VI. Read the passage below carefully and choose the letter (A, B, C or D) to indicate the correct answer to
each of the following questions.

Many people continue to skip breakfast despite its being the most important meal of the day.

Busy people often rush out the door in the mornings without giving their bodies the fuel they need to
handle a long day at work. They end up feeling tired by the afternoon and resort to the office snack machine
or biscuit tin.

Loysa Hourigan, from Nutrition Australia, said that catching up on food at lunchtime did not provide
the body with enough sustenance to keep it going for the rest of the day. " Even if you have had lunch, you
won't have as much food as you need. Your brain gets depleted of glucose and you feel tired," Ms Hourigan
said.

According to Ms Hourigan, wholegrain bread and cereals provide endurance. Milk, eggs, and baked
beans provide protein, which helps people to be alert. Rolled oats are also an excellent endurance food.

26. According to the passage, people should _____________.

A. skip lunch B. not have breakfast C. not eat snacks D. have breakfast

27. The word "fuel" in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to_____________.

A. biscuit B. energy C. nutrition D. snack

Identical twins have the same physical appearance. When you look at a photo of identical twins, you might

When you first see them, identical twins look the same, but there are some differences in their looks,

differences in the size of freckles.

Read the passage. Do the tasks that follow.

Both of my parents love travelling, and they usually take us along. My mum told me that I started travelling
with them when I was just four months old. It was a short trip to a city 120 kilometers away from our hometown.
Mum said I was a good girl since I ate and slept during the trip without ever crying.

Every year my family goes on different trips from 2 days to 2 weeks. Normally, we don’t stay in resorts.
Instead, we stay at homestays where we can get to know more about the life and culture of the local people. We
eat with them, watch them cook, and go hiking with them.

Sometimes we go abroad for our holidays. I still remember when I went to Disneyland in Hong Kong and
later visited the Taronga Zoo in Sydney. I will never forget the moment seagulls took some snacks from my
hands when we were sitting outside the Sydney Opera House.

I believe that when we travel together, we can strengthen our bonds and have great memories with our
beloved family members.

Write TRUE (T) if the statement is true and FALSE (F) if the statement is false.
