Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions.
Almost everybody has had acne. Acne, also known as pimples or zits, is a normal part of growing up.
When kids reach puberty, their bodies experience many changes. As the levels of hormones in teenager’s
bodies change, teenagers frequently develop pimples. Additionally, many people continue to have
pimples after puberty. What can a teenager or an adult do to cure pimples? Unfortunately, many cures
people think will work on pimples are really just myths.
Many people believe that popping pimples is the best way to get rid of them. Popping a pimple will
actually push the germs further under the skin, which can cause more redness and pain, or even turn into
an infection. For that reason, dermatologists normally encourage people not to pop their pimples.
Another widely believed myth is that not wearing makeup can help reduce a person’s chance of
developing pimples. In fact, some kinds of makeup or face creams actually have special medicine in them
to fight pimples. As a result, not all of them are bad for you.
Another myth is that stress can cause acne. Stress comes in many forms, like a big exam at school or
problems with friends. Whilst it is true that stress can cause a person’s skin to create extra oil, this extra
oil does not necessarily cause more pimples.

A. It is not as good as washing one’s face.
B. It may lead to skin irritation or even infection.
C. It is of no use when people reach puberty.
D. It will increase the level of hormones.

B. Makeup cream will increase the amount of oil on skin.

 One of the factors contributing to the intense nature of twenty-first-century stress is our continual
exposure to media – particularly to an overabundance of news. If you feel stressed out by the news, you
are far from alone. Yet somehow many of us seem unable to prevent ourselves from tuning in to an
extreme degree.
The further back we go in human history, the longer news took to travel from place to place, and the
less news we had of distant people and lands altogether. The printing press obviously changed all that, as
did every subsequent development in transportation and telecommunication.
When television came along, it proliferated like a poplulation of rabbits. In 1950, there were 100,000
television sets in North American homes; one year later there were more then a million. Today, it’s not
unusual for a home to have three or more television sets, each with cable access to perhaps over a
hundred channels. News is the subject of many of those channels, and on several of them it runs 24 hours
a day.
What’s more, after the traumatic events of September 11, 2001, live newcasts were paired with
perennial text crawls across the bottom of the screen – so that viewers could stay abreast of every story all
the time.
Needless to say, the news that is reported to us is not good news, but rather disturbing images and
sound bytes alluding to diasater (natural and man-made), upheaval, crime, scandal, war, and the like.
Compounding the proplem is that when actual breaking news is scarce, most broadcasts fill in with
waistline, hairline, or very existence in the future. This variety of story tends to treat with equal alarm a
potentially lethal flu outbreak and the bogus claims of a wrinkle cream that overpromises smooth skin.
Are humans meant to be able to process so much trauma – not to mention so much overblown
anticipation of potetial trauma – at once? The human brain, remember, is programmed to slip into alarm
mode when danger looms. Danger looms for someone, somewhere at every moment. Exposing ourslves
to such input without respite and without perspective cannot be anything other than a source of chronic
stress.
Question 40: According to the passage, which of the following has contributed to the intense nature of
twenty-first-century stress?
A. An overabundance of special news. B. The degree to which stress affects our life.
C. Our inability to control ourselves. D. Our continual exposure to the media.
Question 41: In the past, we had less news of distant people and lands because ______.
A. means of communication and transprotation were not yet invented
B. the printing press changed the situation to slowly
C. printing, transportation, and telecommunications were not developed
D. most people lived in distant towns and villages
Question 42: The word “traumatic” in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to _______.
A. boring B. fascinating C. upsetting D. exciting
Question 43: According to the passage, when there is not enough actual breaking news, broadcasts
______.
A. are full of dangerous diseases such as flu
B. send out live newscasts paired with text across the screen
C. send out frightening stories about potential dangers

 D. are forced to publicise an alarming increase in crime
Question 44: Which of the following is NOT true, according to the passage?
A. The news that is reported to us is not good news.
B. Many people are under stress caused by the media.
C. Many TV channels supply the public with breaking news.
D. The only source of stress in our modern life is the media.
Question 45: The word “anticipation” in paragraph 6 is closest in meaning to ______.
A. expectancy B. casuistry C. hesitation D. frustration
Question 46: According to the passage, our continual exposure to bad news without perspective is
obviously ________.
A. the result of human brain’s switch to alarm mode B. a source of chronic stress
C. the result of an overabundance of good news D. a source of defects in human brain
Question 47: What is probably the best title for this passage?
A. Effective Ways to Beat Stress B. More Modern Life – More Stress
C. The Media – A Major Cause of Stress D. Developments in Telecommunications

Question 49: It was very important for Jill to go home to see her sister's new baby girl, whatever the cost

A. Even though Jill wanted very much to fly home and meet her sister’s baby girl, the fare was too
much for her.
B. Jill didn’t care about the cost of the ticket, since the only thing she wanted was to get home to
meet her sister’s new-born daughter.
C. Because Jill doesn’t have a lot of money, flying home to meet her sister’s new daughter was less
important to her than the cost of the ticket.
D. Knowing how important it was for Jill to meet her new niece, Jill’s sister took care of the cost of
the ticket so that she could fly home and do so.
