Passage Three Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage: As the pace of life continues to increase, we are fast losing the art of relaxation. Once you are in the habit of rushing through life, being on the go from morning till night, it is hard to slow down. But relaxation is essential for a healthy mind and body. Stress is a natural part of everyday life and there is no way to avoid it. In fact, it is not the bad thing it is supposed to be. A certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation and give purpose to life. It is only when the stress gets out of control that it can lead to poor performance and ill heath. The amount of stress a person can withstand depends very much on the individual. Some people are not afraid of stress, and such characters are obviously prime material for managerial responsibilities, others lose heart at the first signs of unusual difficulties. When exposed to stress, in whatever from, we react both chemically and physically. In fact we make choice between “flight or fight” and in more primitive days the choice made the difference between life and death. The crises we meet today are unlikely to be so extreme, but how little the stress, it involves the same response. It is when such a reaction lasts long, through continued exposure to stress, that health becomes endangered. Such serious conditions as high blood pressure and heart diseases have established links with stress. Since we can not remove stress from our lives (it would be unwise to do so even if we could), we need to find ways to deal with it. 26. What is the central point of the passage? A. Stress is a bad thing to one’s mind and body. B. Stress is unavoidable. C. We should not remove stress because our motivation stems from stress. D. High blood pressure and heart diseases come from stress. 27. People are finding less and less time for relaxing themselves because ___________.

A. expose ourselves to stress B. find ways to deal with stress C. remove stress from our lives D. establish links between diseases and stress Passage Four Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage: Without plants, people could not live. We eat plants. We breathe the oxygen that plants produce. And we need plants for another very different reason: we need them for their beauty. Imagine a world with no plants. Imagine no flowers with their sweet smells, their beautiful colors and their lovely shapes. Imagine when the wind blows, not being able to hear the leaves in the trees open and turn to colorful blossom. Everywhere people need the beauty of plants. That is why even in big modern cities, we have parks full of trees, bushes
