Read the following passage about endangered languages and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions from 23 to 30.

There are a lot of myths about the human brain. We are going to tell you a little about these myths, and we are also going to give you the truth.

One of the biggest myth is that we only use 10 percent of our brains. The next part of that myth is that if we can learn to use the rest of our brains, then we will be much smarter. People say this all the time, but it is absolutely not true. The truth is that although we don't know everything about the human brain, we know that each part of it has an important function. Modern scientists call the "10 percent myth" ridiculous.

The other most popular myth is about being "right brained" or "left brained". According to this myth, people who use the right side of their brains tend to be more artistic and creative, people who use the left side of their brains tend to be better at maths and science. This myth is as popular as the 10 percent myth, and it is also wrong. In 2013, a study at an American university examined the right brain and left brain myth. According to the study, we use both sides of our brains equally.

It is true that we use different parts of our brains for different things: We use our left side for language more, and our right side when we need to pay attention. But there is no evidence that creative people use the right side more, or that scientific people use the left side more.

We have talked about myths, so let's look at a few interesting facts about the brain. First of all, the brain feels no pain. Second, about 75 percent of the brain is made of water. It is also the fattest organ in your body. Another interesting fact about the brain is that around the time you turn 18 years old, it stops growing.

Question 23. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?

A. The brain consumes a significant amount of the body's total energy.

B. The left side of the brain is associated with language functions.

C. The human brain stops growing around the age of 18.

D. Scientists agree that each part of the brain has an important function.

        A. The truth        B. The myth        C. The person        D. The brain

Question 26. The word "ridiculous" in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to_________.

        A. deceitful        B. cheating        C. unreasonable        D. imaginary

Question 27. Which of the following best paraphrases the sentence in paragraph 2?

"The truth is that although we don't know everything about the human brain. we know that each part of it has an important function?"

A. Scientists have fully discovered the brain's functions and can explain them accurately.

B. We use only certain parts of the brain, and others remain inactive.

C. Despite ongoing research, certain brain functions are less significant than others.

D. While some mysteries remain, it is clear that all areas of the brain serve essential purposes.

Question 28. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?

A. The brain is mostly composed of fat and contains little water.

B. Each part of the brain has a specific and important function.

C. Creative people mainly use the right side of their brains.

D. Scientists agree that we only use a small portion of our brains.

Question 29. In which paragraph does the passage introduce the purpose of discussing myths about the human brain and revealing the truth?

        A. Paragraph 3        B. Paragraph 2        C. Paragraph 1        D. Paragraph 5

Question 30. In which paragraph does the passage mention that we use different parts of our brains for different tasks, such as language and attention?

        A. Paragraph 5        B. Paragraph 2        C. Paragraph 3        D. Paragraph 4

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 from 31 to 40.

(I) The authors noted that while other forms of pollution are decreasing, noise pollution has been increasing. (II) This conclusion is reinforced by the fact that there has been an increase in the number of people who have been complaining about excessive noise in the WHO region. (III) Populations that are exposed to high noise levels can be afflicted by other symptoms such as: stress reactions, sleep-stage changes, and clinical symptoms like hypertension and cardiovascular diseases. (IV) All these impacts can contribute to premature mortality.

It is important to note that these adverse health problems impact all age groups including children and adolescents. In fact, it has been reported that children who live and or study in an area afflicted with noise pollution tend to suffer from stress, impairments in memory and attention as well as difficulty reading. "In Western Europe, the guidelines say, traffic noise results in an annual loss of at least one million healthy years". Traffic noise is currently ranked second among environmental threats to public health.

The danger of noise pollution is more present to us when we are asleep. Because the human ear is so sensitive, it never rests, it is always working, picking up and transmitting sounds for our brains to interpret. This always on working process is where the danger lies, though you may be sleeping, sounds are still being picked up and processed.

The most common side effects of this phenomenon are sleep disturbance and tiredness, impaired memory, judgment, and psychomotor skills. The other more serious outcomes of this can be the triggering of the body's acute stress response, which raises blood pressure and heart rate as the body and brain go into a state of hyperarousal. According to the European Environment Agency, at least 10,000 cases of premature deaths from noise exposure occur each year, although incomplete data mean this number is significantly underestimated.

Question 31. Where in paragraph 1 does the following sentence best fit?

"Noise pollution is increasingly being recognized as a critical issue for public health."

        A. (III)        B.(II)        C.(IV)        D. (I)

Question 32. The word "afflicted" in paragraph 2 is OPPOSITE in meaning to__________.

        A. suffering        B. burdened        C. relieved        D. affected

Question 33. Which of the following best paraphrases the underlined sentence in paragraph 2?

A. Public health is most affected by traffic noise, which ranks second among all environmental issues.

B. Traffic noise is considered one of the top environmental factors affecting human health.

C. Environmental threats to health are dominated by traffic noise, which is listed as number one.

D. Among all environmental risks, traffic noise is regarded as the second most dangerous for public health.

Question 34. Which of the following best summarizes paragraph 3?

A. Noise can disturb sleep and cause stress, which may lead to serious health problems.

B. The human ear remains active even during sleep, leading to significant health risks due to our brains' activities.

C. The European Environment Agency estimates that noise pollution causes a lot of premature deaths each year.

D. Noise pollution poses a greater threat to public health during the day compared to nighttime.

Question 35. The word "it" in paragraph 3 refers to_________.

        A. the danger        B. human ear        C. sound        D. side effect

Question 36. The word "hyperarousal" in paragraph 4 could best be replaced by___________.
