Trang 12Mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the word that differs from the other three in the position of the main stress in each of the following questions.
An Australian group named Action Council on Smoking and Health (ACSH) has recently lobbied to make
warnings on cigarette packets more graphic The council proposed that striking visual photos of diseased organsshould be put on at least 50% of outside packaging, in conjunction with health warnings outlining smoking hazards enumerated in a separate leaflet placed inside the cigarette packet The ACSH claim that bland and ineffectual warnings like “Smoking is a health hazard” currently found on cigarette packets are not nearly sufficient
Substituting those inadequate admonitions with explicit photos will provide a powerful visual stimulus to help
smokers relinquish their habit The current cautions on cigarette packets have little or no impact on smokers who have grown immune to the warnings that focus on abstract tobacco related risks and illnesses from which
Trang 13cigarette, rather than a generic cautionary word of advice The ACSH cited the results of recent studies
conducted by psychologists at McKean University confirming that evidence related to one’s own experience is more effective at influencing future behavior than a presentation of facts and figures A further rationale for the addition of pictures to cigarette packages is the finding that smokers handle their packets 20 – 30 times a day,
on average, thus, if graphic pictures on cigarette packets were introduced, smokers would have 20 – 30 chances
to face the harsh reality of what damage they are doing to themselves each time they light up
Even more essential than the pictures on the outside label, ACSH strongly advocate including warnings and helpful information in a leaflet inserted into the packet of cigarettes Even an analgesic, ACSH adds, found in every bathroom cabinet has all possible side effects enumerated in the insert How much more imperative is it then when the substance in question is tobacco, a dried weed that contains highly noxious nicotine that society still accepts even though it kills one of every two of its users
Fundamentally, what is at stake here is consumer rights Smokers should know what substances they are
inhaling, and what damage they are inflicting to their bodies, though surprisingly, even today, many do not For this reason alone, the recommendation for more graphic pictures and warnings on cigarette packets, which many seem excessive, is being seriously considered
37.It can be inferred from the passage that .
A: smokers look at their cigarette packages each time they take out a cigarette
B: society will not continue to condone smoking if it is proven even more dangerous than was
previously assumed
C: cigarette manufacturers would comply with regulations ordering them to add graphic pictures
of diseased organs to their outside packaging

D: evidence related to one’s own experience has a more long-lasting effect than future behavior

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions
Experts say that if you feel drowsy during the day, even during boring activities, you haven’t had enough sleep
If you routinely fall asleep within five minutes of lying down, you probably have severe sleep deprivation, possibly even a sleep disorder Microsleeps, or even brief episodes of sleep in an otherwise awake person, are another mark of sleep deprivation In many cases, people are not aware that they are experiencing microsleeps The widespread practice of “burning the candle at both ends” in Western industrialized societies has created so much sleep deprivation that what is really abnormal sleepiness is now almost the norm
Many studies make it clear that sleep deprivation is dangerous Sleep-deprived people who are tested by using adriving simulator or by performing a hand-eye coordinator task perform as badly as or worse than those who areintoxicated Sleep deprivation also magnifies alcohol’s effects on the body, so a fatigued person who drinks will become much more impaired than someone who is well rested Driver fatigue is responsible for an estimated 100,000 motor vehicle accidents and 1,500 deaths each year, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Since drowsiness is the brain’s last step before falling asleep, driving while drowsy can – and
