Ques: Read the following article and select the best answer. Article: Canadian scientists have found that the more emotional or mental challenges a person faces in a day, the less determined they become to work out physically. However, the findings should not stop us from keeping fit. Experts believe that willpower is like a muscle, and needs to be exercised to help one avoid the temptation spending a night on the couch instead. Kathleen Martin-Ginis, a professor of kinesiology-the science of movement--who led the study, says everyone has a limited amount of willpower, and that it will be reduced by stress. Miss Martin-Ginis, of Canada's McMaster University, explains," Cognitive tasks, as well as tasks such as regulating one's emotions, can reduce one's capacity to force oneself to exercise. " Her team of scientists performed a so-called "Stroop" test on volunteers to reach their conclusions. The experiment involved showing participants words associated with color1s but printed in different color1s-for example, the word "blue" written in red ink Participants were divided into two groups. One group was asked to name the color1 of the ink, instead to say the printed word, while the other wasn't Martin-Girus says, "After we used this cognitive task to use up their self-regulatory capacity, the participants didn't exercise as hard as those who had not performed the task " The more people concentrated on the cognitive task, the more likely they were to skip exercise sessions over the next eight week You only have so much willpower. However, there are ways to strengthen willpower. The study found the listening to music before going to the gym can help, as well as making a commitment to work out with friends. It also concluded that willpower can be stretched by constant cake, or forcing oneself to study an extra hour each night Martin- Ginis adds," There are strategies people can use to help revitalize themselves after they've used up their self-regulation Willpower is like a muscle: it needs to be used to stay strong. " Question: What can we infer from the passage? , - Will power can be challenged to become powerful. - McMaster University is famous for its kinesiology. - Effective ways to resist temptations have been found - The study has an impact on the science of movement
Ans: Will power can be challenged to become powerful.

Ques: Read the following article and select the best answer. Article: Imagine a boy from a small village in East Africa, He from a very early age has been looking after cattle. At twelve years old he knows more about cattle than most of you. However, he has never been to school. Has this boy ever had any education?

New experiences are even more fun when we share them with other people. Encouragement from the people around us enables us to explore things as much as possible. As we grow up, we begin to find out what we are capable of doing. You may be good at cooking, or singing or playing football. You find this out by doing these things. Just thinking about cooking doesn't tell you if you are good at it. We learn so much just living from day to day. So why is school important? Of course you can learn some things better at home than at school, like how to do the shopping, and how to help old or disabled people who can' t do everything for themselves.
