in the smoker. Although many people believe that smoking calms the nerves, this
hormone actually increases feelings of stress, leading the smoker to feel that just one
more cigarette will calm him down. Of course, that next smoke only increases
restlessness.
Tobacco is addictive, and smokers need increasingly larger doses to reach desired
effect. They become physically and psychologically dependent on it and will suffer
severe withdrawal symptoms when they do eventually quit smoking.
The list of illnesses caused directly or indirectly by smoking includes heart disease,
various types of cancer, chronic bronchitis as well as other respiratory illnesses,
and even the loss of one’s sense of smell and taste. People who smoke may have
social problems too, because they sometimes smell unpleasant or have bad breath.
Unfortunately, this may lead to their smoking even more because they feel lonely and
unpopular, so they need extra “kick” that the cigarette gives them.
The solution is simple – quit smoking now! Or better still, don’t even start. What’s the
point of experimenting with something which you know ahead of time can only do
you harm?
Question 36: Which of the following beliefs is NOT true?
A. Smoking causes the release of epinephrine in the body.
B. Smoking can lead to feelings of loneliness.
C. Smoking relaxes you.
D. Smoking leads to dependence on tobacco.
Question 37: Why do smokers increase the number of cigarettes
they smoke? A. Their bodies develop a need for tobacco.
B. They need more epinephrine.
C. It makes them calmer.
D. They lose their sense of taste
Question 38: What point is the author trying to make about smoking?
A. It is easy to quit smoking.

metal band, the electric guitar has influenced popular music and culture more than


any other instrument. Rock’s greatest musicians have always been closely identified
with their guitars. But the instruments being designed for tomorrow’s pop stars may
look and sound rather different from today’s familiar electric and acoustic guitars.
It is only sixty years since the electric guitar was invented. Since then there
have been incredible changes to the technical design of the instrument. From what
was once a rounded wooden box with a hole in the front, the guitar has evolved into
the smooth solid body of the rock guitarist’s “axe”. The most modern guitars are
really computer-controlled synthesizers.
Adolph Rickenbacker’s Electro String Company produced the first world’s first electric
guitar. It
was made of wood and played on the user’s lap. The first real breakthrough in design
came in 1950 when Leo Fender, a California radio repairman, made the first solidbodied electric guitar, the Fender Telecaster. Soon after the inventor Les Paul made
the famous Gibson Les Paul, Fender launched his stylish Stratocaster two years later.
These guitars became standard instruments against which newer guitar designs are
measured.
All sorts of different materials have been used to make guitars. Acoustic guitars
are made from wood, which gives a soft tone. Wood is also a popular material in
electric guitar manufacture, but more modern materials such as glass and carbon
fiber are also used. There have also been guitars with metal bodies and necks though
these were never popular with players, who claim metal feels cold in the hand.
Plastics, on the other hand, have been more used in guitar bodies. A company
that makes parts for the aerospace industry has begun to use a kind of fiberglass that
was originally used in helicopter blades to make the bodies for its electric-acoustic
instruments. Other makers have begun to experiment with graphite, which is ten
times stiffer than wood but much lighter. It doesn’t expand or contract as the
temperature or humidity changes either. This makes it particularly suitable for guitar
necks and for tennis rackets, for which it is also used.

D. Carbon fibre
Question 48: Which one of the following subjects is NOT referred to?
A. Companies that make guitars B. Materials guitars are made of
C. The role of technology
D. Other musical instruments
Question 49: Recent technological innovations _____.


A. have not really improved the electric guitar
B. have been ignored by musicians
C. cannot determine the way the guitar will be played
D. are not what musicians hoped for
Question 50: The writer uses the word “guitar” sixteen times in the passage. What
other word(s) is/are used instead of “guitar”?
A. Axe
B. Instruments
C. Both of them
D. None of them
