It seems our personality is affected by many things, including the position we sleep in! This is
because our sleeping position partly determines how we feel when we wake up. To (clear)
Q20.1...................., people who sleep on their backs with their arms stretched out typically awake
feeling (vital) Q20.2.................... and eager for the day ahead. Conversely, those who sleep face
down with arms outstretched awake feeling fatigued, as this position seems to generate a sense of
losing control. Apparently, those who sleep lying straight tend to show signs of stubbornness,
although whether this is simply because they feel stiff in the morning is (debate) Q20.3.....................
Most people appear to sleep on their side with their knees drawn up, often described as "the foetal

I suppose it's human Q21.1.................... to try to judge someone by their appearance The downside
is that it’s then hard to alter our original judgement, which was based on that first impression they

But can this information be trusted? Does it actually reveal the truth? A talkative person may appear

partly right. Nature endows us Q22.7.................... inborn abilities and traits; nurture takes these
natural tendencies and moulds them as we learn and mature.
Read the passage and choose the best answer to each of the question.
A smart irrigation sensor that gives plants only as much to drink as they need can increase tomato
yields by more than 40 per cent. The sensor has been developed by Yehoshua Sharon and Ben-Ami
Bravdo at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem's faculty of agriculture in Rehovot, Israel. The
researchers say that their system not only increases the yield of crops, but it also dramatically
reduces water usage - by up to 60 percent for some crops.
At the heart of the system is an electronic sensor that dips onto a plant leaf and measures its
thickness to an accuracy of 1 micrometer. "A leaf’s thickness is dependent on the amount of water
in a plant," says Sharon. "A healthy leaf is 60 per cent water." A thin leaf is a sure sign that the plant
is suffering stress because it is thirsty, and stress is bad for yields.
The sensor consists of two plates, one fixed and the other spring-loaded, which together grip the
leaf. The moving plate is connected to a small computer that regulates the voltage in an electrical
circuit. As the leaf's thickness changes, the plate moves, causing a change in the voltage. This signal
is fed to a processor that adjusts the plant's water supply.
Unlike conventional irrigation systems, which water crops periodically, the Israeli system waters the
plants continuously, but adjusts the flow to the plant's needs. The idea is to give the plant the proper
amount of water at the correct time, according to what the plant requires," says Sharon.
Field studies show the system increases the yields of several crops while reducing consumption of
water. Yields of grapefruit increased by 15 per cent while needing 40 per cent less water. For
6
peppers, the yield rose by 5 per cent while water usage fell by 60 per cent. Tomato plants yielded 40
per cent more fruit while consuming 35 per cent less water.
"It is an interesting idea," says John Sadler, a soil scientist at the US government's Agricultural
Research Service in Florence, South Carolina. "Other researchers have measured stress by
measuring a plant's temperature or stem thickness. But I haven't heard of anyone doing irrigation at
such a refined level," he says. But Sadler is a little surprised by the figures for water savings. "They
would depend on the technique you're comparing these results with," he says. Sharon says the
savings are based on comparisons with the Israeli government's recommendations for irrigating
crops.
He admits that the system has to be very reliable if it is to be effective. "Because the plants are
watered continuously they are more susceptible to sudden changes in water supply," he says. "This
means our system has to operate very reliably."
The researchers have founded a company called Leafsen to sell the new irrigation system, and they
hope to start marketing it within the next few months.
Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A. The irrigation sensor can reduce the need for water in some plants.
B. A leaf's thickness is dependent on the amount of water in a plant.
C. The conventional irrigation systems water the plant continuously.
D. Leafsen is the company that sold the new irrigation system.
According to the passage, the sensor is operated by_____.
A. a computer
B. a plate
C. a spring
D. a voltage
The phrase "the heart" in the second paragraph means_____.
A. the most complex
B. the smallest part
C. the most important part
D. the most accurate part
The word "fixed" in paragraph 3 is similar in meaning to______.
A. having a leaf
7
B. stuck by glue
C. not empty
D. not moving
Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?
A. The new system helps reduce the water amount plants require.
B. The new system is welcomed by a US scientist.
C. The new system needs more time to become usable.
D. In order for the system to be effective, it has to be very reliable.
The phrase “at the correct time" in paragraph 4 mostly means_____.
A. at the time being
B. when the plants require
C. when the time is accurate
D. when the yields are increased
When a plant is thirsty, ______.
A. its yield is raised
B. it is suffering stress
C. it has healthy leaves
D. it can reduce its water usage

