Last week I took my five-year old son, Willy, to a musical instrument store in my hometown. I wanted to buy him a set of junior drum because his drum teacher advised me to buy him one.

We went there by car. On the way, we saw a policeman standing near a traffic light regulating the passing cars and other vehicles. He blew his whistle now and then.

Hortatory exposition
Anybody who is over the age of six knows that there is nowhere safe for skateboarders to skate. This prevents young people from enjoying an active, energetic and adventurous pastime. Just watch a local street for a short while and note the steady stream of skaters speeding up and down the footpaths. Toddlers can be trampled on and old ladies can be knocked down as they struggle home carrying their cat food from supermarkets. Skateboarding is a serious sport that improves young peoples health. It increases fitness, improves balance and strengthens the joints in knees and ankles. Although it appears to be a solo sport, when groups practice together and compete to perform stunts or runs they form firm friendships.

Young people should be prevented from becoming overweight couch potatoes. If they are actively involved in skating, they do not smoke, take drugs or break laws for fun. Kids will always seek thrills and excitement. They need to practice their 180s, 360s and Ollies free from restrictions. We must build skate parks in the suburbs so that streets are safe for small children and senior citizens and skaters have spaces where they can race, chase, speed, and soar towards the sun. 21. Where do the kids usually ride their skateboard? A. In the main roads and foot paths. B. In front of the supermarket. C. In front of their home. D. In the suburbs. E. In the park. 22. What is the main idea of paragraph 3? A. There is no safe place for skateboarders. B. Kids seek an excitement in skate. C. The goodness of skateboarding. D. The skateboarding is a serious sport. E. How to prevent overweight by skateboarding. 23. The writers purpose in writing the text is . A. to invite the local teenagers to skate in a park built specifically for skaters. B. to convince the readers that they need a safe place for skaters to skate. C. to provoke youngsters into the local government policy. D. to promote the writers business of skateboarding class. E. to inform parents about the goodness of skateboarding. 24. What must we do to let the skaters play? A. Join with them anywhere. B. Give them space in the park. C. Let them play in the main roads. D. Let them play in the local street. E. Build a skate park in the suburbs. 25. They need to practice their 180s, 360s and Ollies free from restrictions. (Paragraph 5) The synonym of the underlined word is . A. Approval B. Allowance C. Improvement D. Prevention E. Limitation It was once believed that being overweight was healthy, but nowadays few people subscribe to this viewpoint. While many people are fighting the battle to reduce weight, studies are being conducted concerning the appetite and how it is controlled by both emotional and biochemical factors. Some of the conclusions of these studies may give insights into how to deal with weight problems. For example, when several hundred people were asked about their eating habits in times of stress, 44 percent said they reacted to

stressful situations by eating. Further investigations with both humans and animals indicated that it is not food which relieves tension but rather the act of chewing. A test in which subjects were blindfolded showed that obese people have a keener sense of taste and crave more flavorful food than nonobese people. When deprived of the variety and intensity of tastes, obese people are not satisfied and consequently eat more to fulfill this need. Blood samples taken from people after they were shown a picture of food revealed that overweight people reacted with an increase in blood insulin, a chemical associated with appetite. This did not happen to average-weight people. In another experiment, results showed that certain people have a specific, biologically induced hunger for carbohydrates. Eating carbohydrates raises the level of serotonin, a neurotransmitter in the brain. Enough serotonin produces a sense of satiation, and hunger for carbohydrates subsides. Exercise has been recommended as an important part of a weight-loss program. However, it has been found that mild exercise, such as using the stairs instead of the elevator, is better in the long run than taking on a strenuous program, such as jogging, which many people find difficult to continue over long periods of time and which also increases appetite. 26. According to the passage, insulin: a. Increase appetite b. Decrease appetite c. Can be used to lessen the appetite d. Causes a chemical reaction when food is seen e. Levels dont change in average-weight people who see food 27. Which of the following exercises might be best for an overweight person to engage in daily? a. Long swim b. An evening walk c. Aerobic exercise d. 10-mile bicyle rides e. 10-minutes jumping jacks 28. What can be said about serotonin? a. It tells the brain when a person is full b. It is a chemical which increases the appetite c. It neurotransmits carbohydrates to the brain d. Only certain people produce it in their brains e. A chemical which can produces fat 29. The word crave could best be replaced by ... a. Devour b. Season c. Absorb d. Desire e. Care 30. The word strenuous is closest in meaning to ... a. Strengthening b. Complicated c. Defeating d. Vigorous e. Effortless
