C. READING
I. Read the passage and do the tasks bellow.
 Most people relate stress to physical symptoms like an upset stomach or headaches. Research has
suggested that negative emotions and thoughts may also have close links to our brain. Researchers have
started finding out why we tend to remember negative things more strongly and in more detail than good
ones. “The hrain handles positive and negative information in different parts. Negative emotions involve more
thinking, and the information is processed more thoroughly. Thus, we tend to ruminate more about
unpleasant events and use stronger words to describe them than happy ones," said Clifford Nass, a professor
at Stanford University.
Rick Hanson also shares the idea that our minds naturally focus on the bad and discard the good. He
stated, "negative stimuli produce more neural activity than do equally intense positive ones. They are also
perceived more easily and quickly." This was obtained from his little experiment in which twenty people were
asked to look at pictures showing anger or happiness. The participants could identify angry faces faster than
happy ones even if it was so quickly.
In a journal article Baumeister co-authored in 2001, "Bad is Stronger Than Good", he concluded, "bad
emotions, bad parents and bad feedback have more impact than good ones." This is "a basic and wide-ranging
principle of psychology". Thus, Baumeister and his colleagues noted that bad incidents, such as losing your
dreamy job and breaking up with your girlfriend or boyfriend, may have a greater impact than landing a job or
receiving a marriage proposal.

III. Read the following passage and choose the option that indicates the correct answer to each of the
following questions.
The Winterthur Museum is a collection and a house. There are many museums devoted to the
decorative arts and many house museums, but rarely in the United States is a great collection displayed in a
great country house. Passing through successive generations of a single family, Winterthur has been a private
estate for more than a century. Even after the extensive renovations made to it between 1929 and 1931, the
house remained a family residence. This fact is of importance to the atmosphere and effect of the museum.
The impression of a lived-in house is apparent to the visitor; the rooms look as if they were vacated only a
short while ago - whether by the original owners of the furniture or the most recent residents of the house
can be a matter of personal interpretation. Winterthur remains, then, a house in which a collection of
furniture and architectural elements has been assembled. Like an English country house, it is an organic
structure; the house, as well as the collection and manner of displaying it to the visitor, has changed over the
years. The changes have coincided with developing concepts of the American arts, increased knowledge on
the part of collectors and students, and a progression toward the achievement of a historical effect in period-
room displays. The rooms at Winterthur have followed this current, yet still retained the character of a private
house.
The concept of a period room as a display technique has developed gradually over the years in an
effort to present works of art in a context that would show them to greater effect and would give them more
meaning for the viewers. Comparable to the habitat group in a natural history museum, the period room
represents the decorative arts in a lively and interesting manner and provides an opportunity to assemble
objects related by style, date, or place of manufacture.

Exercise 10. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to
each of the questions.
Did you know that on average we forget about 80% of the medical information a doctor might give us? This
fascinating information came to light as a result of a study carried out by Utrecht University. What is even
more interesting is that almost half of what we think we remember is wrong.
Why do you think this is? Well, it’s not as complicated as you may think. You see, going to the doctor fills most
people with anxiety and when we are really nervous and stressed we are more likely to focus on the diagnosis
rather than the treatment. Therefore, we know what is wrong with us but have no idea what to do about it.
Here are some good tips to keep in mind when seeing a doctor. Always write down any important
information. What would be even better is, if your doctor agreed, to record your consultation. This way, you
can replay the advice at home, where you are more likely to absorb it. If you believe the situation is serious or
you’re really worried, seek the help of a family member. Just ask them to accompany you to listen in. This way
you can be absolutely sure about what the doctor has told you and avoid falling into the same trap that most
people do.

A. is about 50% wrong B. is only 80% correct

Exercise 11. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to
each of the questions.
My first piece of advice to people who want to start getting fit is: don’t buy an exercise bike. Typically, people
who buy them use them for a week or so and then forget about them. They are effective if they are used
regularly but you need to be determined. Most people will find it much easier to go for a gentle jog around
the park.
As well as being easy to do, jogging is also relatively cheap compared to most other sports. You don’t need to
buy expensive clothes if you’re just going running around the park or on the beach. The main thing is that
they’re comfortable, and that they keep you warm in the winter and cool in the summer. There is one piece of
equipment, however, that you will have to spend time and money on, and that’s your running shoes.
Remember that you are not looking for a fashion item, but for something that will support your feet and
protect you from injury. They can be expensive, but if they are good quality they will last you a long time. It's
always best to get expert advice, and the best place for that is a sports shop.
As for the actual jogging, the secret is to start gently, and not to do too much at the beginning – especially if
you haven’t had any exercise for a long time. Try a mixture of walking and running for ten minutes about
three times a week at first. Once you are happy doing that you can then start to increase the amount you do
gradually. After a few months you you should hope to be able to run at a reasonable speed for twenty
minutes three or four times a week. It's important that you feel comfortable with whatever you do. If you do,
you’ll start to enjoy it and will probably keep doing it. If it makes you feel uncomfortable, you’ll probably stop
after a short time and return to your bad habits. In any case, training too hard is not very effective. Research
has shown that somebody who exercises for twice as long or twice as hard as another person doesn’t
automatically become twice as fit.
