1. The information presented in this article is?

• A. Against eating and drinking
• B. Against drinking alcohol
• C. Against eating rich foods
• D. Unbiased and informative.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The information presented in the article is unbiased in its approach. While the article highlights the potential issues related to overeating and alcohol abuse, it does not explicitly advocate against eating and drinking, drinking alcohol, or eating rich foods. The primary focus is on the negative consequences of overeating and alcohol abuse, making choice D, 'Unbiased and informative,' the correct answer. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they are not supported by the content of the article; it merely discusses the risks associated with overeating and alcohol abuse without taking a stand against them.

2. Which sound waves have a lower pitch?

• A. Those waves that are closer together
• B. Those waves that are farther apart
• C. Those waves that travel a long distance
• D. Those waves that travel a short distance

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Sound waves that are farther apart have a lower pitch. The Doppler Effect explains that as objects emitting sound move away, the sound waves become more spaced out, resulting in a lower frequency and a lower pitch. Choice A is incorrect because waves that are closer together have a higher frequency and a higher pitch. Choices C and D are not directly related to determining the pitch of sound waves.

3. What is the main idea of the passage about The Sleep Workout?

• A. Insufficient sleep can lead to obesity.
• B. Insufficient sleep inhibits the natural release of human growth hormone in the human body.
• C. Getting the proper amount of uninterrupted sleep plays a major role in the development of muscle.
• D. Developing muscle growth is an effective way to stay healthy as we get older.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The main idea of the passage is that getting the proper amount of uninterrupted sleep plays a major role in the development of muscle. The passage emphasizes how muscle growth occurs during rest periods following a workout, with sleep being a critical time for muscle fiber rebuilding. The connection between sleep, human growth hormone (HGH) release, and muscle development is highlighted. Choice A is incorrect because while the passage mentions the link between inadequate sleep and obesity due to altered appetite hormones, the main focus is on muscle development. Choice B is incorrect because although the passage discusses HGH release during deep sleep, the primary emphasis is on the role of uninterrupted sleep in muscle development. Choice D is incorrect because while the passage acknowledges that developing muscle growth is essential for health as we age, the key point is the significance of uninterrupted sleep in the muscle development process.

• C. Eating with forks is difficult.
• D. Space travel eliminated the need for utensils.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B. The passage clearly states that China developed chopsticks as an efficient tool for eating, making choice B the correct statement. Choice A is incorrect as chopsticks were not developed in Europe but in China. Choice C is not supported by the passage as it does not discuss the difficulty of eating with forks. Choice D is also incorrect as space travel introduced new challenges but did not eliminate the need for utensils.

• A. The Amazon Rainforest is shrinking rapidly.
• B. The Amazon Rainforest is home to diverse species.
• C. The Amazon Rainforest is unaffected by human activity.

The passage describes the rainforest as home to over 2,000 birds and mammals, with one in every five birds in the world living there. It also mentions the vast variety of insects, trees, and plants present in the rainforest, showcasing its rich ecosystem. Choice A is incorrect as the passage does not directly state that the Amazon Rainforest is shrinking rapidly, although it does mention the dangers it faces. Choice C is incorrect as the passage clearly indicates that human activity, such as deforestation, poses a significant threat to the rainforest. Choice D is incorrect as the passage provides evidence of a high number of animals inhabiting the Amazon Rainforest.
