Many people continue to skip breakfast despite its being the most important meal of the day.
Busy people often rush out the door in the mornings without giving their bodies the fuel they need to handle
a long day at work. They end up feeling tired by the afternoon and resort to the office snack machine or biscuit tin.
Loysa Hourigan, from Nutrition Australia, said that catching up on food at lunchtime did not provide the body
with enough sustenance to keep it going for the rest of the day. Even if you have had lunch, you wont have as
much food as you need. Your brain gets depleted of glucose and you feel tired, Ms. Hourigan said.

provide protein, which helps people to be alert. Rolled oats are also an excellent endurance food.

(96-100).Read the following passage and choose the best answer for each question.
Paper is named for papyrus, a reed like plant used by ancient Egyptians as writing material more than 5,000
years ago. The Chinese invented the paper that we use 2000 years ago.

A piece of paper is really made up of tiny fibers, unlike a piece of material. The fibers used in paper, however,
are plant fibers, and there are millions of them in one sheet. In addition to the plant fiber, dyes and additives such
as resin may be used. Dyes can make the paper different colors; resin may add weight and texture.
Where do these fibers come from? The majority of paper is made from the plant fiber that comes from trees.
Millions are cut down, but new trees are planted in their place. Paper may be also made from things like old rags or
pieces of cloth. Wastepaper, paper that has been made and used, can be turned into recycled paper. This recycling
process saves forest and energy and reduces air and water pollution.

(81-85). Read the following passage and choose the correct answer A, B, C or D
Many people continue to skip breakfast despite its being the most important meal of the day.
Busy people often rush out the door in the mornings without giving their bodies the fuel they need to handle
a long day at work. They end up feeling tired by the afternoon and resort to the office snack machine or biscuit tin.
Loysa Hourigan, from Nutrition Australia, said that catching up on food at lunchtime did not provide the body
with enough sustenance to keep it going for the rest of the day. Even if you have had lunch, you wont have as
much food as you need. Your brain gets depleted of glucose and you feel tired, Ms. Hourigan said.
According to Ms. Hourigan, wholegrain bread and cereals provide endurance. Milk, eggs, and baked beans
provide protein, which helps people to be alert. Rolled oats are also an excellent endurance food.

Paper is named for papyrus, a reed like plant used by ancient Egyptians as writing material more than 5,000
years ago. The Chinese invented the paper that we use 2000 years ago.

A piece of paper is really made up of tiny fibers, unlike a piece of material. The fibers used in paper, however,
are plant fibers, and there are millions of them in one sheet. In addition to the plant fiber, dyes and additives such
as resin may be used. Dyes can make the paper different colors; resin may add weight and texture.
Where do these fibers come from? The majority of paper is made from the plant fiber that comes from trees.
Millions are cut down, but new trees are planted in their place. Paper may be also made from things like old rags or
pieces of cloth. Wastepaper, paper that has been made and used, can be turned into recycled paper. This recycling
process saves forest and energy and reduces air and water pollution.
