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.

Newspapers and television news programs always seem to report about the bad things
happening in society. However, there is a place where readers can find some good news. That place is
the website called HappyNews. The man behind HappyNews is Byron Reese. Reese set up HappyNews
because he thought other news sources were giving people an unbalanced view of the world.
Reese said about HappyNews, “The news media gives you a distorted view of the world by
exaggerating bad news, misery, and despair. We’re trying to balance out the scale.”
Not everyone agrees with Reese’s view, though. Many people think that news sources have a
responsibility to provide news that is helpful to people. People need to know about issues or problems
in today’s society. Then they are better able to make informed decisions about things that affect their
daily lives. Reese said that HappyNews is not trying to stop people from learning about issues or
problems. HappyNews is just trying to provide a balanced picture of today’s world.
By the end of its first month online, HappyNews had more than 70,000 unique readers. About 60
percent of those readers were women. Something else unique makes HappyNews different from any of
the other news or information websites that are on the Internet. Unlike many other websites,
HappyNews gets fan mail from its readers on a daily basis.

Question 3: Which of the following is the best title for this passage?
A. “Byron Reese Tells People How to Be Happy” B. “Good News for a Change”
C. “Newspapers vs. Online News” D. “Why Women Like HappyNews”
Question 4: How is HappyNews different than other news sources?

A. It doesn’t tell them about important issues or problems.
B. Reese’s stories are about misery and despair.
C. Some sources give a balanced view.
D. The stories are from around the world.
Question 7: What does “exaggerating” mean in this reading?
A. improving B. explaining C. editing D. worsening

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.

Societies depend heavily on the ocean for food, transportation, recreation, waste disposal, and
minerals. Clearly, some of these uses are in conflict, and four of these five major uses provide a vehicle
for transmission of disease agents to humans. The primary source of marine borne illness is seafood.
Currently seafood is in high demand, both in industrialized and emerging nations, and it continues to be
a source of infectious diseases in humans throughout the world.
Transportation has also contributed to waterborne infectious diseases through the consumption of
contaminated water and seafood by ship passengers and crew. There is also evidence that ships are
responsible for the dissemination of exotic species through the discharge of dirty water into coastal
seas. Recreation is another source of exposure through ingestion of seawater or contact of skin and
mucous membranes.
In the final decade of the 20th century, it still appeared that waterborne diseases of humans were as
prevalent as they were at the start of century. For example, waterborne illnesses continued to be a
major killer of children throughout the world. It is estimated that 60% of the world's population lives in
coastal zones, the area within a few kilometers of the shoreline. Disease incidence is increasing
worldwide, promoted by both natural phenomena such as El Niño and human activities, including
sewage disposal.
Ancient diseases like cholera still cause epidemics while new agents of disease continue to be
discovered. Although the nature of diseases such as cholera and dysentery is well understood, the cause
of outbreaks of these diseases is unresolved. Experts still debate how cholera epidemics arise despite a
detailed understanding of the genetics, chemical structure, and mode of action of the cholera toxin.
As new diseases infect people through contaminated drinking water and seafood, recently
discoveries have confirmed their existence on Earth for thousands of years. The apparent emergence of
these could be the result of man-made influences or may reflect more sensitive modern detection
technologies. Whatever the cause, it is clear that infectious diseases, including waterborne ones
conveyed by the ocean, still plague humankind.

Newspapers and television news programs always seem to report about the bad things
happening in society. However, there is a place where readers can find some good news. That place is
the website called HappyNews. The man behind HappyNews is Byron Reese. Reese set up HappyNews
because he thought other news sources were giving people an unbalanced view of the world.
Reese said about HappyNews, “The news media gives you a distorted view of the world by
exaggerating bad news, misery, and despair. We’re trying to balance out the scale.”
Not everyone agrees with Reese’s view, though. Many people think that news sources have a
responsibility to provide news that is helpful to people. People need to know about issues or problems
in today’s society. Then they are better able to make informed decisions about things that affect their
daily lives. Reese said that HappyNews is not trying to stop people from learning about issues or
problems. HappyNews is just trying to provide a balanced picture of today’s world.
By the end of its first month online, HappyNews had more than 70,000 unique readers. About 60
percent of those readers were women. Something else unique makes HappyNews different from any of
the other news or information websites that are on the Internet. Unlike many other websites,
HappyNews gets fan mail from its readers on a daily basis.

Question 28: Why might some people NOT like HappyNews?


A. It doesn’t tell them about important issues or problems.
B. Reese’s stories are about misery and despair.
C. Some sources give a balanced view.
D. The stories are from around the world.
Question 29: What does “exaggerating” mean in this reading?
A. worsening B. explaining C. editing D. improving
Question 30: The word “they” in paragraph 2 refers to________.
A. people B. problems C. sources D. issues
Question 31: Which of the following is the best title for this passage?
A. “Byron Reese Tells People How to Be Happy” B. “Good News for a Change”
C. “Newspapers vs. Online News” D. “Why Women Like HappyNews”
Question 32: How is HappyNews different than other news sources?
A. All of the stories are written by Reese.
B. HappyNews does not exaggerate its stories.
C. Its stories are not all about bad things.
D. The website only has stories about women.

