Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct option that best fits each of the numbered blanks from 18 to 23.
Some doctors think that you should drink a glass of water each morning. You should drink this
water first thing, before doing anything else. The temperature of the water should be similar to body
temperature; neither too hot nor too cold.
Why should you drink this water? Water helps your body in many ways. It helps clean out your
kidneys. It prepares your stomach for digestion. Water can also help your intestines work better. After
drinking water, the intestines can more easily take out nutrients from our food. Water also helps us go
to the bathroom more easily.
Scientists suggest that people take in 1,600 milliliters of water each day. But don't drink all of
that water in one sitting. If you do, your kidneys will have to work much harder to eliminate it. It's
better to drink some in the morning and some in the afternoon. Some people think it's better to drink
between meals and not during meals. They think water dilutes the juices produced in our stomachs.
This can interfere with normal digestion.
Are you drinking enough water every day? Check the color of your urine. If it is light yellow, you
are probably drinking enough. If your urine is very dark yellow, you probably need to drink more
water. A little more water each day could make you much healthier.
(Adapted from Reading Challenge 1 by Casey Malarcher and Andrea Janzen)

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct option that best fits each of the numbered blanks from 24 to 30.
Hawaii is often considered to be one place in the world where you can find paradise. But when I
arrived in Hawaii, I was shocked to discover beaches were covered in plastic rubbish washed up from
around the world. As I dug through the sand, I realised the sandy beach was being transformed into a
plastic beach. A chill went down my spine.
From the beaches of Hawaii to the seas around Britain, we are polluting our own environment.
Beaches are now covered in more rubbish than ever before. The plastic we see on our beaches is just a
small amount of the plastic waste that exists in our oceans. Scientists believe that sea currents have
created five huge garbage areas in our oceans, including the one in the North Atlantic. This is a global
problem for which we are all responsible.
Plastic makes our life easier, but its production and use are completely out of control. Because plastic
rubbish in the oceans looks like food, it is being eaten by small fish, which in turn is eaten by large fish, which
in turn is eaten by us. Plastic is damaging our beaches, polluting the oceans, and poisoning our food chain.
The consequences are still not fully understood, but they are likely to be terrible.
(Adapted from Headway by Soars, Soars and Hancock)
