Reading comprehension. 30% Passage 1 After a busy day of work and play, the body needs to rest. Sleep is necessary for good health. During this time, the body recovers from the activities of the previous day. The rest that you get while sleeping enables your body to prepare itself for the next day. There are four levels of sleep, each being a little deeper than the one before. As you sleep, your muscles relax little by little. Your heart beats more slowly, and your brain slows down. After you reach the fourth level, your body shifts back and forth from one level of sleep to the other. Although your mind slows down,from time to time you will dream. Scientists who study sleep state that when dreaming occurs, your eyeballs begin to move more quickly (although your eyelids are closed). This stage of sleep is called REM, which stands for rapid eye movement. If you have trouble falling asleep, some people recommend breathing very slowly and very deeply. Othe people believe that drinking warm milk will help make you drowsy. There is also an old suggestion that counting sheep will put you to sleep! ( ) 1. A good title for this passage is__________. A.

He always gives a generous tip to our waitress. If the service is terrible, he keeps back only a few pennies. We recently treated our son and his girlfriend to a seafood feast near Cocoa Beach, Florida. Our waitress, a grandmotherly woman, was skilled in the art of waiting tables. She treated her customers as individuals. She remembered their special tastes, likes, and dislikes. She learnt all of these after only the briefest of conversations. At the end of the meal, this waitress brought the bill , then went to attend to the growing crowd of other diners. My husband paid with a credit card, added her tip, and we were off. After a quick stop in the wash-room, I reentered the lobby in time to see the waitress running out of the dining room waving a receipt at us. “Mr. Goldsmith!” she called. My husband turned. She waved the paper at him. “Thanks for your tip. It was generous of you.” My husband thought the waitress should be paid a little more than what he usually gave. “Wow, Dad,” our son said, sounding like a surprised 10-year-old. “I’ve never seen a waitress follow anyone out of the restaurant to say thank you for the tip.” ( ) 6.

Passage 3 The greatest attraction of walking is that we all know perfectly well how to do it. Because it is a low-impact exercise, it is a good choice for anyone who is overweight and under-exercised. It won’t stress your joints, but it will strengthen your heart and lungs, thigh muscles and burn plenty of calories. A nice, leisurely stroll, in which you cover a mile in an hour, burns about 100 calories per mile. Speeding things up a little ---to 2 miles per hours ----will help you burn 200 calories, while a brisk walk---3 miles per hour---burns 300 calories an hour. Another nice thing about walking is that you can begin your new walking program right now. The sport requires no advanced instruction and little equipment, beyond willing legs and a pair of sturdy shoes. Walking has two other advantages: It can be done anywhere, under any conditions, and it is a very social sport. Simply grab a few friends and turn your daily coffee-and-doughnut break into on-the-road conversation time. You’ll soon be entranced by the beauty of the outdoors and by the emerging beauty of the inner, thinner you. ( ) 11. What is the passage mainly about? A. The types of walking. B.
