‘Last year, when Eukhtuul was walking home from school, she was attacked by boys with sticks and her eyes were
badly damaged. Dr. Duffey, an Orbis doctor, said that without an operation she would never see again. I thought
about all the things I do that she couldn’t, things like reading schoolbooks, watching television, seeing friends, and I realised how lucky I am.’
‘The Orbis team agreed to operate on Eukhtuul and I was allowed to watch, together with some Mongolian
medical students. I prayed the operation would be successful. The next day I waited nervously with Eukhtuul
while Dr. Duffey removed her bandages. “In six months your sight will be back to normal,” he said. Eukhtuul
smiled, her mother cried, and I had to wipe away some tears, too!’

operation. We should all think more about how much our sight means to us.’

THE VANISHING INVENTION
In 1998, a Valencian professor made an amazing claim. Professor Antonio Cervilla discovered how to use water as
a substitute for petrol. The scientist said that you could drive from Bilbao to Valencia on just half a litre of water.
His invention uses a molybdenum compound to break down water into hydrogen and oxygen. Unlike other
methods, no electricity is required and the reaction happens at atmospheric temperature. This impressive
technology is based on the way plant enzymes break down water. The use of molybdenum is the perfect choice
because, although rare, it is cheap and found all around the planet.
Since the claims were made, nothing more has been heard about this fabulous technology. There is no explanation
for the disappearance anywhere on the internet, apart from a list of similar inventions which have also vanished.
An inventor from the Philipines called Daniel Dingel developed a water-fuelled car but was arrested and sentenced
to 20 years in prison. If this technology were to become widely available, it would prove disastrous for petrol
station owners and would also save the planet from the impending environmental catastrophes being caused by pollution.

7. Read the passage, and choose the correct answer A, B, C or D for each question. THE STORY OF COCA-COLA
Coca-Cola was invented in 1886 by John Pemberton, a druggist living in Atlanta. The original drink was a type of
syrup, using coca leaves, sugar and cola nuts, plus a few other secret ingredients! Pemberton sold it as a medicine;
and with its coca (the source of cocaine), it must have made people feel good!
Nevertheless, Pemberton’s medicine was not very successful, so he sold his secret formula to another druggist,
Asa Candler. Candler was interested, because he had another idea that Pemberton’s “medicine” would be much
better if it was mixed with soda. Candler was thus the man who really invented the drink Coca-Cola. Candler also
advertised his new drink, and soon people were going to drugstores just to get a drink of Coca-Cola. Trang 4
Before long, other people became interested in the product, including a couple of businessmen who wanted to sell
it in bottles. Candler sold them a licence to bottle the drink, and very quickly the men became millionaires. The
famous bottle, with its very distinctive shape, was designed in 1916. And the famous Coca-Cola logo is the most
famous logo in the world. Unlike any other famous commercial logos, it has not changed in 100 years!
During the First World War, American soldiers in Europe began asking for Coca-Cola, so the Coca-Cola company
began to export to Europe. It was so popular with soldiers that they then had to start bottling the drink in Europe.
Today, Coca-Cola is made in countries all over the world, including Russia and China; it is the world’s most popular drink.
As for the famous formula, it is probably the world’s most valuable secret! The exact ingredients for making Coca-
Cola are only known to a handful of people. And as for the “coca” that was in the original drink, that was
eliminated in 1903. It was a drug, and too dangerous. Today’s Coca-Cola contains caffeine, but not cocaine!

8. Read the passage, and choose the correct answer A, B, C or D for each question.
Music has been integral to our lives. Not all types of music have favourable effects, for example, if it is too
loud or noisy or it distracts us from our work. However, in general, surprising benefits for health of music
exposure have been discovered.
Overall, music has beneficial effects in pain relief. Listening to music can reduce sensation caused by
chronic pain by up to 21% and depression by 25%. Music therapy, therefore, has been applied together with
medication to reduce pain during childbirth and surgeries.
Research also shows that music also modifies heartbeat and blood pressure within a positive range. The
heart beats faster as we listen to lively music and when the music slows, so do our heart and breath rate. In another
study, old people suffering from high blood pressure reported significantly lower blood pressure as a result of
listening to calm music after 30 minutes.
Apart from all those benefits, other effects are related to better sleep, strengthened memory and better
general health. Most researchers conclude that our preference of music doesn't play the main role, but the tempo
and the theme of the music we are exposed to are the most important factors that affect the remedy results.

A. How music affects our brain B. Music can reduce pain

3. How does slow music modify heartbeat?
A. It makes the heart beat faster. B. It makes heartbeat slow.
C. It makes our heart beat slowly and then fast.
