READING

Reading passage 1: Choose the best answer

Exercise your brain. Exercise is essential for good health. It keeps the body young and
helps the brain to grow. However, physical exercise is no longer enough. Scientists have
discovered new ways of increasing our brain power. Take their advice – you’ll think faster
and you’ll be more intelligent.
Watch less TV. When you watch television, your brain usually switches off. If you must do
it, try to watch interesting, informative programmes to keep your brain active.
Don’t miss breakfast. It’s the most important meal of the day. Children who have fizzy
drinks and sugary cereals before they go to school get lower marks on tests of memory and
attention. Eat baked beans for the best results!
Increase your vocabulary. This will help to make a good impression on those around
you. Try to learn five new words every day. Write the words on cards and look at them
three or four times during the day. By the end of the year, you will know over 1,500 more
words.

Reading passage 2: Choose the best answer

Tea had a reputation for being both safe and almost always beneficial. However, scientists
are now suggesting that tea may not be as safe as we had previously believed. Tea contains
caffeine, and caffeine has been linked to sleeplessness and to the unpleasant jumpy feeling
some people get when stressed. More seriously, there is a link between miscarriages, and
pregnant women are advised to reduce their intake of tea until after their baby is born. Due
to its critical side-effects, some people who like tea choose to be safer and drink a beverage
from which the caffeine has been removed, decaffeinated tea, but many claim that it simply
doesn't taste right. The reasonable thing to do is probably moderation; continue to enjoy a
cup of tea, but don't have too many!

4. As it is pointed out in the passage, tea used to be considered to be ……………. A.

having no damaging effect on people's health.
B. more dangerous than alcohol.
C. causing jumpy feeling if drunk excessively.
