Acupuncture is a Chinese method of (26) illnesses by inserting needles into certain points of the body. The idea is that this restores the natural balance of energy, which is disturbed when a person is ill. The origins of this therapy have been traced (27) over five thousand year, but it only began to be accepted in the West' the 1970s. In 1971, James Reston, a well-known journalist from the New York Times, was visiting China when he developed appendicitis. He was operated on in a hospital in Peking, where the doctors used acupuncture to (28) his pain. Reston was surprised at how effective it was, and wrote about it in an article for the newspaper. Soon afterwards, Chairman Mao Tse-tung invited a group of (29) Western doctors over to China to witness for themselves that acupuncture worked. They were accompanied by television crews, and soon viewers in the West were watching operations being carried out on patients with acupuncture needle sticking out of them.

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 34 to 40 Crows are probably the most frequently met and easily identifiable members of the native fauna of the United States. The great number of tales, legends, and myths about these bird indicates that people have been exceptionally interested in them for a long time. On the other hand, when it comes to substantive-particularly behavioral - information, crows are less well known than many comparably common species and, for that matter, now a few uncommon ones: the endangered California condor, to cite one obvious example. There are practical reasons for this. Crows are notoriously poor and aggravating subjects for field research Keen observers and quick learners, they are astute about the intentions of other creatures, including researchers, and adept at avoiding them. Because they are so numerous, active, and monochromatic, it is difficult to distinguish one crow from another. Bands, radio transmitters, or other identifying devices can be attached to the, but this of course requires catching live crows, who are among the wariest and most untrappable of birds. Technical difficulties aside, crow research is daunting because the ways of these birds are so complex and various. As preeminent generalists, members of this species ingeniously exploit a great range of habitats and resources, and they can quickly adjust to changes in their circumstances. Being so educable, individual birds have markedly different interests and inclinations, strategies and scams. For example, one pet crow learned how to let a dog out of its kennel by pulling the pin on the door. When the dog escaped, the bird went into the kennel and ate its food. Question 34: What does the passage mainly discuss? A. The ways in which crows differ from other common birds B. The myths and legends about crows C.

5. 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 41 to 45 Another critical factor that plays a part in susceptibility to colds is age. A study done by the University of Michigan School of Public Health revealed particulars that seem to hold true for the general population. Infants are the most cold-ridden group, averaging more than six colds in their first year. Boys have more colds than girls up to age three. After the age of three, girls are more susceptible than boys, and teenage girls average three colds a year to boys' two. The general incidence of colds continues to decline into maturity Elderly people who are in good health have as few as one or two colds annually. One exception is found among people in their twenties, especially women who show a rise in cold infections, because people in this age group are most likely to have young children. Adults who delay having children until their thirties and forties experience the same sudden increase in cold infections. The study also found that economics plays an important role. As income increases, the frequency at which colds are reported in the family decreases. Families with the lowest income suffer about a third more colds than families at the highest end. Lower income in general forces people to live in more cramped quarters than those typically occupied by wealthier people, and crowding increases the opportunities for cold virus to travel from person to person. Low income may also adversely influence diet. The degree to Which poor nutrition affects susceptibility to colds is not yet clearly established, but an inadequate diet is suspected of lowering resistance in general.
