IX. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions.
Did you know that on average we forget about 80% of the medical information a doctor
might give us? This fascinating information came to light as a result of a study carried out by
Utrecht University. What is even more interesting is that almost half of what we think we
remember is wrong.
Why do you think this is? Well, it’s not as complicated as you may think. You see, going
to the doctor fills most people with anxiety and when we are really nervous and stressed we
are more likely to focus on the diagnosis rather than the treatment. Therefore, we know what
is wrong with as but have no idea what to do about it.

Here are some good tips to keep in mind when seeing a doctor. Always write down any
important information. What would be even better is, if your doctor agreed, to record your
consultation. This way, you can replay the advice at home, where you are more likely to
absorb it. If you believe the situation is serious or you’re really worried, seek the help of a

family member. Just ask them to accompany you to listen in. This way you can be absolutely
sure about what the doctor has told you and avoid falling into the same trap that most people
do.

In the past, getting recipes and cooking tips was a complicated process. A person had to
go to the store and buy a cook book, or get recipes from friends. Fortunately, the Internet has
changed all that. Now, if you want to find a recipe for lasagne or Cobb salad, you just search
online. It couldn’t be simpler.
Cooking blogs are a great source of information because they are free and there are so
many of them. They are also nice because they give all different kinds of ideas. The problems
with blogs is that because we don’t know who is writing them, we need to use with caution.
When you are looking at a new blog, you don’t know if the writer knows what he or she is
talking about.

We’d like to introduce two popular cooking blogs. The first is called Smitten Kitchen.
This website is run by a family living in New York City. It focuses on food that doesn’t
require many ingredients. If you want to make food that is simple but wonderful, then this is
the site for you. It offers hundreds and hundreds of recipes, divided into categories. You will
be amazed at how many there are.
Wednesday Chef is another great cooking blog. It is run by a writer who lives in Berlin.
This blog also offers many recipes, along with recommendations for great restaurants in
Berlin, and advice for people who want to start their own blogs. Wednesday Chef has great
pictures of its food, as well as interesting pictures of Berlin. The blog got its name because in
the past, newspapers published their food articles on Wednesdays.
There are a lot of cooking blogs on the Internet, and most of them are pretty good. Go
online and check some of them out. You might be surprised at how much they can help you
improve your cooking.
28. How did Wednesday Chef get its name?
A. The writer posts recipes on Wednesdays.
B. The writer only cooks on Wednesdays.
C. The writer was born on a Wednesday.

answer to each of the questions.
SIMPLE WAYS TO LOSE WEIGHT ON A BUDGET
Plan to Cook at Home
Instead of buying costly prepared meals, which often tend to be high in calories, cook
your own at home. Plan out our meals with high-fiber foods like beans and whole grains
which will keep you full and are a cheaper, healthier alternative to rich proteins and more
processed grains.
Eat Less
Eating less leads to weight loss, and cost savings, especially if you cut down on the right
things. Start by cutting your portions of spicy meat and poultry. Or swap out meat and
poultry for cheaper vegetarian proteins like beans, lentils, tofu and eggs for some of your
meals.
Double Up on Vegetables
Vegetables are great for weight loss, as well as all-around health. They are low in calories
and high in water and fiber – two things that keep you feeling full. Save cash by shopping for
those that are in season. Frozen vegetables can be a great bargain, with just as much nutrition
as fresh, since they are picked and frozen at their peak ripeness.
Get Creative with Your Exercise Options
You don’t need to shell out a monthly gym fee to get moving. Instead, find fun activities
you enjoy for free. If you’re just getting started with a regular exercise routine, try your
beginning with daily walks: start slowly and build up time and speed.

Make Friends with Someone
One of the most powerful resources you have for helping you lose weight is your social
network. Find a friend who is also trying to lose weight and agree to help each other stay
motivated. One study found that when friends participated in a group weight-loss programme
together, they lost more weight than people who did the same programme on their own.
28. The advantage of cooking at home is __________.
A. to have food that is high in calories
B. to enjoy a variety of rich proteins and more processed grains

TAKING A WORKING HOLIDAY
One of the more difficult things young people face when they want to travel is the lack of
funds. During summer holidays and possibly at weekends, they are able to take on part-time
jobs, but the money they make is just a drop in the bucket of what they need to travel far
away. For example, traveling to Australia from Vietnam can be quite expensive just for an
airline ticket, and to a lot of students wanting to travel, it can seem out of reach.
For students wanting to travel to Australia and New Zealand in particular, however, they
are in luck. Although many countries offer working holidays, these two countries are wellknown for offering them. When a young person signs up to get a working holiday visa, he
only pays for the round-trip airfare to get to either place and only needs to carry some extra
cash for incidentals. Once he is there, a job awaits where he can earn some money.
Many of the jobs require little or no experience, such as picking fruit or working in a
busy pub out in the countryside. Some of the jobs require more experience that most people
are unlikely to have, such as being a certified welder to work for eight weeks on a farm. That
shouldn’t discourage you, though, because there is always something to be found if you
search hard enough.
There are many websites that advertise working holidays in Australia and New Zealand.
If you have the courage and are looking for a way to make a little money and see the world, it
might be just the ticket you were looking for.
