section c : reading
I. Read the passage and choose the best answer for each question (4pts):
DIET AND WEIGHT
Most of the joggers who are overweight are reasonable for talking about and obsessing with their weight. Since many people start jogging to lose weight (perhaps you’re one of them), it is not surprising that body size is important. More and more people are on a diet, 50% of the women and close to 25% of the men in the US are watching what they eat. Body weight is the second most talked among joggers - heart disease and high blood pressure are the first! There are many factors that affect your weight. They include: body type, diet, exercise level, sex and age. What may be an “ideal" weight for you at the age of 27 may not be ideal when you are 54. And your ideal weight will probably be different during racing season when in a specific training phase.
1. What are most of joggers who are overweight worried about?
A. Their weight	B. Their height
	C. Their jogging	D. The distance
2. To many people, _________
A. body size is not a problem	B. body size is very important
C. they do not care about their body size	D. jogging is a waste of time. 
3. In the US, _________
A. nobody is on a diet	B. 25% women are on a diet.
C. obesity is appreciate.	D. nearly 25% men are on a diet.
4. What are the most talked among joggers?
A. Body size	 	B. Lung cancer	 
 C. Heart disease and high blood pressure.	 D. Diet
II. Read the passage and answer the questions below (5pts)
	Traveling to all corners of the world is getting easier and easier. We live in a global village, but how well do we know and understand each other? Here is simple test. Imagine you have arranged a meeting at 4pm. What time should you expect your foreign business colleagues to arrive? If they’re German, they’ll be exactly on time. If they’re American, they’ll probably be 15 minutes early. If they’re British, they’ll be 15 minutes late, and you should allow up to an hour for the Italians. Therefore, these are some small advice in order not to behave badly abroad. In France you shouldn’t sit down in a cafard until you’ve shaken hands with everyone you know. In Afghanistan you’d better spend at least 5 minutes saying hello. In Pakistan you mustn’t wink. It is offensive. In the Middle East you must never use the left hand for greeting, eating, drinking, or smoking. Also, you should care not to admire anything in your hosts’ home. They will feel that they have to give it to you. In Russia you must match your hosts’ drink for your drink or they will think you are unfriendly. In Thailand you should clasp your hands together and lower your head and your eyes when you greet someone. In America you should eat your hamburger with both hands and as quickly as possible. You shouldn’t try to have a conversation until it is eaten.
According to the text, which nationalities are the most and least punctual?

How long should you spend saying hello in Afghanishtan?

Why shouldn’t you wink in Pakistan?
