It is a proven fact that reading can help reduce stress. Many of us take this simple act for granted,
because we have so much "required" reading in our daily lives-the newspaper, traffic signs, emails,
and bills. But how often do we read for pleasure?

Reading can be a wonderful (and healthy) escape from the stress of everyday life. Simply by
opening a book, you allow yourself to be invited into a literary world that distracts you from your
daily stressors. Reading can even relax your body by lowering your heart rate and easing the tension
in your muscles. A 2009 study at the University of Sussex found that reading can reduce stress by up
to 68%. It works better and faster than other relaxation methods such as listening to music or

the stressors that plague your daily life.

even a cookbook. Set aside 30 minutes to read every day in a quiet place where you won't be

best-seller. Second, pick up the book that will not upset you but help you to relax. Finally, take note

In the UK, jokes and tricks can be played up until noon on 1 April. After midday it's
considered bad luck to play a trick. Anyone who forgets this and tries a joke in the afternoon
becomes an 'April Fool' themselves.
So, what kind of jokes do people play? Well, a simple example would be telling your friend
that their shoelaces are undone. Then, when they bend down to do them up, you shout, 'April Fool!',
and they realise their shoelaces are fine. Maybe it's not your kind of humour, but watch out, there's
always someone who will find it funny! In Ireland, a popular prank is to send someone on a 'fool's
errand'. The victim is sent to deliver a letter, supposedly asking for help. When the person receives
the letter, they open it, read it and tell the poor messenger that they will have to take the letter to
another person. This continues and the victim ends up taking the message to several different people
until someone feels sorry for them and shows them what the letter says: 'Send the fool to someone
else.'
In France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Italy and French-speaking areas of Canada and
Switzerland, the 1 April tradition is known as the 'April Fish'. A common joke is to try to stick a
paper fish onto a victim's back without being noticed.
44. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. What people do on April Fool’s Day.

Congenital insensitivity to pain (CIP) is one or more rare conditions in which a person cannot
feel and has never felt physical pain. Because feeling physical pain is vital for survival, CIP is an
extremely dangerous condition. It is common for people with the condition to die in childhood due to
injuries or illnesses going unnoticed. Because children and adults with the disorder cannot feel pain,
they may not respond to problems. Thus they are at a higher risk of more severe diseases. Children
with CIP often have damage in oral cavity such as having bitten off the tip of their tongue or have
fractures to bones. They may have infections and damage when strange objects get into their eyes
and they do not know. Some CIP patients experience lifelong insensitivity to pain and do not feel
cuts and burns; they do not experience pain during childbirth. When they have to go through a
surgery, they do not experience pain and do not require special medicines for reducing pain.

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 44 to 50.

Milu was born in a small village in the north of India, and never had the chance of going to
school, because her family needed her to work. So she grew up never having learned to read or write.
She was a little sad about it, but she didn't let it upset her too much, and tried to think about other
things.
She went through life, never being able to do what she wanted, because she felt that if she
couldn't read, then she was somehow less than everybody else. This meant that she didn't make many
friends and didn't go out much. She thought people would think she was stupid, and she didn't want
them to laugh at her.
When she was fifty six, she got a job cleaning a school and when she had finished her work, she
used to sit and watch the little kids do their lessons. She didn't realise that one of the teachers
watched her while she watched the kids, and one day, as she was about to leave, the teacher asked
her to sit in the class. The kids thought it was very funny, but the teacher patiently started Milu on
her first lesson to learn to read.

Vietnam’s Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park is home to the world’s largest cave – Son
Doong Cave - a place few people visited. It was discovered by a trio of British divers while they
were making the groundbreaking dive. They discovered an underwater tunnel that connects Son
Doong with another enormous cave called Thung Cave. Son Doong first measured a total 38.5
million cubic meters. When it was officially connected with Thung Cave in August 2022, it got an
additional 1.6 million cubic meters in volume.
“It would be like someone found a lump on top of Mount Everest , making it another 1,000
meters higher,” says Howard Limbert, technical advisor of the Quang Binh-based Oxalis adventure
tour company and one of the cave experts who helped organize the cave. Son Doong is outrageous in
size. Any cave in the world will be able to fit comfortably inside Son Doong. It is said to be able to
house a 40-storey skyscraper. It consists of at least 150 individual caves, along with a thick

