Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best
answer to each of the following questions from 23 to 30.
Speed reading is not just about reading fast. It is also about how much information you can remember
when you have finished reading. The World Championship Speed-Reading Competition says that its top
competitors average between 1,000 and 2,000 words a minute. But they must remember at least 50
percent of this in order to qualify for the competition.
Nowadays, speed reading has become an essential skill in any environment where people have to master a
large volume of information. Professional workers need reading skills to help them get through many
documents every day, while students under pressure to deal with assignments may feel they have to read
more and read faster all the time.
Although there are various methods to increase reading speed, the trick is deciding what information you
want first. For example, if you only want a rough outline of an issue, then you can skim the material
quickly and extract the key facts. However, if you need to understand every detail in a document, then
you must read it slowly enough to understand this.
Even when you know how to ignore irrelevant detail, there are other improvements you can make to
your reading style which will increase your speed. For example, most people can read much faster if they
read silently. Reading each word aloud takes time for the information to make a complete circuit in your
brain before being pronounced. Some researchers believe that as long as the first and last letters are in
place, the brain can still understand the arrangement of the other letters in the word because it logically
puts each piece into place.
The best tip anyone can have to improve their reading speed is to practise. In order to do this effectively,
a person must be engaged in the material and want to know more. If you find yourself constantly
having to re-read the same paragraph, you may want to switch to reading material that grabs your
attention. If you enjoy what you are reading, you will make quicker progress.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best
answer to each of the following questions from 31 to 40.
How long will a baby born today live? 100 years? 120 years? Scientists are studying genes that could
mean long life for us. Recently, there are already so many healthy elderly people that there’s a new term
for them: the wellderly. These are people over 80 who have no diseases such as high blood pressure,
heart disease, or diabetes.
[I] There have been many studies of communities where a healthy old age is typical. [II] The small
village of Molochio in Calabria has about 2,000 inhabitants. And of these, there are at least eight
centenarians. [III] When researchers ask people like this the secret of their long life, the answer is almost
always to do with diet: ‘I eat a lot of fruit and vegetables.’ ‘No smoking, no drinking.’ [IV] While in the
past, scientists looked at diet and lifestyle as an explanation for longevity, these days they are
investigating genetics. One researcher, Eric Topol, says, ‘There must be genes that explain why these
individuals are protected from the aging process.’
The new research looks at groups of people who have a genetic connection. For example, in one
area of Ecuador, there are a number of people with the same genetic condition. It’s called Laron
syndrome, which means that they do not grow to more than about one metre, but it seems to give them
protection against cancer and diabetes. As a result, they live longer than other people in their families.
Back in Calabria, scientists are trying to work out how much of the longevity is due to genetics and
to environment. By checking public records since the 19th century and reconstructing the family trees of
202 nonagenarians and centenarians, researchers concluded that there were genetic factors involved. And
they seemed to benefit the men more than the women – an astounding result because generally in
Europe, there are five times more women centenarians than men.
So what really makes people live longer? It seems likely that it is an interaction of genes, the environment
and probably a third factor – luck.
