Passage 2
Exam Fitness
Research has shown that success in exams depends on physical as well as intellectual fitness, and while there is no substitute for studying, keeping yourself in good physical shape will help you to make the most of what you have learned The following advice will enable you to perform at your best at exam time
Exercise — Many people believe that there are two kinds of students: the fit, sun-tanned type with bulging muscles and a low IQ, and the weak, pasty academics, who wear thick glasses and pass all their exams The implication is that students are either intellectual or physical, which is not in fact the case Recent studies have found that students who take regular exercise generally do better at school than those who don't For example, twenty minutes of aerobic exercise will immediately bring about:
• An improved performance in IQ tests
• A reduction in stress
• Improved levels of alertness and concentration
• Faster, clearer and more creative thinking
• An improvement in your memory
So, try to do some aerobic exercise at least three times a week But remember, as exercise peps you up,
it's better not to do it near bedtime It could cause insomnia And on the exam day, exercise before your exam starts, preferably outdoors
Body clocks and sleep — Our bodies and minds are programmed to run to a particular schedule and
our mental and physical abilities change dramatically during the day For example, concentration, memory and the ability to work with our hands, all reach a peak in the afternoon, and fall to a low in the middle of the night Our body clocks are set and kept in sync by daylight which also keeps us alert Confusing your body clock will make you less alert and less effective Lack of sleep will affect a student's ability to read a book and remember things well
Some points to remember:
Trang 5• You should sleep at regular times so as not to confuse your body clock
You must get enough daylight Study in a well-lit room, preferably near a window
• The best times to study are between 9.00 and 12.00 noon, and then late afternoon between 4.00 and 6.00
• The worst times are after lunch, and also late at night Study late at night will disrupt your body clock
• A short nap during the afternoon will help you study and could result in an improved performance
50 What is the point that the author is trying to make?
A He provides advice about how to prepare yourself mentally for examinations
B He helps students prepare mentally and physically for examinations
C He says that physical exercise is more likely to bring about exam success than studying
D He says that our mental and physical abilities change all the time
51 It can be inferred from the passage that
A Students are either intellectual or physical
B There are two basic types of students: intellectual and physical
C Students' physical condition affects how well they do in exams
D Physical students pass all their exams
52 According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?
A Late-night exercise might make it difficult for students to sleep
B Exercise peps you up
C Indoor exercise is preferable
D Students concentrate better if they do exercise
53 Which of the following statements is true?
A People find it most difficult to concentrate in the afternoon
B Study your lessons in the late afternoon because your memory is at its best then
C Your body clock can be confused by regular sleeping time
D Confusing your body clock will result in lack of sleep
54 Which of the following would the author most probably NOT recommend?
A take a daytime sleep B study your lessons in the morning
C study where there is enough light D do no exercise before your exam starts
