Read this paragraph to anser questions number 51 and 52.

Scientists and doctors say that about 34 million Americans are too fat. Why is this? One cause is the kind of food Americans eat. Many Americans like ’fast food’. These foods (such as hamburgers and ice cream) often have fattening things in them. Another cause is the way Americans eat. They often eat little snacks between regular meals. These extra foods add extra fat on the body. A third cause is not enough exercise. Americans like driving everywhere, instead of walking. They often have machines to do a lot of the work. Some Americans are also too heavy because of health problems. But for most of those 34 million Americans, the problem is the American lifestyle.

Read the passage to answer question 61 to 65.

Nuclear energy is the energy contained in the nucleus, or centre, of an atom. It is the powerful form of energy that exists. Only in this century have scientists learned how to obtain nuclear energy. They have put it to constructive uses, as in electric power stations. They have also put it to destructive uses, as in the atomic bomb and the hydrogen bomb.

Sometimes nuclear energy is called atomic energy because it is obtained from atoms. This is not a good choice of words. Other forms of energy can also be obtained from atoms. For example, chemical energy, also, comes from atoms. But it comes from reactions outside the atomic nuclei. Nuclei is the plural of nucleus. Chemical energy is released when coal, oil, gas other fuels are burned.

Anatomic-bomb explosion shows how powerful nuclear energy is. You have probably read of nuclear explosions described in terms of megatons, or million of tons of TNT. You may have known that TNT is the abbreviation of trinitrotoluene. It means a high explosive.

The breakdown, or fission, or uranium atoms supplies about 2 percent of the word’s energy requirements. Fission release tremendous amount of heat, which can be used to make steam to drive electric generators.

Early supporters of nuclear power believed that it would provide plenty of energy at low cost. But many problems have developed. The cost of building nuclear power plants has soared. There is great public concern about the possibility of a spread of radiation following an accident in a nuclear plant. As yet there is also no sure,safe way to dispose of the burned out fuel, which is radioactive. And the supply of uranium on the earth, like the supply of fossil fuels, is limited.

    1. Electricity

    2. Atom

    3. Steam

    4. Coal

    1. the nuclear explosion

51. Which of the following statements is true according to the text?

    1. Nuclear is the only energy obtained from atom.

    2. Chemical energy comes from reactions inside the atomic nuclear.

    3. Nuclear energy has a high explosive.

    4. Fission connot be used tomake steam to drive machines.

    5. Scientists have learned how to obtain nuclear energy centuries ago.

51. What does the fifth paragraph tell us about?

Working a long hours at a computer can cause eyestrain. A letter to the New England Journal of Medicine provides one explanation for the problem.

Japanese researchers studied some 50 office workers who spent an average of three hours a day at a computer. Since blinking keeps eyes moist – thus reducing strain – the researchers counted blinking rates under different condition. The workers averaged 22 blinks a minute when relaxed, ten blinks a minute while reading a book and just seven a minute while reading text on a computer screen. The computer workers also kept their eyes open wider, which meant moisture evaporated more quickly.
