IV.  Reading Comprehension (30 points, 2 points each)

Questions 36 – 45:

Read Passages 1 & 2. Choose an appropriate answer to complete each statement after the passages. Write your answers on the Answer Sheet.

Passage 1

Making Smart Fast-Food Choices

Fast Food Can Be Good Food

Many people are too busy to prepare and eat three nutritious meals a day. So they turn to the convenience of fast-food restaurants. Many of the items at fast-food restaurants, snack bars, and food stands are fattening and not very nutritious. But fast food doesn’t have to be unhealthy. You can eat at fast-food restaurants and still eat well.

Pay Attention to Calories and Fat Content

By paying attention to the number of calories and fat that a food item has, you can make smarter choices. Calories are “units for measuring how much energy a food will produce.” Consider two fast-food meals. A quarter-pound hamburger with cheese, jumbo-size fries, and a 16-ounce soda have a total of 1,535 calories and 76 grams of fat. A broiled (cooked under direct heat or over a flame) chicken sandwich, a side salad with low-fat dressing, and a glass of water at the same fast-food restaurant have only 422 calories and 7 grams of fat. But maybe you really want a hamburger and fries. Well, you can have a small hamburger, a small serving of fries, and a glass of water. At a total of 490 calories and 20 grams of fat, that’s still a much smarter choice than the large burger, fries, and soda.

There’s More That You Can Do

There are a few additional things you can do to make sure you eat well in fast food restaurants. First of all, say “no” when the cashier asks you if you want to “supersize” your meal (order an extra large portion of each item). Second, ask for no mayonnaise or sauce, or ask for it on the side (in a separate dish). Third, substitute (use something instead of something else) healthy foods for fatty ones. For example, instead of ordering deep-fried tempura, order fresh vegetables. Instead of ordering a beef burrito with lots of cheese and sour cream, order a vegetable burrito with beans and rice. And don’t eat the chips! Another thing you can do is order a side salad or a vegetable soup and eat it first. That way, you’ll eat some vegetables, and you won’t be able to eat as much of your burger and fries. Finally, eat slowly and stop eating when you’re full. It sounds simple, but many people keep eating even after they become full.

Passage 2

Dealing with Difficult People

“I try to get along with John, but we seem to be on different wavelengths.”

“The atmosphere always seems to be tense when Michelle’s in the room.”

Sound familiar? Unfortunately, some people are more difficult to get on with than others. Let’s have a look at six ‘difficult’ personality types, and offer some advice on how to deal with them.

THE KNOW-IT-ALL

The first on the list is ‘the know-it-all’. Know-it-alls see themselves as experts on everything. (51)They appear knowledgeable and will speak confidently about almost any subject, often making other people feel stupid or inferior. This personality type is conceited and competitive and is likely to react to others’ ideas or arguments angrily or dismissively.

First of all, don’t take their behaviour personally: it affects most people that they come into contact with.(52) Know-it-alls are driven by a need to control and they use their knowledge as a ‘shield’ to protect themselves from uncertainty. So in order to cope with this type, you need to get them to consider your ideas without directly questioning their expertise. This means that you need to be well-prepared and diplomatic.

THE CRY BABY

Next is ‘the cry baby’. As the name suggests, the cry baby behaves like a child when they don’t get their own way. They use moodiness to manipulate other people. They’ll go away and sulk, giving you the ‘silent’ treatment, or they’ll complain and even start to rant and rave about how nobody listens to them or takes them seriously, etc. This infantile and inappropriate behaviour can be very annoying.

You need to find out why the cry baby acts like they do.(53) If they are selfishly looking for attention, your best policy is simply to ignore them. However, if their behaviour stems from a real lack of confidence, they need support and encouragement.

THE BOSSY-BOOTS

Next on the unwanted list is ‘the bossy-boots’. This type of person is always telling other people what to do. They have a very strong personality and will walk all over you if you let them. They are so used to doing things their way, that they have pushiness down to a fine art. A lot of the time you’ll find yourself doing what they want, just for a quiet life.

Don’t try to beat a bossy-boots at their own game: there’s no point in telling them what to do. Your first task is to learn to say ‘No’. This will be difficult initially, but after you’ve said it once, it’ll get much easier. The trick is to remain calm and polite: this way you’ll be able to stand up to them without being drawn into a fight or an argument.

THE LOOSE CANNON

The next type we’ll look at is ‘the loose cannon’.(54) Like a cannon which is not tied down and rolls around on the deck of a ship, this personality type is unpredictable and can cause problems. A loose cannon tends to act impulsively without thinking about the consequences. Understandably, people feel anxious around them because they appear to be out of control and unapproachable.

A loose cannon needs to be made aware that their behaviour is irresponsible and of the effect their actions have on other people. You can do this, not by reacting negatively at the time of an incident, but by waiting until you are both calm later and quietly describing what happened.

THE WET BLANKET

Most people have come across the next type, ‘the wet blanket’, at some time in their lives. Wet blankets are negative and critical. They don’t seem able to see the positive in any situation and always think that the worst will happen. Their attitude makes them appear insensitive and spoils things for other people.

You have two options with the wet blanket. You can try to show them the positive where they see the negative. Or you can take what they say at face value, so for example, when you invite them to a picnic at the weekend and they say it’ll probably rain, you simply reply: ‘OK, so you don’t want to come, then?’

THE SPACE CADET

The last type is ‘the space cadet’. This kind of person is intriguing because they seem to be in a world of their own and are out of touch with reality. (55)They have difficulty paying attention or remembering things, and sometimes behave strangely, which can make other people feel uncertain.

This type can be frustrating, but they are not likely to provoke very negative reactions. Try instead to make the best of their uniqueness and don’t put them in a position where you need to rely on them for anything.

Passage 3

The Secret World of Animals

There is a long history of animals being used to defend and protect us — from Hannibal’s elephants to guide dogs for the blind. But nowadays there’s a whole new dimension to what animals can do — including spying missions!

Codename: Mr. Codfish

       (46)             They can see and hear extremely well underwater, and are able to detect enemy swimmers and sea mines. Traditionally, human divers have had to do this job but now they don’t need to, as sea lions can stay underwater for much longer periods. They have been so successful that the Navy might start using other marine animals for this work.

Codename: Goldwing

Pigeons were extensively used as messengers in the two World Wars and were so important that UK citizens couldn’t shoot them. They had two crucial qualities: they were able to find their way home from anywhere and could fly at great speed. (47)         Another equally heroic pigeon had to wear a camera around its neck and was supposed to take photos. Unfortunately he couldn’t fly very far with it, but still succeeded in returning on foot two days later!

Codename: Squeaksqueak- bang-bang

       (48)              Rats can do the job very well because of their excellent sense of smell. They have to run around a specified area and are supposed to stop and scratch the ground when they smell explosives. More than 50 people a day are killed or injured by landmines but rats have been able to reduce this risk. On one occasion, they managed to find nine mines in one day, and are sure to get better at it in future.

       (49)             One animal rights supporter said, ‘Why has such cruelty to animals been allowed in this country? Ordinary people can’t treat animals badly but scientists are allowed to. There’s so much technology these days, they needn’t use sea lions! Missions like this can be very dangerous, and the animals could die. In fact, they might! But nobody will ever tell us.        (50)             They should be free!’
