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 questions from 36 to 42.
ARE YOU A HEART BROKEN TEENAGER?
If you've been let down by a boyfriend or girlfriend, you're probably hurting. It's not stupid


or childish to feel like this.
Your boyfriend or girlfriend has told you they don't want to go out with you any more. You
feel rejected, alone, unwanted and miserable. You had thought that thisrelationship would
last forever and now it's over. Let's be honest - it's a horrible feeling. Maybe the worst feeling
you've ever felt. Perhaps you feel that life is not worth living and you'll never get over it.
You probably feel that no one has ever felt this way before.
It may sound impossible now, but you will get over it. It just takes time. And you're not alone
almost everyone goes through this at some point in their life. It's an important part of
growing up and actually makes us stronger. What you mustn't do is think that you have

failed. Remember: relationships aren’t like exams.
If a friend came between you and your boyfriend or girlfriend and helped cause the
relationship to end, you'll be dealing with feelings of betrayal as well. If your parents or
friends disapproved of your relationship, you might also feel humiliated and embarrassed
about discussing how you feel. These feelings are normal, but it does help to talk. Try talking
to your parents and friends - they may be more sympathetic than you think. Ask your parents
about their first relationships. The chances are they went through similar experiences.
Don't do anything impulsive. It might seem a good idea to go out and get a tattoo or your
nose pierced, but you'll probably regret it in a few days. That doesn't mean you shouldn't
treat yourself how about buying some new clothes or getting a new hairstyle. Is there a film
you've been wanting to see at the cinema for ages'? Not sure whether to go to that party you'd
been invited to? Go! And if you're worried that your ex-boyfriend or girlfriend might be
there, let them see you can have a good time without them. That will make you feel better!
Sometimes couples who split up get back together and sometimes they don't. Don’t sit
around and wait you’re your ex to call to say they’ve made a mistake and think you should
start going out with each other again. The chances are that won't happen, but it's actually
more likely to come about if you just get on with your life rather than sit at home waiting for
the phone to ring. It may sound corny, but there are plenty more fish in the sea. You will - in
time - find someone new. But don't be tempted to rush into another relationship. This is
called going out with someone "on the rebound". This kind of relationship in week, it will
be bearable. In a month, you'll be able to laugh about it. In a year, it will all seem ancient
history, as you're not together for the right reasons. Give it a little lime before you start your
next relationship.


Here is one other thing to remember. You've just experienced one of the most traumatic
things that people experience. From now on, things can only get better. Each day, you'll feel
slightly less unhappy. You've got a lot of life ahead of you – look to the future and go out
and enjoy yourself!

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 questions from 43 to 50.
Large animals that inhabit the desert have evolved a number of adaptations for reducing
the effects of extreme heat. One adaptation is to be light in color, and to reflect rather than
absorb the Sun's rays. Desert mammals also depart from the normal mammalian practice of
maintaining a constant body temperature. Instead of trying to keep down the body
temperature deep inside the body, which would involve the expenditure of water and energy,
desert mammals allow their temperatures to rise to what would normally be fever height, and
temperatures as high as 46 degrees Celsius have been measured in Grant's gazelles. The
overheated body then cools down during the cold desert night, and indeed the temperature
may fall unusually low by dawn, as low as 34 degrees Celsius in the camel. This is an
advantage since the heat of the first few hours of daylight is absorbed in warming up the
body, and an excessive buildup of heat does not begin until well into the day.


Another strategy of large desert animals is to tolerate the loss of body water to a point
that would be fatal for non-adapted animals. The camel can lose up to 30 percent of its body
weight as water without harm to itself, whereas human beings die after losing only 12 to 13
percent of their body weight. An equally important adaptation is the ability to replenish this
water loss at one drink. Desert animals can drink prodigious volumes in a short time, and

camels have been known to imbibe over 100 liters in a few minutes. A very dehydrated
person, on the other hand, cannot drink enough water to rehydrate at one session, because the
human stomach is not sufficiently big and because a too rapid dilution of the body fluids
causes death from water intoxication. The tolerance of water loss is of obvious advantage in
the desert, as animals do not have to remain near a water hole but can obtain food from
grazing sparse and far-flung pastures. Desert-adapted mammals have the further ability to
feed normally when extremely dehydrated, it is a common experience in people that appetite
is lost even under conditions of moderate thirst.
