Obesity is associated with a shorter lifespan and with an increased risk of many chronic diseases. The
good news is that just being somewhat overweight does not reduce your longevity, and for those over the age
of 65, it is actually better to be on the high side of normal than the low side.
A 2018 study looked at body mass index and mortality over a period of 24 years. For those who were
obese, people that had a body mass index of 30 to 35 had a 27% increase in mortality, and those who had a
body mass index of 35 to 40 had a 93% increase.
What weight is ideal? Among those who were overweight but not obese (had a body mass index
between 25 and 30), mortality was only increased among those who also smoked. People with a body mass
index on the high side of normal (e.g. 24) had the lowest mortality.
There isn't any real magic when it comes to maintaining a normal body mass index. Eating a healthy
diet, not too much and avoiding empty calorie, and exercising daily, even if it's fun activities such as gardening,
are the true "secret."
In the past, eating breakfast was stressed as necessary for optimal health. Research is now changing
that thought, and intermittent fasting may have some benefits. Though the concept and research to back it up
are young, intermittent fasting may help with weight loss and appears to have benefits in cancer risk reduction
as well.
If you are struggling, talk with your doctor. But keep in mind that fad diets do not work, and your
greatest chance of success lies in adopting long-term healthy eating patterns and engaging in regular physical
activity for life.
Question 39: Which of the following best serves as the title for the article?
A. Is your breakfast really important? B. Maintaining a Healthy Body Weight
C. Body Mass Index and Mortality D. Knowledge of Obesity
Question 40: The word “optimal” in paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to ______.
A. glamorous B. superlative C. motivated D. envious
Question 41: The word “that” in paragraph 2 refers to ______.
A. obese B. mortality C. study D. people
Question 42: Which of the following statement is NOT TRUE?
A. It is better to do exercise regularly and have a healthy eating habit rather than adopting a temporary
method.
B. The increase in body mass index is closely related to the increase in mortality rate in obese people.
C. If your body mass index is on the high side of normal, you have the lowest mortality.
D. Internittent fasting is clearly proved to be necessary to reduce weight and cancer risk.
Question 43: Which of the following is inferred according to the article?
A. Being somewhat overweight does reduce your longevity.
B. Eating a healthy diet does not mean avoiding empty calorie.
C. Among those who were overweight, smoking increases mortality.
D. Greatest chance of success is fad diets.
Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of
the questions.
Do you feel like your teenager is spending most of the day glued to a phone screen? You're not too far off. A
new survey from the Pew Research Center reveals the surprising ways that technology intersects with teen
friendships - and the results show that 57 percent of teens have made at least one new friend online. Even more
surprisingly, only 20 percent of those digital friends ever meet in person.
While teens do connect with their friends face-to-face outside of school, they spend 55 percent of their
day texting with friends, and only 25 percent of teens are spending actual time with their friends on a daily
basis (outside of school hallways). These new forms of communication are key in maintaining friendships day-
to-day -27 percent of teens’ instant message their friends every day, 23 percent connect through social media
every day, and 7 percent even video chat daily. Text messaging remains the main form of communication -
almost half of survey respondents say it's their chosen method of communication with their closest friend.
While girls are more likely to text with their close friends, boys are meeting new friends (and
maintaining friendships) in the gaming world - 89 percent play with friends they know, and 54 percent play
with online-only friends. Whether they're close with their teammates or not, online gamers say that playing
makes them feel "more connected" to friends they know, or gamers they've never met.
 When making new friends, social media has also become a major part of the teenage identity - 62
percent of teens are quick to share their social media usernames when connecting with a new friend (although
80 percent still consider their phone number the best method of contact). Despite the negative consequences -
21 percent of teenage users feel worse about their lives because of posts they see on social media - teens also
have found support and connection through various platforms. In fact, 68 percent of teens received support
during a challenging time in their lives via social media platforms.
Just as technology has become a gateway for new friendships, or a channel to stay connected with
current friends, it can also make a friendship breakup more public. The study reveals that girls are more likely
to block or unfriend former allies, and 68 percent of all teenage users report experiencing "drama among their
friends on social media."
Question 44. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Teenagers are making and keeping friends in a surprising way.
B. The difference of making new friends between girls and boys.
C. Social media connects friendship.

D. Teens only meet face-to-face one fifth of online friends they have made.
Question 47. The word “they” in paragraph 3 refers to _______.

Question 48. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. The majority of teenage users agree that social media has negative consequences in their lives.
B. Most teens are not easy to give others their usernames when making new friends.
C. Boys are more likely to meet new friends than girls.
D. Thanks to social media, more than two thirds of teens are supported when they face with challenges in
their lives.
Question 49. What is the synonym of the word “breakup” in the last paragraph?
A. degradation B. termination C. elimination D. disparity
Question 50. What does the writer mean when saying “68 percent of all teenage users report experiencing
“drama among their friends on social media””?
A. Most teenagers take part in drama on social media.
B. Most friends on social media of teens are reported in drama.
