Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the

THE MUSCLES IN OUR BODY
Our human body is made up of many muscles. All these muscles work together to help you
move. They form the muscle system. 650 muscles are wrapped around your bones. They basically
cover the bones like a blanket. Muscles are fastened to the bones by tough bands. These bands are
called tendons. You can see your tendons when you wiggle your finger. Moving your fingers back
and forth makes your tendons move.
These muscles around the bone must be told when to move. They are controlled by your
thinking. If you want to walk, talk or smile, you send a message to the brain. Your brain picks up
the message. It receives it and processes it. Then it sends out an electrical signal through the nerves.
The nerves make connections until the signal reaches the proper muscle. This signal tells a muscle
what it has to do. The muscle simply does exactly what the brain tells it to do. When you jump,
hundreds of muscles work to help you do that.
Muscles work all the time. They even work when you are fast asleep. They keep your body
firm and strong. Therefore, it is important to be in good shape. You need to stay healthy so that your
muscles can remain powerful too. One thing that muscles need is good food. Muscles develop when
they have protein. Milk, eggs, red meat, fish and beans are rich in protein. A healthy diet includes
these food types. Muscles also need to be exercised to remain firm and toned. Regular exercise
makes your muscles bigger, strengthens your heart and lungs and makes you more flexible. Good
ways to exercise our walking, swimming, cycling, dancing or playing soccer. These activities
improve your stamina. If you have good stamina, you can keep going for a long time without
getting tired.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate
the correct answer to each of the questions from 36 to 42.
During her New York days, Mabel Dodge had preached the gospel of Gertrude Stein and
spread the fame of her new style. Like Miss Stein, Mabel Dodge had long planned to “upset”
America with fatal disaster to the old older of things.
Gertrude Stein had no interest in anything that was not aggressively modern. She had
conceived it as a part of her mission to “kill” the nineteenth century “dead”, and she was convinced
that her work was “really the beginning of modern writing.” Her story “Melanctha” in Three Lives,
privately printed in 1907, was the “first definite step”, as she wrote later, "into the twentieth
century”. There was at least a grain of truth in this.
 Just then the movement of modem art, so called for many years, was also beginning in Paris
with Matisse and Picasso, and Gertrude Stein and her brother Leo were friends of these
protagonists. The Stems had the means to buy their pictures. Gertrude shared, moreover, the point
of view of these avant-garde artists, and she endeavored to parallel in words their effects in paint.
Gertrude Stein wrote her “Melanotha” while posing for Picasso’ s portrait of herself. Picasso
had just discovered African sculpture, previously interesting only to curio hunters, and this may
have set her mind running on the Black girl Melanctha, whose story was the longest and most
moving of her Three Lives. It was not difficult to find in these a trace of the influence of African
art, with the influence alike of Matisse and Picasso.

D. printing booklets promoting the merits of twentieth-century literature
Question 40. The story “Melanctha” first appeared in the ________ .
A. mid-nineteenth century B. late nineteenth century