Which of the following is NOT mentioned as benefited from the new system?
A. tomatoes
B. peppers
C. grapefruits
D. eggplants
How is John Sadler’s attitude to the new system?
A. critical
B. doubtful
C. ironical
D. appreciative

Read the article and choose your answers from sections A-D. You may choose any of the sections
more than once.
Films that make you feel good
A. Feel-good films stretch back right into the early days of cinema. The Brits were pioneers of the
form. Producer Cecil Hepworth's Rescued By Rover (1905), a winsome yarn about a dog retrieving
a kidnapped baby, was an early example of feel-good film-making. What distinguished it was the
tempo. The film-makers used cross-cutting to crank up the tension, which is only finally released
when the baby is found. The film “marks a key stage in the medium's development from an
amusing novelty to the 'seventh art,' able to hold its own alongside literature, theatre, painting,
music and other more traditional forms," claims the British Film Institute's Screenonline website.
Film historians today continue to study Hepworth's storytelling abilities but that wasn't what
interested the 1905 audiences who flocked to see it. They went because it was a feel-good film.
B. There has long been a tendency to sneer at feel-good films. Serious, self-conscious auteurs are
often too busy trying to express their innermost feelings about art and politics to worry about
keeping audiences happy. However, as Preston Sturges famously showed in his comedy Sullivan's
Travels (1941), if you're stuck on a prison chain gang, you don’t necessarily want to watch
Battleship Potemkin. Sullivan's Travels is about John L Sullivan, a glib and successful young
Hollywood director of comedies, who yearns to be taken seriously. Sullivan dresses up as a hobo
and sets off across America to learn more about the plight of the common man. He ends up
sentenced to six years in prison. One of the prisoners' few escapes from drudgery is watching
cartoons. As he sits among his fellow cons and sees their faces convulsed with laughter at a piece of
what he regards as throwaway Disney animation, he rapidly revises his own priorities. "After I saw
a couple of pictures put out by my fellow comedy directors, which seemed to have abandoned the
fun in favour of the message, I wrote Sullivan's Travels to satisfy an urge to tell them to leave the
preaching to the preachers," Sturges recalled.
C. A few years ago there were a lot of "deep-dish" movies. We had films about guilt (Atonement),
about the all-American dream coming apart at the seams (Revolutionary Road) and even a very
long account of a very long life lived backwards (the deeply morbid The Curious Case Of Benjamin
Button). Deep-dish, feel-bad films have plenty to recommend them. If you're not a teenager and
you don't just want to see the next summer tent-pole blockbuster, you'll welcome movies that pay
attention to characterisation and dialogue and don't just rely on computer-generated imagery or the
posturing of comic book heroes. However, as film-makers from Preston Sturges to Danny Boyle
have discovered, there is no reason that a feel-good movie needs to be dumb. You can touch on
social deprivation and political injustice: the trick is to do so lithely and, if possible, with a little
leavening humour.
D. Historically, the best feel-good movies have often been made at the darkest times. The war years
and their immediate aftermath saw the British turning out some invigorating, entertaining fare
alongside all the propaganda. The Age of Austerity was also the age of the classic Ealing comedies,
9
perfect examples of feel- good film-making. In the best of these films like Passport To Pimlico or
Whisky Galore, a community of eccentric and mildly anarchic characters would invariably come
together to thwart the big, bad, interfering bureaucrats. Stories about hiding away a hoard of whisky
or setting up a nation state in central London were lapped up by audiences. To really work, feel-
good movies must have energy and spontaneity - a reckless quality that no amount of script
tinkering from studio development executives can guarantee. The best take you by surprise. What
makes the perfect feel-good movie? That remains as hard to quantify as ever - you only know one
when you see one.
In which section does the writer praise the quality of some more serious films? Q32.1....................
In which section does the writer mention a film character who learns from his experiences?
Q33.1....................
In which section does the writer explain how a director uses a film as a vehicle for his own opinion?
