The answer may be a clear case of biology not being able to keep up with technology Deep inside the brain there is a “clock” that governs every aspect of the body‟s functioning: sleep and wake cycles, levels of alertness, performance, mood, hormone levels, digestion, body temperature and so on It regulates all of these functions on a 24-hour basis and is called the circadian clock (from the Latin, circa “about” + dies “day”) This body clock programmes us to be sleepy twice a day, between 3-5 a.m and again between 3-5 p.m Afternoon tea and siesta times are all cultural responses to our natural biological sleepiness in the afternoon One of the major causes of the travelers‟ malady known as jet lag is the non-alignment of a person‟s internal body clock with clocks in the external world Crossing different time zones confuses the circadian clock, which then has to adjust to the new time and patterns of light and activity To make matters more complex, not all internal body functions adjust at the same rate So your sleep/wake may adjust to a new time zone at one rate, while your temperature adjusts at a different pace Your digestion may be on a different schedule altogether Though we live in a 24-hour day, the natural tendency of the body clock is to extend our day beyond 24 hours It is contrary to our biological programming to shrink our day That is why travelling in a westward direction is more body-clock friendly than flying east NASA studies of long haul pilots showed that westward travel was associated with significantly better sleep quantity and quality than eastward flights When flying west, you are “extending” your day, thus travelling in the natural direction of your internal clock Flying eastward will involve “shrinking” or reducing your day and is in direct opposition to your internal clock‟s natural tendency One of the more common complaints of travelers is that their sleep becomes disrupted There are many reasons for this: Changing time zones and schedules, changing light and activity levels, trying to sleep when your body clock is programmed to be awake, disruption of the internal circadian clock and working longer hours Sleep loss, jet lag and fatigue can seriously affect our ability to function well Judgment and decisionmaking can be reduced by 50%, attention by 75 percent, memory by 20 percent and communication by 30 percent It is often suggested that you adjust your watch as soon as you board a plane, supposedly to try to help you adjust to your destination‟s schedule as soon as you arrive But it can take the body clock several days to several weeks to fully adjust to a new time zone Question 45: The main function of the body clock is to _ A govern all the body‟s responses B regulate the body‟s functions C help us sleep D help us adapt to a 24-hour cycle Question 46: The word “It” refers to _ A the programme B the body clock C the function D the brain Question 47: Jet lag _ A makes our body clock operate badly B causes our body clock to change C extends the hours of our body clock D upsets our body‟s rhythms Question 48: The word “malady” is closest in meaning to http://megabook.vn/Tu-Hoc-Dot-Pha/ A illness B bore C thought D feeling Question 49: The direction you fly in _ A helps you sleep better B alters your body‟s natural rhythms C affects the degree of jet lag D extends or shrinks your body clock Question 50: According to the article, _ A various factors stop us sleeping when we fly B travelers complain about the negative effects of flying C flying seriously affects your judgment and decision-making D jet lag can affect different abilities differently Question 51: On the subject of avoiding jet lag the article _ A makes no suggestions B says there is nothing you can C proposes gradually adjusting your body clock D suggests changing the time on your watch Question 52: According to the author, which of the following reasons disrupt travelers‟ sleep? A Travelers try to sleep between 3-5 p.m B Travelers‟ attention is reduced by 75 percent C The traveler‟s internal circadian clock has to adjust to patterns of light and activity D Travelers fly in the natural direction of their internal clock Question 53: It can be inferred from the passage that _ A travelers have to spend more money flying westward than eastward B there are more travelers in westward flights than in eastward ones C westward travelers become friendlier than eastward ones D travelers not sleep as well in eastward flights as in westward ones Question 54: The word “fatigue” is closest in meaning to _ A obsession B exhaustion C sleeplessness D frustration 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 following questions from 55 to 64 The ability to conduct electricity is one of the key properties of a metal Other solid material such as silicon can conduct electricity but only effectively at certain temperatures Also, some substances such as salt (sodium chloride) can conduct when molten or when dissolved in water The ability of metals to conduct electricity is due to how their atoms bond together In order to bond together the metal atoms lose at least one of their outermost electrons This leaves the metal atoms with a positive charge and they are now strictly ions The lost electrons are free to move in what are known as a sea of electrons Since the electrons are negatively charged they attract the ions and this is what keeps the structure together An electric current is a flow of charge and since the electrons in the sea of electrons are free to move they can be made to flow in one direction when a source of electrical energy such as a battery is connected to the metal Hence we have an electric current flowing through the wire, and this is what makes metals such good conductors of electricity The only other common solid conducting material that pencil users are likely http://megabook.vn/Tu-Hoc-Dot-Pha/ to encounter is graphite (what the „lead‟ of a pencil is made from) Graphite is a form of carbon and again the carbon atoms bond in such a way that there is a sea of electrons that can be made to flow as an electric current Likewise, if we have an ionic substance like salt we can make the electrically charged ions flow to create a current but only when those ions are free to move, either when the substance is a liquid or dissolved in water In its solid state an ionic substance like salt cannot conduct electricity as its charged ions cannot flow Electrical insulators are substances that cannot conduct electricity well either, because they contain no charged particles or any charged particles they might contain not flow easily Water itself is a poor conductor or electricity as it does not contain a significant amount of fully charged particles (the ends of a water molecule are partly charged but overall the molecule is neutral) However, most water we encounter does contain dissolved charged particles, so it will be more conductive than pure water Many of the problems that occur when touching electrical devices with wet hands result from the ever-present salt that is left on our skin through perspiration and it dissolves in the water to make it more conductive By Helena Gillespie and Rob Gillespie Science for Primary School Teacher OUP Question 55: Electrical conductivity is A one of the most important properties of metals B one of the key properties of most solid materials C impossible for any substance when it is dissolved in water D completely impossible for silicon Question 56: According to the passage, a metal can conduct electricity due to A the absence of free electrons B its atoms with a positive charge C the way its atoms bond together D the loss of one electron in the core of its atoms Question 57: The word “outermost” in paragraph mostly means A the lightest B nearest to the inside C furthest from the inside D the heaviest Question 58: The atoms of a metal can bond together because A the lost electrons cannot move freely in the sea of electrons B electrons can flow in a single direction C they lose all of electrons D negatively charged electrons attract positive ions Question 59: Salt in its solid state is not able to conduct electricity because A it has free electrons B its charged ions can flow easily C it cannot create any charge ions D it charged ions are not free to move Question 60: The word “they” in paragraph refers to A charged ions B electric currents C charged particles D electrical insulator Question 61: Water is a poor conductor because it contains A no positive or negative electric charge B only a small amount of fully charged particles C only a positive electric charge D only a negative electric charge http://megabook.vn/Tu-Hoc-Dot-Pha/ Question 62: We can have problems when touching electrical devices with wet hands because A the water itself is a good conductor of electricity B the water dissolves the salt on our skin and becomes more conductive C the water contains too many neutral molecules D the water containing no charged particles makes it more conductive Question 63: Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? A Pure water is much more conductive than most water we encounter every day B Graphite is a common solid substance that can conduct electricity C Salt can conduct electricity when it is molten or dissolved D Some materials are more conductive than others Question 64: Which of the following could best serve as the title of the passage?
