Exercise 10. Read the
following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions.
Did
you know that on average we forget about 80% of the medical information a doctor might give us?
This fascinating information came to light as a result of a study carried out
by Utrecht University. What is even more interesting is that almost half of
what we think we remember is wrong.
Why do you think this is? Well, it’s not as complicated as you may think. You see, going
to the doctor fills most people with anxiety
and when we are really nervous and stressed we are more likely to focus on the
diagnosis rather than the treatment. Therefore, we know what is wrong with us but
have no idea what to do about it.
Here are some good tips to keep in mind when
seeing a doctor. Always write down any important information. What would be
even better is, if your doctor agreed, to record your consultation. This way,
you can replay the advice at home, where you are more likely to absorb it. If you believe the situation
is serious or you’re really worried, seek the help of a family member. Just ask
them to accompany you to listen in. This way you can be absolutely sure about
what the doctor has told you and avoid falling into the same trap that most
people do.
118. According to the passage, the information doctors
give us ____.
A. is about 50%
wrong B. is only 80% correct
C. is mostly forgotten D. is usually not enough
119. The word “complicated”

A. they always
believe that their situation is serious
B. they are
interested in knowing what they should do
C. they only want to know what is wrong
with them
D. they usually have
a family member with them
121. The word “absorb”
in the passage is closest in meaning to ____.
A. digest B.
inhale C. swallow D. take in
122. The author suggests recording the consultant in
order to ____.
A. play it to your
family members to get their opinions
B. refer to it later to better
understand your condition
C. replay it to
write down any important information
D. use it as
evidence against your doctor if necessary
Exercise 11. Read the following passage and mark the
letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
My first piece of advice to people who want to
start getting fit is: don’t buy an exercise bike. Typically, people who buy
them use them for a week or so and then forget about them. They are effective
if they are used regularly but you need to be determined. Most people will find it much easier to go for a gentle
jog around the park.
As well as being easy to do, jogging is also relatively cheap compared to
most other sports. You don’t need to buy expensive clothes if you’re just going
running around the park or on the beach. The main thing is that they’re
comfortable, and that they keep you warm in the winter and cool in the summer.
There is one piece of equipment, however, that you will have to spend time and
money on, and that’s your running shoes. Remember that you are not looking for
a fashion item, but for something that will support your feet and protect you from injury.
They can be expensive, but if they are good quality they will
last you a long time. It's always best to get expert advice, and the best place for that is a
sports shop.
As for the actual jogging, the secret is to
start gently, and not to do too
much at the beginning – especially if you haven’t had any exercise for a long
time. Try a mixture of walking and running for ten minutes about three times a
week at first. Once you are happy doing that you can then start to increase the
amount you do gradually. After a
few months you you should hope to be able to run at a
reasonable speed for twenty
minutes three or four times a week. It's important that
you feel comfortable with whatever
you do. If you do, you’ll start to enjoy it and will
probably keep doing it. If it
makes you feel uncomfortable, you’ll probably stop after a
short time and return to your bad
habits. In any case, training too hard is not very
effective. Research has shown that
somebody who exercises for twice as long or twice as hard as another person doesn’t automatically become twice
as fit.
123. Which of the following would serve as the best
title for the passage?
A. Exercise bikes B. Gentle jogging C. Keeping fit D. Running shoes
124. What is true about the exercise bikes?
A. Exercise bikes do
not help you get fit.
B. It is more costly
than most other sports.
C. Many people
prefer it to gentle jogging.
D. Most people don’t use it for very long.

A. confident B. decisive C.
flexible D. positive
126. According to the author, you should ____.
A. go jogging around
a park or on the beach
B. go to sports shop for high
quality running shoes
C. keep warm at all
times when you are jogging
D. spend time and
money on fashionable items
127. The word "injury" in the passage is closest in meaning to ____.
A. bleeding B. breaking C. shocking D. suffering
128. It is stated in the passage that ____.
A. you are advised
to start jogging by walking for ten minutes
B. you should expect
to feel much uncomfortable when jogging
C. you should jog
three days a week and walk on the other days

times a week
C. actual jogging
at first D. exercise for a long time
