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.
Why is it that flying to New York from London will leave you feeling less tired than
flying to London from New York? The answer may be a clear case of biology not being able to
keep up with technology. Deep inside the brain there is a “clock” that governs every aspect of
the body’s functioning: sleep and wake cycles, levels of alertness, performance, mood, hormone
levels, digestion, body temperature and so on. It regulates all of these functions on a 24-hour
basis and is called the circadian clock (from the Latin, circa “about” + dies “day”).
This body clock programmes us to be sleepy twice a day, between 3-5 a.m. and again
between 3-5 p.m. Afternoon tea and siesta times are all cultural responses to our natural
biological sleepiness in the afternoon. One of the major causes of the travelers’ malady known
as jet lag is the non-alignment of a person’s internal body clock with clocks in the external
world. Crossing different time zones confuses the circadian clock, which then has to adjust to
the new time and patterns of light and activity. To make matters more complex, not all internal
body functions adjust at the same rate. So your sleep/wake may adjust to a new time zone at one
rate, while your temperature adjusts at a different pace. Your digestion may be on a different
schedule altogether.
Though we live in a 24-hour day, the natural tendency of the body clock is to extend our
day beyond 24 hours. It is contrary to our biological programming to shrink our day. That is
why travelling in a westward direction is more body-clock friendly than flying east. NASA
studies of long haul pilots showed that westward travel was associated with significantly better
sleep quantity and quality than eastward flights. When flying west, you are “extending” your
day, thus travelling in the natural direction of your internal clock. Flying eastward will involve
“shrinking” or reducing your day and is in direct opposition to your internal clock’s natural
tendency.
One of the more common complaints of travelers is that their sleep becomes disrupted.
There are many reasons for this: Changing time zones and schedules, changing light and
activity levels, trying to sleep when your body clock is programmed to be awake, disruption of
the internal circadian clock and working longer hours. Sleep loss, jet lag and fatigue can
seriously affect our ability to function well. Judgment and decision-making can be reduced by
50%, attention by 75 percent, memory by 20 percent and communication by 30 percent. It is
often suggested that you adjust your watch as soon as you board a plane, supposedly to try to
help you adjust to your destination’s schedule as soon as you arrive. But it can take the body
clock several days to several weeks to fully adjust to a new time zone.

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.
When another old cave is discovered in the south of France, it is not usually news. Rather,
it is an ordinary event. Such discoveries are so frequent these days that hardly anybody pays
heed to them. However, when the Lascaux cave complex was discovered in 1940, the world
was amazed. Painted directly on its walls were hundreds of scenes showing how people lived
thousands of years ago. The scenes show people hunting animals, such as bison or wild cats.
Other images depict birds and, most noticeably, horses, which appear in more than 300 wall
images, by far outnumbering all other animals.
Early artists drawing these animals accomplished a monumental and difficult
task. “They” did not limit themselves to the easily accessible walls but carried their painting
materials to spaces that required climbing steep walls or crawling into narrow passages in the
Lascaux complex.
Unfortunately, the paintings have been exposed to the destructive action of water and
temperature changes, which easily wear the images away. Because the Lascaux caves have
many entrances, air movement has also damaged the images inside. Although they are not out in
the open air, where natural light would have destroyed them long ago, many of the images have
deteriorated and are barely recognizable. To prevent further damage, the site was closed to
tourists in 1963, 23 years after it was discovered.
