Read the text to answer question no. 11-15 Many processes within our bodies are timed to a cycle of about twenty-four hours. If the body temperature is taken every hour or so throughout the day or night, each person is found to have a certain pattern. The temperature rises and falls about two degress every twenty-four hours. Some people‟s temperature rise very rapidly after awakening and then begin to fall in the afternoon and evening. For others their temperatures rise very slowly at first, reach a peak in the late afternoon or evening, and do not begin to drop until quite late in

the day. In all cases, a person‟s temperature is at its lowest during the time of sleep. People tend to feel most wide-awake and can work best at the high point of their temperature. You may have noticed that some people jump out of bed bright and early and are cheerful and active during the early part of the day, then grow tired in the evening and go to bed quite early. Others find it difficult to get up in the morning and do not seem able to get going very well until afternoon; during the evening, they wide-awake and hate to go bed. People can usually adjust to a different schedule if necessary, but it seems to be more difficult for some

Most words in the English language have more than one simple, or basic, meaning. One example is the word diet. The most general definition of the noun is "a person's or a group's usual food choices and habits." In a more specific definition, diet means "an eating plan with only certain kinds or amounts of food." For instance, a diet is often a plan to lose weight. And as a verb, diet means "go on a diet."

All over the world, the global dietincludes fast food— prepared items from inexpensive

restaurants, snack bars, or food stands. Some examples of typically American fast food are hamburgers, hot dogs, sandwiches, fried chicken, and so on. Some types of international fast foods might be German sausage and schnitzel, Italian, pizza and pasta, Mexican tacos and burritos, Middle Eastern shish kebab and falafel, Japanese sushi and tempura, Chinese eggrolls and noodles, and the like. The variety of fast foods available on the planet is growing. Even so, this kind or style of nourishment is becoming universal, or worldwide. Fast-food places usually prepare and serve the items quickly. Many are part of fast-food chains (eating places with the same name and company owner).

For instance, the biggest and most famous American fast-food chain serves hamburgers in every continent on the planet except Antarctica. In over 120 different countries, its 25,000 eating places have the same look. They have a similar atmosphere.

Some people seem to have capacity for learning languages. They can pick up new vocabulary, master rules or grammar, and learn to write in the new language more quickly than others. They do not seem to be any more intelligent than others, so what makes language learning so much easier for them? Perhaps if we take close look at these successful language learners we may discover a few of the techniques which make language learning easier for them. First of all, successful language learners are independent learners. They do not depend on the book or the teacher; they discover their own way to learn the language. Instead of waiting for the teacher to explain, they try to find the patterns and the rules for themselves. They are good guessers who look for clues and form their own conclusions. When they guess wrong, they guess again. They try to learn from their mistakes. Successful language learning is active learning. Therefore, successful learners do not wait for a chance to use the language; they look for such a chance. They find people who speak the language and they ask these people to correct them when they make a mistake. They will try anything to communicate. They are not afraid to repeat what they hear or to say strange things; they are willing to make mistake and try again. When communication is difficult, they can accept information that is inexact or incomplete. It is more important for them to learn to learn to think in the language than to know the meaning of every word. 35. The passage mainly discusses about.....

a. To make judgment that being successful learners is difficult b. To remind us that not all people can learn language c. To tell that the writer is a successful learner d.

Although the official position of the medical profession is to maintain life indefinitely, regardless of the condition of the patient, but with certain cases, euthanasia, practice of ending a life so as to release an individual from intolerable diseases, should be administrated. I believe that Euthanasia should be legalized because of that option of dying. People say that there should be an option to live, but I think that there should also be an option to die. Many also think that they should stay alive because they do not want for their own reason. Why not put those out of their suffering, if the pain that one goes through is extremely painful why not let them die. Many states have laws that state the condition of when a person is decreased. State believe that they should authorize the death of an individual when it is not really impossible to safe them. I believe that there should be a choice of death or life. I am not saying who should make the decision, but all I am saying is that Euthanasia should be legalized.
