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.
Although noise, commonly defined as unwanted sound, is a widely recognized form of
pollution, it is very difficult to measure because the discomfort experienced by different individuals
is highly subjective and, therefore, variable. Exposure to lower levels of noise may be slightly
irritating, whereas exposure to higher levels may actually cause hearing loss. Particularly in
congested urban areas, the noise produced as a by-product of our advancing technology causes
physical and psychological harm, and detracts from the quality of life for those who are exposed to

it.
Unlike the eyes, which can be covered by the eyelids against strong light, the ear has no lid,
and is, therefore, always open and vulnerable; noise penetrates without protection. Noise causes
effects that the hearer cannot control and to which the body never becomes accustomed. Loud
noises instinctively signal danger to any organism with a hearing mechanism, including human
beings. In response, heartbeat and respiration accelerate, blood vessels constrict, the skin pales,
and muscles tense. In fact, there is a general increase in functioning brought about by the flow of
adrenaline released in respond to fear, and some of these responses persist even longer than the
noise, occasionally as long as thirty minutes after the sound has ceased.
Because noise is unavoidable in a complex, industrial society, we are constantly responding
in the same way that we would respond to danger. Recently, researchers have concluded that noise
and our response may be much more than an annoyance. It may be a serious threat to physical and
psychological health and well-being, causing damage not only to the ear and brain but also to the
heart and stomach. We have long known that hearing loss is America's number one nonfatal health
problem, but now we are learning that some of us with heart disease and ulcers may be victims of
noise as well. Fetuses exposed to noise tend to be overactive, they cry easily, and they are more
sensitive to gastrointestinal problems after birth. In addition, the psychic effect of noise is very
important. Nervousness, irritability, tension, and anxiety increase, affecting the quality of rest
during sleep, and the efficiency of activities during walking hours, as well as the way that we
interact with each other.

A. increases functions
B. responds to fear.
C. is damaged by noise.

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.
I grew up in a small farming town in the American Midwest. It was the 1970s, and my family
lived in an old three- story house on an acre or so of land on a quiet, tree lined street. It was one of those
small towns where everyone knew each other, and people seldom even bothered to lock their doors.
There was nothing special about my childhood. It was the childhood of thousands of other kids,
growing up in a small town in rural U.S. My friends and I ran barefoot all summer long. We swam in the
creeks and ponds, and play hide and seek in the woods. It was a safe, simple and peaceful way to grow
up.
In my teens, I started to realize that there was a whole world outside of our little town. The more I
learned about that world, the more I craved to leave, to go out on my own, explore, and create my own
story. After graduating from university, I did just that. I packed my bags, traveled halfway around the
world and never looked back.

I have lived in Tokyo, Japan, for over twenty years now. For the most part, it has been an amazing
adventure, and I am thrilled every day to wake up and know that I am a part of one of the world biggest
and most exciting cities.
Over the years, I have only returned to Ohio a few times for weddings, funerals, or the occasional
side trip when I happened to be in another part of the U. S for business or some other reasons. It is
always wonderful to catch up with family and old friends, to eat my mother's cooking, and fill my lung
with the fresh air of the country side.
I returned to my hometown this past summer. The trip was only ten days long, and besides
visiting family and friends, it was pretty uneventful as usual. But as I looked around the place where I
had grown up, I realized something. Even though I have traveled thousands of miles over the years, even
though I now spend my days using a language my family cannot understand, and even though I now call
a place on the other side of the planet "home" there will always be a part of that quiet, little Ohio town in
me. Somehow, just knowing that feels really great.
