Health Tips for Travelers
Travel is fun and exciting, but not if you get sick. You may think, "Not me. I won't get sick on
my vacation!" However, for many people, that is what happens. You do not want to spend your


vacation sick in bed, of course. If you have heart trouble, you do not want to make it worse. What
can you do to stay in good health? These are the three things to remember when you travel: relax,
sleep, and eat well.
A vacation is supposed to be a time for relaxing, but tourists often forget that. There are so
many places to visit: museums, churches, parks, and shops. You want to see as much as possible, of
course, and so you spend most of your days on your feet. This is tiring. Your feet may start to hurt.
You may get a headache or a backache. If this is the way you feel, you should take a rest. Do not ask
your body to do too much. A tired body means a weak body, and a weak body gets sick easily. So sit
down for a few hours in a nice spot. In good weather, look for a quiet park bench or an outdoor
cafe. You can learn a lot by watching people while you rest.
Sleep is also important. If you want to stay healthy, you need to get enough sleep. That is

not always easy when you are traveling. You may have a noisy hotel room or an uncomfortable
bed. If you do, don't be afraid to change rooms or even hotels. If you are young, you may have
other reasons for not sleeping. In many cities the nightlife is exciting. You may want to stay out late
at right. Then you should plan to sleep during the day. That extra rest can make a big difference.
Finally, whatever age you are, you must eat well. That means eating the right kinds of foods.
Your body needs fresh fruits and vegetables and some meat, milk, or fish. You also need to be
careful about eating new foods. Try small amounts first to make sure they are okay for you. And of
course, stay away from foods that are very rich.
Remember this: If you want to enjoy your vacation, take care of yourself. Give your body
some rest. Get enough sleep and eat good, healthy food.

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 sentences
The principle of use and disuse states that those parts of organisms' bodies that are used
grown larger. Those parts that are not tend to wither away. It is an observed fact that when you
exercise particular muscles, they grow. Those that are never used. By examining a man's body, we
can tell which muscles he uses and which he doesn't. We may even be able to guess his profession
or his reaction. Enthusiasts of the "body- building" cult make use of the principle of use and disuse
to "build" their bodies, almost like a piece of sculpture, into whatever unnatural shape is
demanded by fashion in this peculiar minority culture. Muscles are not the only parts of the body
that respond to use in this kind of way. Walk barefoot and you acquire harder skin on your soles. It
is easy to tell a farmer from a bank teller by looking at their hands alone. The farmer's hands are
horny, hardened by long exposure to rough work. The teller's hands are relatively soft.
The principle of use and disuse enables animals to become better at the job of surviving in
their world, progressively better during their lifetime as a result of living in that world. Humans,
through direct exposure to sunlight, or lack of it, develop a skin color which equips them better to
survive in the particular local conditions.
Too much sunlight is dangerous. Enthusiastic sunbathers with very fair skins are

susceptible to skin cancer. Too little sunlight, on the other hand, leads to vitamin-D deficiency and
rickets. The brown pigment melanin which is synthesized under the influence of sunlight, makes a
screen to protect the underlying tissues from the harmful effects of further sunlight. If a
suntanned person moves to a less sunny climate, the melanin disappears, and the body is able to
benefit from what little sun there is. This can be represented as an instance of the principle of use
and disuse: skin goes brown when it is "used", and fades to white when it is not.
Question 44. What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. How the principles of use and disuse change people's concepts of themselves.
B. The way in which people change themselves to conform to fashion.
C. The changes that occur according to the principle of use and disuse.
D. The effects of the sun on the principle of use and disuse.
Question 45. The word "Those" in line 3 refers to_________.
A. organisms
B. bodies
C. parts
D. muscles
Question 46. According to the passage, men who body build_________.
A. appear like sculptures
B. change their appearance
C. belong to strange cults
D. are very fashionable
Question 47. The word "horny" in line 9 is closest in meaning to_________.
A. firm
B. strong
C. tough
D. dense


Question 48. It can be inferred from the passage that the principle of use and disuse enables
organisms to_________.

A. change their existence
B. automatically benefit
C. survive in any condition
D. improve their lifetime
Question 49. The author suggests that melanin_________.
A. is necessary for the production of vitamin-D B. is beneficial in sunless climates
C. helps protect fair-skinned people
D. is a synthetic product
Question 50. The word "susceptible" could be best replaced by_________.
A. condemned
B. vulnerable
C. allergic
D. suggestible

rickets. The brown pigment melanin which is synthesized under the influence of sunlight, makes a
screen to protect the underlying tissues from the harmful effects of further sunlight. If a
suntanned person moves to a less sunny climate, the melanin disappears, and the body is able to
benefit from what little sun there is. This can be represented as an instance of the principle of use
and disuse: skin goes brown when it is "used", and fades to white when it is not.
