However, bridge building experts thought that this was impossible and told Roebling to forget the idea. Roebling knew deeply in his heart that it could be done. He just had to share the dream with someone else.After much discussion, he managed to convince his son Washington that the bridge in fact could be built. With great excitement, the father and the son hired the engineers and began to build their dream bridge. The project started well, but when it was only a few months underway, a tragic accident on the site took the life of John Roebling. Washington was also injured, and left with brain damaged which made him unable to talk or walk. Washington was never discouraged and still had a burning desire to complete the bridge. All he could do was move one finger, and he decided to make the best use of it. He slowly developed a code of communication with his wife. He touched his wife’s arm with that finger, indicating to her that he wanted her to call the engineers again. Then he used the same method to tell the engineers what to do.For 13 years, Washington tapped out his instructions with his finger on his wife’s arm until the bridge was finally completed.11. What did Roebling want to do?12. Why did the project stop several months after its beginning?13. How did Washington communicate with the engineers after he was injured?The food we eat seems to have great effects on our health. Although science has made great steps in making food more fit to eat, it has, at the same time, made many foods unfit to eat. Some research has shown that perhaps 80% of all human illnesses are related to diet and 40% of cancer is related to diet as well.Different cultures are subject to certain illnesses because of the food that is characteristic in these cultures. That food is related to illness is not a new discovery.In 1945, government researchers realized that some elements, commonly used to keep color in meats, and other food additives, caused cancer. Yet, these additives remain in our food, and it becomes more difficult all the time to know which things on the packaging labels of processed food are helpful or harmful. The additives, which we eat, are not all so direct.Farmers often give certain medicine to cows, and because of this, it has been found in the milk of treated cows. Sometimes similar drugs are given to animals not for medical purposes, but for financial reasons. The farmers are simply trying to fatten the animals in order to get a higher price on the market.Although the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) has tried repeatedly to control this, these practices still continue.14. What is the percentage of human illnesses that are related to diet according to some research?15. Which of the following is the reason for using additives according to the passage?16. What is the passage mainly about? Some colors that people see late at night could cause signs of the serious form of depression. Signs may include loss of interest or pleasure in most activities, low energy levels and thoughts of death or suicide.In a study, American researchers designed an experiment that exposed certain animals to different colors. These animals sleep during the day and are active at night.The animals were separated into 4 groups. One group was kept in the dark during the nighttime period; another group was placed in front of a blue light; a third group slept in front of a white light, while the fourth was put in front of a red light.After 4 weeks, the researchers noted how much sugary water the animals drank. They found that the more depressed animals drank the least amount of the water.Randy Nelson, who heads the Department of Neuroscience at Ohio State University, says animals that slept in blue and white light appeared to be the most depressed.Mr. Nelson has suggestions for people who work late at night, or those who like to stay up late: “If you are just living a typical mostly active life during the day, mostly inactive at night, you want to limit the exposure to TVs and computer screens, which give off bluish light.”17. Which of the following is the sign of the depression mentioned in the passage?18. What kind of animals did researchers choose as subjects for the study?19. Which of the following is true of the depressed animals?20. What did Mr. Nelson suggest that people should do to prevent depression?I like news very much. I like to read (21)two newspapers every day. I don't just look at the (22)headlines. I read most of the stories. I like the (23)political news, the business news, the editorials, and the entertainment news. The only things I don't usually read are the (24)sports pages and the classified ads.I also try to catch the (25)local TV news every day. I like to watch Channel 4 for the news reporting, but I like the (26)weather report on Channel 9 mainly because the reporter is not only good, she's (27)beautiful! For the national news, I like all three of the network anchors, so it doesn't matter (28)which one I catch.On top of that, I like to read a news magazine each week. I like the (29)longer feature stories that give more in-depth coverage of that week's top stories.So, when I said I like news very much, I wasn't joking. When I travel to other countries, the first thing I do is (30)to look for an English language newspaper. Then, I can relax!
