A. to organize B. organizing C. which organized D. organized Reading 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 question 31 to 40: [To understand the forces behind thunder and lightning]1, one must recall basic information about electricity, that things can become [ either positively or negatively charged with electricity and that two things with opposite charges will attract each other]2. As the opposite charges become stronger, the attraction becomes greater, eventually the attraction becomes strong enough to result in a discharge that makes the two things electrically neutral again. [Lightning resutls when one cloud full of moisture develops an opposite charge in relation to another cloud]5. The pressure continues to build until there is enough pressure to break down the air separating the two clouds. A discharge occurs to neutralize the opposite charges in the two clouds, and this discharge is what we see as lightning. As this discharge of lightning is occurring, the lightning follows the “path of least resistance”; it therefore does not follow a straight line but zigzags in order to find the easiest route. Thunder occurs during the discharge of electricity. As the discharge occurs, the air in the vicinity expands and contracts rapidly; the rushing air currents collide, causing the sound that we hear as thunder. Light travels much faster than sound (the speed of light is 186,284 miles per second, while the speed of sound is 1,100 feet per second), so we see the light first and then hear the sound later. Of course, the farther away the thunder and lightning are, the greater the lapsed time between the two. In fact, the amount of lapsed time between the two can be used to [determine how far away the thunder and lightning are]1. Question 31: What does the passage mainly discuss? A.

While many people are fighting the battle to reduce weight, studies are being conducted concerning the appetite and how it is controlled by both emotional and biochemical factors. Some of the conclusions of these studies may give insight into how to deal with weight problems. For example, [when several hundred people were asked about their eating habits in times of stress, 44 percent said they reacted to stressful situations by eating]12. Further investigations with both humans and animals indicated that it is not food which relieves tension but rather the act of chewing. A test in which subjects were blindfolded showed that obese people have a keener sense of taste and crave more flavorful food than non-obese people. [When deprived of the variety and intensity of tastes, obese people are not satisfied and consequently eat more to fulfil this need]14. Blood samples taken from people after they were shown a picture of food revealed that overweight people reacted with an increase in blood insulin, a chemical associated with appetite. [This did not happen with average-weight people]15. In another experiment, results showed that certain people have a specific, biologically induced hunger for carbohydrates. Eating carbohydrates raises the level of serotonin, a neurotransmitter in the brain. Enough serotonin produces a sense of satiation, and hunger for carbohydrates subsides. Exercise has been recommended as an important part of a weight-loss program. However, it has been found that [mild exercise, such as using stairs instead of the elevator]19, is better in the long run than taking on a strenuous program, such as jogging, which many people find difficult to continue over periods of time and which also increase appetite.