Before you arrive at Yellowstone Park, you need to decide where to stay. Yellowstone Park offers
many options when it comes to staying overnight. You can stay in the park proper via camping, or
stay in a modern facility such as the Old Faithful Inn. In the summer you have nine lodging facilities
to choose from with over 2,000 available rooms. You can also choose to stay in a more modest cabin
on the east side of the park that contains nearly 500 rooms. Keep in mind that if you plan to stay at
any hotel or cabin or lodge in the Yellowstone Park region you must attempt to book at least 6
months in advance. Rooms get filled up very quickly due to limited availability. Staying in
Yellowstone National Park is an authentic American Great West experience which will inspire and
engage visitors of all ages and backgrounds. With this in mind, Yellowstone lodgings do not have
televisions, wireless internet or radios in the rooms or cabins, but telephones are available in most
hotel and lodge rooms. Similarly, because temperatures rarely reach beyond the 80 degree
Fahrenheit, hotels and cabins do not have air conditioning; however, fans are provided.

the correct answer to each of the questions from 39 to 44.
When I was 16 I wrote a bucket list. This was a list of things that I wanted to do in my
lifetime. Some things were easy, some difficult and some near impossible. One of the things on my
bucket list was to do a skydive.
Two years ago I spent three months travelling round South America. We visited so many
places and it was a great experience. One of the most amazing things we saw was Iguassu Falls. The
day after we visited the waterfalls we were relaxing in a hostel in Brazil, having breakfast. My friend
then suddenly noticed an advert on the wall saying 'skydive over Iguassu Falls today!' We looked at
each other and decided it was time to do something crazy. Today would be the day that we would
jump out of a plane.
That afternoon we were picked up and taken to the Skydive Centre. We put on our harnesses
and helmets and we were given some instructions. After signing a few papers we were on our way to
the plane! There were 14 of us in a very small space as we took off into the air. This is when my
heart started to beat very fast and I felt lots of adrenaline.
Suddenly we were 10,000 feet (3,000 metres) above the ground. Luckily, I was strapped to an
instructor so I didn't have to worry about anything; I just had to enjoy myself. He asked me if I was
ready to fall from the plane ... but before I had time to answer, I felt the wind rushing against my face
as we fell to the ground at 200 km an hour! Everything below me looked so small and my breath was
literally taken away.
After about 20 seconds of falling, the parachute opened and everything slowed down. We
floated peacefully towards earth, leaving the clouds behind us.
This was definitely one of the scariest but most exhilarating experiences of my life. The
sensation of falling from so high is amazing and the adrenaline rush is crazy. I would definitely do
another skydive if I had the opportunity. I would also love to try other extreme sports such as bungee
jumping. I think that everyone should do something that scares them once in a while!

B. Iguassu Falls came first in the writer’s bucket list.
C. The plane for skydivers was rather small for them.

Further to the west, the Grand Canyon is one of the world’s most spectacular natural phenomena. It
is located in the northern part of the state of Arizona, in the United States of America. Covering one
and one quarter million acres, it stretches 277 miles east to west and extends 1 to 18 miles in width.
The depth has been measured at one mile, which is deeper than any other canyon in the world. It is
easy to see why the Grand Canyon is included as one of the Seven Wonders of the World.
Tourists travel to the canyon began as early as 1890 and increased rapidly after the hotel was built on
the South Rim seven years later. In 1919, the Grand Canyon Park was established, with its
headquarters on the South Rim of the canyon. Ninety percent of the visitors view the Grand Canyon
from the South Rim, which, unlike the North Rim, is opened year round. Visitors can drive around
the canyon to the North Rim by using a road that is 214 miles long. They can also cross the canyon
over a 21-mile trail on a two-day hike. Most visitors drive along the park roads, stopping at scenic
viewing points, and many take walks along the canyon rim or hike along one of the 36 trails.
Campers can ride mules down into the canyon, and water enthusiasts rent boats or canoes to use on
the Colorado River.
The habitat for wildlife at the Grand Canyon is spectacular. The white-tailed Kebab squirrel and pink
Grand Canyon snake are native and exclusive to this area. Some other animals of interest that roam
the canyon are elk, deer, mountain lions, and bighorn and pronghorn sheep, while the Colorado River
is home to a beaver population. Bird lovers can scan the skies for approximately 300 species of birds.
