C- Reading 5- Read the following passage then answer the questions:

        The day before a long flight you are frantically doing last-minute chores and errands, packing and reading guide books. Then, on the plane, you have several drinks with dinner and stay up late watching the movie. After a brief nap, it's time for breakfast and a morning arrival in , let's say, Paris or Rome . Adrenaline flowing, you spend the entire day sightseeing and taking pictures. By evening, exhaustion has set in, and the next morning, you can hardly wake up before noon . Jet lag has taken hold.

      Most people who travel by air across multiple time zones fall victim to this affliction of modern air travel. They may suffer from any of a number of unpleasant symptoms, including insomnia, fatigue, nausea , sleepiness , and lethargy .

       Dr Minsky points out that there are three primary causes of jet lag , and of these , two are avoidable . First , people often wear themselves out getting ready for a trip , so they are already exhausted when they get on the plane . Second, long-distance travellers often have a couple of drinks to pass the time. The alcohol can cause stomach distress and interfere with getting a good night's sleep. The third and unavoidable cause of jet lag is the fact that long distance air travel upsets your internal biological clock.

A) Give short answers to the following questions :

1. According to this article, is jet lag worse when you travel eastward or westward? Why?

2. What is jet lag caused by ?
3. What can you do to minimize jet lag ?
B) Choose the correct answer from a, b , c or d :
4. If your internal biological clock is upset by long distance air travel, ..................... occurs.
a) flood                b) volcano         c) jet lag         d) earthquake
5. To have a good night's sleep , you mustn't drink ..................... .
a) fizzy drinks                           b) heavy drinks
c) sour drinks                               d) sweet drinks
 
6. Read the following passage, then answer the questions :

     Throughout New England, people know that fall has arrived when the Mcintosh apples begin to turn red in the orchards in early September. All through September and October, the aroma of ripe apples fills the air on sunny days - an invitation to come picking.

' 'A day of apple picking is , in fact, a popular way to spend a fall day in New England . It is generally possible to find an orchard within an hour's drive and the trip is well worth the time . Not only will it provide you with plenty of the freshest apples to be found , but it also will give you a chance to take in some sunshine and autumn scenery and get some exercise . And the picking is usually best done by adults . Children should not climb up into trees and risk hurting themselves and damaging the trees - younger members of the family can have fun just romping around the orchard.

     The picking may not take long - two hours at most - but many of the orchard owners now offer other kinds of entertainment. At some orchards , you can go for pony rides or ride on a hay-filled wagon . You may be able to watch a horse-show or visit the cows or sheep in the pasture . Or you may decide to take a hike and have a picnic along a country lane . Some orchards have set up refreshment stands in their bams where you can taste local products, such as apple cider and homemade baked goods .

A) Give short answers to the following questions :
1. Which season does this article recommend picking apples ?
2. What kind of apples are the very first to ripen ?
3. What else can you do at an orchard besides picking apples ?
B) Choose the correct answer from a , b , c or d :
