III. Read the following passages and answer the questions below.
A. Passage One
Yoga is a peaceful approach to mind and body interaction that recently has attracted an increasing
number of fans. Perhaps the attraction lies within the yoga principle: a whole person consists equally of
body, mind, and spirit. All three principles must be fully developed before an individual can realize true
inner potential.
Yoga is beneficial for several reasons. You may want to practise yoga because it can aid in spinal
alignment as well as open up joints and the lung region. Or you may choose yoga to keep your body fit and
feel as energetic as possible. Or you might select this practice as a form of meditation, stress relief, and
relaxation.
The system of yoga is based on three main structures: exercise, breathing, and meditation. Primary
among these is mindful breathing. A calm breathing pattern is maintained during all postures, which are
done with as much care as possible in order to realize the stretching and strengthening benefits of the
various poses.
Once you have mastered the breathing technique, you will be able to increase the length of time you
hold the yoga poses. In addition, yoga fans will tell you that learning to breathe in a calm and mindful way
can help in your daily life, allowing you to stay calm and peaceful in stressful situations.

B. Passage Two
How do television and other visual media affect the lives of individuals and families all over the world?
The media can be very helpful to people who carefully choose the movies and shows that they watch. With
high quality programs in various fields of study, such as science, medicine, history, arts and so on,
television and video tapes increase the viewers’ knowledge. They can also improve thinking ability.
Moreover, television benefits elderly people who cannot go out often, as well as patients in hospital.
Additionally, it offers language learners the advantage of “real-life” audio-visual instruction and aural
comprehension practice at any time of day or night. Television and video can also provide almost everyone
with good entertainment – a pleasant way to relax and spend free time at home.
However, there are several serious disadvantages to the visual media. First of all, some people watch
the “tube” for more hours a day than they do anything else. Instead of spending time taking care of their
children, many parents use television as an “electronic babysitter”. As a result, television and video can
easily replace family communication, physical activities and other interests. Secondly, those people who,
young or old, spend more time watching television than manual work can easily suffer from short-
sightedness and obesity. The third negative feature of the media is the amount of violence and horror on
the screen that has had bad effect on children and teenagers. Finally, the most negative effects of television
and video might be addiction. People often feel a strange and powerful need to watch or play a video tape
even when they do not enjoy it or have free time for entertainment.

26. To many elderly people and patients in hospital, television ___.

A. is an ideal tool for entertainment B. is not enjoyable
C. has bad effects on their health D. must be banned
27. What is the relation of television and health?
A. Television is a good cure.
B. Television makes a patient recover quickly.
C. Watching television too much is good for our health.
D. Watching television too much easily leads to short-sightedness and obesity.
