Passage One

(16) A new study carried out by the university of Lincoln has found

a link between the personalities of cat owners and the behavior and

wellbeing of their cats. The findings suggest that just as apparent

personality can affect the personality of a child, the same is true for

a cat and its owner. Owners defined as individuals with high levels of

anxiety, fear, anger, depression and loneliness were more likely to have

cats with behavioral issues. Such cats display more aggressive and anxious

behavioral styles as well as more stress related sickness. They will also

more likely to have an ongoing medical condition and be overweight. The

rearch also found that mentally well-adjusted owners had come from

happier and healthier cats. Rearchers explained that many owners regard

their pets as a family member and form clo social bonds with them. (17)

The majority of owners want to provide the best care for their pets and

is therefore possible that pets could be affected by the way their owners

interact with and manage them. The study highlights an important

relationship between our personalities and the well-being of our pets.

(18) Further rearch is needed to investigate the cau of nature of this

relationship and look at how owners’ personalities are directly

influencing their pet’s behavior and well-being. It is possible that the

well-being of pets is driven by the underlying nature of the owner not

simply by their conscious decisions and behaviors.

16. What do we learn from the new study by the University of Lincoln?

17. What does the passage say most pet owners want to do?

18. What does the passage say it’s still needed to understand the

effects of owners’ personalities on their pets?

Passage Two

(19) One 50-minute run can add ven hours to your life. This was a

claim made by The Times last week. The claim was bad on a new review

of studies about the effects of running. The review concluded that an

average runners live three years longer than non-runners and that running

does more to extend life than any other form of exerci. But there’s

more to running than its health benefits. (20) Rearch published in

recent years have shown that running changes your brain and mind in some

fascinating ways from increasing your brain function to regulating your

emotions. However, the preci effects vary according to whether you

engage in short fast running or long distance running. For example, in

one study, rearchers compared participants’ ability to learn new words

after veral minutes of inten running, and after 40 minutes of gentle

running, participants were able to learn 20 percent faster after the

inten running and they showed a superior memory when tested again a week

later. In another study, rearchers asked volunteers to jog for 30

minutes and then showed them clips from a sad movie. Participants who

usually struggled to handle negative emotions were more intenly

affected by the sad clips just as you’d expect. But crucially, this was

less so if they had completed the 30 minutes jog. (21) The rearchers

said moderate exerci appears to have helped tho participants to be

less vulnerable to the impact of the sad movie.

19. What did the new review of studies claim?

20. What is one effect that running has on people according to recent

rearch?

21. What did another study find about the participant after they had

a 30 minutes jog?

Passage Three

Welcome to the tour of the Hill Hou. This hou built in 1904 is

one of the most well-known works of Charles Hill, the famous architect.

It was designed and built for local entrepreneur and his family. Before

starting the tour, let me give you a brief introduction about the design

of this amazing building. (23) Prior to beginning his design, the

to have a home with unique design, so the architect was given complete

freedom. The building style is radically different from what was the

fashion of the period. At the time, most large homes were constructed of

timber and brick. This one, however, is made of concrete, a novel

construction material in tho days. The interior of the hou, including

the fittings and furniture, was also designed by the same person. Most

of the furniture you will e is original and in good condition. However,

(25) both pieces in the children’s bedrooms are copies built to the designs

of the architect. Fortunately, all the blueprints for both the building

and its contents have been prerved, so we’ve been able to replace badly

damaged furniture. Let’s begin our tour, starting from the rooms.

Why it matters that teens are reading less?

what happens across a whole generation of people when time spent on digital

media surveys con-ducted over the cour of many years tell

us that American youth are not going to the cinema nearly as often as they

did in the past.

37.[B]Analysis of surveys of over one million teens in the United

States collected since 1976 reveals a major shift in how teens are spending

their leisure time. Paper books are being ignored, in favor of

a decade todays teens have grown up with smartphones. Compared

Online time has doubled since 2006, and social media u has moved from

a periodic activity to a daily one in the same , nearly nine

sites every day.……

enormous decline in 1980, about 60 percent of nior high

school students said they read a book, newspaper or magazine every day

that was not assigned for , only 16 percent did.

screens.……
