Fluids play an important role in your body. With the present demanding lifestyle, their intake is often
overlooked. Establishing a fluid plan is thus essential in your daily life.
One of the most important fluids is water. An average adult loses about one to two litres of
body fluid daily and it is generally recommended that you drink at least eight glasses of water per
day. You can drink it warm or cold. Of course, you can add a slice of lemon or lime to give it a
refreshing taste. Water not only helps you to regulate your body temperature but also to remove
waste from your body.
A glass of low-fat milk is sometime most welcomed. Milk when mixed with chocolate or ice
cream can also be a delight. The calcium and protein in the milk provides growing children with
strong bones and teeth.
Isotonic drinks, which come in various flavours, provide a good way for sportsmen to
replace the loss of electrolytes such as potassium and magnesium chlorides. Soup is an all-time
favourite which supplies a good amount of fluid. Served with some herbs and spices, it is known to
help relieve nasal congestion. In addition, blended fruits and vegetables provide vitamins and
minerals in juice form. Coffee or tea can help you to stay alert when you need to work late. Freshly
brewed coffee or tea is revitalising, however, excessive intake may cause an increase in the flow of
urine.
Your daily life would not be colourful if you had not been spoiled with the many choices of
fluids. So, remember to enjoy the different types of fluids.

Questions 26 32 are based on the following passage.
1 It is wonderful if you like doing something that can be turned into a career. If that
happens, then you have a career which will not appear like work! You can get up
cheerfully and go to work. Look at the number of people who get up on Monday mornings
and moan and groan about lousy hours doing meaningless chores, mean bosses and nasty
customers! They are always waiting to move jobs. Some of them hope they can resign and 5
stay at home but are not able to do so as there are bills to pay. You dont want to be in this
unhappy group.
2 Some people spend years thinking about what they want to do and discover that
their dream career has been right under their nose the whole time. Things people like
doing right now may lead to the best jobs. For example, if you like drawing, you could 10
become an artist. It is not true that artists will starve to death! Just look at the world
around you. Cars, coffee pots, websites they have all been designed by people with an
eye for art, working in careers that pay well.
3 Liana loves tinkering with things. Shes always building things and taking things
apart. Clocks, bikes, CD players nothing is spared. Lianas father always says, Shes 15
clever give her a job, shell find a way to do it. But then again, tearing clocks apart
doesnt exactly pay. Liana is a natural-born engineer, with terrific job prospects. Most of
our human-made world everything from cities to silicon chips is planned, built and
made to work by tinkerers like Liana.
4 Do you wish you had a job that involved risk, like flying helicopters, volunteering 20
in war-torn countries, fighting the bad guys, working among the rich and famous or doing
shows that can take you around the world? There must be something that you really enjoy
doing and if you can identify that, then, bingo! You have found the job that will pay you
well and also nurture your passion for it.
5 There are many different ways to look for career possibilities. The Internet is a 25
great source. Family and friends, too, can help you find out more about jobs. Talking to
people and finding out what it is that they do is also a great way to learn about careers.
Ask people, How did you get the job that you have? What does it take to do what you
do?
6 If you have patience, a dash of kindness, some knowledge of what is right and 30
wrong, a sense of responsibility and the ability to learn new things, you will be able to fit
into many jobs easily. Getting professional qualifications is only a matter of time. Go to a
college or university, get the right training and skills, and you can excel at your job. A lot
of knowledge regarding the job will come to you as you acquire the experience. One
learns a lot by making mistakes and this kind of learning stays with you for a lifetime. 35
Many successful people never went to the university but are a storehouse of knowledge
because of their experience.
7 Take a job that you think will make a difference to the world in some small ways.
Let the job be that of a clerk, a teacher or a carpenter. A moral component is important
because we must feel that we are somehow contributing to the world. Always empower 40
yourself with the knowledge and information as this will give you confidence but do not
forget that we have to work with our conscience. Work is the only thing in the real world
that we can do for more than eight hours a day. We cannot eat for that number of hours.
So work with a sense of duty. That is a must in a humane society.
