IV. READTHEFOLLOWINGTWO PASSAGES AND CHOOSETHE CORRECT ANSWER FOR
EACH QUESTION.
Passage 1:
Various types of fog are essentially clouds that form at the earth's surface, produced by temperature
differences and moisture in the air. As warm, moisture-laden air cools, its relative humidity (the amount of
moisture that air can contain, which depends on the temperature) increases. Warm air can hold more water
vapor than cold air. So if the air is cooled sufficiently it will reach saturation, or the dew point, at which
point the moisture begins to condense out of the air and form water droplets, creating fog

Passage 2:
A healthful lifestyle leads to a longer, happier, healthier life. Staying healthy means eating a well-
balanced diet, getting regular exercise, and avoiding things that are bad for the body and mind.
Nutrition plays a key role in maintaining good health and preventing many diseases. In spite of all
the information available about diets, scientists still believe that good nutrition can be simple. There are
several basic rules to follow. Keep fat intake low. Eat foods high in carbo- hydrates, which are the starches
in grains, legumes (beans and peas), vegetables, and some fruits. Avoid too much sugar. Limit salt. Eat lots
of fruits and vegetables, which are high in vitamins.
A healthful lifestyle is an active lifestyle. Lack of proper physical exercise can cause tiredness,
irritability, and poor general health. Physical fitness requires both aerobic exercise, such as running, bicycle
riding, and swimming, and muscle-strengthening exercises, such as weight-lifting.
Finally, good health is acquired by saying no to bad habits such as smoking, drinking, and
overeating and by avoiding situations that are consiani/y stressful. People can take their lives and happiness
into their own hands. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle is the first step.