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.

Societies depend heavily on the ocean for food, transportation, recreation, waste disposal, and
minerals. Clearly, some of these uses are in conflict, and four of these five major uses provide a vehicle
for transmission of disease agents to humans. The primary source of marine borne illness is seafood.
Currently seafood is in high demand, both in industrialized and emerging nations, and it continues to be
a source of infectious diseases in humans throughout the world.
Transportation has also contributed to waterborne infectious diseases through the consumption of
contaminated water and seafood by ship passengers and crew. There is also evidence that ships
are responsible for the dissemination of exotic species through the discharge of dirty water into coastal
seas. Recreation is another source of exposure through ingestion of seawater or contact of skin and
mucous membranes.
In the final decade of the 20th century, it still appeared that waterborne diseases of humans were as
prevalent as they were at the start of century. For example, waterborne illnesses continued to be a
major killer of children throughout the world. It is estimated that 60% of the world's population lives in
coastal zones, the area within a few kilometers of the shoreline. Disease incidence is increasing
worldwide, promoted by both natural phenomena such as El Niño and human activities, including
sewage disposal.
Ancient diseases like cholera still cause epidemics while new agents of disease continue to be
discovered. Although the nature of diseases such as cholera and dysentery is well understood, the cause
of outbreaks of these diseases is unresolved. Experts still debate how cholera epidemics arise despite a
detailed understanding of the genetics, chemical structure, and mode of action of the cholera toxin.
As new diseases infect people through contaminated drinking water and seafood, recently
discoveries have confirmed their existence on Earth for thousands of years. The apparent emergence of
these could be the result of man-made influences or may reflect more sensitive modern detection
technologies. Whatever the cause, it is clear that infectious diseases, including waterborne ones
conveyed by the ocean, still plague humankind.

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.

Societies depend heavily on the ocean for food, transportation, recreation, waste disposal, and
minerals. Clearly, some of these uses are in conflict, and four of these five major uses provide a vehicle
for transmission of disease agents to humans. The primary source of marine borne illness is seafood.
Currently seafood is in high demand, both in industrialized and emerging nations, and it continues to be
a source of infectious diseases in humans throughout the world.
Transportation has also contributed to waterborne infectious diseases through the consumption of
contaminated water and seafood by ship passengers and crew. There is also evidence that ships are
responsible for the dissemination of exotic species through the discharge of dirty water into coastal
seas. Recreation is another source of exposure through ingestion of seawater or contact of skin and
mucous membranes.
In the final decade of the 20th century, it still appeared that waterborne diseases of humans were as
prevalent as they were at the start of century. For example, waterborne illnesses continued to be a
major killer of children throughout the world. It is estimated that 60% of the world's population lives in
coastal zones, the area within a few kilometers of the shoreline. Disease incidence is increasing
worldwide, promoted by both natural phenomena such as El Niño and human activities, including
sewage disposal.
Ancient diseases like cholera still cause epidemics while new agents of disease continue to be
discovered. Although the nature of diseases such as cholera and dysentery is well understood, the cause
of outbreaks of these diseases is unresolved. Experts still debate how cholera epidemics arise despite a
detailed understanding of the genetics, chemical structure, and mode of action of the cholera toxin.
As new diseases infect people through contaminated drinking water and seafood, recently
discoveries have confirmed their existence on Earth for thousands of years. The apparent emergence of
these could be the result of man-made influences or may reflect more sensitive modern detection
technologies. Whatever the cause, it is clear that infectious diseases, including waterborne ones
conveyed by the ocean, still plague humankind.
(Adapted from: https://www.nap.edu/read/6368/chapter/5#45)

Newspapers and television news programs always seem to report about the bad things
happening in society. However, there is a place where readers can find some good news. That place is
the website called HappyNews. The man behind HappyNews is Byron Reese. Reese set up HappyNews
because he thought other news sources were giving people an unbalanced view of the world.
Reese said about HappyNews, “The news media gives you a distorted view of the world by
exaggerating bad news, misery, and despair. We’re trying to balance out the scale.”
Not everyone agrees with Reese’s view, though. Many people think that news sources have a
responsibility to provide news that is helpful to people. People need to know about issues or problems
in today’s society. Then they are better able to make informed decisions about things that affect their
daily lives. Reese said that HappyNews is not trying to stop people from learning about issues or
problems. HappyNews is just trying to provide a balanced picture of today’s world.
By the end of its first month online, HappyNews had more than 70,000 unique readers. About 60

major killer of children throughout the world. It is estimated that 60% of the world's population lives in
coastal zones, the area within a few kilometers of the shoreline. Disease incidence is increasing
worldwide, promoted by both natural phenomena such as El Niño and human activities, including
sewage disposal.
Ancient diseases like cholera still cause epidemics while new agents of disease continue to be
discovered. Although the nature of diseases such as cholera and dysentery is well understood, the cause
of outbreaks of these diseases is unresolved. Experts still debate how cholera epidemics arise despite a
detailed understanding of the genetics, chemical structure, and mode of action of the cholera toxin.
As new diseases infect people through contaminated drinking water and seafood, recently
discoveries have confirmed their existence on Earth for thousands of years. The apparent emergence of
these could be the result of man-made influences or may reflect more sensitive modern detection
technologies. Whatever the cause, it is clear that infectious diseases, including waterborne ones
conveyed by the ocean, still plague humankind.

