Questions 16-20 are based on the conversation you have just heard.

17. Running up and down the court, what may the man suffer from?

18. Which of the following statement is true?

19. What is the first advice the woman made?

20. What can be inferred from the talk?

 

Passage Two

 

If you want to stay young, sit down and have a good think. This is the research finding of a team of Japanese doctors, who say that most of our brains are not getting enough exercise and as a result, we are aging unnecessarily soon.

 

Professor Taiju Matsuzawa wanted to find out why otherwise healthy farmers in northern Japan appeared to be losing their ability to think and reason at a relatively early age and how the process of aging could be slowed down.

 

With a team of colleagues at Tokyo National University, he set about measuring brain volumes of a thousand people of different ages and varying occupations.

 

Computer technology enabled the researchers to obtain precise measurements of the volume of the front and side sections of the brain, which relate to intellect and emotion, and determine the human character. The rear section of the brain, which controls functions like eating and breathing, does not contract with age, and one can continue living without intellectual on emotional faculties. Contraction of front and side parts-as cells die off-was observed in some subjects in their thirties, but it was still not evident in some sixty-and seventy-year-olds.

 

Matsuzaswa concluded from his tests that there is a simple remedy to the contraction normally associated with age-using the head.

 

The findings show in general terms that contraction of the brain begins sooner in people in the country than in the towns. Those least at risk, says Matsuzawa, are lawyers, followed by university professors and doctors. White collar workers doing routine work in government offices are, however, as likely to have shrinking brains as the farm worker, bus driver and shop assistant.

 

Matsuzawa's findings show that thinking can prevent the brain from shrinking. Blood must circulate properly in the head to supply the fresh oxygen the brain cells need."The best way to maintain good blood circulation is through using the brain."he says."Think hard and engage in conversation. Don't rely on pocket calculators."

 

Questions 21-25 are based on the passage you have just heard.

21. What did the team of doctors wanted to find out?

22. On what are their research findings based?

23. What did the doctor's test show?

24. What did Matsuzawa's findings show?

25. According to the passage, which people seem to age slower than the others?

 

Passage Three

 

There are some steps you can take yourself to avoid catching a cold. Contrary to popular belief, colds are not caused by exposure to severe weather. Colds are caused by viruses harbored in the body, and you're better off out on the ski slopes or even waiting for the bus on a snowy day than you are in a toast warm room, surrounded by friends, co-workers, or fellow students, who just may be passing the virus around. If you feel a chill when you're coming down with a cold, you're already sick. A chill is an early symptom: it's the cold that caused the chill, not the other way around.

 

While the virus can spread through droplets propelled into the air when a cold-sufferer coughs or sneezes, surprisingly, this is not the most common route of transmission. Numerous studies have now shown that the overwhelming majority of colds are "caught" by hand contact. A cold-sufferer rubs her nose, thereby transferring the virus to her hand. Then a friend comes to visit. "Don't kiss me," she cautions, so the friend steps back and presses her hand. The friend then wipes her own nose or eye-and several days later is stricken with a cold. Or parents pick up their child's discarded tissues and throw them away but fail to wash their hands afterward.

 

Cold virus also can be transferred to objects-telephones, towels, plates-and remain infectious for up to three hours. Frequent hand washing-on the part of the cold-sufferer as well as other members of the household-will minimize the spread of viruses in this way.

 

Questions 26-30 are based on the passage you have just heard.

 

26. Which of the following steps will most probably cause one to catch a cold?

27. If you feel a chill, what does it mean?

28. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

29. What should we do to prevent viruses from spreading?

30. Which of the following will most likely get a man to be stricken with a cold?
