V. READING COMPREHENSION 1 : Read the passage and choose the correct answers.
Why is it that flying to New York from London will leave you feeling less tired than flying to London from
New York? The answer may be a clear case of biology not being able to keep up with technology. Deep inside
the brain there is a “clock” that governs every aspect of the body’s functioning: sleep and wake cycles, levels
of alertness, performance, mood, hormone levels, digestion, body temperature and so on. It regulates all of
these functions on a 24-hour basis and is called the circadian clock (from the Latin, circa “about” + dies “day”).
This body clock programmes us to be sleepy twice a day, between 3-5 a.m and again between 3-5 p.m.
Afternoon tea and siesta times are all cultural responses to our natural biological sleepiness in the afternoon.
One of the major causes of the travelers’ malady known as jet lag is the non-alignment of a person’s internal
body clock with clocks in the external world. Crossing different time zones confuses the circadian clock,
which then has to adjust to the new time and patterns of light and activity. To make matters more complex, not
all internal body functions adjust at the same rate. So your sleep/wake may adjust to a new time zone at one
rate, while your temperature adjusts at a different pace. Your digestion may be on a different schedule altogether.
Though we live in a 24-hour day, the natural tendency of the body clock is to extend our day beyond 24
hours. It is contrary to our biological programming to shrink our day. That is why travelling in a westward
direction is more body-clock friendly than flying east. NASA studies of long haul pilots showed that
westward travel was associated with significantly better sleep quantity and quality than eastward flights.
When flying west, you are “extending” your day, thus travelling in the natural direction of your internal clock.
Flying eastward will involve “shrinking” or reducing your day and is in direct opposition to your internal clock’s natural tendency.
One of the more common complaints of travelers is that their sleep becomes disrupted. There are many
reasons for this: Changing time zones and schedules, changing light and activity levels, trying to sleep when
your body clock is programmed to be awake, disruption of the internal circadian clock and working longer
hours. Sleep loss, jet lag and fatigue can seriously affect our ability to function well. Judgment and
decision-making can be reduced by 50%, attention by 75 percent, memory by 20 percent and communication
by 30 percent. It is often suggested that you adjust your watch as soon as you board a plane, supposedly to try
to help you adjust to your destination’s schedule as soon as you arrive. But it can take the body clock several
days to several weeks to fully adjust to a new time zone.

READING COMPREHENSION 2 : Read the passage and choose the correct answers.
The ability to conduct electricity is one of the key properties of a metal. Other solid material such as
silicon can conduct electricity but only effectively at certain temperatures. Also, some substances such as salt
(sodium chloride) can conduct when molten or when dissolved in water. The ability of metals to conduct
electricity is due to how their atoms bond together. In order to bond together the metal atoms lose at least one
of their outermost electrons. This leaves the metal atoms with a positive charge and they are now strictly
ions. The lost electrons are free to move in what are known as a sea of electrons. Since the electrons are
negatively charged they attract the ions and this is what keeps the structure together.
An electric current is a flow of charge and since the electrons in the sea of electrons are free to move
they can be made to flow in one direction when a source of electrical energy such as a battery is connected to
the metal. Hence we have an electric current flowing through the wire, and this is what makes metals such
good conductors of electricity. The only other common solid conducting material that pencil users are likely to
encounter is graphite (what the ‘lead’ of a pencil is made from). Graphite is a form of carbon and again the
carbon atoms bond in such a way that there is a sea of electrons that can be made to flow as an electric
current. Likewise, if we have an ionic substance like salt we can make the electrically charged ions flow to
create a current but only when those ions are free to move, either when the substance is a liquid or dissolved
in water. In its solid state an ionic substance like salt cannot conduct electricity as its charged ions cannot flow. Freshwater Aquarium Fish

Electrical insulators are substances that cannot conduct electricity well either, because they contain no
charged particles or any charged particles they might contain do not flow easily. Water itself is a poor
conductor or electricity as it does not contain a significant amount of fully charged particles (the ends of a
water molecule are partly charged but overall the molecule is neutral). However, most water we encounter
does contain dissolved charged particles, so it will be more conductive than pure water. Many of the problems
that occur when touching electrical devices with wet hands result from the ever-present salt that is left on our
skin through perspiration and it dissolves in the water to make it more conductive.
Question 1: Electrical conductivity is .
A. one of the most important properties of metals
B. one of the key properties of most solid materials
C. impossible for any substance when it is dissolved in water
D. completely impossible for silicon
Question 2: According to the passage, a metal can conduct electricity due to .
A. the absence of free electrons
B. its atoms with a positive charge
C. the way its atoms bond together
D. the loss of one electron in the core of its atoms
Question 3: The word “outermost” in paragraph 1 mostly means . A. the lightest
B. nearest to the inside
C. furthest from the inside D. the heaviest
Question 4: The atoms of a metal can bond together because .
A. the lost electrons cannot move freely in the sea of electrons
C. they lose all of electrons
B. electrons can flow in a single direction
D. negatively charged electrons attract positive ions
Question 5: Slat in its solid state is not able to conduct electricity because .
A. it has free electrons
B. its charged ions can flow easily
C. it cannot create any charge ions
D. it charged ions are not free to move
Question 6: The word “they” in paragraph 3 refers to . A. charged ions B. electric currents C. charged particles D. electrical insulator
Question 7: Water is a poor conductor because it contains .
A. no positive or negative electric charge
B. only a small amount of fully charged particles
C. only a positive electric charge
D. only a negative electric charge
Question 8: We can have problems when touching electrical devices with wet hands because .
A. the eater itself is a good conductor of electricity
B. the water dissolves the salt on our skin and becomes more conductive
C. the water contains too many neutral molecules
D. the water containing no charged particles makes it more conductive
Question 9: Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
