For items 41 – 43
Do you skip breakfast? Millions of people do, and if you are one of them, you are putting
your ability to think and learn at risk. Skipping breakfast can cause you to be hungry, tired, or
grumpy by the middle of the morning. Why is that? First, when you wake up, you have not
eaten for about eight hours. Your body’s fuel, called glucose, is low. Eating breakfast raises
the level of glucose in your brain. Your brain requires a constant flow of glucose to do mental
work.
So eating breakfast will give you a mental edge at school. What if you don’t have enough time
for breakfast or if you are not hungry when you wake up? Having something for breakfast is
better than nothing. Drink some milk or juice. Then catch a nutritious snack later on in the
morning. Yoghurt, dry cereal, cheeses, or fruit are good choices. What if you don’t like breakfast
foods? Then eat healthy foods you do like. Even cold pizza or a fruit smoothie can power your
morning. Any way you look at it, there’s no reason to skip this essential meal.

For items 44 – 46
Getting around the USA
America is huge, so flying is the quickest way to get around the country. It can be
expensive though, so here are some other ways of getting around.
If you aren’t in a hurry, the best alternative is to go by car. You have to be at least 25
years old to rent a car in the States, and you need a valid driver’s license and a major credit
card to do so. There are a lot of rental car companies, and their prices vary a lot. Compare
companies before you decide which one to use and remember it can be cheaper to book for a
week than for a day.
If you prefer to be driven rather than driving yourself, the next best way to travel is by
bus. Greyhound is the major long-distance bus company, and it has routes through the USA
and Canada. Tickets are much cheaper if you buy them seven days in advance, and there are
often other offers. If you’re travelling with a friend, your companion gets 50% off if you buy the
tickets three days before you travel, and children aged between two and 11 get a 40%
discount.
An alternative to using the bus is to take the train. Amtrak is the American rail company,
and it has long-distance lines connecting all of America’s biggest cities. It also runs buses from
major stations to smaller towns and national parks. Fares vary depending on the type of train
and the seat, but you need to reserve at least three days ahead to get a discount. Students
with an International Student Card get 15% off the standard fare. Bring your own food, as the
dining car is quite expensive.
44. What is difference between all the car rental companies?
1. They all charge different prices.
2. It you need different documents.
3. They must offer different types of cars.
4. You don’t have to reserve the car in some companies.
45. Where does the Greyhound bus company operate?
1. Only in the USA 2. The US and Canada
3. All European countries 4. The USA, Canada, and Mexico
46. How can you save money if you’re travelling alone by bus?
1. You can buy a ticket seven days in advance.
2. You should buy the tickets three days before you travel.
3. You should bring your own food when you travel alone.
4. You can show an International Student Card to get discount.
