II. Read the passage and answer the questions below.
What is Diet? In the simplest terms, your diet is what you eat. Any diet consists of two
main aspects: what you eat and how much of it? To maintain a healthy weight, medical and
nutritional authorities have prepared a nutrition food chart that gives the list of foods
that are essential for the body as well as the amount of nutrients that we need to
consume in order to remain healthy. When you are trying to lose weight or maintain a

healthy weight, it is important that you give due consideration to both the quality and the
quantity of your diet. The importance of food and nutrition cannot be stressed enough.


Our bodies are made up of various cells and organs. All of these require nutrition in order
to function normally. The importance of nutrition can be assessed by the simple fact that
if we do not get proper nutrition, the body begins to wear out and shows signs of neglect.
The importance of food in health simply cannot be stressed enough. There is an age old
adage that says ‘you are what you eat’. This is indeed true. Your body constitution
changes when you change your diet. Food not only impacts our physical appearance and
our physical health but also the way we think and behave.

In the 16th century, Ferdinand Magellan led the first expedition to sail around the world.
As a young Portuguese noble, he served the king of Portugal. After he was dismissed
from service by the king of Portugal, he offered to serve the future Emperor Charles V
of Spain. On September 20, 1519, Magellan set sail from Spain with five ships. More than
a year later, one of these ships was exploring the topography of South America in search
of a water route across the continent. This ship sank, but the remaining four ships
searched along the southern peninsula of South America. Finally, they found the passage
they sought near 50 degrees S latitude. Magellan named this passage the Strait of All
Saints, but today it is known as the Strait of Magellan.Later, Magellan became involved in
an insular conflict in the Philippines and was killed in a tribal battle. Only one ship and 17

comprehension, they only represent 1% of readers. Average readers are the majority and

Many great inventions are initially greeted with disbelief. The invention of the airplane
was no exception. Although many people who heard about the first powered flight on
December 17, 1903 were excited and impressed, others reacted with peals of laughter.
The idea of flying an aircraft was repulsive to some people. Such people called Wilbur and
Orville Wright, the inventors of the first flying machine, impulsive fools. Negative
reactions; however, did not stop the Wrights. In 1900 and 1901, the Wrights tested
numerous gliders and developed control techniques. In 1903 the Wrights built their first
airplane, which cost less than $1,000. When they started the engine on December 17, the
airplane pulsated wildly before taking off. The plane managed to stay aloft for 12
seconds, however, and it flew 120 feet. By 1905, the Wrights were successful. They
created the first airplane that could turn, circle, and remain airborne for half an hour at
a time. This was the first plane with the full-size machine that could fly under its own
power. As the contributors of one of the most outstanding engineering achievements in
history, the Wright brothers are accurately called the fathers of aviation.

Solar collectors absorb heat from the sun’s rays. They can be used to effectively heat
and cool buildings. The most common type of collector for space heating is a flat plate
designed to absorb both radiation falling directly on it, as well as radiation scattered by
the atmosphere. Collectors are usually panels of aluminum, copper, or steel. The collector
is covered with glass or plastic. This layer allows short-wave radiation or light to enter
the collector. As the radiation passes through the glass or plastic, it is transformed from
short-wave radiation to long-wave radiation – or heat. A transfer agent (air or water) is
circulated through the collector and becomes heated. As it leaves the collector and

travels through the heating ducts of a house, it warms the air inside the house or brings
hot water to sinks, tubs, and appliances. With solar collectors, storage is a problem:
great amounts of heat must be stored for nighttime use and for use during cloudy days.

There are many reasons to use alternative energy sources. One reason is to reduce
pollutants and greenhouse gases. Alternative or renewable energy sources help to reduce
the amount of toxins that are a result of traditional energy use. These alternative
energy sources help protect against the harmful by-products of energy use and help to
preserve many of the natural resources that we currently use as energy sources. There
are many alternative energy sources: wind power, solar power, geothermal power, and
hydroelectric power are some examples. Wind power is the ability to capture the wind in
a way to propel the blades of wind turbines. When the blades rotate, this movement is
switched into electrical current with the help of an electrical generator. In older
windmills, wind energy turned mechanical machinery to do the physical work like crushing
grain to make bread or pumping water to get water. Wind towers are built on wind farms,
and usually there are several towers built together. Wind towers are built on windfarms,
and usually there are several towers


built together. In2005, the worldwide use of wind-powered generators wasless than 1%
of all of the electricity use combined.

II. Read the passage and answer the questions below.
Quality of life, as defined here, is the sum total of your health, happiness, vitality,
leisure, and income. This formulaic approach helps to paint a better picture of the
overall quality that people are subjected to. Yet, many people simply define their
quality of life by the amount of money they have. Now, money does make the world go
round. People with access to money and resources can most certainly improve many
areas of their lives. But studies proved that those same people aren’t statistically that
much happier. An increase in income only equates to a temporary improvement of
happiness. Eventually, happiness levels baseline again. Think about it in your past.
Maybe you received promotion you were hoping for or you landed a dream job. For a
short period, you were happy. But it was fleeting. Happiness doesn’t last forever when
it comes to monetary gains, and it’s not the full picture. While money does give you
access to ‘things,’ there’s a reason why the saying ‘The best things in life are free,’
exists.

II. Read the passage and answer the questions below.
In 1971, 2 behavioral psychologists, Donald T. Campbell and Phillip Brickman, coined the
term, ‘Hedonic Treadmill,’ also known as ‘Hedonic Adaptation.’ The term makes
reference to the natural tendencies for humans to revert back to a set point of
happiness after major changes – either positive or negative – to their lives. The
Hedonic Set Point, then, is a baseline of happiness that we all have, which we tend to
revert to, even after things like a traumatic event or a major windfall of cash through
say a lottery winning. In a study published by Campbell and Brickman, they showed that
both lottery winners and paraplegics all returned to a baseline level of happiness some
time after the event. They further argue that we all have a baseline Hedonic Set
Point, which is determined through hereditary means and experiential knowledge. And,
although the baseline level of happiness might be different for everyone, the concept


is very important to understanding the root of happiness and improving the quality of
your life.
