	The need for a surgical operation, especially an emergency operation, almost always comes as a severe shock to the patient and his family. Despite modern advances, most people still have an irrational fear of hospitals and anaesthetics. Patients do not often believe they really need surgery- cutting into a part of the body as opposed to treatment with drugs.
In the early year of the 20th century, there was little specialization in surgery. A good surgeon was capable of performing almost every operation that had been advised up to that time. Today the situation is different. Operations are now being carried out that were not even dreamed of fifty years ago. The heart can be safely opened and its valves repaired. Clogged blood vessels can be clean out, and broken ones mended and replaced. A lung, the whole stomach, or even part of the brain can be removed and still permit the patient to live a comfortable and satisfactory life. However, not every surgeon wants to, or is qualified to carry out every type of modern operation.
The scope of surgery has increase remarkably in the past decades. Its safety has increased, too. Deaths from most operations are about 20% of what they were in 1910 and surgery has been extended in many directions, for example, to certain types of birth defects in new born babies, and at the other end of the scale, to life-saving operation for the octogenarian. The hospital stay after surgery has been shortened to as little as a week for most major operations. Most patients are out of bed on the day after an operation and may be back at work in two or three weeks.
One of the most revolutionary areas of modern surgery is that of organ transplants. Until a few decades ago, no person, except an identical twins, was able to accept into his body the tissues of another person without reacting against them and eventually killing them. Recently, however, it has been discovered that with the use of X-rays and special drugs, it is possible to graft tissues from one person to another which will survive for periods of a year or more. Kidneys have been successfully transplanted between non-identical twins. Heart and lung transplants have also been reasonably successful.
“Spare parts” surgery, the simple routine replacement of all worn-out organs by new ones, is still a dream of the future but surgery is ready for such miracles. In the meantime, you can be happy if the doctors say to you: “Yes, I think it is possible to operate on you for this condition.”
Question 26. Today, compared with 1910__________.
A. operation deaths have increased by 20%	
B. 20% of all operation patients recover
C. five times fewer patients die after being operated on	
D. 20% fewer of all operation patients die
Question 27. What is the similar meaning to the word “octogenarian”?
A. eye specialist	B. person having eighth operation	
C. eighteen-year-old	D. person in his eighties 
Question 28. You can be happy if your surgeon can operate because it means__________.
A. you are getting better already.	
	B. he is a good doctor
C. he knows you will survive	D. he thinks your condition may be curable
Question 29. Surgeons in the early 20th century compared with modern ones__________.
A. had less to learn about surgery	B. were more trusted by their patients
C. needed more knowledge	D. could perform every operation known today 
Question 30. A patient can still live a comfortable life even after the removal of__________.
A. his brain	 	B. a major organ such as the stomach or one lung 
C. part of the stomach or the whole liver	D. his lungs
Question 31. The main difficulty with organ transplants is__________.
A. the patient is not allowed to use drugs after them
B. it is difficult to find organs of the same size
C. only identical twins can give permission for their organs to be exchanged
D. the body’s tendency to reject alien tissues 
Question 32. The word “clogged” is most likely to correspond to__________.
A. covered	B. blocked	C. unwashed	D. clean
Question 33. Most people are afraid of being operated on__________.
A. in spite of improvements in modern surgery	 
B. unless it is an emergency operation
C. because they think modern drugs are dangerous
D. because they do not believe they need anesthetics

B. Apart from physical activities, eating too much also contributes to several deadly diseases.

¯ 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 32 to Question 36.
 	It is not surprising that the birthplace of cola was the hot and humid American South. This region had long specialized in creating delicious soft drinks. A druggist in Atlanta, Georgia named John Pemberton created the most well-known drink brand in the world in the 1880s. However, it seems clear that he had no idea how big it would become.
 	Like many American pharmacists of the day, Pemberton was opposed to the drinking of alcohol and wanted to produce a stimulating soft drink. First, he made "the French Wine of Coca," made from the coca leaf. Then he began to experiment with the cola nut. Eventually, he managed to make a combination of the two that he thought was sweet, but not too sweet. Deciding that "the two C's would look well in advertising," he named it Coca-Cola.
 	Pemberton's invention caught on fairly quickly. By 1905, "Coke" was being advertised all over the country as "The Great Natural Temperance Drink." The drink enjoyed additional success since there was a large and popular temperance movement in the US at that time. In the 1920s, alcohol was outlawed, and sales of Coke rose significantly. However, they continued to rise even after the law was removed.
 	Another reason for Coke's popularity was good business sense. A year after he invented Coca-Cola, Pemberton had sold it to Asa Griggs Candler for only $283.26! Candler was a marketing genius, and by the time he sold the Coca-Cola Company in 1919, it was worth $25 million.
