Para 1:There is no way to measure the value of reading, but we know that books educate and bring great pleasure to people. Many book lovers even join discussion groups so that they can talk about the books they read. Although books are made into movies, the book version is much better. 4 Books are available to everyone at no cost. Public libraries are an American tradition and every library has a large collection of books on every subject. Reading can prepare you for an examination at school, or, if you are wring a report, you can gather facts from a recent edition of an encyclopedia. At your job, reading can helps you get a promotion to higher position. If you like mysteries, you can read about the search for a stolen treasure or a spy on a secret mission. If you like science fiction, you can read about a spacecraft trying to avoid a collision with a meteor or a dangerous experiment that could end in an explosion that would destroy the earth.

Para 2: A book is a collection of leaves of paper, parchment or other materials, bound together along one edge within covers. A book produced in electronic format is known as e- book. In library and information science, a book is called a monograph to distinguish it from serial publications such as magazines, journals or newspapers. A book may be studied by students in the form of a book report. It may also covered by a professional writer as a book review to introduce a new book. When writing systems were invented in ancient civilizations, clay tablets or parchment scrolls were used as books, for example, in the library of Alexandria. Before the invention and adoption of the printing press, almost all books were copied by hand, which made books comparatively expensive and rare. During the early Middle Ages, when only churches, universities, and rich noblemen could typically afford books, they were often chained to a bookshelf or a desk to prevent theft. 86.

In the early Middle Ages, ……………. a. books were cheap b. everybody could afford books c. there were no thieves d. only churches, universities and rich noblemen could afford books Para 31 5 Starting university creates both excitement and anxiety about the move, studying and meeting new people. For some students, this apprehension is quickly overcome after some days; for others the transition takes longer and sometimes they have to suffer from homesickness. Those who are homesick often feel that they have no control over their situations. Besides that, a lot of work to do, many lessons to learn and unhappiness when things are different from their expectations of student life make them feel worse. What might help to overcome the problem? Here are some advice from psychologists: make as many friends as possible, take part in university activities, remember to get enough food and sleep, and the busier you are, the less time you will have to feel homesick or lonely; but remember to establish a balance between work and leisure. 91.

Read the passage and choose the best answer: Human memory, formerly believed to be inefficient is really more sophisticated than of a computer. Researchers approaching the problem from a variety of points of view have all concluded that there is a great deal more stored in our minds than has been generally supposed. Dr. Wilder Penfield, a Canadian neurosurgeon, proved that by stimulating their brains electrically, he could elicit the total recall of specific events in his subjects’ lives. Even dreams and other minor events supposedly forgotten for many years suddenly emerged in detail. The memory trace is the term for whatever is the internal representation of the specific information about the event stored I the memory. Assumed to have been made by structural changes in the brain, the memory trace is not subject to direct observation but is rather a theoretical construct that we use to speculate about how information presented at a particular time can cause performance at a later time. Most theories include the strength of the memory trace as variable in the degree of learning, retention, and retrieval possible for a memory. One theory is that the fantastic capacity for storage in the brain is the result of an almost unlimited combination of interconnections between brain cells, stimulated by patterns of activity. Repeated references to the same information support recall. Or, to say that another way, improved performance is the result of strengthening the chemical bonds in the memory. 35. Compared with a computer, human memory is ……………… 7 a. more complex b. more limited c. less dependable d. less durable 36.
