Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.

Apples are one of the healthiest foods you can cat every day. A traditional American proverb states: “ 111 apple d dar keeps the doctor all?”. But it does not specifically say anything about the best time of day to eat apples. It is generally believed that eating an apple in the morning is good for people, but eating an apple in the evening is like eating poison.

There is actually a scientific reason behind this belief. One benefi: of apples is that they are a favorable source of fructose, which is a natural form of sugar that gives you a big boost of energy. The energy you get from an apple is longer lasting than that provided by a cup of coffee. Clearly, this is something most people would rather experience in the morning than right before bedtime.

Apples also contain high levels of pectin, a kind of dietary fiber. Fiber stimulates bowel movements, which help maintain the health of your digestive system. But if you eat an apple shortly before going to bed, this can cause problems. While you are asleep, your bowels can fill up with gas, making you feel bloated and uncomfortable. You may also wake up several times to use the bathroom, which will prevent you from getting a good night’s sleep

Other health benefits of apples come from flavonoids, beta carotene, and B vitamins. Flavonoids are the material that gives flowers and fruits their bright

colors, such as the deep red of apples. When eaten, flavonoids can decrease your risk of heart disease, diabetes, and other illnesses. Meanwhile, beta carotene helps prevent cancer, and B vitamins provide the body with a wide variety of important benefits. Apparently, starting your day with an apple

really can keep the doctor away. 31. What is the main idea of the passage?

1. Apples are not as good as people may think. B. Eating an apple in the morning proves beneficial. C. Pectin can cause digestive problems at night.
2. Flavonoids are as good as beta carotene. 32. The word “that” in paragraph 2 refers to
3. an apple B. energy C. sugar D. a cup of coffee 33. The word “stimulates“ in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to
4. prevents B. avoids C. encourages D. creates 34. Which of the following gives people a big boost of energy? A. Fructose
5. Flavonoids C. Beta Carotene
6. Pectin 35. Which of the following is true about flavonoids?
7. They make apples’ colours brighter than those of other fruits. B. They are less important than beta carotene and B vitamins. C. They help prevent the risks of several health problems. D. They may lead to the feeling of being bloated and uncomfortable.

Did you know that some people don’t do their reading assignments? It’s shocking, but it’s true. Some students don’t even read short texts that they are assigned in class. There are many reasons for this. They may be distracted or bored. They may be unwilling to focus. They may be unconfident readers. Whatever the reason, it has to stop today. Here’s why. Reading stimulates your mind. It is like a workout for your brain. When people get old, their muscles begin to deteriorate. They get weaker and their strength leaves them. Exercise can prevent this loss. The same thing happens to people’s brains when they get older. Brain power and speed decline with age. Reading strengthens your brain and prevents these declines.

You can benefit from reading in the near-term too. Reading provides knowledge. Knowledge is power. Therefore, reading can make you a more powerful person. You can learn to do new things by reading. Do you want to make video games? Do you want to design clothing? Reading can teach you all this and more. But you have to get good at reading, and the only way to get good at something is to practice. Read everything that you can at school, regardless of whether you find it interesting. Reading expands your vocabulary. Even a “boring” text can teach you new words. Having a larger vocabulary will help you better express yourself. You will be able to speak, write, and think more intelligently. What’s boring about that? Do not just discount a text because it is unfamiliar to you. Each time you read, you are exposed to new ideas and perspectives. Reading can change the way that you understand the world. It can give you a broader perspective on things. It can make you worldlier. You can learn how people live in faraway places.

ou can learn about cultures different from your own. Reading is good for your state of mind. It has a calming effect. It can lower your stress levels and help you relax. You can escape from your troubles for a moment when you read, and it’s a positive escape. The benefits of reading far outweigh those of acting like a doofus. So do yourself a favor: the next time you get a reading assignment. take as much as you can from it. Squeeze it for every drop of knowledge that it contains. Then move on to the next one.
