WHO WROTE IMAGINE?

Imagine, John Lennon's most famous song, was recently voted Britain’s favourite song of all time’. It’s an ...(5)... song about peace and the hope for a better world.

‘Imagine all the people living life in peace.’ The song was a big hit in 1971, and again in 1980 when Lennon was murdered in New York. It became a hit for a third time after the terrorist attacks of September 11th 2001.

But who really wrote the song? Until recently the answer to this question was always John Lennon. But on a TV programme this week Lennon’s wife. Yoko Ono, spoke for the first time about how she, in fact, helped to write the song.

Ono said that the idea and inspiration for Imagine ...(6)... from some of her poems that John Lennon was reading at that time. The poems began with the word Imagine’: ‘Imagine a raindrop, Imagine a goldfish.’ Ono said. When I was a child in Japan during the Second World War my brother and I were terribly hungry. I imagined delicious menus for him and he began to smile. If you think something is impossible, you can imagine it and ...(7)... it happen.’

In an interview just before he died. Lennon admitted that Yoko ...(8)... credit for Imagine. He said, ‘A lot of it - the lyrics and the concept - came from her, from her book of poems, imagine this, imagine that.’ Lennon said that he was ‘too macho’ to share the credit with her at the time.

Ono said that some of the song was written when they were flying across the Atlantic and ...(9)... was written on the piano in their bedroom at their home in England. Ono said, ‘The song speaks about John’s dream for the world. It was something he really wanted to say.' Imagine became a popular song for peace activists everywhere.

In March 2002 the airport in his home town of Liverpool was re-named John Lennon Airport. A sign above the main entrance has a line from Imagine: Above us only sky'.

WHY DO WE LOVE SUGAR SO MUCH?

Many scientists believe our love of sugar may actually be an addiction. When we eat or drink sugary foods, the sugar enters our blood and affects parts of our brain that make us feel good. Then the good feeling goes away, leaving us wanting more. All tasty foods do this, but sugar has a particularly strong effect. In this way, it is in fact an addictive drug, one that doctors recommend we all cut down on.

"It seems like every time I study an illness and trace a path to the first cause, I find my way back to sugar," says scientist Richard Johnson. One-third of adults worldwide have high blood pressure, and up to 347 million have diabetes. Why? "Sugar, we believe, is one of the culprits, if not the major culprit," says Johnson.

Our bodies are designed to survive on very little sugar. Early humans often had very little food, so our bodies learned to be very efficient in storing sugar as fat. In this way, we had energy stored for when there was no food. But today, most people have more than enough. So the very thing that once saved us may now be killing us.

So what is the solution? It's obvious that we need to eat less sugar. The trouble is, in today's world, it's extremely difficult to avoid. From breakfast cereals to after-dinner desserts, our foods are increasingly filled with it. Some manufacturers even use sugar to replace taste in foods that are advertised as low in fat.

But there are those who are fighting back against sugar. Many schools are replacing sugary desserts with healthier options like fruit. Other schools are growing their own food in gardens, or building facilities like walking tracks so students and others in the community can exercise. The battle has not yet been lost.

34. In line 7, the word culprit is closest in meaning to........

A. unknown thing B. cause of the problem C. disease D. sweet food

35. Which of the following statements about sugar is NOT true?

A. Sugar makes us feel good. B. Only adults need to stop eating sugar.

C. Our bodies store sugar as fat. D. We need very little sugar to survive.

36. According to the passage, why is it so hard to avoid sugar?

A. It gives us needed energy. B. We get used to eating it at school.

C. We like candy too much. D. It’s in so many foods and drinks.

37. What would be a good title for the fourth paragraph?

A. Too Much Sugar B. How to Avoid Sugar C. No Easy Answers D. A Solution: Low in Fat

38. What does the phrase the very thing in line 10 refer to?

THE BIG THAW

The Chacaltaya ski area in Bolivia used to be the highest in the world. Although it was less than a kilometre long, it hosted international ski competitions. Today the snow has almost gone, and so have Chacaltaya’s days as a popular ski resort.

The ski area sits upon a small mountain glacier, which was already getting smaller when the ski area opened in 1939. In the past ten years, however, the glacier has been melting at an increased rate. As the glacier melts, dark rocks beneath it are uncovered. The sun then heats the rocks, causing faster melting. Despite attempts to make snow with snow machines, this cycle seems unstoppable in the long run.

As experts debate how to solve the global warming problem, ice in mountains such as Chacaltaya and near the North and South Poles is melting faster than even the most pessimistic environmentalists may have once feared. Rising air and sea temperatures are two well-known causes, but researchers have recently discovered other unexpected processes that take place as glaciers melt. The effects are having an impact on humans even now, and they could change the face of the world in the future.

Serious Consequences

The glaciers of the Himalayas and the Andes could disappear in this century. As a result, the millions of people in India, Bolivia, and Peru who now depend on melting water from mountain glaciers could find themselves in a critical situation.

The ice sheet of Greenland is also melting more quickly than scientists predicted. Greenland’s largest outlet glacier, the Jacobshavn Isbræ glacier, is moving towards the sea twice as fast as it was in 1995. One cause could be meltwater that runs down to the bottom of the glacier and gets between the ice and the rock below. This water makes it easier for the glacier to slide along to the ocean.

Many ice researchers believe that Greenland’s melting, if it continues, will add at least three feet to global sea levels by the year 2100. If the ice sheet of Antarctica, now largely unaffected, begins to melt, the next few centuries could see a six-foot rise in sea levels, forcing tens of millions of people out of their homes.

How can we avoid these dire consequences of global warming? “We have to have a serious and immediate shift in attitude,” says Laurie David, producer of the prize-winning movie An Inconvenient Truth, which helped to raise awareness of the problem. Many believe that an attitude of hope and a desire to stay informed make a good beginning. An informed public is in a better position to help address this critical issue.

43. What was the author’s purpose in writing this passage?

A. to explain the problem of melting glaciers

B. to explain the causes of global warming

C. to illustrate how glaciers are formed and disappear

D. to suggest how to slow the melting of glaciers

A. The ice sheet of Antarctica will begin to melt.

B. The melting of Antarctic ice will add 20 feet to sea levels.

C. Tens of millions of people will be forced out of their homes.

D. Global sea levels will rise at least three feet.

45. The word “dire” is closest in meaning to........

A. very great B. deadly C. too dangerous D. extremely serious

46. What is happening to the ice sheet of Antarctica?

A. It is causing a rise in global sea levels. B. It is melting dangerously quickly.

C. Its outlet glaciers are all speeding up. D. Its condition isn’t changing very much.

48. In line 7, the phrase in the long run is closest in meaning to........

A. for a long time without stopping B. in the near future
