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.
Almost everybody has had acne. Acne, also known as pimples or zits, is a normal part of growing up.
When kids reach puberty, their bodies experience many changes. As the levels of hormones in teenagers'
bodies change, teenagers frequently develop pimples. Additionally, many people continue to have pimples
after puberty. What can a teenager or an adult do to cure pimples? Unfortunately, many cures people think
will work on pimples are really just myths.
Many people believe that popping pimples is the best way to get rid of them. Popping a pimple will
actually push the germs further under the skin, which can cause more redness and pain, or even turn into
an infection. For that reason, doctors who specialize in skin problems normally encourage people not to
pop their pimples.
Also, do you think that washing your face frequently will help get rid of pimples? Of course, washing
your face is a good idea, but washing your face too much could irritate the skin more, making the pimples
even worse.
Another widely believed myth is that not wearing makeup can help reduce a person's chance of
developing pimples. In fact, some kinds of makeup or face creams actually have special medicine in them
to fight pimples. As a result, not all of them are bad for you.
Along with makeup, people claim that eating fatty foods or chocolate can cause acne. The truth is that
eating a candy bar or a piece of pizza will not cause pimples. Even so, both teenagers and adults should
still try to eat foods that are good for their bodies and their skin.
Another myth is that stress can cause acne. Stress comes in many forms, like a big exam at school or
problems with friends. While it is true that stress can cause a person's skin to create extra oil, this extra oil
does not necessarily cause more pimples.

Any type of regular physical activity can improve your fitness and your health. The most important
thing is that you keep moving. Exercise should be a regular part of your day, like brushing your teeth,
eating, and sleeping. It can be in gym class, joining a sports team, or working out on your own. Keep the
following tips in mind.
In the first place, a good mental attitude is important, so stay positive and have fun. Let's start by
finding an activity that you think is fun. You are more likely to keep with if you choose something you
like. A lot of people find it more fun to exercise with someone else, so see if you can find a friend or
family member to be active with you.
Additionally, take it one step at a time. Small changes can add up to better fitness. For example, walk
or ride your bike to school or to a friend's house instead of getting a ride. Getting on or off the bus several
blocks away and walk the rest of the way. Use the stairs instead of taking the elevator or escalator.
Third, get your heart pumping. Whatever you choose, make sure it includes aerobic activity that
makes you breathe harder and increases your heart rate. This is the best type of exercise because it
increases your fitness level and makes your heart and lungs work better. It also burns off body fat.
Example of aerobic activities are basketball, running , or swimming.
Of no less importance, don't forget to warm up with some easy exercise or mild stretching before you
do any physical activity. This warms your muscles up and may help protect against injury. Stretching
makes your muscles and joints more flexible too. It is also important to stretch out after you exercise to
cool down your muscles.
Whatever, your goal should be to do some type of exercise every day. It is best to do some kind of
aerobic activity without stopping for at least 20 to 30 minutes each time. Do the activity as often as
possible, but don't exercise to the point of pain.
