question 1

Test 03 Part 2

Seven paragraphs have been removed from this extract. Choose from paragraphs A-H
the one which fits each gap(38-44). There is one extra paragraph which you do not need to use.

PARAGRAPHS REMOVED
A… Well, many of the measures which need to be taken are primarily a matter of new legislation and need not be expensive. One of the first preventive health measures should be an increase in taxes on tobacco to the point at which consumption falls off.

B… labels should clearly state the sugar content of the food, since excess sugar in the diet is the major cause of dental decay and tooth loss and may also be a factor in heart disease.

C… A country's food and agricultural policy should also be based on a coherent health policy. For political reasons it is considered important to have a relatively cheap supply of eggs, cheese and milk, the very foods which are blamed as the cause of heart disease when eaten in excess.

D… Governments should certainly rethink their policy towards people's health and emphasis should be put upon prevention rather than cure.

E… In Great Britain the national diet was recently blamed by the Royal College of Physicians as a major cause of heart disease. It may also be a cause of breast and bowel cancer. However, a report published by the Department of Health and Social Security does not agree with the findings.

F… Much more could be done to improve people's diet in Britain and everyone should be encouraged to eat the types of food which are good for health. Current research on the nutritional value of foods should be freely available and the Government should control the advertising of 'rubbish' food. A programme of health education and lessons on sensible eating could be started in the schools with the Government's backing.

G… Alcoholism could be prevented by making wines, spirits and strong beers more expensive and the revenue raised could be used to set up clinics to help the people who already have a drink problem and want to give up.

H… Legislation is badly needed to ban all advertising of tobacco products as it persuades people to smoke more and so is in a large part responsible for the ill health and thousands of premature deaths caused by cancer of the lung.

Choose from paragraphs A-H
the one which fits each gap(38-44).

How the Government can help people conserve their health.
Most of the ill health we suffer could be prevented if people made more effort to change their life styles. Instead many people continue to smoke, to drink and to eat unbalanced diets. How can governments help people conserve their health and avoid premature death?
38.
The aim should be to raise the same amount of revenue from a decreasing number of people.
In the short term such a policy could even raise extra money which should then be spent on subsidizing sport so that advertising tobacco through sports sponsorship could be banned.
39.
Other measures should be enforced, such as a much tougher health warning on cigarette packets, and tobacco companies should be made to contribute to research into a cure for lung cancer.
40.
Similarly all advertising of alcohol should be banned and compensation paid to families of alcoholics who die of cirrhosis of the liver.
41.
In fact the United Kingdom seems to stand alone among some 14 developed countries as the only one whose Department of Health does not recognise the importance of animal fats in diet as a cause of heart disease. The DHSS should now re-assess its position and take the advice of a broader spectrum of experts.
42.
And even if it is disputed that excess animal fat is detrimental to health, foods could be labelled with the average percentage of different fats so that consumers who wanted to reduce their saturated fat intake would be able to do so easily.
43.
The Government in Britain has put most of its resources into backing fluoridation instead of financing health warnings on sweets and sweet foods. More severe measures such as restrictions on TV advertising of sweets to children could also be enforced.
44.
Finally, the Government should invest in the nation's health by funding more clinics for health screening; the early detection of disease could save many lives, and eventually would prove less costly than the provision of hospital beds, drugs, doctors' services, etc. which become necessary if the disease is not caught at an early stage.

question 2

Please choose the right answer A, B, C or D.

Entertaining is one of the most attractive facets of home life, and children, in my opinion, should come in for their share of it. While there are always the not so mixable children, the ones on the outside looking in, who dislike or even dread parties-happily such children get fewer. For in spite of our tense times, children have a free and easy attitude to life. Children are reaping the reward of a more informal home atmosphere even if the parents are not. Furthermore, if children have their own friends in they are far less likely to resent their parents having dinner parties and applaud their parents entertaining on an adult level.
For the ages of three to nine, party-giving can be the greatest fun of all. Of course, we celebrate first and second birthdays too, but these parties are primarily for the friends and relations of the parents, and therefore fall into a totally different category. Over nine, you meet the modern pre-teenage sophisticate, and the age of fantasy is gone for ever.
You need the following ingredients to throw a successful children's party:
Stamina
Child-like enthusiasm
A sense of timing and plenty of time for preparation
Originality and imagination
A love of strong primary colour
Nerves of steel
Preparing food for children's parties gives mothers a free rein to exhibit primitive love of colour. If you have envied your children as they apply liberal amounts of poster paints in joyous abandon, now it is your turn to be colourful and creative-but in your kitchen.
Now that you have decided to take the plunge, make a few mental notes. You know exactly when the little guests will arrive, and better still when they will go. Consequently, no lingering for an extra hour to show you what fun they are having. If you are a born organiser, now is the time to prove it. In fact, every minute must be accounted for, or chaos will result. But resolve to do all your preparation before-hand, so that when the first bell rings you are ready to grit your teeth and, yes, enjoy yourself.
The children certainly will enjoy themselves. However, be ready to wipe away spasmodic tears-balloons are bound to burst, and then there is pulling, pushing, falling and shoving. Prepare for the grisly fact that on the day, half the guests may drop out. Colds and worse will mean your phone is ringing all morning. It is mothers offering their apologies in soothing syrupy tones. The dozen you expected have now dwindled to a mere half, and you have enough bridge rolls for a battalion.

A the best parties are given for mixed groups of children.
B children nowadays are more likely to enjoy parties than in the past.

46. The writer suggests that children like to

A applaud loudly when their parents entertain at home.
B entertain their own friends at an adult level.

D be entertained by their parents at dinner parties.

47. If you want to give a successful children's party, you should

A paint the room in bright colours.
B be childishly enthusiastic.
C time events with a stop-watch.
D have reserves of strength.

48. Children sometimes stay on at parties because they

A want to continue showing off.
B are unsure when to leave.
C like to prove they're having a good time.
D think that the last hour is the best.

49. A mother is able to enjoy a children's party if she

A controls everything by ringing bells.
B makes a determined effort to do so.
C makes a resolution to do so beforehand.
D leaves nothing to the last minute.

50. One of the most disappointing things about giving a party is the

A number of guests who don't like the food.
B number of mishaps that occur on the day.
C difference between the expected and actual numbers.
D difference between the mothers' and the children's attitudes.
