PART 3: READING
I. Read the passage and choose the best answer to each question.
A. Weather has a powerful effect on people. It influences health, intelligence, and feelings.
In August, it is very hot and wet in the southern part of the United States. Southerners have many heart
attacks or other kinds of health problems during this month. In the Northeast and the Middle West, it is very hot at
some time and very cold at other. Weather changes in February or March.
The weather can influence intelligence, for example, in a 1928 study by scientists, the IQ score of
undergraduate college students were very high during the hurricane but after the storm, their scores were 10
percent below average. Hurricanes can increase intelligence. Very hot weather, on the other hand, can lower it.
Students in the United States often do badly in exams in the hot months of the year.
Weather also has a strong influence on people's feelings. Winter may be a bad time for thin people; they
usually feel cold during these months. They might feel depressed during cold weather. In hot summer weather, on
the other hand, fat people may feel unhappy. At about 64°F, people become stronger.
Low air pressure relaxes people. It increases forgetfulness; people leave more packets and umbrellas on buses
and in stores on low-pressure days. There is a "perfect weather" for work and health. People feel best at a
temperature of about 64°F with present humidity.

almost every country has a national football team. A football match consists of two teams with eleven players on
each side. Each team is on one half of the pitch at the start of the game. When the referee blows his whistle, the
game begins.
The object of the game is to score goals against the other team. A goal is scored by putting the ball in the

other team's net, either with your foot or head. Each football match lasts for ninety minutes. There is a half-time
break after forty-five minutes which lasts for about fifteen minutes. The team that has scored the most goals by
the end of the match is the winner. If no team has scored a goal, the match is called a draw. The goalkeeper is the
person who stands between the goalposts and tries to stop people scoring goals. He is the only player who can
touch the ball with his hands. The ball is not allowed to go outside the lines of the pitch. If it does, the game stops
for a short time.
