Part II Reading Comprehension
Direction:
There are four reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by five question, for each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on ANSWER SHEET.
Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:
     Jogging has become the most popular individual sport in America.  It has become commonplace to see people of all ages running along city streets, in parks and along special jogger's trails that have been built in some cities.  Many theories, even some mystical ones, have been advanced to explain the popularity of jogging.  The plain truth is that jogging is a cheap, quick and efficient way to maintain (or achieve) physical fitness.
      The most useful sort of exercise is exercise that develops the heart, lungs, and circulatory systems.  If these systems are fit, the body is ready for almost any sport and for almost any sudden demand made by work or emergencies.  One can train more specifically, as by developing strength for weight-lifting or the ability to run straight ahead for short distances with great power as in football, but running trains your heart and lungs to deliver oxygen more efficiently to all parts of your body.  It is worth nothing that this sort of exercise is the only kind that can reduce heart disease, the number one cause of death in America.  Only one sort of equipment is needed--a good pair of shoes.  Physicians advise beginning joggers not to try to run in a tennis or gym shoes.  Many design advances have been made in only the last several years that make an excellent running shoe indispensable if a runner wishes to develop as quickly as possible, with as little chance of injury as possible.  A good running shoe will have a soft pad for absorbing shock, as well as a slightly built-up heel and a full heel cup that will give the knee and ankle more stability.  A wise investment in good shoes will prevent blisters and foot, ankle, and knee injuries and will enable the wearer to run on paved or soft surfaces.
     No other special equipment is needed; you can jog in any clothing you desire, even your street clothes.  Many joggers wear expensive, flashy warm-up suits, but just as many wear a simple pair of gym shorts and a T-shirt.  In fact, many people just jog in last year's clothes.  In cold weather, several layer of clothing are better than one heavy sweater or coat.  If joggers are wearing several layers of clothing, they can add or subtract layers as conditions change.  It takes surprisingly little time to develop the ability to run.  The American Jogging Association has a twelve-week program designed to move from a fifteen-minute walk (which almost anyone can manage who is in reasonable health) to a thirty-minute run.
     A measure of common sense, a physical examination, and planned schedule are all it takes.
31.  The main purpose of this passage is to _______.
    A)  discuss jogging as a physical fitness program
    B)  describe the type of clothing needed for jogging
    C)  provide scientific evidence of the benefits of jogging
    D)  distinguish between jogging as a popular fitness program and a
        specially designed physical exercise
32.  The most useful kind of exercise is one that _______.
    A)  trains the body for weight lifting
    B)  enables a person to run straight ahead for short distances with         great power
    C)  is both beneficial and inexpensive
    D)  develops the heart, lungs and circulatory systems
33.  We can conclude from this passage that _______.
    A)  because of jogging, heart disease is no longer an American problem
    B)  jogging can be harmful if the running is not properly prepared
    C)  warm-up suits are preferable to gym shorts and T-shirts
    D)  jogging is bad for the ankles and knees
34.  The author's tone is _______.
    A)  approving   B)  critical        C)  purely objective  D)  angry  
35.  According to the author, one thing a beginning jogger needs most is
    _______.
    A)  a pair of shoes like tennis or gym shoes
    B)  a pair of shoes different from tennis shoes in color
    C)  a simple pair of gym shorts and T-shirt
    D)  a pair of shoes different from tennis shoes in make
Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:
      Everyone talks about the "five" senses of man.  And it's true that we get our information about the outside world from out sense of sight, hearing, smell, touch and taste.  Researchers tell us that the sense of sight--our visual sense--gives us up to 80% of what we know about the world outside our bodies; while the other senses, the auditory (hearing), the olfactory (smell), the tactile (touch), and the gustatory (taste) bring into our brains information about the other twenty percent of what is happening.  But there are two other senses that we cannot get along without, though they are very seldom given any credit for helping us to survive in this difficult world.  These are the sense of balance, and the kinesthetic sense.
     The sense of balance, without which we would act like a drunkard after a heavy bout with the bottle, is located in the inner ear.  The inner ear contains three curved tubes (the semi-circular canals) filled with liquids.  The shifting of these liquids activates nerve endings in the linings of the canals, and nerve impulses from these nerve endings help our brains to keep us upright.
      The kinesthetic sense is actually made up of nerve impulses that arise from nerves planted in close contact with our muscles.  These nerve messages are constantly telling us what position our limbs, trunk and head are in.  They serve as a continuous "feedback" system to help us know how to move our various parts, and when to hold them still.  Otherwise, we would lack the coordination to run, jump, dance, twist, or even sit still.  Incidentally, the word "kinesthetic" comes from two Greek words meaning "motion" and "feeling".  The kinesthetic sense gives us our ideas about our own motion.
36.  The best title for this passage is _______.
    A)  Our Five Major Senses             B)  The Overlooked Senses  
    C)  The Most Important Sense          D)  The Sense of Balance
37.  What is the main idea of the passage?
    A)  We get most of our information about the outside world from our
        senses of sight, hearing, smell, touch and taste.
    B)  The sense of sight gives us up to 80% of what we know about the
        world outside our bodies.
    C)  The sense of balance keeps us upright.
    D)  Two important senses which are often over-looked are the
        kinesthetic sense and the sense of balance.
