Many people continue to skip breakfast despite its being the most important meal of the day. Busy people often
rush out the doors in the mornings without giving their body the fuel they need to handle a long day at work. They end up
feeling tired by the afternoon and resort to the office snack machines or biscuits tin. Loysa Hourigan, from Nutrition
Australia, said that catching up food at lunchtime did not provide the body with enough sustenance to keep it going for
the rest of the day. “Even if you have had lunch, you won't have as much food as you need. Your brain get depleted of
glucose and you feel tired," Ms Hourigan said.

provide protein, which help people to be alert. Rolled oats are also an excellent endurance food.

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 36 to 40.
Science is a very important indicator of the future. Every scientific advance or discovery gives us a clue about
what the future will hold for society. Perhaps the most amazing scientific discovery in recent times was the birth of Dolly
the sheep. Dolly was the first successful cloned animal- that is, she was the first animal ever to be created from a single
adult cell. She is an exact copy of her biological mother. Since Dolly's birth, there has been debate about what this means
for society in the future - because if we can clone sheep, we can surely clone humans. Some think that there are already
signs that such things will eventually happen. For example, couples in the United States who can't or don't want to have
children by natural methods can now select the human egg and sperm they want through catalogues, audiotapes or even

computer order systems. One journalist has commented, "Ordering a frozen embryo is a little more emotionally
complicated than ordering a home-delivered pizza - but not so different logistically." (Hewitt 1998)
