lobes and a central bell-shaped crown, or corona, that are frilled at its edges. This "trumpet" shape
contains the stamens and is the flower's most conspicuous feature. The daffodil's popularity has resulted
in the production of many varieties differing from the yellow parent form mainly in color the trumpet and

I was on vacation with my sister in Paris. It was our last day and we went to the Louvre Museum and
stayed there till it closed. Then we went for dinner at a restaurant near the museum.
When I reached my bag to get my wallet to pay the check, I discovered that it wasn't in my bag.
Inside there was make up and stuff, but nothing to identify the owner. My sister had some cash so we
were able to pay for dinner. The problem was that not only were my wallet and credit card in my bag but
both our passports and our airline tickets were in there. Oh, and my camera, too.
We made our way back to the hotel feeling really depressed. We were due to leave for the airport at
7 o'clock the next morning, but without passports and tickets there was no way we'd allowed to get on
the plane.
At midnight the phone in my room rang. When I answered it, a ....oman's voice said, "I've got your
bag. You must have mine. "She had found the camera, looked at the photos for clues, and spotted our

Everybody yawns - from unborn babies to the oldest great-grandparent. Animals do it, too. But why,
exactly, do people and animals yawn? No one knows for sure. But there are many theories (ideas) abouf
why people yawn.
One is that when we are bored or tired, we just don't breathe as deeply as we usually do. As this
theory goes,'our bodies take in less oxygen because our breathing has slowed. Therefore, yawning
helps us bring more oxygen into the blood and move more carbon dioxide out of the blood. Yawning,
then, would be an involuntary reflex to help us control our oxygen and carbon dioxide levels.
Other people believe that yawning is a protective reflex to redistribute the oil-like substance called
surfactant (say: sur-fak-tint) that helps keep lungs lubricated inside and keeps them from collapsing.
So, if we didn't yawn, according to this theory, taking a deep breath would become harder and harder­
and that wou Id not be good!
But there is one idea about yawning that everyone knows to be true. If you yawn in class, you'll
probably notice a few other people will start yawning, too. Even thinking about yawning can get you
yawning. How many times have you yawned while reading this article? We hope not manyl

43. When we are yawning we ....
A. take in less oxygen D. will feel bored and tired
B. inhale carbon dioxide E. can't breathe deeply as usual

What Are the Main Benefits of Soy Milk?

Soy milk is a good substitute for cow's milk on many levels. It acts as a good source of protein while
still supplying a fair supply of calcium. According to every aspect of the medical field, both calcium and
protein are needed by our bodies for a healthy and productive lifestyle.
One of the primary benefits of drinking soy milk is that it is lactose-free. Lactose is the natural sugar
that is present in cow's milk. Many children and adults cannot digest lactose resulting in disagreeable
consequences including diarrhea, vomiting, gas and cramps.
Additionally, cow's milk contains a protein called casein. This particular protein is known to cause
problems for some people such as the worsening of allergy symptoms, an increase in mucous and
problems with the immune system.
This is why a recommendation is often made to decrease milk consumption in children who experience
frequent ear infections colds, or chronic bronchitis. Additionally, children with asthma or sinus conditions
are also told not to drink milk because of the problems associated with this protein.
A recent finding according to the National Institute of Health and Nutrition located in Japan, states
that soy protein can aid in the lowering of cholesterol in the blood. http://www.lifescript.com/food/articles

45. The text is intended to ...

A. explain how soy milk is lactose-free
B. convince that soy mHk is needed for health
C. present the positives and negatives of soy milk
D. recommend readers to decrease soy milk consumption
E. inform that soy milk may cause diseases such as asthma

Energy drinks have quickly become the fastest growing sector in the beverage industry. Recently
however, research into the effects of consuming energy drinks has raised questions about their health
effects.
Supporters of caffeine will argue that there's lots of research supporting the benefits of caffeine
intake, such as improved short term memory, improved concentration, reduced fatigue, and improved
reaction times. Some studies have also suggested that caffeine can lower the risks of some diseases
like Alzheimer's disease and liver cancer.
And most of the health benefits you get from energy drinks are due more to the natural herbal
ingredients, such as ginseng that have an energizing effect. Other ingredients might include kava Gingko
Siloba, and guarana. •
However energy drinks can be bad for you. While caffeine is safe in moderation, too much of it can
be addictive. Regular caffeine intake can cause high blood pressure, anxiety, insomnia, increased heart
rate, and reduced bone density. As caffeine is a diuretic, when you take it during or before exercise it can
lead to dehydration.
Energy drinks also have a lot of sugar. Like caffeine, food and drink containing sugar is ok in
moderation, but too much (more than two cans per day) can cause cavities in your teeth, and the
instapility they cause in your blood sugar levels will make the weight loss process very difficult. In
adeJition, energy drinks are very dangerous for children.
Not all energy drinks have the same ingredients, so it is very important to read the nutrition label.
While there has been research on the effects of energy drinks, their long term effects on organs like the
liver, the effect they have on cardiovascular disease, and diabetes are unknown. As the potential harmful
effects of energy drinks far outweigh their benefits, it's therefore best to limit your intake to only the
occasional energy drink.

48. What is the main idea of the text above?

A. Energy drinks contains natural herbal ingredients
B. Energy drinks are beneficial but harmful as well
C. Energy drinks' benefits C(re greater than its risk
D. Energy drinks are dangerous for children
E. Energy drinks helps the weight loss
49. '.... As the potential harmful effects of energy drinks far outweigh their benefits ... ' (Paragraph 6)
The underlined word can be replaced by ....
A. are less than D. are useful than
B. are better than E. are greater than
C. are worse than
50. ~ What does the writer suggest the drinkers do?
A. They must consume energy drinks occasionally
B. They should stop drinking energy drinks soon
C. They'd better reduce their hobby of drinking it
D. They should have a research of its effects
E. They can drink it any time they want