38.  The kinesthetic sense is located in the _______.
    A)  nerves    B)  brain   C)  skin       D)  inner ear
39.  Nerve impulses originating in the inner ear _______.
    A)  keep us vertical                 B)  regulate our hearing
    C)  give us our ideas about our motion
    D)  tell us what is happening in the outside world
40.  People who cannot see are able to get along in the world, but it
     would be probably most difficult to get along if we lost the use of
     the _______.
    A)  sense of smell    B)  sense of touch   C)  sense of taste    D)  kinesthetic sense
Questions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage:
     Good sense is the most equitably distributed thing in the world, for each man considers himself so well provided with it that even those who are most difficult to satisfy in everything else, do not usually wish to have more of it than they have already.  It is not likely that everyone is mistaken in this; it shows, rather, that the ability to judge rightly and separate the true from the false, which is essentially what is called good sense or reason, is by nature equal in all men, and thus that our opinions differ not because some men are better provided with reason than others, but only because we direct our thoughts along different paths, and do not consider the same things.  For it is not enough to have a good mind; what is most important is to apply it rightly.  The greatest souls are capable of the greatest evils, and those who walk very slowly can advance much further, if they always keep to the direct road, than those who run and go astray.  And I know of no other qualities than these which make for the perfection of the mind; for as to reason, or good sense, because it alone makes us men and distinguishes us from the beasts, I am quite willing to believe that it is whole and entire in each of us.
41.  According to the author, the ability to distinguish between the true
     and the false is _______.
     A)  given by nature to all creatures
     B)  given in equal measure to all persons
     C)  more heavily present to some persons than in others
     D)  an unnatural, cultivated characteristic in all persons
42.  The author claims that what sets human beings apart from beasts is
     ______.
     A)  a sense of organization combined with the ability to create
     B)  the ability to adapt to the surroundings
     C)  a sense of reason coupled with a strong sense of practicability
     D)  a sense of reason
43.  The basic idea of the passage may be stated as follows:
     A)  All persons have an equal portion of good will when they are born.
     B)  Great souls are capable of great evils.
     C)  Good sense, in terms of its distribution among persons, may be
         called common sense.
     D)  Good sense is the mark of the truly good person.
44.  According to the author, a good sense is _______.
     A)  the ability to distribute things equally
     B)  the ability to judge correctly and to distinguish the true from
         the false
     C)  the ability to direct our thoughts along different paths
     D)  the ability to always keep to the direct road
45.  By "Good Sense" the author means _______.
     A)  the power to deduce        B)  the power to make a good judgement
     C)  a good feeling for actors    D)  the power to understand

Questions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage:
     Time spent in a bookshop can be most enjoyable, whether you are a book-lover or merely there to buy a book as a present.  You may even have entered the shop just to find shelter from a sudden shower.  Whatever the reason, you can soon become totally unaware of your surroundings.  The desire to pick up a book with an attractive dust-jacket is irresistible, although this method of selection ought not to be followed, as you might end up with a rather dull book.  You soon become engrossed in some book or other, and usually it is only much later that you realize you have spent far too much time there and must hasten to keep some forgotten appointment--without buying a book, of course.
     This opportunity to escape the realities of everyday life is, I think, the main attraction of a bookshop.  There are not many places where it is possible to do this.  A music shop is very much like a bookshop.  You can wander round such places to your heart's content.  If it is a good shop, no assistant will approach you with the inevitable greeting:  "Can I help you, sir?"  You needn't buy anything you don't want.  In a bookshop, an assistant should remain in the background until you have finished browsing.  Then, and only then, are his services necessary.  Of course, you may want to find out where a particular section is, but when he has led you there, the assistant should leave politely and look as if he is not interested in selling a single book.
      You have to be careful not to be attracted by the variety of books in a bookshop.  It is very easy to enter the shop looking for a book on ancient coins and to come out carrying a copy of the latest best-selling novel and perhaps a book about brass-rubbing--something which had only vaguely interested you up until then.  This volume on the subject, however,happened to be so well illustrated and the part of the text you read proved so interesting that you just had to buy it.  This sort of thing can be very dangerous.  Apart from running up a huge account, you can waste a great deal of time wandering from section to section.  Book sellers must be both long-suffering and indulgent.
46.  In a good bookshop, _______.
     A)  nobody takes any notice of you      B)  the assistant greets you in a friendly way
     C)  you feel that you are in a music shop  D)  your heart is contented
47.  An assistant should help you ________.
     A)  as soon as you have entered the shop   B)  just before you finish browsing
     C)  only when you have finished browsing  D)  when he leads you to a particular section
48.  It is very easy to enter a bookshop and buy _______.
     A)  a book on ancient coins          B)  a best-selling novel on brass-rubbing
     C)  a book that vaguely interests you   D)  a book that unexpectedly interests you
49.  According to the author, the best way to escape the realities of
     routine life is _______.
     A)  to chat with a friendly assistant in a bookshop
     B)  to wander in the streets
     C)  to buy a best-selling novel to read
     D)  to stay reading books of various kinds in a bookshop
50.  The best title for this passage may be _______.
     A)  Don't Waste Your Time in a Bookshop    B)  Bookshop and Its Assistants
     C)  On Buying Books                    D)  Keep Your Appointment
