Part 1

Everyone knows that exercise is good for the body and the mind. We all want to keep fit and look good, but too many of us
take (1) the wrong sport and quickly lose interest. So now fitness experts are advising people to choose an activity that
matches their character. For instance, those (2) like to be with other people often enjoy golf or squash, or playing for a
basketball, football or hockey team. (3) , you may prefer to go jogging or swimming if you’re happier on your own. Do you
like competition? Then try something like running, or a racket sport such as tennis. If, on the other hand, .....(4) isn’t
important to you, then activities like dancing can be an enjoyable (5) without the need to show you’re better than everyone
else. Finally, think about whether you find it easy to make yourself do exercise. If so, sports like weight training at home
and cycling are fine. If not, book a skiing holiday, Taekwondo lessons, or a tennis court. You’re much more likely to do
something you’ve already paid for

. Read the passage below and choose one correct answer for each question.
America’s foods began to affect the rest of the world. American emphasis on convenient and rapid consumption
is best represented in fast foods such as hamburgers, French fries, and soft drinks. By the 1960s and 1970s fast
foods became one of America’s strongest exports as franchises for Mc Donalds and Burger King spread through
Europe and other parts of the world, including Russia and China. Traditional meals cooked at home and
consumed at a leisurely pace _ gave way to quick lunches and dinners eaten on the run as other countries
imitated American cultural patterns. By the late 20th century Americans had become more conscious of their
diets, eating more poultry, fish and vegetables, and fewer eggs and less beef. Cooks began to rediscover many
world cuisines in forms closer to their original. In California, chefs combined fresh fruits and vegetables
available with ingredients and spices borrowed from immigrant kitchens to create an innovative cooking style
that was lighter than traditional French, but more interesting and varied than typical American cuisine. Along
with the states wines, California cuisine took its place among the acknowledged forms of fine dining. 56. Fast

relationship, communication is extremely crucial. Parents should not only concentrate (1) their jobs and leave
their children alone. They have to reserve some specific time to be with their children and show care to them.
Similarly, children have to discuss serious things or big decisions with their parents as it (2) respect to them. On
the whole, both parents and children should try to explain their ideas to family members in a forgiving manner
without anger or hatred The second one is that parents must not put too much pressure on their children’s studies.
Parents (3) have too high expectation. They have to discuss their children’s progress with the teachers.
Moreover, parents should work closely with schools through Parent-Teacher Association in order to participate
in more talks and extracurricular activities with their children. (4) , parents should know what their children like
the most. Indeed. they should give their children a chance to choose what they love if the choices resort to proper
outlets. Accordingly, the generation gap between parents and their children can
