answer to each of the questions from 36 to 42. 
Despite the fact that too much fat can be harmful, a moderate fat intake is actually 
essential to the maintenance of good health. Some of the symptoms of fat deficiency include 
flaking skin, emaciation, reduced functioning of the immune system, and fertility problems. Recent 
studies have linked fat-free diets to increased stress and aggression, and note that those who try to 
eliminate fat completely from their food intake may be at risk for developing eating disorders: a 
small amount of fat in a meal will produce a feeling of satiety which lasts much longer than the 
sensation of fullness produced by protein or carbohydrates. At least two teaspoons of fat per day is 
needed in order for the digestive system to absorb vitamins A, D, E and K, which are fat soluble. 
These vitamins are essential for healthy hair, skin, teeth, and eyes. Without the ability to absorb 
these vitamins, children run the risk of developmental and neurological disorders. Adults need 
these vitamins to manufacture fertility hormones. 
Some types of fat actually help to reduce harmful cholesterol levels. Polyunsaturated 
fats such as corn, soybean, and sesame oil, and monounsaturated fats like chicken fat and olive oil, 
seem to lower blood cholesterol, while saturated fats – those found in red meat, dairy products, and 
tropical oils – seem to raise the level of the kind of cholesterol that accumulates as plaques on 
arterial walls. Paying attention to the type of fat consumed is just as important as reducing total fat 
intake. 
Question 36: What did the paragraph preceding this passage most likely discuss? 
A. general health guidelines 
B. methods of reducing one's percentage of dietary fat 
C. moderate fat intake 
D. health problems linked to fat consumption 
Question 37: What is the author's main purpose in the passage? 
A. To discuss some positive aspects of dietary fat. 
B. To compare three kinds of cholesterol. 
C. To prove that a low fat diet is inherently harmful. 
D. To analyze recent studies linking fat intake to disease. 
Question 38: All of the following are mentioned as signs of fat deficiency EXCEPT _____. 
A. flaky skin B. fertility problems C. a feeling of satiety D. reduced immunity

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct 
answer to each of the questions from 43 to 50. 
Seeing adults – and children – who simply refuse to be unglued from their cellphones, 
no matter where they happen to be, is very common. Cellphone users often seem to forget that 
others share the same planet, and the talkers can be completely insensitive to those around them – 
to the noticeable annoyance of non-cellphone users. 
Cellphones have saved lives, increased business opportunities, and kept friendships 
going, but they have also been known to destroy the magic of the movies, make everyone at a 
restaurant turn around and stare, and bring many a meeting to an abrupt halt. People have even 
been known to carry their mobile phones to funerals! 
Your cellphone is undoubtedly very important to you because it keeps you in touch with 
the hundreds of urgent things you have to do every day. If you are a frequent cellphone user, you 
will insist that these gadgets are, after all, supposed to be anywhere – anytime phones. Isn’t that 
why we call them mobile? 
It is true that cellphones would not be of much use if you could not use them anywhere 
and anytime. And that is exactly why most cellphones come with a host of features you can use to 
ensure that disturbance to others is kept to a minimum. Even the most basic cellphones have a 
range of ring settings, with some sufficiently soft-toned not to annoy those around you. Some 
phones vibrate or flash a light to alert you, and some let out quiet little beeps. The voice mail option 
allows you to switch off and still no miss any calls or messages at all. So enjoy the benefits that 
cellphones bring, and at the same time, show consideration for others.
