He says that exercising with music can improve athletic performance by 15 percent The music must be carefully chosen so that the tempo or "beat" is synchronized with the exercise you are doing According to Professor Karageorghis, music also makes you feel less pain and makes an exercise session less boring and more enjoyable Gym chain, Fitness First, recognizes the importance of music to workouts and plays music in all its clubs The most popular song for male gym members is Survivor's Eye of the Tiger, while women love Abba's Dancing Queen Music works well with weightlifting, and other repetitive actions, but it can also help with running The best example of this is Haile Gebreselassie, perhaps the world's greatest distance runner, who used the techno-pop song Scatman as a metronome when he broke the world 2,000 meter record But if music was so important to Gebreselassie, why other top runners never race with headphones? Karageorghis says "Research has shown that for most top athletes music is less effective Elite athletes focus more on their bodies, and less on outside stimuli like music." So although music can help amateur runners run faster and further, most top athletes prefer silence (Adapted from American English File by Christina Latham-Koenig, Clive Oxeden and Paul Seligson) Question 31 Which could be the best title for the passage?

That is an economist's question, but one that 18th century author Jonathan Swift also wanted to answer Gulliver's Travels features a race of humans, the Struldbrugs, who were normal in all respects except one Their immortality, instead of being a blessing, was a curse, because they continued to age 'At 90, they lose their teeth and hair; they have at that age no distinction of taste, but eat and drink whatever they can get, without relish or appetite' In a recent article, centenarian Walter James wrote a poignant account of the deprivations of age Though he still cooks and looks after himself, does the crossword, enjoys a glass of whisky and can recall events from his past with clarity, what he cannot recover are the sensations that accompanied the events Such observations are bound to make those younger wonder-is ageing, at the rate those of us fortunate enough to live comfortable lives are achieving, something to be celebrated or feared? The pace of advance is astonishing As recently as 1980, scientists believed that age 85 would mark a natural limit for average life expectancy In Japan that barrier was passed for women in 2007 In the UK, average life expectancy for both sexes born today is over 90 What worries most people about ageing is losing their faculties and the ability to perform the daily tasks of living - eating, dressing, bathing and getting around The trends in this regard are worrying The good news is that despite increases in chronic conditions such as diabetes and arthritis, earlier diagnosis and improved treatments have rendered these conditions less disabling One suggestion, proposed by Professor Kaare Christensen, of the Danish Ageing Research Centre, is to extend working lives by shortening the working week ‘The 20th century was a century of redistribution of income’ Professor Christensen says ‘The 21st century could be a century of redistribution of work Redistribution would spread work more evenly across populations and over the ages of life Preliminary evidence suggests that shortened working weeks over extended working lives might further contribute to increases in life expectancy and health.’ Work till you are 100?