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

Newspapers and television news programs always seem to report about the bad things happening in
society. However, there is a place where readers can find some good news. That place is the website
called HappyNews. The man behind HappyNews is Byron Reese. Reese set up HappyNews because he
thought other news sources were giving people an unbalanced view of the world. Reese said
about HappyNews, “The news media gives you a distorted view of the world by exaggerating bad
news, misery, and despair. We’re trying to balance out the scale.”
Not everyone agrees with Reese’s view, though. Many people think that news sources have a
responsibility to provide news that is helpful to people. People need to know about issues or problems
in today’s society. Then they are better able to make informed decisions about things that affect their
daily lives. Reese said that HappyNews is not trying to stop people from learning about issues or
problems. HappyNews is just trying to provide a balanced picture of today’s world.
By the end of its first month online, HappyNews had more than 70,000 unique readers. About 60
percent of those readers were women. Something else unique makes HappyNews different from any of
the other news or information websites that are on the Internet. Unlike many other websites,
HappyNews gets fan mail from its readers on a daily basis.

Question 31: Why might some people NOT like HappyNews?


A. It doesn’t tell them about important issues or problems.

C. Some sources give a balanced view.

D. The stories are from around the world.


Question 32: What does “exaggerating” mean in this reading?
A. editing B. explaining C. worsening D. improving
Question 33: The word “they” in paragraph 2 refers to________.

Question 34: Which of the following is the best title for this passage?
A. “Byron Reese Tells People How to Be Happy” B. “Good News for a Change”
C. “Newspapers vs. Online News” D. “Why Women Like HappyNews”
Question 35: How is HappyNews different than other news sources?

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.

Societies depend heavily on the ocean for food, transportation, recreation, waste disposal, and
minerals. Clearly, some of these uses are in conflict, and four of these five major uses provide a vehicle
for transmission of disease agents to humans. The primary source of marine borne illness is seafood.
Currently seafood is in high demand, both in industrialized and emerging nations, and it continues to be
a source of infectious diseases in humans throughout the world.
Transportation has also contributed to waterborne infectious diseases through the consumption of
contaminated water and seafood by ship passengers and crew. There is also evidence that ships are
responsible for the dissemination of exotic species through the discharge of dirty water into
coastal seas. Recreation is another source of exposure through ingestion of seawater or contact of skin
and mucous membranes.
In the final decade of the 20th century, it still appeared that waterborne diseases of humans were as
prevalent as they were at the start of century. For example, waterborne illnesses continued to be a
major killer of children throughout the world. It is estimated that 60% of the world's population lives in
coastal zones, the area within a few kilometers of the shoreline. Disease incidence is increasing
worldwide, promoted by both natural phenomena such as El Niño and human activities, including
sewage disposal.
Ancient diseases like cholera still cause epidemics while new agents of disease continue to be
discovered. Although the nature of diseases such as cholera and dysentery is well understood, the cause
of outbreaks of these diseases is unresolved. Experts still debate how cholera epidemics arise despite a
detailed understanding of the genetics, chemical structure, and mode of action of the cholera toxin.

discoveries have confirmed their existence on Earth for thousands of years. The apparent emergence of
these could be the result of man-made influences or may reflect more sensitive modern detection
technologies. Whatever the cause, it is clear that infectious diseases, including waterborne ones

a source of infectious diseases in humans throughout the world.
Transportation has also contributed to waterborne infectious diseases through the consumption of
contaminated water and seafood by ship passengers and crew. There is also evidence that ships are
responsible for the dissemination of exotic species through the discharge of dirty water into coastal
seas. Recreation is another source of exposure through ingestion of seawater or contact of skin and
mucous membranes.
In the final decade of the 20th century, it still appeared that waterborne diseases of humans were as
prevalent as they were at the start of century. For example, waterborne illnesses continued to be a
major killer of children throughout the world. It is estimated that 60% of the world's population lives in
coastal zones, the area within a few kilometers of the shoreline. Disease incidence is increasing
worldwide, promoted by both natural phenomena such as El Niño and human activities, including
sewage disposal.
Ancient diseases like cholera still cause epidemics while new agents of disease continue to be
discovered. Although the nature of diseases such as cholera and dysentery is well understood, the cause
of outbreaks of these diseases is unresolved. Experts still debate how cholera epidemics arise despite a
detailed understanding of the genetics, chemical structure, and mode of action of the cholera toxin.
As new diseases infect people through contaminated drinking water and seafood, recently
discoveries have confirmed their existence on Earth for thousands of years. The apparent emergence of
these could be the result of man-made influences or may reflect more sensitive modern detection
technologies. Whatever the cause, it is clear that infectious diseases, including waterborne ones
conveyed by the ocean, still plague humankind.
