2. 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 31 to 35

In April 1961, Russian cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin made history when he became the first man to travel in space. On July 20, 1969, American astronaut Neil Armstrong became the first man to walk on the Moon. Now that humans have been to the Moon and robots have been sent to Mars, some peoplebelieve the next step is for humans to visit Mars. There’s no doubt that the first person to walk on Mars will become as famous as Gagarin or Armstrong, and many astronauts would love the opportunity. But what is space travel really like for the men and women who go on these missions?Many astronauts suffer physical problems on these missions, even if they are in space for just a few months. Some of these problems are short-lived; others may be long-lasting. More than two-thirds of all astronauts suffer from motion sickness while travelingin space. In an environment without gravity, the body cannot tell up from down. The body’s internal balance system sends confusing signals to the brain, which can result in nausea lasting as long as a few days. The amountof blood and other fluids in the body also ends up being distributeddifferently after an extended period of time in this environment. More fluid than normal ends up in the face, neck, and chest, resulting in a puffy face, bulging neck veins, and a slightly enlarged heart.In addition to physical difficulties, astronauts who travel for long periods may also suffer from psychological stress. Space travel requires astronauts to be very focused, balanced people. The irregular sleep, long working hours, and the lack of night and day can affect a person’s emotions and stress level. Being able to control one’s emotions is an important characteristic for an astronaut. A major factor that affects astronauts’ mental well-being is time. To date, astronauts have only spent a few months in space at a time, but longer expeditions would require astronauts to spend significantly more time inside a spaceship. Being confined in a small space for such a long period oftime is not healthy.Astronauts-especially those whoachieved significant “firsts” such as Gagarin and Armstrong-are often seen as exciting adventurers. This may be accurate, but it’s also worth remembering their dedication and the sacrifices theymake to explore our universe

3. 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 36 to 42
 
Time has become a scarce commodity. Everyone wants more of it. The refrain ‘If only I had more time!’ echoes around the offices, kitchens and bedrooms of Britain; ‘hurry sickness’ is becoming the malaiseof the new millennium. All over the world, people are working longer hours, struggling tofit more and more into everyday. Symptoms include jabbing the ‘door close’ button on lift doors to save the two to four seconds required for the door to do it on its own, and an inability to do one thing at a time, so that every journey is a phone call opportunity.Technology is helping to speed up the world: laptops, mobile phones (with a hands-free set so that you can do something else at the same time), pagers, remote controls. We live in an instant, insistent world. Adverts for energy-boosting drinksread: ‘Having trouble keeping up with yourself?’ We yearn for the lazy afternoons and days of yesteryear -but enthusiastically sign up for email, messaging services, language classes. Even time management courses. The result is parents with a lack of quality time to spend with their children, and surveys showing that working couples see less of each other than ever before and that rows over time spent on domestic labour or childcare top the list of marital discord. The idea of doing nothing has become terrifying, a sure sign of worthlessness.Like any commodity that is scarce, time has become a battleground. In what is supposed to be the world of the consumer, firms steal time from customers. It is now perfectly acceptable to be asked to hold the instant the phone is answered. Thissaves the company time and money but costs you time. We are engaged in a constant, subtle war over time. If the politics of class dominated the last century, the politics of time could dominate this one.Of course, there is a class dimension to the rush culture. One of the biggest transitions of the past few decades has been to take the previous relationship between time and status -the rich had lots of time, the poor very little -and reverse it. While bankers in the City are now at their desksat 7am, in the good old days ‘bankers’ hours’ meant 10am till 4pm with a decent lunch break. Moreover, to be seen to have time to spare is a sign of low status: arranging lunch, it is never done to be available too soon. Similarly, being late is moving from a sign of rudeness to a sign of status.A two-tier time society is being built, with the money-rich, time-poor on one side, and the money-poor, time-rich on the other. The rich are working longer and longer hours in order to compete witheachother. At the same time, they are employing others -cleaners, childminders, fast-food restaurant workers -in order to allow themselves to work all the time. Meanwhile, more and more of us are putting ourselves on the treadmillof constant activity,taking on an increasingly heavy workload, and never stopping for a moment to ask ourselves why.(Adapted from Clockwise Advanced by Jon Naunton)
