V. Reading — Healthy lifestyle (21–25)
Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
The phrase "healthy lifestyle" is a definition of how you should live if you want to get the healthiest body you can — one that both looks good and feels good. You know the obvious behaviors that describe someone who is healthy and takes care of themselves. A healthy person doesn't smoke, eats healthy foods with plenty of fruits, vegetables and fiber and, of course, exercises regularly. A healthy person also knows how to manage stress, gets good quality sleep each night, doesn't drink too much, doesn't sit too much, does everything in moderation all the time. When you look at everything that could possibly make a healthy lifestyle, you can see just how hard all of those things are in our current world.
There is no such thing as a "bad" food, but there are some foods you should try not to have on a regular basis. Fast food refers to food that can be prepared and served quickly. It is popular as the food is inexpensive, convenient, and tastes good. Because fast food is high in sodium, trans-fat, and cholesterol, it isn't something you should eat often.
The good news is that you don't have to change everything at the same time. In fact, the trick to healthy living is making small changes — taking more steps each day, adding fruit to your cereal, having an extra glass of water, or saying no to that second helping of buttery mashed potatoes. One thing you can do right now to make your lifestyle healthier is to move more.
What is the main idea of the passage?
- How to manage stress
- Some healthy foods to eat
- Benefits of a healthy lifestyle
- Ways to live a healthy life

- cholesterol
- fast food

- knowledge
- stress
- method
- cheating

- moving more
- drinking more

VI. Reading — Lifelong learning (26–30)

Lifelong learning is now becoming a must for everyone in the modern world. Many people, however, find it overwhelming as being lifelong learners they will have to keep studying for their entire life. The following are several strategies to promote lifelong learning.
First, start with a clear purpose. Study something that you will likely have many uses for in the future.

You will need to think of the learning experience as continuous investment rather than a one-off endeavor.

Don't read too much and use your brain too little. Think more often; meditate on the ideas that you feel might make your work and/or life better.
