C READING I Choose the correct the letter A, B, C or D to fill in the passage Stressful situations that (1) almost everyday in life seem to be unavoidable However, we can little sometimes to avoid a misfortune or an unpleasant occurrence which may (2) us unexpectedly as only it can At such a moment, one may hit the (3) _, give in to the helplessness of the situation or, ideally, put a brave face on it trying to (4) _ the burden Can you (5) _ in your mind an hour spent in a traffic jam, say, this morning? Do you light one cigarette after another? Do you sound the horn every few seconds like the other neurotics? Or you take a different (6) and make good use of the time drawing up a schedule for the days to come? To withstand the stressful moment you can also a crossword puzzle, listen to your favorite music or even compose a menu for your Sunday dinner In fact, whatever way you (7) to the annoying situation, you can exert no impact on it as the traffic jam will only reduce in due (8) _ Nevertheless, your reaction might considerably influence your mood for the rest of the day The inability to confront a stressful occurrence like that with a deal of composure and sensibility adds much more strain to your life and in this way puts your well – being in (9) _ Surprisingly, it is seemingly negligible hardships we stumble on daily that run double the risk of developing serious health disorders rather than our isolated tragedies however painful they may be (10) _that so many of those wretched stresses and inducing troubles affect us in a day, we should, at best, try to avoid them or possibly make radical alterations in the way we lead our daily lifestyles A devise B create C originate D emerge A arise B happen C befall D occur A post B roof C bottom D wall A subsist B remain C cow D bear A envision B observe C picture D image A manner B stance C practice D mode A strike B deal C respond D challege A term B course C timing D period A risk B weakness C insecurity D jeopardy 10 A Providing B Given C Hence D As II Read the following passage and choose the correct answer Bacteria are extremely small living things While we measure our own sizes in inches or centimeters, bacterial size is measured in microns One micron is a thousandth of a millimeter a pinhead is about a millimeter across Rod shaped bacteria are usually from two to tour microns long, while rounded ones are generally one micron in diameter Thus if you enlarged a founded bacterium a thousand times, it would be just about the size of a pinhead An adult human magnified by the same amount would be over a mile(1.6 kilometers) tall Even with an ordinary microscope, you must look closely to see bacteria Using a magnification of 100 times, one finds that bacteria are barely visible as tiny rods or dots One cannot make out anything of their structure Using special stains, one can see that some bacteria have attached to them wavy - looking "hairs" called flagella Others have only one flagellum The flagella rotate, pushing the bacteria though the water Many bacteria lack flagella and cannot move about by their own power while others can glide along over surfaces by some little understood mechanism From the bacterial point of view, the world is a very different place from what it is to humans To a bacterium water is as thick as molasses is to us Bacteria are so small that they are influenced by the movements of the chemical molecules around them Bacteria under the microscope, even those with no flagella, often bounce about in the water This is because they collide with the water molecules and are pushed this way and that Molecules move so rapidly that within a tenth of a second the molecules around a bacterium have all been replaced by new ones even bacteria without flagella are thus constantly exposed to a changing environment Which of the following is the main topic of the passage? (A) The characteristics of bacteria (B) How bacteria reproduce (C) The various functions of bacteria (A) How bacteria contribute to disease Bacteria are measured in (A) inches (B) centimeters (C) microns (D) millimeters Which of the following is the smallest? (A) A pinhead (B) A rounded bacterium (C) A microscope (D) A rod-shaped bacterium According to the passage, someone who examines bacteria using only a microscope that magnifies 100 times would see (A) tiny dots (B) small "hairs" (C) large rods (D) detailed structures The relationship between a bacterium and its flagella is most nearly analogous to which of the following? (A) A rider jumping on a horse's back (B) A ball being hit by a bat (C) A boat powered by a motor (D) A door closed by a gust of wind III Insert ONE word to complete the passage Enjoy the benefits of stress! Are you looking forward to another busy week? You should be according to some experts They argue that the stress encountered in our daily lives is not only good for us, but essential to survival They say that the response to (1) _, which creates a chemical called adrenal in, helps the mind and body to act quickly (2) _ emergencies Animals and human beings use it to meet the hostile conditions which exist on the planet Whilst nobody denies the pressures of everyday life, what is surprising is that we are yet to develop successful ways of dealing with them (3) the experts consider the current strategies to be inadequate and often dangerous They believe that (4) of trying to manage our response to stress with drugs or relaxation techniques, we must exploit it Apparently, research shows that people (5) create conditions of stress for (6) _ by doing exciting and risky sports or looking for challenges, cope much better with life's problems Activities of this type have been shown to create a lot of emotion; people may actually cry or feel extremely uncomfortable But there is a point (7) _ which they realise they have succeeded and know that it was a positive experience This is because we learn through challenge and difficulty That's (8) _ we get our wisdom Few of us, unfortunately, understand this fact For example, many people believe they (9) _ from stress at work, and take time off as a result Yet it has been found in some companies that by far (10) healthiest people are those with the most responsibility So next time you're in a stressful situation, just remember that it will be a positive learning experience and could also benefit your health!
