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 following questions.

Inside the tree's protective outer bark is the circulatory system, consisting of two cellular pipelines
that transport water, mineral nutrients, and other organic substances to all living tissues of the tree.
One pipeline, called the xylem or sapwood transports water and nutrients up from the roots to the
leaves. The other, the phloem or inner bark carries the downward flow of foodstuffs from the leaves
to the branches, trunk, and roots. Between these two pipelines is the vascular cambium, a

single-cell layer too thin to be seen by the naked eye. This is the tree's major growth organ, responsible
for the outward widening of the trunk, branches, twigs, and roots. During each growing season, the
vascular cambium produces new phloem cells on its outer surface and new xylem cells on its inner
surface.

Xylem cells in the roots draw water molecules into the tree, taking in hydrogen and oxygen and also
carrying chemical nutrients from the soil. The xylem pipeline transports this Iife-sustaining mixture
upward as xylem sap, all the way from the roots to the leaves. Xylem sap flows upward at rates of
15 meters per hour or faster. Xylem veins branch throughout each leaf, bringing xylem sap to
thirsty cells. Leaves depend on this delivery system for their water supply because trees lose a
tremendous amount of water through transpiration, evaporation of water from air spaces in the
leaves. Unless the transpired water is replaced by water transported up from the roots, the leaves
will wilt and eventually die.

How a tree manages to lift several liters of water so high into the air against the pull of gravity is an
amazing feat of hydraulics. Water moves through the tree because it is driven by negative
pressure-tension in the leaves due to the physical properties of water. Transpiration, the evaporation of
water from leaves, creates the tension that drives long-distance transport up through the xylem
pipeline. Transpiration provides the pull, and the cohesion of water due to hydrogen bonding
transmits the pull along the entire length of xylem. Within the xylem cell, water molecules adhere
to each other and are pulled upward through the trunk, into the branches and toward the cells and 
air spaces of the leaves.

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 following questions.

Did you know that we forget about 80 percent of the medical information a doctor might give us?
This fascinating piece of 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? Going to the doctor can make most people nervous and when we
are stressed, we are more inclined to focus on the diagnosis rather than on the treatment.
Therefore, we know what is wrong with us but have no idea what to do about it.

Here are some good tips to have in mind when seeing a doctor. Always bring along a notepad to jot
down important pieces of information such as how to take prescribed medication or how to
prepare for any medical tests you might need. What would be even better is if your doctor agrees,
record your consultation. In this way, you can replay his advice at home, where you are more likely
to be able to absorb it. Should you believe the situation is serious or you are really worried, get a
family member or close friend to accompany you when you listen.

The Partnership for Clear Communication recommends you ask these questions every time you talk

to a health care professional: “What is my main problem?”, “What do I need to do?”, and “Why is it
important for me to do this?”. It is also very important to get any written information that is
available on your condition.

Question 37. According to the passage, the information doctors give us __________________. 
 A. is mostly incorrect B. is not sufficient

C. is mostly forgotten D. should be studied carefully
Question 38. The word “it” in paragraph 2 refers to ___________________.

A. your situation B. your doctor’s advice

C. the record D. your consultation

Question 39. The author says that when people consult a doctor, ____________________. 
 A. they believe their situation is serious

B. they are only interested in knowing what they should do
 C. they only want to know what is wrong with them

D. they usually have a family member or close friend with them
Question 40. Why is it good to have a notepad with you?

A. to keep track of how much money you pay the doctor
 B. to write down any important details

C. to let the doctor write down his suggestions

D. to show your note to a health care professional

Question 41. The author suggests recording the consultation in order to_________________.
 A. use against the doctor is necessary

B. listen to it when you have calmed down

word or phrase that best fits each of the numbered blanks.

One of the most common forms of nonverbal communication is body language. Body language can
include facial expressions, gestures, and ______(46)______ eye contact. The human body is capable of a
nearly limitless variety of expressions, postures, and gestures, all of ______(47)______ can carry
meaning that can be used for the purposes of communication. Facial expressions are perhaps the
most commonly recognized form of body language. Some studies even suggest that facial
expressions showing feelings like anger, fear, surprise, happiness, and sadness could be universal,
meaning that they are understood by people all over the world. For example, in some cases, even
though two people may speak entirely different languages and come from widely ______(48)______
cultures, they can still share basic emotions by using facial expressions.

It is important to recognize, ______(49)______, that not all body language is universal and that the
attitudes and ______(50)______ of a culture play a large role in how some kinds of body language are
interpreted. For instance, putting one’s hands in one's pockets might indicate feelings of relaxation

to members of one culture, but it could signal disrespect to members of another. Thus, the meaning
of body language is often dependent on culture or personality. Despite the difficulty of interpreting
what particular types of body language mean, studies of human behavior indicate that it forms a
significant part of human life.
