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 39- 43
Some doctors think that you should drink a glass of water each morning. You should
drink this water first thing, before doing anything else. The temperature of the water should be
similar to body temperature; neither too hot nor too cold. If you drink a glass of water which is
too cold, it can cause an imbalance to the body and slow down the digestive process. Besides,
drinking too hot water can bring about some serious side effects such as extensive damage to the tissue and other organs.
Why should you drink this water? Water helps your body in many ways. It helps clean
out your kidneys. It prepares your stomach for digestion. Water can also help your intestines
work better. After drinking water, the intestines can more easily take out nutrients from our
food. Water also helps US go to the bathroom more easily.
Scientists suggest that people take in 1,600 milliliters of water each day. But don't drink
all of that water in one sitting. If you do, your kidneys will have to work much harder to
eliminate it. It's better to drink some in the morning and some in the afternoon. Some people
think it's better to drink between meals and not during meals. They think water dilutes the juices
produced in our stomachs. This can interfere with normal digestion. Are you drinking enough
water every day? Check the color of your urine. If it is light yellow, you are probably drinking
enough. If your urine is very dark yellow, you probably need to drink more water. A little more
water each day could make you much healthier.

the correct answer to each of the questions from 39- 43
Companies big and small are plotting their post-pandemic working futures, and it seems
likely that ever fewer of us will funny return to the office as it was before. If the Covid-19 crisis
subsides and economies can largely reopen, the experiences of so many people working from
home over the past year will surely shape what happens next. For many of us, this could emerge
as a return to the office for three days a week. Patterns will obviously vary, but a common
thread would be something like Monday, Tuesday and Thursday in the office and Wednesday and Friday at home.
This coining shift will largely be driven by employers making a calculation between two
different, equally important forces. One is what companies see as the need for in-person
creativity and connections, which will spur their desire to bring people back into offices. For
many, we are at our most creative working face to face, meeting people, talking over lunch and
coffee, or gathering in groups. At home, however, we tend to be more efficient in the daily tasks
that make up much of working life. This is the competing force that may keep many of us out of
the office, even after Covid. Working at home under the right conditions - which means in your
own room with good broadband and no children around - can be highly efficient. This greater
efficiency on current tasks also combines with other factors, like the time saved by avoiding the
daily commute, offering a compelling reason for people to stay at home. The past year of Covid
home working has perhaps opened many more people's eyes to this.
As companies come to decisions on new working arrangements, they will be essentially
making a basic trade-off: the expectation of greater creativity in new projects at the office, but
greater productivity on existing tasks at home. And, as with most trade-offs, the right answer is
not all or nothing — but something in the middle. Employees seem to prefer this working
pattern too. In a recent survey of 5,000 employees in Britain, working in the office for three
days a week was the most popular choice. Not only is this pattern more efficient for companies,
then, but it also helps to keep employees happy and motivated.
