4. IX. Read the following passages and choose the best answers to each questions (1 point) People usually complain that they never have enough time to accomplish tasks. The hours and minutes seem to slip away before many planned chores get done. According to time management experts, the main reason for this is that most people fail to set priorities about what to do first. They get tied down by trivial; time-consuming matters and never complete the important ones. One simple solution often used by those at the top is to keep lists of tasks to be accomplished daily. These lists order jobs from most essential to least essential and are checked regularly through the day to access progress. Not only is this an effective way to imagine time, but also it serves to give individuals a much-deserved sense of satisfaction over their achievements. People who do not keep lists often face the end of the work with uncertainty over the significance of their accomplishments, which over time can contribute to serious problems in mental and physical health. 1. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. Common Complains About Work B. Accomplishing Trivial Matters C. Achieving Job Satisfaction D. Learning To Manage Time 2. According to the passage, why do many people never seem to have enough time to accomplish things? A. They do not prioritise tasks. B. They get tied down by one difficult problem. C. They fail to deal with trivial matters. D. They do not seek the advice of time management experts. 3. In paragraph 2, the word those refer to: A. daily lists B. trivial matters C. priorities D. people 4. The passage states that one solution to time management problems is to: A. consult a time management expert B. accomplish time-consuming matters first C. keep daily lists of priorities and check them regularly. D. spend only a short time on each task. 5. The paragraph following the passage most probably discusses: A. mental and physical health problems.

Read the passage and choose the best answer A, B, C or D (1 pt) In the future, maybe all cars that run on petrol will be replaced by solar cars, which have been around for a while, but with recent developments in solar car design and the measurement of photovoltaic cells becoming smaller, the dream of a truly efficient solar car is more reality than fantasy. A solar car is a vehicle powered by photovoltaic cells, also called solar cells, which convert sunlight (light energy) into electrical energy. As a source of energy on earth, there is nothing like the sun: in a mere one thousandth of one second (.001), the sun emits enough energy to fulfill our planet's energy needs for the next 5,000 years. It is a staggering fact, and an exciting one. Since the energy from the sun is responsible for renewable resources such as wind, tides, and heat, solar energy seems to offer the brightest future for not only cars, but for the entire energy crisis. Despite the appearance that solar energy may be the least feasible among the current crop of alternative fuel propositions, new solar powered devices and more specifically solar powered cars are beginning to be developed. How do Solar. Cars work? The photo-voltaic cells absorb photons from sunlight. This action generates heat, which the cells then convert into electrical energy and stores in an on-board battery. This process of conversion is called the photovoltaic effect. Not surprisingly, such a vehicle has zero emissions, and is very environmentally friendly. Unfortunately, at the moment photovoltaic cells are extremely inefficient, yet as time progresses the efficiency of these cells will grow. This will make solar energy and solar cars the fuel and car of the future-a closer reality. 71. According to the text, _________ A. up to now, we have designed some solar B. solar cars have been very popular for cars. many years. C. we have not produced any solar cars yet. D. solar cars are not as much appreciated as other kinds of car. 72. A solar car is supplied power from_________. A. gas B. petrol C. photovoltaic cells D. electricity 73. Which can not help us to solve the problem of energy crisis? A. wind B. tide C. the sun D. heat from the moon 74. According to the text, _________ A. no powered solar devices have been B. besides solar car, we have also developed developed so far. solar powered device. C. solar energy plans are more feasible than D. tide can supply more energy than the sun. wind energy plans. 75. The photovoltaic effect is _________ 5
