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 23 to 27.
Hernando Guanlao loves books, but unlike most bookworms, Hernando has so many that they spill out into
the street, where his bookcases and shelves line the road. The reason is that Hernando Guanlao has turned his
home in Manila, the Philippines, into his very own public library. In this library for the poor, the only rule is
that there are no rules!
The library is open all day and all night, seven days a week. Any passer-by who wants a book just walks up
and takes whatever he or she wants. It's all free, they don't need a library card and there are no late fees if
they don't return the books within two weeks. In fact, there is no pressure to return them at all! You might
think that there would be fewer and fewer books each day, but, amazingly, after starting with around a
hundred books, Hernando now has a collection of between two and three thousand - his readers are actually
adding their own books to his library!
Hernando launched his Reading Club 2000 over a decade ago to honour his parents, who had recently died.

His idea was to encourage reading and create a love of learning. So one day, he placed a small collection of
battered books at the side of the road. Passers-by didn't know what to make of it in the beginning. What were
all these books doing there? Were they for sale? They soon got the idea, though, and the library now has a
steady stream of booklovers, watched over by a proud Hernando.
Hernando is so dedicated to the idea of books for everyone that you can order one and when he gets it, he'll
even bring it to your house on his 'book bike'. In the future, he's going to take his collection out on the book
bike to the poor villages that either haven't heard of him or can't reach him. In a country where there aren't
that many libraries, and you might have to pay to borrow a book, Hernando is a true hero. As Hernando
himself says, "You are wasting these books if you put them in a cupboard or a box. A book should be used
and reused. It has a life, it has a message."
(Adapted from On Screen by Virginia Evans and Jenny Dooley)

D. he was forced to throw his books away

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 28 to 34.
Few works of art have made such an impact on the world as Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa. Yet why has
this painting made such an impression on us? To many people's minds it's because of the lasting power of her
unique and enigmatic smile. Smiling is a universal expression that captures our imagination and lifts our
spirits; be it the Mona Lisa's mischievous smirk or a loved one's beaming grin, reaching from ear to ear.
However, what's in a smile and why do we do it? Scientists are now examining this simple act to reveal its
mysterious secrets and powers.
Smiles seem to be as natural to us as breathing. Smiling has been recorded in babies in the womb, as a reflex,
just as making the motions of breathing and blinking are. And even blind babies smile when they feel
happiness, for example at the sound of their mother's voice. In this context it's not surprising that smiles have
a long history in our evolution. In fact, the roots of smiling go all the way back to our primate heritage.
Primates often show their teeth to communicate fear or readiness to attack, but our ability to smile most
likely developed from how primates also draw back their lips to show closed teeth as a sign of nonaggression.

And yet, smiles are not quite so simple. First of all, there are two kinds of smile involving totally distinct
muscle groups. The polite 'social smile' involves muscles around the mouth and the cheeks. Some people
think it is not as sincere as the smile that also engages the muscles around the eye area. This kind of smile,
the Duchenne smile-named after the scientist who first recognized the difference between the two typesdisplays real emotional warmth.
While smiles might express various degrees of sincerity, it seems their beneficial effects remain the same
regardless. This is because the act of smiling has proven therapeutic benefits and may even be essential for
good health. It increases the level of reward neurotransmitters such as dopamine, releases mood- enhancing
endorphins, and lowers blood pressure. Charles Darwin, the scientist who developed the theory of evolution,
noticed this and postulated that smiling is more than a mere response to positive.
emotions, but is pleasure-inducing in and of itself. These transformative effects are also infectious and can be
passed on to others. The people around you will return the smile you give them and then their bodies begin
their own cycle of feel-good changes, too.


So, the next time you're unhappy or worried and someone tells you to 'grin and bear it, maybe you should
follow their advice, and you might really feel your troubles fly away.
28. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A. A smile - what does it denote?

B. A smile - The influences on our breath.

C. How is the act of smiling studied?

D. What are lasting impacts of a smile?

29. What is the evidence supporting the claim that smiling is a basic human instinct?
A. Smiling found in fetuses has been documented.
B. It is a ubiquitous subject that interests artists.
C. It engages the muscles around the eye area.
D. It is nowhere to be found rather than many animal species.

