SECTION 2: READING COMPREHENSION (30 marks)
Read each passage carefully and then answer the questions that follow.
Passage 1
The ancient Greeks were lucky, it seems. 'Their diet of olive oil, garlic, fish, vegetables, and
bread was very healthy. They ate very little meat, fat, or sugar. The experts today tell us to cat
less meat and morc vegetables, fruit, fish, pasta, brcad, and potatoes. Chicken is hcalthier
than beef because it has less fat. Garlic, the basis of French aioli, Spanish gambas al ajillo,
Italian bruehetta and Greek tzatziki, also has a good effect on the heart, as well as other
benefits, which is perhaps why the ancient Greeks ate so much of it. So, if you love your heart.
add a little more garlic to your diet!

Read each passage carefully and then answer the questions that follow.
Passage 1
Why are the French so lucky? That was the question medical researchers wanted to answer.
The French eat much more cheese than other Europeans but they have the lowest rate of heart
disease. Cheese is bad for'the heart because, like butter and cream, it has a lot of fat. The
results of research are surprising, and good news for wine lovers everywhere. The French are
also the biggest wine drinkers in Europe and drinking wine with food reduces the risk of heart
attack. And if you're not a wine lover? No problem, a daily aspirin has the same result.
I. Which country in Europe has the fewest people with heart disease?

4. Why do the French have the lowest rate of heart disease?

5. What docs the underlined part in "a daily aspirin has the same result" refer to?

Passage 2
\Vorkers in the United States usually take short vacations. VBcation time is usually given only
after a certain amount of time on the job. For example, a ne\' ' employee may only receive one
\\Tek of paid vacation per year. Many \\rorkers receive three or four weeks of paid vacation only
after they have been on the job five or ten years. Another problem is that it is often difficult to
schedule vacations to coincide with those of one's spouse.

Passage 3

How important is image? Obviously film stars have to look right for the part, but what about
other people in the public eye? For example, do politicians have to think about their
appearance, too? Albert Mehrabian studied the effect that speakers have on their audience. His
research showed that only 7% of the effect depends on what you say; 38% of the effect comes
from your voice; but a huge 55% of the effect comes from your appearance. So you don't have
to worry much about contcnt! Your voice and your appearance are much more important.

National newspapers arc papers which arc sold in all parts of Britain. Nearly aH the national

divided into two main groups: quality papers and popular papers. Quality papers like 711e
