much fuel is left.

A volunteer group came to our little village last month. When they arrived at the end of the path leading to the village, the village children ran after them and we heard their loud songs. On the first day, they had a talk with the head of the village in the morning, and later on with the villagers in the evening.

They brought lots of things with them such as clothes, food, and school things. During the day, they did a lot of different and helpful things for US. They repaired the furniture in our village school and also fixed the houses for elderly people, they dug some new wells so that we could get more fresh water. They gave notebooks and pencils to the school children. In the evening, they taught the village children songs and games.

Life in our village became newer and more exciting. Everyone had a good time.

Read the following passage carefully, and then decide whether the following statements are True (T),  False (F) or No  Given (N) . (5 ms) 

             A combination of sewage, salt, air pollution, sun, sand and wind may destroy the huge statue on the outskirts of Cairo. This statue of the sun god has the body of a lion and the face of a human being. It is five thousand years old, but it is too badly damaged to be completely saved.

             The statue has already been dug out of the sad three times. However, the latest problems are much more serious. First, there are no proper drains and water pipes in the neighborhood and the underground passages round the statue have become blocked. Too much water has been running into the stone statue for several years. As a result, tiny pieces of salt have been left on the stone and have damaged it.

Secondly, air pollution from the increasing amount of traffic in Cairo is also destroying the ancient statue. The air is so full of poisonous gases that it is making the stone crumble and decay even faster.

             Thirdly, the statue is being damaged by extremes of temperature.  For example, although the air is very cold at night, during the day the stone of the statue becomes very hot under the strong sun. Other natural forces such as serve sandstorms also attack the statue.

             Finally, the tourists who visit the statue everyday also cause a lot of damage.

1. The statue is in the center of Cairo.

2. Part of the statue looks like a lion and part like a person.

3. The underground passages round the statue are full of waste and water.

4. High temperatures damage stone far more than low temperature.

5. Fortunately, little damage is caused by visitors to the statue.

II.  Read the text, then decide whether the following statements are true (T) or false (F).

      These are some easy habits that help you stay healthy and live longer.

      Go for a jog

      Exercise is key to good health. Aerobic activity, like running, is crucial for getting your blood pumping and your heart working. A recent study showed that people who run have 25 to 40 per cent reduced risk of early death, and live about three years longer.

      Get more sun - but not too much

      The “sunshine vitamin” – vitamin D, that is – has been shown to fight to disease, improve bone health, and prevent depression. Concerns over skin cancer are well-founded, and sunblock is generally a good idea. But getting 15 to 30 minutes of sun exposure a day should be adequate for vitamin D production.

      Stress less

      The impact of stress on our overall health is huge, so reducing stress is one way to lower our risk of many deadly diseases.

      Eat more fruits and veggies

      If you want to live longer, eat more fruits and vegetables. The vitamins, minerals, and most importantly, the fibre help control satiety so you do not need to eat much of the animal foods. High fibre diets promote lower cholesterol levels, and reduce the risk of heart disease and cancers such as colon cancer.

1.   One of the most important things you can do to stay healthy is to exercise.

2.   Vitamin D comes from the sun.

3.   Getting too much sun can be harmful.

4.   Stress doesn’t impact on your health.

5.   Fruits and vegetables contain vitamins, minerals and fibre.

6.   A high fibre diet can cause heart disease and colon cancer.
