D 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 from 21 to 30. THE BODY CLOCK Why is it that flying to New York from London will leave you feeling less tired than flying to London from New York? The answer may be a clear case of biology not being able to keep up with technology. Deep inside the brain there is a clock that governs every aspect of the bodys functioning: sleep and wake cycles, levels of alertness, performance, mood, hormone levels, digestion, body temperature and so on. It regulates all of these functions on a 24-hour basis and is called the circadian clock (from the Latin, circa about + dies day). This body clock programmes us to be sleepy twice a day, between 3-5 a.m and again between 3-5 p.m. Afternoon tea and siesta times are all cultural responses to our natural biological sleepiness in the afternoon. One of the major causes of the travelers malady known as jet lag is the non-alignment of a persons internal body clock with clocks in the external world. Crossing different time zones confuses the circadian clock, which then has to adjust to the new time and patterns of light and activity. To make matters more complex, not all internal body functions adjust at the same rate. So your sleep/wake may adjust to a new time zone at one rate, while your temperature adjusts at a different pace. Your digestion may be on a different schedule altogether. Though we live in a 24-hour day, the natural tendency of the body clock is to extend our day beyond 24 hours. It is contrary to our biological programming to shrink our day. That is why travelling in a westward direction is more body-clock friendly than flying east. NASA studies of long haul pilots showed that westward travel was associated with significantly better sleep quantity and quality than eastward flights. When flying west, you are extending your day, thus travelling in the natural direction of your internal clock. Flying eastward will involve shrinking or reducing your day and is in direct opposition to your internal clocks natural tendency. One of the more common complaints of travelers is that their sleep becomes disrupted. There are many reasons for this: Changing time zones and schedules, changing light and activity levels, trying to sleep when your body clock is programmed to be awake, disruption of the internal circadian clock and working longer hours Sleep loss, jet lag and fatigue can seriously affect our ability to function well. Judgment and decision-making can be reduced by 50%, attention by 75 percent, memory by 20 percent and communication by 30 percent. It is often suggested that you adjust your watch as soon as you board a plane, supposedly to try to help you adjust to your destinations schedule as soon as you arrive. But it can take the body clock several days to several weeks to fully adjust to a new time zone. Question 21: The main function of the body clock is to________
10

A. help us sleep. B. help us adapt to a 24-hour cycle. C. regulate the bodys functions. D. govern all the bodys responses. Question 22: The word It refers to________ A. the programme B. the body clock C. the function D. the brain Question 23: Jet lag A. makes our body clock operate badly B. causes our body clock to change C. extends the hours of our body clock D. upsets our bodys rhythms Question 24: The word malady is closest in meaning to________ A. feeling B. bore C. illness D. thought Question 25: The direction you fly in________ A. extends or shrinks your body clock B. alters your bodys natural rhythms C. helps you sleep better D. affects the degree of jet lag Question 26: According to the article________ A. jet lag can affect different abilities differently. B. flying seriously affects your judgment and decision-making. C. travelers complain about the negative effects of flying. D. various factors stop us sleeping when we fly. Question 27: On the subject of avoiding jet lag the article________ A. suggests changing the time on your watch. B. proposes gradually adjusting your body clock. C. says there is nothing you can do. D. makes no suggestions. Question 28: According to the author, which of the following reasons disrupt travelers sleep? A. Travelers try to sleep between 3-5 p.m. B. Travelers attention is reduced by 75 percent. C. Travelers fly in the natural direction of their internal clock. D.

Prehistoric horses were far removed from the horses that Christopher Columbus brought on his ships during his second voyage to the New World. Although fossil remains of dawn horses have been excavated in several sites in Wyoming and New Mexico, these animal, which were biologically different from contemporary horses, had been extinct several millennia before onset of the Indian era. Although moviegoers visualize an Indian as a horse rider, Indians were not familiar with horses until the Spanish brought them to Mexico, New Mexico, Florida, and the West Indies in 1519. Those that escaped from the conquerors or were left behind became the ancestors of the wild horses that still roam the southwestern regions of the country. The Indian tribe scattered in the western plains began to breed horse about 1600. The arrival of the horse produced a ripple effect throughout the Great Plains as the Indians living there were not nomadic and engaged in rudimentary farming and grazing land hunting. Tracking stampeding herds of buffalo and elk on foot was not the best way to stock quantities of meat to adequately feed the entire tribe during the winter. However, mounted on horses, the hunting team could cover ground within a substantial distance from their camps and transport their game back to be roasted, dried into jerky, or smoke for preservation. The hunters responsible for tribe provisions stayed on the move almost continuously, replacing their earth14

and-sod lodges with tepees. Horses carried not only their riders but also their possessions and booty. The Blackfoot Indians of the Canadian plains turned almost exclusive hunters, and the Crow split off from the mainstream Indian farming in favor of hunting. In fact, some of the Apache splinter groups abandoned agricultural cultivation altogether. The horse also drastically altered Indian warfare by allowing rapid maneuvering before, during, and after skirmishes. With the advent of the horse, the Apache, Arapahoe, and Cheyenne established themselves as territorial monopoly in the Plains. Because Indians did not have the wheel and had dragged their belongings from one settlement to another, horse also enabled them to become more mobile and expedient during tribal migration. In fact, the Cheyenne abolished the custom of discarding belongings and tepee skins simply because there were no means to transport them Question 71: The word excavated is closest in meaning to________ A. exasperated B. extinguished C. hunted down D. dug up Question 72: According to the passage, how many genetic species of horses are known today?
