Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions.
LIVING A BALANCED LIFESTYLE
When we talk about living a healthy life, there is a famous old saying, You are what you eat. In fact, it is not just what people eat, but their whole lifestyle, which is important. The best way to stay healthy is to live a balanced lifestyle. Are you living a balanced lifestyle both physically and mentally?
Physical Balance 
The human body needs physical exercise at least once a day. In today’s world, many working people spend most of their day sitting at a desk. To add more exercise to your daily life, try to stop what you are doing about once an hour and stretch or take a short walk. After work, take a brisk walk or go to the gym. Your body will thank you for it. 
For good health, nutritionists say we should eat at least four servings of raw food a day. By eating many colorful fruits and vegetables, you can be sure you are getting the correct nutrients. Have a red apple with your breakfast, a green salad at lunch, some carrots for your afternoon snack, and grapes for dessert instead of cake or cookies. Of course, for a healthy balance, your body also needs other foods.
Mental Balance 
Mentally balanced people are usually emotionally balanced. They are generally happy with the things they have. They do not need to have more and more things. A mentally balanced person also feels good about who they are. They don’t worry about the past, and generally have good relationships with the people around them. That doesn’t mean that mentally healthy people never have negative feelings, but they don’t let these types of feelings control them or their behavior. It’s normal for people to feel their emotions—life always has its challenges and tragedies. But mentally healthy people face those challenges and resolve them quickly instead of allowing them to take control of their lives. By taking a little time each day to eat well, exercise, and clear your mind, anyone can live a more balanced and healthier lifestyle.

Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions.
Long before they can actually speak, babies pay special attention to the speech they hear around them. Within the first month of their lives, babies' responses to the sound of the human voice will be different from their responses to other sorts of auditory stimuli. They will stop crying when they hear a person talking, but not if they hear a bell or the sound of a rattle. At first, the sounds that an infant notices might be only those words that receive the heaviest emphasis and that often occur at the ends of utterances. By the time they are six or seven weeks old, babies can detect the difference between syllables pronounced with rising and falling inflections. Very soon, these differences in adult stress and intonation can influence babies' emotional states and behavior. Long before they develop actual language comprehension, babies can sense when an adult is playful or angry, attempting to initiate or terminate new behavior, and so on, merely on the basis of cues such as the rate, volume, and melody of adult speech.
 Adults make it as easy as they can for babies to pick up a language by exaggerating such cues. One researcher observed babies and their mothers in six diverse cultures and found that, in all six languages, the mothers used simplified syntax, short utterances and nonsense sounds, and transformed certain sounds into baby talk. Other investigators have noted that when mothers talk to babies who are only a few months old, they exaggerate the pitch, loudness, and intensity of their words. They also exaggerate their facial expressions, hold vowels longer, and emphasize certain words. 
 More significant for language development than their response to general intonation is observation that tiny babies can make relatively fine distinctions between speech sounds. Other words, babies enter the world with the ability to make precisely those perceptual discriminations that are necessary if they are to acquire aural language.
 Babies obviously derive pleasure from sound input, too: even as young as nine months they will listen to songs or stories, although the words themselves are beyond their understanding. For babies, language is a sensory-motor delight rather than the route to prosaic meaning that it often is for adults.
Question 43. The passage mentions all of the following as ways adults modify their speech when talking to babies EXCEPT 
	A. giving all words equal emphasis 	B. speaking with shorter sentences 
	C. speaking more loudly than normal 	D. using meaningless sounds 
Question 44. The word "emphasize" in the passage is closest in meaning to 
	A. stress 	B. repeat	C. explain 	D. leave out 
Question 45. Which of the following can be inferred about the findings described in paragraph 2? 
	A. Babies who are exposed to more than one language can speak earlier than babies exposed to a single language. 
	B. Mothers from different cultures speak to their babies in similar ways. 
	C. Babies ignore facial expressions in comprehending aural language. 
	D. The mothers observed by the researchers were consciously teaching their babies to speak. 
Question 46. What point does the author make to illustrate that babies are born with the ability to acquire language? 
	A. Babies begin to understand words in songs. 
	B. Babies exaggerate their own sounds and expressions. 
	C. Babies are more sensitive to sounds than are adults. 
	D. Babies notice even minor differences between speech sounds. 
Question 47. According to the author, why do babies listen to songs and stories, even though they cannot
understand them? 
	A. They understand the rhythm.	B. They enjoy the sound. 
	C. They can remember them easily.	D. They focus on the meaning of their parents' words.
Question 48. What does the passage mainly discuss? 
	A. How babies differentiate between the sound of the human voice and other sounds 
	B. The differences between a baby's and an adult's ability to comprehend language 
	C. How babies perceive and respond to the human voice in their earliest stages of language development 
	D. The response of babies to sounds other than the human voice 
Question 49. Why does the author mention a bell and a rattle in lines 3-4? 
	A. To contrast the reactions of babies to human and nonhuman sounds 
	B. To give examples of sounds that will cause a baby to cry 
	C. To explain how babies distinguish between different nonhuman sounds 
	D. To give examples of typical toys that babies do not like 
Question 50. The word "they" in the passage refer to 
	A. responses 	B. sorts of auditory stimuli C. the babies	D. sounds
