Read the passage and circle the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the best answer to each of the
following questions.
Apart from regular exercise, the food we put in our bodies can have both instant and life-long
effects on our health, and too much of everything is also bad. Leftover food may create stress
because it can hurt our stomach badly. Too much salt, sugar, fat and pepper also makes us less
calm. Overconsumption of some kinds of foods, such as onion, garlic, tea, coffee, tobacco,
soda, alcohol, chocolate, sour apples, pickles and refined sugars encourages aggression, and
consumers tend to have more worries than happiness. More importantly, the relationship
between food and stress is about what or how much we eat and how the food is eaten. For
example, stress is probably created when we eat food in a great hurry or when we are angry.
The way the food is served is also a matter of importance. Not only does the presentation of
the dish play a role but the love and affection with which the food is provided are also
essential. It is considered a bad habit to give too many negative comments on the food that we
are eating. It is better not to eat the dish we do not like than look for something wrong in it.
Bear in mind that we should maintain regular eating habits. Workaholics who do not arrange a
time to eat food at proper meal time may suffer from serious stomachache. One must try to
enjoy their food, so frequently eating business lunches or dinners is not a really good idea.
Every bite of food should be enjoyed with relaxation. Food and discussions should not be
mixed. There are accepted ways to charge our daily food. Prayer could be the best method for
energizing the food, and it usually has a useful effect.

Read and choose the best answer to complete the passage
It is natural for young people to be critical of their parents at times and to blame
them for most of the misunderstandings between them. They have always complained,
more or less justly, that their parents are old-fashioned, possessive and dominant; that
they do not trust their children to deal with obstacles; that they talk too much about
certain problems and that they have no sense of humor, at least in parent-child
relationships. I think it is true that parents often underestimate their teenage children and
also forget how they themselves felt when young.

Young people often irritate their parents with their choices in clothes and
hairstyles, in entertainers and music. This is not their motive. They feel cut off from the
adult world into which they have not yet been accepted. So they create a culture and
society of their own. Then, if it turns out that their music or entertainers or vocabulary or

11
clothes or hairstyles irritate their parents, this gives them additional enjoyment. They feel
they are superior, at least in a small way, and that they are leaders in style and taste.

Sometimes you are resistant and proud because you do not want your parents to
approve of what you do. If they did approve, it looks as if you are betraying your own age
group. But in that case, you are assuming that you are the underdog: you can you can
keep your honor. This is a passive way of looking at things. It is natural enough after long
years of childhood, when you were completely under your parents' control. But it ignores
the fact that you are now beginning to be responsible for yourself.

If you plan to control your life, co-operation can be part of that plan. You can
charm others, especially parents, into doing things the ways you want. You can impress
others with your sense of responsibility and initiative, so that they will give you the
authority to do what you want to do.

A. The teenagers' criticism of their parents

B. Misunderstandings between teenagers and their parents

C. The dominance of the parents over their children

D. The teenagers' ability to deal with difficulty

A. want to show their existence by creating a culture of their own

A. have already been accepted into the adult world

B. are not likely to win over the adults

C. have a desire to be independent

D. feel that they are superior in a small way to the adults

 A NEW CAPITAL

When the new state of Pakistan was founded in 1947, Karachi acted as the capital
city. However, it was difficult for Karachi to remain in this role due to a number of
drawbacks such as the climate and the state of the existing buildings. Rather than try to
overcome these drawbacks, the government decided to create a new capital city. In 1959,
a commission was established to investigate the possible locations of this new city. The
advisor appointed to the commission was Dr Doxiadis, a famous architect and city
planner.

Dr Doxiadis and his colleagues looked at the various locations. They then
produced a report suggesting two possible areas: one just outside Karachi and the other to
the north of Rawalpindi. Both locations had advantages as well as disadvantages. Which
site was it to be?

The choice between these two options was made after consideration of many factors,
such as transportation, the availabilities of water, economic factors, and factors of
national interest. Finally, the site north of Rawalpindi was chosen and on the 24th
February 1960, the new capital was given the name of ‘Islamabad’ and a master plan was
drawn up. This master plan divided the area into three different sections: Islamabad itself,
neighboring Rawalpindi, and the national park.

Each of these three sections had a different role. Islamabad would act as the
national's capital and would serve its administrative and cultural needs, whereas
Rawalpindi would remain the regional centre with industry and commerce. The third
piece of the plan, the national park, was planned to provide space for education,
recreation, and agriculture.

Today Islamabad is a thriving city of about 1 million people. It offers a healthy a

pollution-free atmosphere, plenty of water, and many green spaces. Guide tree-lined
streets, elegant public buildings, and well-organised bazaars and shopping centres. The
new capital is a superb example of good urban planning.

Read and choose the best answers to complete the passage
Thailand's most celebrated festival is the Songkran Festival. It starts on April 13
and lasts between three to ten days, depending on where you are in Thailand. The word
Songkran is from Sanskrit, meaning the beginning of a new solar year.
The festival begins on April 13 and everyone is awakened at dawn to the sound of
firecrackers used to drive away evil spirits. This is the day when everything is
scrupulously cleaned from the self, clothes, Buddha images, to houses, shops and streets
in preparation for the New Year.
April 14 is the day between the old year and the new year. It is customary not to
quarrel or use harsh words on one another. The morning is spent shopping and preparing
food for the following day, while the afternoon is reserved for visiting a temple in the
neighborhood. It is imperative that they carry a fistful of sand with them to compensate
for the dirt that they have carried away from the temple during their visits throughout the
year. The sand is then sculpted into stupa-shaped piles.
April 15 marks the New Year's Day called Wan Phya Wan. It is a day of great
importance. It is customary to visit the temple early in the morning to take food to the
monks, as a form of merit making and later in the afternoon to return to place small
banners, known as Thung, on the top of the stupas built the day before.
After that, visits to family and relatives are carried out. The gifts during the visit
include areca nuts, clove leaves, turmeric water and acacia oil. Family members ask for
forgiveness from their respected elders for any wrong doings they may have committed
throughout the year and to receive their blessings for the year to come. At the end of this
ceremony, a little water is sprinkled onto the hands and heads of the old people as a
blessing and then quite a lot is thrown at the rest of the family in anticipation of the water
wars that are to follow.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, c, or D to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions.
The costs and benefits of global warming will vary greatly from area to area. For
moderate climate change, the balance can be difficult to assess. But the larger the change
in climate, the more negative the consequences will become. Global warming will
probably make life harder, not easier, for most people. This is mainly because we have
already built enormous infrastructure based on the climate we now have.
People in some temperate zones may benefit from milder winters, more abundant rainfall,
and expanding crop production zones. But people in other areas will suffer from
increased heat waves, Coastal erosion, rising sea level, more erratic rainfall, and
droughts.
The crops, natural vegetation, and domesticated and wild animals (including seafood)
that sustain people in a given area may be unable to adapt to local or regional changes in
climate. The ranges of diseases and insect pests that are limited by temperature may
expand, if other environmental conditions are also favorable.
In its summary report on the impacts of climate change, the Intergovernmental Panel on
Climate Change stated, ‘Taken as a whole, the range of published evidence indicates that
the net damage costs of climate change are likely to be significant and to increase over
time.”
