There are thousands of well-meaning, responsible teenagers, and it is my firm conviction that they are in the majority.

Passage Two

 

Most people probably do not need to take vitamin pills to improve their health. Yet millions of people do. In the United States 40 percent of the people reportedly take vitamin pills.

 

The American Medical Association noted that vitamins can help keep people healthy when used correctly. For example, children may need to take vitamins for a while; pregnant women and women breast-feeding their children may need vitamins; people who do not eat meat or are eating less food to lose weight may need them. In general, other people do not. But they should try to eat moderate amounts of all kinds of foods-fruits and vegetables, grains, milk products, and meat and fish.

 

About half of all Americans who take vitamins use small amounts just to increase their vitamin levels a little. Dr. Callaway notes those daily levels are already a little higher than we need for good health. Thhealth care groups say these people probably are not harming themselves. The other half uses large amounts in an effort to prevent some things as cancer and heart disease. Callaway says that there's no proof that this works. And huge amounts of vitamins, he says, can be harmful. For example, too much vitamin A can damage the liver and bones; too much vitamin B can damage the nerves; too much vitamin C or vitamin D may produce kidney stones.

 

Questions 21-25 are based on the passage you have just heard.

 

21. What may damage one's nerves if being taken too much?

22. What should those who don't have to take vitamin eat?

23. In the U.S.A, how many people are reported to take vitamin?

24. Which group of people need to take vitamin?

25. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?

 

Passage Three

 

Studies of the effect that makes many of us slumber or feel sleepy during the queen's Speech on Christmas Day have revealed that changes may be required in Britain's drink drive legislation.

 

Dr. James Horne, director of the Sleep Research Laboratory at Loughborough University, is investigating post-lunch sleepiness." We humans are designed to sleep twice a day, once at night and a short nap after lunch, but in this part of the world we tend to repress that." It is a remnant of the same primeval programming that makes all animals in the bush rest in the hot afternoon sun to conserve energy.

 

In his studies Dr. Horne has been investigating the role of alcohol. The theory is that if you are more sleepy after lunch then it figures that alcohol will be more potent after lunch. One would figure then that pint of beer at lunchtime has more effect than in the evening, when people are more alert. Indeed, we find that it has about twice the effect."This has more sinister implications. If people take alcohol up to the legal driving limit, their performance is seriously impaired after lunch," he said. "It seems that alcohol interacts with the circadian rhythm of sleep to cause afternoon sleepiness, so that one pint at lunch time i equivalent, in effect, to a quart in the evening." Dr. Horne recommends mild exercise, a splash of cold air or cold water on the face, or a cup of coffee. Otherwise, take a cat nap. But this should be less than 15minutes, "otherwise, sleep really sets in and one can wake up feeling very groggy and far sleepier than to be gained with."

 

Questions 26-30 are based on the passage you have just heard.

 

26. What does the passage imply?

27. Who take a rest in the hot afternoon sun?

28. Why oughtn't most drivers drink at all at lunchtime?

29. According to the passage, if you sleep more than 15 minutes after lunch, what will happen?

30. What can be inferred from this passage?
