House Husbands Health Risk
Most people assume that life in the rat race is bad for your health. But reversing the traditional
gender roles, being a house husband is a stressful business, according to the latest research by
American scientists. By giving up their jobs in order to become house husbands, men increase their risk
of heart attack or coronary disease by as much as 82% according to research based on 10 year study of
2.500 people in Boston, USA.
According to Dr. Elaine Eaker, the key to the problem is that some men became stressed about
performing a role not traditionally assigns to them by society. Men who stay at home tend not to have
the same levels of support from friends and family women do the same.
Jack O'Sullivan, of the Father's direct group, was quoted as saying: "Society expects the main
career should be a woman and society is structured around that. Day care is called mother and toddler
groups and some men feel awkward about belonging to those groups.
Profesor Gary Cooper, a psychologist at the University of Manchester, said many men tend to
underestimate the task of caring for a family. He said 'Most men think being a house husband involves
putting on a bit of washing, taking the kids to school and then putting their feet up with a cup of coffee.
They are crazy. Most men are not used to performing a variety of activities simultaneously - the kind of
multi-tasking which is second nature to most women.
It is estimated that men have taken over the main homemaker's role in one in seven homes, as
increasing numbers of women become the main breadwinner. The study also found that women in
high-powered jobs were more likely to develop heart disease than those in more junior positions.
22. The main idea of the first paragraph is
A. People living in the rat-race tends to have heart attacks.
B. The research on house-husband health involved 2500 people.
C. Scientists did some research on the people's health living in Boston.
D. House husbands have understandable reasons why they gave up their jobs.
E. The result of the research showed that house husbands tend to have heart attacks.
23. The purpose of the text is
A. to describe what a house husband is.
B. to persuade readers not to become a house husband.
C. to report the result of a research carried on by DrElainEaker.
D. to explain to readers why house husbands are subjects to heart attack.
E. to inform readers that 82% of house husbands suffer from heart attack
This text is for questions from 24 to 26.
The sense of taste is one of a person's five senses. We taste with the help of taste-buds in the
tongue.
There are four main kinds of taste: sweet, sour, salty, and bitter. All other tastes are just
mixtures of two or more of these main types.
The surface of the tongue has more than fifteen thousand taste-buds (or cells). These are
connected to the brain by special nerves which send the so-called 'tastes messages.
6

When the tongue comes into contact with food of any kind, the taste-buds will pick up the taste.
The nerves then send a message to the brain. This will make us aware of the taste. All this happens in
just a few seconds.
There are four kinds of taste-buds, each of which is sensitive to only a particular taste. These
four groups are located in different parts of the tongue.
The taste-buds for salty and sweet tastes are found round the tip of the tongue and along its
sides. Sour tastes can be picked up only at the sides of the tongue. The taste-buds of the bitter taste are
found at the innermost edge of the tongue. There are taste-buds at the centre of the tongue.
The senses of smell and sight can affect taste. The good smell of food increases its taste.
Similarly, attractive colors can make food appear tastier and more delicious. If food does not smell
good or is dull-colored, it will look tasty and may not taste good at all.
Very hot or cold sensations can make the taste-buds insensitive. Food that is too hot or too cold,
when placed in the mouth, will have no tastes at all.
24. We can taste any kind of food because of
A. the good smell of food
B. the four main kinds of taste
C. the taste-buds in the tongue
D. the senses of smell and sight
E. the taste-buds round the tip of the tongue

A. the food will lose its taste
B. the food won't smell good
C. the taste of the food increases
D. the taste-buds will be sensitive
E. the taste-buds will be very responsive
26. The senses of smell and sight

B. affect the taste of the food

The following text is for questions 29 to 33.

It was the dawn of science and technology. Anything seemed possible even the creation of life
itself. Victor Frankenstein becomes obsessed with this idea and works relentlessly to prove his theories;
but the glory he imagined becomes a living nightmare not only for him, but for his friends and family
too.
Mary Shelleys gothic horror story- Frankenstein-was first published in 1818 and has been the
inspiration behind numerous stage productions and films many of which strayed a long way away
from her original masterpiece. Classical Comics presenting a full-color graphic novel remains true to
this classic tale, bringing the original story to life which has never been created before.
This graphic novel is available in two versions: Original Text and Quick Text editions. The
Original Text stays faithful to Shelleys original text, while the Quick Text brings the story up to date
by presenting the text into a more simplified style so that the tale is accessible to all readers.
The Quick Text edition will allow you to soak up a general feeling for the characters and
locations, while the Original Text version will help you easily slip into the language in which the novel
was written.
Even if youre not studying the original, this graphic novel is worth buying. Its a great story,
and should be one that everyone has the chance to read. Now, thanks to this release, even those who
dont particularly like to read too much are given the chance to find this tale and hopefully it may
encourage them to search out the original book too.
As with previous Classical Comics, the presentation is first class. The best grade glossy paper
really helps to set this graphic novel head and shoulders above the usual comic book releases on the
market. Not only that, you also get a pretty comprehensive biography of Shelley; Mary Shelleys
Family Tree; a feature that explains what life was like in the year of the books release; and a brieflook
on how Frankenstein has been adapted to many different formats over the years.
