Because Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions. Speed reading is not just a parlour trick you can use to impress your friends and family. For many, it's a necessary tool for managing time and information in the fast-paced business world; and for many others, specifically students, it's the only way to get through reading-heavy class loads. The practiced speed reader can pick up a lengthy document or a thick stack of paper and use their skill to get the meat of their subject by skimming for the most important details and information. Without developing the ability to speed read, this time-saving technique is merely flipping through pages fast. Speed reading, or increasing the rate at which you read text, is linked to increasing the rate at which you understand what you’re reading. The key to successful speed reading is increasing your.

<span class='text_page_counter'>(3)</span> understanding of the text as you increase the rate at which you read the words. This natural step takes training and practice, but don’t be intimidated by the idea of a challenge. Once you've mastered it, it's a skill that will stick with you for the rest of your life. With continued practice, common words and sentence structures became more familiar and because your brain was tuned and ready, your eyes started taking in Wocks of wml* at a time. The difference between average readers and speed readers is in the blocks of words their eyes take in at one time. The larger the blocks, the faster your eyes move through the text. Speed reading teaches you how to take your reading and your comprehension to the next level. The techniques used in teaching speed reading focus on your individual abilities, namely where you are right now and what might be keeping you from progressing. For example, if you are a slow reader, factors that hold you back may include, but are not limited to, moving your lips or reading out loud or holding the text too close to your eyes. If you are in the practice of moving your lips, or speaking or whispering while you read, you're slowing yourself down dramatically. Your lips can only move so fast. You should be able to read at least two or three times faster than you can speak. In effect, you’re keeping yourself at that word-by-word stage that children generally grow out of in elementary school. Having the ability to speed read can make a significant difference in your life, especially if reading is a strong component of your work. Implementing some simple techniques can get you reading faster and more efficiently in no lime at all. (From Understanding Speed Reading by Brandon C.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the word(s) that best fits each of the numbered blanks. A trend that has emerged recently is the sharing of childcare (45)__________ between husband and wife. Young couples will try to arrange their work schedules so that they work (46)__________ hours or shifts in order that one parent is always home with the children. Since childcare is expensive, this saves money for the young couple trying to establish (47)__________ and provide a secure environment for the family. Husband and wife may also share household (48)__________. Some fathers are just as capable as mothers at cooking dinner, changing and bathing the baby, and doing the laundry. In some cases, the woman’s salary is for family (49)__________ and the father becomes the “househusband." These cases are still fairly rare. One positive trend, however, is that fathers seem to be spending more time with their children. In a recent survey, 41% of the children sampled said they spend equal time with their mothers and fathers. “This is one of our most (50)__________ cultural changes,” says Dr. Leon Hoffman, who co-directs the Parent Child Center at the New York Psychoanalytic Society. In practice, for over 30 years, Hoffman has found "a very dramatic difference in the involvement of the father in everything from care-taking to general decision (51)__________ around kids' lives.” Another factor has recently been added to the childcare (52)____________.

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. One of the factors contributing to the intense nature of twenty-first-century stress is our continual exposure to media - particularly to an overabundance of news. If you feel stressed out by the news, you are far from alone. Yet somehow many of us seem unable to prevent ourselves from tuning in to an extreme degree. The further back we go in human history, the longer news took to travel from place to place, and the less news we had of distant people and lands altogether. The printing press obviously changed all that, as did every subsequent development in transportation and telecommunication. When television came along, it proliferated like a population of rabbits. In 1950, there were 100,000 television sets in North American homes; one year later there were more than a million. Today, it's not unusual for a home to have three or more television sets, each with cable access to perhaps over a hundred channels. News is the subject of many of those channels, and on several of them it runs 24 hours a day..

<span class='text_page_counter'>(5)</span> What's more, after the traumatic events of September 11, 2001, live newscasts were paired with perennial text crawls across the bottom of the screen - so that viewers could stay abreast of every story all the time. Needless to say, the news that is reported to us is not good news, but rather disturbing images and sound by alluding to disaster (natural and man-made), upheaval, crime, scandal, war, and the like. Compounding the problem is that when actual breaking news is scarce, most broadcasts fill in with scare stories about things that possibly might threaten our health, safety, finances, relationships, waistline, hairline, or very existence in the future. This variety of story tends to treat with equal alarm a potentially lethal flu outbreak and the bogus claims of a wrinkle cream that overpromises smooth skin. Are humans meant to be able to process so much trauma - not to mention so much overblown anticipation of potential trauma - at once? The human brain, remember, is programmed to slip into alarm mode when danger looms. Danger looms for someone, somewhere at every moment. Exposing ourselves to such input without respite and without perspective cannot be anything other than a source of chronic stress. Question 55: According to the passage, which of the following has contributed to the intense nature of twenty-first-century stress? A. Our continual exposure to the media B. The degree to which stress affects our life C. An overabundance of special news D. Our inability to control ourselves Question 56: In the past, we had less news of distant people and lands because______________. A. the printing press changed the situation too slowly B. printing, transportation, and telecommunications were not developed C. most people lived in distant towns and villages D. means of communication and transportation were not yet invented Question 57: The pronoun "them" in paragraph 3 refers to______________. A. cable access B. TV channels C. television sets D. TV news Question 58: The word "traumatic" in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to____________. A. fascinating B. exciting C. upsetting D. boring Question 59: According to the passage, when there is not enough actual breaking news, broadcasts ______________. A. are full of dangerous diseases such as flu B. send out live newscasts paired with text across the screen C. are forced to publicize an alarming increase in crime D. send out frightening stories about potential dangers Question 60: As stated in the passage, a flu outbreak and the bogus claims of a wrinkle cream tend to ______________. A. involve natural and man-made disasters B. be scarce breaking news C. be warmly welcomed by the public D. be treated with equal Question 61: Which of the following is NOT true, according to the passage? A. Many TV channels supply the public with breaking news. B. The only source of stress in our modem life is the media C. Many people are under stress caused by the media D. The news that is reported to us is not good news. Question 62: The word "slip" in paragraph 6 is closest in meaning to______________. A. release B. fail C. bring D. fall Question 63: According to the passage, our continual exposure to bad news without perspective is obviously______________. A. the result of an overabundance of good news B. a source of defects in human brain C. the result of human brain's switch D. a source of chronic stress Question 64: What is probably the best title for this passage? A. The Media - A Major Cause of Stress B. More Modem Life - More Stress.