30. The word therapeutic in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to______.
A. terrific

B. detrimental

C. dreadful

D. curative

C. babies

D. motions

31. The word they in paragraph 2 refers to______.
A. primates

B. smiles

32. Which of the following is true, according to the passage?
A. A smile is simply a reaction to experiencing positive emotions.
B. The deduction in the level of dopamine is induced by a smile.
C. The degree of genuineness conveyed through a smile varies.
D. A smile results in the number of endorphins in the body decrease.
33. The word reflex in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to_______.
A. natural movement

B. slow process

B. It states that smiling is a feature of evolution traced back to our primate ancestry.
C. It states that the action only strengthen all people performing it.

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 23 to 27.
Hernando Guanlao loves books, but unlike most bookworms, Hernando has so many that they spill out into
the street, where his bookcases and shelves line the road. The reason is that Hernando Guanlao has turned his
home in Manila, the Philippines, into his very own public library. In this library for the poor, the only rule is
that there are no rules!
The library is open all day and all night, seven days a week. Any passer-by who wants a book just walks up
and takes whatever he or she wants. It's all free, they don't need a library card and there are no late fees if
they don't return the books within two weeks. In fact, there is no pressure to return them at all! You might
think that there would be fewer and fewer books each day, but, amazingly, after starting with around a
hundred books, Hernando now has a collection of between two and three thousand - his readers are actually
adding their own books to his library!
Hernando launched his Reading Club 2000 over a decade ago to honour his parents, who had recently died.
His idea was to encourage reading and create a love of learning. So one day, he placed a small collection of
battered books at the side of the road. Passers-by didn't know what to make of it in the beginning. What were

all these books doing there? Were they for sale? They soon got the idea, though, and the library now has a
steady stream of booklovers, watched over by a proud Hernando.
Hernando is so dedicated to the idea of books for everyone that you can order one and when he gets it, he'll
even bring it to your house on his 'book bike'. In the future, he's going to take his collection out on the book
bike to the poor villages that either haven't heard of him or can't reach him. In a country where there aren't
that many libraries, and you might have to pay to borrow a book, Hernando is a true hero. As Hernando
himself says, "You are wasting these books if you put them in a cupboard or a box. A book should be used
and reused. It has a life, it has a message."

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 28 to 34.
Few works of art have made such an impact on the world as Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa. Yet why has
this painting made such an impression on us? To many people's minds it's because of the lasting power of her
unique and enigmatic smile. Smiling is a universal expression that captures our imagination and lifts our
spirits; be it the Mona Lisa's mischievous smirk or a loved one's beaming grin, reaching from ear to ear.
However, what's in a smile and why do we do it? Scientists are now examining this simple act to reveal its
mysterious secrets and powers.
Smiles seem to be as natural to us as breathing. Smiling has been recorded in babies in the womb, as a reflex,
just as making the motions of breathing and blinking are. And even blind babies smile when they feel
happiness, for example at the sound of their mother's voice. In this context it's not surprising that smiles have
a long history in our evolution. In fact, the roots of smiling go all the way back to our primate heritage.
Primates often show their teeth to communicate fear or readiness to attack, but our ability to smile most
likely developed from how primates also draw back their lips to show closed teeth as a sign of nonaggression.
And yet, smiles are not quite so simple. First of all, there are two kinds of smile involving totally distinct
muscle groups. The polite 'social smile' involves muscles around the mouth and the cheeks. Some people
think it is not as sincere as the smile that also engages the muscles around the eye area. This kind of smile,
the Duchenne smile-named after the scientist who first recognized the difference between the two typesdisplays real emotional warmth.
While smiles might express various degrees of sincerity, it seems their beneficial effects remain the same
regardless. This is because the act of smiling has proven therapeutic benefits and may even be essential for
good health. It increases the level of reward neurotransmitters such as dopamine, releases mood- enhancing
endorphins, and lowers blood pressure. Charles Darwin, the scientist who developed the theory of evolution,
noticed this and postulated that smiling is more than a mere response to positive.
emotions, but is pleasure-inducing in and of itself. These transformative effects are also infectious and can be
passed on to others. The people around you will return the smile you give them and then their bodies begin
their own cycle of feel-good changes, too.
So, the next time you're unhappy or worried and someone tells you to 'grin and bear it, maybe you should

follow their advice, and you might really feel your troubles fly away.
